Karpathy is probably one of the biggest names in AI, I do wonder where he fits now. He's sort of bounced around Tesla back to OpenAI back to independent. He sort of left OpenAI before it really hit the inflection point, and he was at Tesla for a long time and they didn't really deliver what they wanted on the AI side. Now he's bounced around a few places. I understand that the leaders in this market play this silly g…

I somehow felt he, along with Andrew Ng, are very few well-known AI experts that are left behind on the money side during the AI-gets-me-super-rich crazy time, unfortunately.

Only if you think B is an important thing. He is easily > $100M from Tesla.

Tesla self driving works. I don’t know if Karpathy deserves credit for that or not.

i wouldn't be surprised if he just becomes a glorified marketer for anthro. im also going to guess that whatever research he does would be free roam research that primarily serves to market the fact that claude was able to help perform the research. the visible stuff he's been working on has been mostly agent soft skills. off the top of my head is autoresearch and his the wiki knowledge stuff. nothing particularly gr…

It's also hard to any hard research on your own without resources. At best a few gpus can only go so far right now.

OpenAI seems to be dumping a LOT of money into marketing on social media at least.

I’ve been using Claude and Codex extremely heavily and use adblockers so I don’t see them

I think they mean the paid shills

Anthropic is on a roll: - best harness overall (well maybe until like a month ago when gpt5.5 and codex came out) - acquires bun - acquires stainless for SDKs - deal with Elon for compute - karpathy what else did I miss?

they invented MCP, Skills, made these standards open so anyone could build the harness around them.

No it implies that he is more valuable for being famous than the hands-on work he can produce. This is the IC endgame

Honestly, if Skynet were possible, Anthropic would probably build it first and claim they had to because OpenAI is bad.

And then regulatory capture it to death. Seriously, Anthropic is top notch in their coding models, but they are not the good guys in the tech vs. product for humanity's sake debate.

yeah but i don't think there's any large org which is 'good guys'. Anyone who wants to become a monopoly or very very large is probably suffering from some sort of a neural condition (psychosis, if plural) which we will study 100 years from now. Right now they are rewarded but I think our little minds forget to take the negative externalities into account.

I am working on a short story on this topic which is set in 2100s, where most humans have internalized the concept of 'having enough' after the great conflict. But some specimen have started to show signs of this syndrome again, and neuroscientists and psychologists are grappling to understand where it originated from.

Immense respect for Karpathy but are these people that optimistic about AI?

I mean short gig, few million dollars for Karpathy so makes sense for him but others should read the Cloudflare's report about the super scary model that Anthropic wouldn't release because they love humanity more than their balance sheet.

Anthropic has drawn lines with the most powerful organization in the world, that OpenAI capitulated on within hours for a small contract.

100% and that was bold and set a good example, at least from the outside.
