How many hours a day do you work? And what does your daily schedule look like?

  I count myself very fortunate that I find the word "work" very confusing.

    I know what you mean but I still think that there’s a number you can give. Like this counts as work. What does your average daily schedule look like?

      I'm interested in this too Karpathy, would love to know. Not sure why you're being down voted Adam.

It's awesome to see you doing this, and taking the time to respond here! Ditto for your (re)implementation of transformers a while back, which you clearly worked on for fun as a side project too. The world would be such a better place if every executive in charge of technology at a large company engaged in these kinds of side projects for fun on a regular basis :-) If I may, let me ask you an unrelated question that just 'popped in my head' only now but is related to your recent presentation at CVPR: Are you guys at Tesla fusing video with audio data for self-driving? Just curious. I ask because (a) sound waves at frequencies detectable by the human ear appear to be quite important for both routine and edge-case situations (e.g., sounds of other vehicles braking/screeching/accelerating/passing, sirens of ambulances/police cars/fire trucks, bursts of honks from other vehicles, people suddenly shouting/screaming nearby), and (b) audio and video signals are already synchronized, so I imagine fusing them should be more straightforward (e.g., there's already some research out there on applying deep learning to video clips with audio).

Would you be open to doing an AMA on here? I'm sure a lot of software people would love to hear more of your thoughts on software and stuff!
