Is it becoming a thing to misspell and add grammatical mistakes on purpose to show that an LLM didn't write the blog post? I noticed several spelling mistakes in Karpathy's blog post that this article is based on and in this article.

I expect this kind of counter signaling to become more common in the coming years.

People aren't gonna be happy I spell this out, but, Karpathy's not The Dude. He's got a big Twitter following so people assume somethings going on or important, but he just isn't. Biggest thing he did in his career was feed Elon's Full Self Driving delusion for years and years and years. Note, then, how long he lasted at OpenAI, and how much time he spends on code golf. If you're angry to read this, please, take a minute and let me know the last time you saw something from him that didn't involve A) code golf B) coining phrases.

  Agree, same as Carmack. They're suit and tie types now.

  I have no skin in the game here, but this seems a bit "sharp-edged", do you have something against the guy? He just seems deep into his influencer/retired hobbyist arc to me...

    No, and me too. Just had been sitting in my chest a while when I see people expecting non-hobbyist work from him. And had been worried to post it because things you and I understand become sharp-edged when spoken out loud to other people who don't.

  Tesla FSD isn't a delusion. There are people using it to successfully do long distance drives across the USA right now, without interventions. Dunno how much credit Karpathy gets for that, but the tech works.

    I almost edited in something about 2018 vs 2026 but didn’t, trusted you to understand :)
