Wait, "Karpathy's Autoresearch", you mean a loop that prompts the agent to improve a thing given a benchmark? People have been doing this for a year or more, Ralph loops etc. I hate the weird strange Twitter world of hero-worship for folks that seems to arise just out of large followings. Joe no-followers does this six months ago, nobody cares. Karpathy writes a really basic loop and it's now a kind of AI miracle prompting tons of grifters, copy-cats, weird hype. I do wonder if LLMs have just made everyone seriously, seriously dumber all of a sudden. Most of the "Autoresearch" posts I see are completely rubbish, with AI optimizing for nonsense benchmarks and people failing to understand the graphs they are looking at. So yes, the AI made itself better at a useless benchmark while also making the code worse in 10 other ways you don't actually understand.
