AI news and ESPN feels interchangeable sometimes.
- ssgodderidge 5mo agoAgreed! OpenAI even bought TBPN [1], who many have equated to ESPN for business. I think that even if Karpathy didn't add any new ideas to Anthropic (unlikely), adding him to the team is an interesting message to give to the market [1] https://openai.com/index/openai-acquires-tbpn/ https://openai.com/index/openai-acquires-tbpn/
- Danox 5mo agoMaybe he adds some semblance of stability? Anthropic probably is trying to sell it itself as the sane alternative to OpenAI with their IPO coming up choose us we are responsible.
- clickety_clack 5mo agoI’ve never seen names be big in the industry in this way before. It used to be founders, now it’s personalities.
- TeMPOraL 5mo agoAt least in this case we're talking about someone doing something useful and providing tons of value to the field, not about people being praised for starting a company and raising money.
- sph 5mo agoI'll reserve judgement until I've heard what ThePrimeagen and simonw have to say about this.
- christophilus 5mo agoThis gave me a good laugh because we don’t know what to think until Jon Blow says, “Here’s the thing.”
- yomismoaqui 5mo agoI'll reserve judgement until I've read what HN commenters have to say about this.
- bitwize 5mo agoBut you won't be stuck in Bristol, CT covering AI news.
- mupuff1234 5mo agoWouldn't be surprised if companies with too much "superstar" talent suffer from the same issues as sport teams usually do.
- drewbitt 5mo agoAt least with sports teams they entertain me and I can be a fan. For "X person joins Y company" I don't have a reason to care.
- Danox 5mo agoBut with the financial community, some semblance of stability is always important particularly with an IPO coming up. Choose us we don’t have a sideshow going on with Elon like the other guys, OpenAI.
- DANmode 5mo agoI’m the opposite. My “entertainment”, or intrigue, comes from the ability to impact my life. Other people sporting struggles to catch my attention longer than the play itself, for that reason.

- sph 5mo agoThat's exactly where my mind went. ~113 comments at the time of writing to discuss an announcement that a guy is starting a new job.
- tclancy 5mo agoOoh, if there is a market for someone to be the Stephen A Smith here, I am waiting by the phone. I AM WAITING BY THE PHONE I mean.
