Comment on Andrej Karpathy on learning (should never be fun)

Comments

A) Incredibly rich coming from a guy whose net worth is tied up in AI tech that is used heavily to summarize things under the guise of "learning"

B) Also incredibly wrong. It is absolutely possible to educate in an entertaining way; loads of teachers do this daily! See also: Duolingo; early education learners; many educator YouTube channels

C) The gym analogy is also incorrect. The likelihood of someone dropping out from an exercise program skyrockets if they see it as a slog. It is possible to find ways of exercising that are fun; in fact this is the ONLY way to exercise in a long-term way.
