Karpathy is a notable researcher and broader AI leader. Among many, many other things, he invented the term "vibecoding". He also recently posted his autoresearcher project, which is using a swarm of agents to optimize the LLM training and recently produced a training process that is the fastest to achieve GPT-2-level performance using a very small model.
Let people decide that. This particular thought for example is interesting. Its about a shift in the UX of agentic development that i do feel is severly lacking. Its the kind of thing that seeks obvious once pointed out. People was to be partof the conversation. i think its fine if its not pa ckaged in a self important blogpost, its still worth reading
Among many, many other things, he invented the term "vibecoding".
Yeah, that's a great reason to hate him, but the person you're responding to asked why his Twitter braindroppings belong on the front page.
It should be stated, again, that Karpathy completely missed the boat on LLMs, leaving OpenAI before they developed ChatGPT, and that he convinced Tesla to pursue a visual-only, no LIDR approach to FSD that doesn't work and probably won't ever work until after LIDR-based systems have already solved FSD.
Karpathy is the AI-equivalent of Sam Altman, who, for whatever reason, only fails upward. I think many HNers like him because he reminds them of themselves. Look at this bullshit and tell me it doesn't read like something the average HNer would write: http://karpathy.github.io/2020/06/11/biohacking-lite/

That's great, he sounds like a great guy ... when he say something newsworthy (on X or anywhere else), it might deserve to be here.
But his random thoughts on X do not.

People implement things based on his "random thoughts" (which are higher-quality than many people's longer-form writings).
Sounds as though one to follow on Twitter… and not duplicate here?
