@karpathy This is not a day for celebrating, Andrej.

It's a very dark and very sad day, and the damage may be impossible to undo.

@basedjensen I idolize the man so much that I am willing to wait a bit before putting out a concrete opinion on @karpathy. For all we know, he may currently be fighting against the move as we speak. But I do understand where you are coming from.

@basedjensen Wait, what did he do? He joined like a month ago. I doubt he is responsible for any of the policy decisions. And obviously can't publicly criticize them. I don't see him defending them either though?

@basedjensen it was so saddening to me, i have to assume it was a billion dollar check.

@basedjensen It's so adorable people think OpenAI isn't going to adopt the same exact approach going forward. It's like Disney Adults.

@basedjensen Don't agree with recent opinions but to say karparhy has "burned his reputation" is far fetched. Still huge net gain to the field with all offerings considered. Could be speaking from insider perspective..

@basedjensen I miss the old Karpathy, straight from the lab Karpathy

Taught us the math Karpathy, open the path Karpathy

I hate the new Karpathy, the closed-door Karpathy

The works-for-the-man Karpathy, no GitHub plan Karpathy

I miss the YouTube Karpathy, backprop explained Karpathy

@basedjensen I hope the backlash gets visible enough for them to change something, I just want to know when I’m being throttled

@InmanRoshi @basedjensen It's shocking that Anthropic are diving for the bottom first. I thought they were pitching themselves as responsible with AI for humanity. Not money grabbing sell-outs. Probably the trillion dollar IPO is colouring their judgement.

@Brian_Mosley_UK @basedjensen "Sell out". lmao, dude, this isn't garage indie rock bands. These are trillion dollar marketcap companies that are going to have to be constantly on guard against regulation and litigation risks going forward.

@InmanRoshi @basedjensen Selling out the human race comes with a massive payoff. But you can only eat 3 meals a day and your reputation is all you have.
