Karpathy called Anthropic's Slack bot a "new paradigm". He got roasted for it. Was that deserved? I made a video sharing my thoughts.

Andrej Karpathy@karpathy

This is a new paradigm for interacting with Claude that is significantly more "inline" with all the other human activity org-wide. Once you do all of the under the hood engineering work to make this "just work" (e.g. across tools, integrations, compute environments, memory, security, etc.), Claude basically joins the team in a seamless way - you can talk to it as you would talk to a person and it can help with a very large variety of workloads.

Imo this is the 3rd major redesign of LLM UIUX. The first paradigm was that the LLM is a website you go to, the second was that it is an app you download to your computer. This third one is that it is a self-contained, persistent, asynchronous entity with org-wide tools and context, working alongside teams of humans. It really takes a while to wrap your head around it, but it works and it is awesome.

Sentiment

Positive users praise Karpathy's focus on shared workspace context as a valuable new LLM interaction paradigm in the Claude Slack bot, while negative users accuse him of selling out to Anthropic and dismiss the idea as boring marketing.

@theo I mean, I've had this slack integration with openclaw since January, I'm not sure what's so special about it 🤷‍♂️

@theo dude is DevRel atp and being paid for it as he should he's really good at it

and yes, karpathy makes me look like a 1B param model.

@theo I think the reason this is getting so much hate is that a lot of Karpathy’s skill and interest is on the practical side but people don’t realize that. They think he’s some alpha autist foundation researcher.

It’s not beneath him, he just likes cool stuff and helping people.

@theo New paradigm in terms of extracting money on top of subscriptions, thats for sure.

@theo Been cooking that workflow since Jan at my companies

@evianoo @theo I feel like it has a lot to do with this OpenAI article https://openai.com/index/harness-engineering/

Tag alone may not be as impressive but when paired with a harness like the one mentioned in the article it means fully agent managed software

@theo Had this feature in all my openclaw / hermes / paperclip workflow via discord channels months ago. the problem that they talk about it like its their invention on how to get to mars.

@theo slackbot is a slackbot.

Can't be out here waiting for Fable and expect the internet to get hyped over a slackbot? I'd expect some real comment about the state of llms and the government, or something about cool new research anthropic is doing.

@theo you’d love OpenInspect.

It does a lot of this out of the box (minus memory) and is used across several organizations as an “org level harness”

will be looking deeper into some of the neat channel memory tricks as it seems easy enough to support

ani@anaisbetts

@theo A little roasted, but Anthropic has legitimately solved a Hard Problem here, creating an agent that can operate with lots of people but keep information scoped to those who have access, is surprisingly difficult
