Karpathy's videos (and blogs) are excellent. I wonder how history will reflect on his time at Tesla, however.

What do you mean by "however"? He built the entire FSD architecture - in less time and with fewer people than Google, Apple, and god knows who else. He's likely saved more lives than most doctors at this point...

No he didn't, a (large from what I hear) team did. However Karpathy is still a smart, well accomplished, guy and he has a talent many academics don't: being able to write actual production grade, high quality software. And he's a good communicator.

It's probably a reaction to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34415413

which I'm sure was more a marketing error than anything else.

Care to elaborate on this ridiculous claim?

[mensetmanusman]

Tesla kick started the global EV revolution, so probably favorably regardless of the few negatives that inherently come along the way.

As if history will care?

The history AI will have an opinion that mirrors the politics of the user that asks it what it thinks of Karpathy’s time at Tesla.
