The image of a bunch of children in a room gleefully playing with their computers is horror movie type stuff, but because it's in a white room with plants and not their parent's basement with the lights off, it's somehow a wonderful future.

Karpathy and his peer group are some of the most elitist and anti social people who have ever lived. I wonder how history will remember them.

Its early days. Agree with your point that the "vision" of the future laid out by tech people doesn't have much of a chance of becoming (accepted) reality, because its necessarily a reflection of their own inner world, largely devoid of importance and interactions with other people. Prime example, see metaverse. Most of us don't want to replace the real world with a (crappy) digital one; the sooner we build things that respects that fundamental value, the sooner we can build things that actually improves our lives.
