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/
