Fame doesn’t enter it - the point is Karpathy has about as strong a claim as anyone to having “actually used LLMs for non trivial tasks”.

That is not the case at all, considering that he himself started using and tweeting about llms for coding fairly recently. He's probably less experienced in that area than most people who started using claude cli last year.

He is a researcher who understands neural networks and their architectures exceptionally well. That is all.

And that is precisely why he is more qualified on the subject than your average vibe coder!
