Unpopular opinion… but IMO almost all of Karpathy’s fame an influence come from being an incredible educator and communicator.

Relative to his level of fame, his actual level of contribution as far as pushing forward AI, I’m not so sure about.

I deeply appreciate his educational content and I’m glad that it has led to a way for him to gain influence and sustain a career. Hopefully he’s rich enough from that that he can focus 100% on educational stuff!

A hackernews comment section is one of the least legitimate forums imaginable for the public reading of somebody's resume. Congress, maybe.

Honestly I have more faith in hacker news users than congress.

I wish more of us would run for Congress. I'd much rather have a government of technocrats of various stripes than ex lawyers and rich business types.

IMO governments, like websites, should be boring but effective, focused on small day to day improvements, not all flash and empty marketing chasing cultural trends...

This is like saying more lawyers should be writing software. Lawyers have extensive education and experience in the law and so work with..the law.

>>samgtx+Ro
Well, that's how you get "laws by lawyers, for lawyers", like "software by engineers, for engineers".

Maybe Congress needs the equivalent of UX and product types who actually care about what the people want... and can explain how it works to us in fancy how-to videos.

Members of Congress have plenty of support devoted to both what people say they want and what they actually positively respond to. That’s...the entire political side of the operation.
