@karpathy Love this line she wrote - "no ifs, no buts, no bots" !

@karpathy I created this for my sister-in-law who is an excellent copywriter (and been left with reduced work due to AI). Hoping it helps de-slopify the internet a little to insert writers into the AI workflow. Helped me a lot on pitch decks. polish.it.com

- Drafted a blog post - Used an LLM to meticulously improve the argument over 4 hours. - Wow, feeling great, it’s so convincing! - Fun idea let’s ask it to argue the opposite. - LLM demolishes the entire argument and convinces me that the opposite is in fact true. - lol The LLMs may elicit an opinion when asked but are extremely competent in arguing almost any direction. This is actually super useful as a tool for forming your own opinions, just make sure to ask different directions and be careful with the sycophancy.

@HamelHusain It's just JSON though right? Pretty easy to plug into the likes of Claude Code and manage after the business person has something working? And cheaper than 1 months BA work + 1 month dev work?

Ya'll worried about AI Coding slop, when there as an entire army of n8n experts who are installing unmaintainable visual workflow spaghetti in small/medium sized businesses at scale Literal merchants of complexity. Its so much worse than using claude code. It's an artifact of being stuck 6 months in the past and n8n is all you know.

@chatgpt21 The sloppiest slop that anyone ever slopped. Those guys right out slopped

McDonald’s just dropped a new AI ad and it’s beautiful and I am genuinely tired of people pretending this is not the future of media. If this played on your TV during a normal commercial break, you would be disingenuous to say “its slop” or “I could easily tell it is AI.” It is a fantastic ad on its own merits, and it is obvious that AI video will eventually be one to one with reality, where you truly cannot tell the difference. if your of average intelligence and can extrapolate of course. When we get there, then what? Is it still “slop,” or does “slop” permeate as a label for anything made with AI, even when you cannot tell at all?

@atmanpandya That’s 20 years after the wright brothers. I think they’d honestly be pretty disappointed where we’ve gotten to with flying in 10 years since two rural Americans solved the problem

Imagine in 1925 you told someone that in 2025 we'd have - Self-driving cars, - instant communication with anyone on the planet for free in hi-res video, - Infinite encyclopedias in our pockets - self-landing rockets, - treatments for ~all common diseases of that time, - reduced global poverty by 90% - Instantly generated audio, video, text - Flying machines that take us anywhere in the world, any time. You would've been considered beyond delusional optimistic and yet, we've surpassed it all. What we consider delusional optimistic today might be the lower end of what we will hopefully achieve as a species in the next 100 years. Optimism is the way to go!

Here is an alternative to the infamous 996 work schedule that is doing the rounds (9am to 9pm 6 days a week). I'm 41 and still shipping more than most while raising young kids. So I can testify you can run it without burnout risk over long horizon while juggling family. Set a single hour every night. After kids are down if you have them. After a training session if you don't. An hour is an easy time block to commit to. Say 7:45 - 8:45pm. Go hard for an hour. You'll probably hit a wall on anything mildly complex as your brain will be tired. Don't fight it, just push a bit for a few mins then stop and write down where you failed. Pack it in for the night. Next morning you'll magically wake up with the solution after a good nights sleep while still feeling refreshed. Do that 3-4 nights a week and you'll knock down a load of problems while only adding 3-4 hours work onto your week. 3-4 hours that didn't impact your family. So much you'll even be able to think about having another kid ;-)

@wewalkwillow @fchollet The fact that you suspect someone like Francois of writing this with AI just validates the whole post.

GenAI isn't just a technology; it's an informational pollutant—a pervasive cognitive smog that touches and corrupts every aspect of the Internet. It's not just a productivity tool; it's a kind of digital acid rain, silently eroding the value of all information. Every image is no longer a glimpse of reality, but a potential vector for synthetic deception. Every article is no longer a unique voice, but a soulless permutation of data, a hollow echo in the digital chamber. This isn't just content creation; it's the flattening of the entire vibrant ecosystem of human expression, transforming a rich tapestry of ideas into a uniform, gray slurry of derivative, algorithmically optimized outputs. This isn't just innovation; it's the systematic contamination of our data streams, a semantic sludge that clogs the channels of genuine communication and cheapens the value of human thought—leaving us to sift through a digital landfill for a single original idea.

@fchollet It’s pretty clear the internet in its current format is dead.

@YngJackieAprile @AlexNoonan6 I didn’t like this but it was basically impossible not to click a button on 999 likes.

@AlexNoonan6 the only recent game that blew me away is Death Stranding 2. unreal graphics.

Am I crazy or have games looked like this for 10 years now

@forgebitz Any serious coder uses either both or none at all I reckon

i don't understand claude code vs cursor like you can just use both right, do people who only use claude code simply not write any code? how does that work

@ziv_ravid 6 hours later…😂

So, all the models underperform humans on the new International Mathematical Olympiad questions, and Grok-4 is especially bad on it, even with best-of-n selection? Unbelievable!

@teodorio 10 mins NSDR a day will help. Just not hubermans voice 😂.

Anyone has any tips on how to handle burnout? Working less is not an option.

@elder_plinius @_opencv_ They want you to be Aristides the Liberator I think 😅. Probably best to just ignore. The proof is in the pudding of your work.

easy there—not a plant. if you had no job, CC debt, student loans to pay off, and an inbox full of offers, you might sign on for a few 15-hour contracts out of curiosity too. what you’re not seeing is the half a dozen full-time in-house offers with outrageous TC that would be many people’s dream job, all of which I’ve turned down to maintain neutrality and not get gag ordered. my loyalty lies with the people.

Is cracked pepper the best of the best of pepper? And if so, how do I get my hands on some cracked salt?

@karpathy The final nail in the internet coffin?! youtube.com/watch?v=PaVjQF…

Very impressed with Veo 3 and all the things people are finding on r/aivideo etc. Makes a big difference qualitatively when you add audio. There are a few macro aspects to video generation that may not be fully appreciated: 1. Video is the highest bandwidth input to brain. Not just for entertainment but also for work/learning - think diagrams, charts, animations, etc. 2. Video is the most easy/fun. The average person doesn't like reading/writing, it's very effortful. Anyone can (and wants to) engage with video. 3. The barrier to creating videos is -> 0. 4. For the first time, video is directly optimizable. I have to emphasize/explain the gravity of (4) a bit more. Until now, video has been all about indexing, ranking and serving a finite set of candidates that are (expensively) created by humans. If you are TikTok and you want to keep the attention of a person, the name of the game is to get creators to make videos, and then figure out which video to serve to which person. Collectively, the system of "human creators learning what people like and then ranking algorithms learning how to best show a video to a person" is a very, very poor optimizer. Ok, people are already addicted to TikTok so clearly it's pretty decent, but it's imo nowhere near what is possible in principle. The videos coming from Veo 3 and friends are the output of a neural network. This is a differentiable process. So you can now take arbitrary objectives, and crush them with gradient descent. I expect that this optimizer will turn out to be significantly, significantly more powerful than what we've seen so far. Even just the iterative, discrete process of optimizing prompts alone via both humans or AIs (and leaving parameters unchanged) may be a strong enough optimizer. So now we can take e.g. engagement (or pupil dilations or etc.) and optimize generated videos directly against that. Or we take ad click conversion and directly optimize against that. Why index a finite set of videos when you can generate them infinitely and optimize them directly. I think video has the potential to be an incredible surface for AI -> human communication, future AI GUIs etc. Think about how much easier it is to grok something from a really great diagram or an animation instead of a wall of text. And an incredible medium for human creativity. But this native, high bandwidth medium is also becoming directly optimizable. Imo, TikTok is nothing compared to what is possible. And I'm not so sure that we will like what "optimal" looks like.

X needs to auto hide the apes with "Explain this @ grok" comments.
