Did anyone here actually watch the video before commenting? I’m seeing all the same old opinions and no specific criticisms of anything Karpathy said here.

More specific responses have come in as people have digested more of the content.

This is the reflexive/reflective distinction (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). Reflexive comments—the kind that express some pre-existing feeling or opinion that happens to get triggered by association—are much faster to produce, so unfortunately they show up first in many threads.
