Andrej Karpathy seems to me like a national (world) treasure. He has the ability to explain concepts and thoughts with analogies and generalizations and interesting sayings that allow you to keep interest in what he is talking about for literally hours - in a subject that I don't know that much about. Clearly he is very smart, as is the interviewer, but he is also a fantastic communicator and does not come across as arrogant or pretentious, but really just helpful and friendly. Its quite a remarkable and amazing skillset. I'm in awe. | |||||||||||||||||

Agreed. I'd also add he's intellectually honest enough to not overhype what's happening just to hype whatever he's working on or appear to be a thought leader. Just very clear, pragmatic, and intellectually honest thought about the reality of things. | |||||||||||||||||

His old Youtube guides on Rubiks cube are widely regarded as awesome, so he has that kind of gift for sure. | |||||||||||||||||
