| My two issues with him 1) He needs to publicly disavow Musk. Its a bit concerning when someone supposedly intelligent still speaks somewhat highly of someone so clearly not. 2) Be more open about his work at Tesla. From the interviews he has done, like about integration of Lidar, there are some questionable answers. It seems he is very highly focused on the ML stuff while lacking knowledge in the actual integration piece. |

Have you considered the possibility that someone you regard as extremely intelligent is speaking from real-life experience and direct proximity when they say another person is smart? Or perhaps your bias toward Musk make that impossible to even consider. |

| You can still respect the work of someone who is a complete pos. The same way you can criticize the bad work of a very nice person. |

| ▲ | joeyhage an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | There’s a lot of nuance to this. Regarding the former, what if someone used unethical or illegal means to produce the work? And regarding the latter, we can choose to provide constructive criticism out of kindness. Apathy or silence is a disservice to others in some cases. | |

| ▲ | ActorNightly an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | Musk being a PoS is a separate issue. My main concern is Karpathy taking about Musk as someone who is smart and makes good technical decisions. From all the interviews and stuff that came out within the past few years, its pretty clear that Musks only contribution to anything is just throwing money at stuff while also scamming suppliers, governments, and so on. The dude has no technical knowledge of his own, he just lies and lies about what actually happens, and takes credit for accomplishments that aren't his. When you hear someone who is supposedly smart talk about a dumb person like he is smart, it raises questions on whether that person that is doing the talking is actually smart. | | |
| ▲ | dmarcos 23 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | I have the opposite impression. I have consumed tons of hours of interviews with Elon and he comes off as more technically sound and speaks more substance than any other large org CEO I can think of. Karpathy worked directly under him. I haven’t worked for Elon but know people that did and experience is similar. What makes you think you are right? edit: typo | |
| ▲ | _doctor_love 22 minutes ago | parent | prev [-] | | I think that's being unfair and I really don't like Elon Musk. But I don't think it's fair to say Elon is stupid / a bad engineer. When John Carmack speaks well of his talent, I take that seriously. |
