Dev laments: his 2024 autoresearch kernels got 12 likes until Karpathy named it
ctjlewis · x · 2026-09-25
Developer ctjlewis vents that he wrote about what's now called "autoresearch" in 2024 and published kernels for a SOTA KernelBench result, getting only 12 likes — while now everyone waits for Karpathy to coin a catchy name (vibe coding, autoresearch) before paying attention. In the thread, ZyMazza admits his video caption failed: he wanted to highlight that automatic goal loops can write CUDA kernels so cheaply with so little effort, but viewers didn't care.
