Karpathy offered his mental model of today's AI discourse: 99%+ of people now paying attention were onboarded to AI in under a year, which is deeply confusing to the 'AI dinosaurs' (anyone in the field pre-2026, or even pre-2012). AI commentator omarsar0 replied supporting him to keep sharing experiments despite the hateful replies.
