Karpathy will come back? Or gone for good?

[EVNow]

Sabbatical? Yes. But Karpathy wouldn't leave unless he thought Tesla had lost it's position as the leader in autonomous/AI driving, IMO. And seeing that this sentiment lines up with what I believe the ultimate end result of Tesla FSD will be, I am inclined to believe Karpathy won't be coming back.

Prove me wrong, Andrej - prove me wrong!

And you know that how ?

When people start equating their speculation to fact, they have a hidden agenda.

Dude, what in any of that post was stated as fact? Relax, Francis!

Usually we have to wait years for anyone to be proven wrong here.

You'll be proven wrong in 4 months.

I won't be happy that I was wrong, but I will be very happy that Karpathy is back.

Read your post again, “dude”.

*as he exited the facility he says under his breath* - “AMF”!

Tesla is far ahead of the competition in this area. In this space Tesla is the place where the most innovation is happening IMO. My speculation would be that it is burnout or that he no longer agrees with the approach for achieving the end goal. It sounds like he will be back so maybe he has some personal things going on.

It could also be that Tesla is delaying until they can figure out how to announce or replace him. In the end there have been high profile departures before and things turned out fine. I’m not overly worried about this sabbatical.

No organization would or should put all their eggs in one basket. They always have contingency plans. At worst this departure would be a setback which would require time for them to readjust.

What's Karpathy up to?

Not surprising that he likes to keep up with exciting AI developments as covered by Yannic Kilcher, so I suppose the question is if Tesla provides that for him.

AMF!

The poll was wrong.

 

[2101Guy]

Elon stated Andrew Karpathy is on “sabbatical” leave. Then again, Elon also stated Robotaxi by 2020.

The fact that so many dummies ACTUALLY BELIEVED it was a “sabbatical”

You also prolly believed Elon actually intended to buy twitter too

He was proven right in less than 4.

I dusted myself off, and I quickly turned around and made another bet on something we'll see the results of in under 4 months.

This time on 10.13 failing to pass Chucks unprotected left with a 95% or greater success rate.

Humans are unpredictable, but FSD Beta is predictably unpredictable. So I like my odds this time, but I really did think the Karp was coming back. Tesla made him a god of sorts.

He'll be back when it is time to have fun with hardware 4. Hardware 3 is maxed out, so not much fun with that.

LOL. Insightful

Karpathy is the Designated Survivor if something were to happen to Elon.

Karpathy bailed in time.
It is impressive how far the TSLA FSD ponzi can has been kicked
