Very clearly and thoughtfully explained, thanks @karpathy
Karpathy didn't make a course.
He made THE course.
3 hours. Free.
Tokenization. Attention. Hallucinations. Tool use. RLHF. DeepSeek. AlphaGo.
Every behavior you've ever wondered about in an LLM - where it comes from, why it exists, how it was engineered.
The gap between engineers who understand this and engineers who don't isn't technical depth.
It's the ability to conceive of entirely different things.

Jensen Huang's story of the early years of Nvidia.
The major obstacles and misses his team navigated before they went public; basically teaches that hard work with an element of luck (good will) goes a long way. Staying grounded in success.

Try to have a positive net contribution to society (try to be useful) . . . it is hard but worth it.
Common vision
- leadership's role.
- Quality talents' expectation of leaders
Steve Jobs on the most important job of a CEO
“The greatest people are self-managing. They don’t need to be managed. Once they know what to do, they’ll go figure out how to do it… What they need is a common vision, and that’s what leadership is. Leadership is having a vision, being able to articulate that so the people around you can understand it, and getting consensus on a common vision.”
Steve continues:
“We wanted people who were insanely great at what they did… and the neatest thing that happens when you get a core group ten great people is that it becomes self-policing as to who they let into that group. So I consider the most important job of someone like myself is recruiting.”
Good thinking. . . Identifying what would be constant (need/goal) and focusing on improving that is a good approach.
Leadership conversation 👌🏾~ John Maxwell, Patrick Lencioni and Dave Ramsey.
