Yeah I suspect Karpathy is too generous. I’m finding a lot of devs with access to the best models are not effective with them.
replySo I think there is are growing gaps even within the described groups.
That group does not exist. It's all hype, zero substance.
replyThis just goes to further show the divide.
replyYou’re trying to tell me it’s all hype when I have (depending on the day) a top 50 Productivity app in the iOS App Store for which I’ve written and read exactly one line of code (the version number).
It is comical that you think a good bar for quality is the fucking appstore.
replyWhat even is this comment. Like, oh wow, an iOS app, AI hype=real.
???
Oh no, I get money deposited into my bank account every month for something I didn’t write and barely maintain. How will I ever gain value from AI?
replyUhm, the set of apps that are successful and the set of apps that are crap are not exactly disjoint...
replyGood for you that you're gaining value, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you're providing value to others
If only there were some kind of rating or review system.
replyWell done.
replyIt's incredible to see AI denialists still active in late 2026.
It's insane how confidently you can make a claim like this in a forum where thousands (tens of thousands?) of people are using these tools daily to build useful software for themselves and others.
replyHow can you possibly believe it's all hype? Is everyone just lying? Are we all paying $200 per month because... why?
I don't think AI is all hype at all. Opus 5.5 is really impressive. This twitter (x? whatever) post is infuriatingly hypey and just written for virality, though
