Resolution Criteria

The market resolves positively if Karpathy makes a clear statement of support in a tweet before end of the month. The statement must be unambiguous in its support.

Background

Sam was fired. Greg resigned. Many have spoken in support such as Brian. I wonder what Karpathy thinks. The reason I care is because I trust Karpathy more than Sam or Greg. I also believe that all four of them were actually vital to the creation of OpenAI.

Resolving this Market

I created this question on the 18th of November while wondering what Karpathy thinks of the OpenAI situation. My assumption was that due to the nature of his work, Karpathy might be working closely with Ilya at OpenAI and will therefore have a better understanding of his view than most (assuming Ilya played a role in the attempt to oust Sam out of OpenAI). I tweeted the following on the 19th:

Then someone replied to me with the following:

I checked Karpathy's likes tab and found the following tweets:

Then Karpathy responded to my tweet saying:

I believe this question should resolve as 'Yes'. Karpathy's statement, "I like and respect Sam," is a clear support of Sam. Additionally, his negative comments about the board reinforce this support. This statement alone suffices for a positive resolution. Moreover, considering his other actions, like his likes and retweets, further solidifies this viewpoint. Also, I read the comments and I want to remind everyone that the question says "Will Karpathy publicly express support for Sam and/or Greg on Twitter?". Karpathy clearly expressed support for Sam Twitter.
