Karpathy, which is IMHO a serious and balanced person, lamented that it looks too censored (see recent tweets). Elon Musk is (for me) a very scary person, and it is important to evaluate AI safety (but I believe that the safety that matters in AI is of a different kind), yet to listen to Gary Marcus does not make any sense: it's just an extremely biased person that is riding the anti AI wave.

Anyone with an opinion can be labelled biased. Also I’m not clear what you mean by Marcus “riding the anti AI wave” but infer that you mean it negatively. He has been writing informed criticism for several years and about cognitive psychology for considerably longer.

Yes that's certainly true. I was a bit hesitant to post a link from Gary Marcus. But I was mostly posting it for the Elon tweet. I assume the tweet is not fake. So you can ignore about Garys opinion here and just take Elons tweet as it is.

People have tested this question online and gotten very balanced answers so I assume it's some special mode Elon was on

We don't see the full conversation, for all we know he prompted the model to say these things in a previous message that isn't on the screenshot.

Also, it's 2025, do people still believe random accusations based on a parish screenshot of a chat app (or what looks like it, but could've trivially been fabricated with e.g. Inspector in the browser dev tools)?

Karpathy sit silently for years by the side of Musk while he made wild claims about FSD...Please....
