I wonder if he had to answer a few Leetcode / Codility problems first.

The warm up rounds to filter out the fluffy includes asking what is a Matrix, do this calculation, what is a LLM. 2nd round include stuff like explain the binary search algorithm, write a double linked list in C, and a take home project.

You forgot to add ghosting for a month and then asking for another round of interview.

Would have been great to hear that his inability to do the interview memorization bullshit as a senior was why he didn't get hired somewhere like OpenAI. lol.

Except the good companies probably dont make you do silly stupid outdated interview practices without the tools you can actually use on the job today, right?

I'm not sure what's your point since he is the co-founder of OpenAI

it was a brash example without thinking. I don't know his background that well, so my intent was just to say he would struggle with a major frontier company or startup to pass the basic technical interview theater of technical memorization that others are expected to do. And it was also a way to say he would get an exception, as unfair as it may be. And as I said it would be funny that this is true.

Karpathy is a co-founder of OpenAI.

Sam Altman is a co-founder of OpenAI.

Do you think he could pass an entry level interview for a frontier lab?

He is good at fleecing the plebs which MUCH MORE important in modern day America. From top to the bottom, it's a scam aaaaaall the way down.

Although, to be fair, Amodei has kind of overtaken Altman in the art of being the best hype man/scammer. If they won't buy in, hell, promise to double their lifespan.

For sales and marketing department, yes, he would be leading it very quickly. Very few people are as good at lyi.. I means sales as him.

lmfao leetcode
