That was Karpathy's decision [1] and, yes, I also have that perception of him.

I know this is not going to be well received because he's one of HN's pet prodigies but, objectively, it was him.

From the article: While Elon Musk is best known for making statements on this, Karpathy was his go-to guy on backing up that reasoning.

I read that as Musk wanted this done and asked Karpathy to find a way.

Seems to me that the guy is pretty convinced, but sure your mind belongs to you and you can make it whatever you want, maybe Musk was behind with a gun, who knows.
