Karpathy 的这番话解释了为什么顶尖 AI 研究者选择留在前沿实验室——做 AI 研究或关注行业动态的人，看完会对人才流动和前沿价值有更深理解。
Andrej Karpathy 在一个月前的播客中讨论了他可能加入大型 AI 实验室的原因。他认为，在实验室前沿工作能保持对系统底层运作的准确判断，而离开前沿会导致判断力漂移。他担心如果不在前沿实验室，就无法真正理解这些大型系统的开发和运作。他表示，如果前沿实验室愿意接纳他，让他参与真正有价值的工作，那将是一个很好的安排。

Andrej Karpathy had already talked about this possibility 1 month back, that he might join one of the big AI labs and why he may do so.
"They (the AI labs) are kind of like at the edge of capability of what's possible. And they are working on what's coming down the line. And I think if you're outside of that frontier lab, your judgment fundamentally will start to drift because you're not part of what's coming down the line. And so I feel like my judgment will inevitably start to drift as well.
And I won't actually have an understanding of how these systems actually work under the hood. It's a big system. I won't have a good understanding of how to develop and etc. And so I do think that in that sense, I agree and something I'm nervous about. I think it's worth basically being in touch with what's actually happening and actually being in the frontier lab.
And if some of the frontier labs would have me come for some amount of time and do really good work for them, then I think that's maybe a good setup"
