The exciting thing about Karpathy’s videos is that there is just a handful of them and the educational ones are at least an hour long. This is not ‘insta’ material, and it’s hard work watching them. The post I mention is precisely about this— ‘shortification’ of learning, as he calls it. He writes, “There are a lot of videos on YouTube, TikTok, etc., that give the appearance of education, but if you look closely, they are really just entertainment. This is very convenient for everyone involved: the people watching enjoy thinking they are learning (but actually, they are just having fun). The people creating this content also enjoy it because fun has a much larger audience, fame and revenue… Learning is not supposed to be fun… the primary feeling should be that of effort. It should look a lot less like that ‘10-minute full body’ workout from your local digital media creator and a lot more like a serious session at the gym. You want the mental equivalent of sweating. Allocate a four-hour window. Don’t just read, take notes, re-read, rephrase, process, manipulate, learn.” Every word he writes is 100% true for those trying to learn about investing online.
