Making AI accessible with Andrej Karpathy and Stephanie Zhan

章节 1：重聚与回溯：OpenAI的早期岁月

📝 本节摘要：

在本节中，红杉资本的Stephanie Zhan隆重介绍了Andrej Karpathy。对话以一种独特的怀旧氛围开场——他们惊讶地发现，访谈现场正位于OpenAI最初的办公室旁边。Andrej回忆起创业初期楼下“巧克力工厂”飘来的香味，以及Jensen Huang（黄仁勋）亲自向OpenAI交付第一台NVIDIA DGX-1超级计算机的历史性时刻。Stephanie随后回顾了Andrej从斯坦福到OpenAI、再到Tesla最后回归OpenAI的传奇职业生涯，并戏称他现在终于享受到了“失业”后的终极自由。

[原文] [Stephanie Zhan]: I'm filed to introduce our next and final speaker Andre karpathy I think karpathy probably needs no introduction most of us have probably watched his YouTube videos at length uh but he's a um he's renowned for his research in deep learning he designed the first deep learning class at Stamford was part of the founding team at open AI led the computer vision team at Tesla and is now a mystery man again now that he has just left open AI so we're very lucky to have you here

[译文] [Stephanie Zhan]: 我非常激动地介绍我们下一位也是最后一位演讲嘉宾，Andrej Karpathy。我想Karpathy大概不需要多作介绍了，我们大多数人可能都长时间观看过他的YouTube视频。但他……他在深度学习研究领域享有盛誉，他在斯坦福（Stanford）设计了第一门深度学习课程，是OpenAI的创始团队成员，曾领导Tesla的计算机视觉团队，而现在随着他刚刚离开OpenAI，他又再次成为了一位“神秘人”。所以我们非常幸运能邀请你来到这里。

[原文] [Stephanie Zhan]: here than Andre you've been such a dream speaker and so we're excited to have you and Stephanie close out the day thank you Andre's first reaction as we walked up here was oh my God to his picture it's like a very intimidating I don't know what year was taken but he's he's impressed um okay amazing um Andre thank you so much for joining us today and welcome back

[译文] [Stephanie Zhan]: Andre，你一直是我们梦寐以求的演讲嘉宾，所以我们很兴奋能由你和我（Stephanie）来为今天做结。谢谢。Andrej走上台时的第一反应是对着他的照片惊呼“天哪”，那张照片看起来非常令人敬畏，我不知道是哪一年拍的，但他显然被震住了。好的，太棒了。Andre，非常感谢你今天加入我们，欢迎回来。

[原文] [Andrej Karpathy]: yeah thank you um fun

[译文] [Andrej Karpathy]: 是的，谢谢，很有趣。

[原文] [Stephanie Zhan]: fact that most people don't actually know how many how many folks here know where open ai's original office was that's amazing um Nick I'm gonna guess right here right here right here on the opposite side of our uh San Francisco office where actually many of you guys were just in huddles so this is fun for us because it brings us back to Our Roots back when I first started at seoa and when Andre first uh started co-founding open aai

[译文] [Stephanie Zhan]: 有个事实大多数人实际上并不知道。在座有多少人知道OpenAI最初的办公室在哪里？太棒了。Nick，我猜就在这儿，就在这儿，就在这儿，就在我们旧金山办公室的对面，实际上你们很多人刚才就在那里开小组会。这对我们来说很有趣，因为它把我们带回了根源，带回了我刚开始在红杉（Sequoia）工作以及Andre刚开始联合创立OpenAI的时候。

[原文] [Stephanie Zhan]: um Andre in addition to living out the Willy Wonka working a top a chocolate factory dream uh what were some of your favorite moments working from here

[译文] [Stephanie Zhan]: 嗯，Andre，除了实现了那种在巧克力工厂顶上工作的“威利·旺卡（Willy Wonka）”式的梦想之外，你在这里工作时最喜欢的时刻有哪些？

[原文] [Andrej Karpathy]: yes opening I was right there um and this was the first office after I guess Greg's apartment which maybe doesn't count uh and so yeah we spent maybe two years here and the Chocolate Factory was just downstairs so it always smelled really nice uh and uh yeah I guess the team was you know 10 20 plus

[译文] [Andrej Karpathy]: 是的，OpenAI（当时的办公室）就在那边。我想这是继Greg公寓之后的第一个办公室——公寓也许不算数。所以是的，我们在这里度过了大概两年，巧克力工厂就在楼下，所以闻起来总是很香。而且，我想当时的团队大概有10到20多人。

[原文] [Andrej Karpathy]: and uh yeah we had a few very fun episodes here one of them was eluded to by um by Jensen at GTC that happened just yesterday or two days ago so Jensen was describing how he brought the DG the first dgx and how he delivered it to open AI so that happened right there uh so that's where we all signed it it's in the room over there

[译文] [Andrej Karpathy]: 我们在这里经历了一些非常有趣的插曲。其中一个Jensen（黄仁勋）在GTC大会上刚刚提到过，就在昨天还是前两天。Jensen描述了他如何带来第一台DGX，以及如何将其交付给OpenAI，这事就发生在那里。那是我们所有人签名的地方，它就在那边的房间里。

[原文] [Stephanie Zhan]: um so Andre needs no introduction but I wanted to give a little bit of backstory on some of his journey to date um as Sonia had introduced he was trained by Jeff Hinton and then uh Fay um you know his first claim to fame was his deep learning course at Stanford um he co-founded open AI back in 2015 and 2017 he was poached by Elon

[译文] [Stephanie Zhan]: 嗯，虽然Andre不需要介绍，但我想提供一些关于他迄今为止旅程的背景故事。正如Sonia介绍的那样，他师从Jeff Hinton，然后是Fay（李飞飞）。你知道，他的成名作是在斯坦福开设的深度学习课程。他在2015年联合创立了OpenAI，然后在2017年被Elon（马斯克）挖走了。

[原文] [Stephanie Zhan]: I remember this very very clearly for folks who don't under who don't remember the context then Elon had just transitioned through six different autopilot leaders each of whom lasted six months each and I remember when Andre took this job I thought congratulations and good luck um not too long after that uh you know he went back to open aai and has been there for the last year now unlike like all the rest of us today he is Basking in the ultimate Glory of freedom in all time and responsibility

[译文] [Stephanie Zhan]: 我对此记忆犹新。对于那些不了解或不记得当时背景的人来说，Elon当时刚刚换了六位不同的Autopilot（自动驾驶）负责人，每位都只干了六个月。我记得当Andre接下这份工作时，我心里想的是“恭喜，祝你好运”。没过多久，你知道他又回到了OpenAI，并在那里度过了过去的一年。现在，与我们在座的所有人不同，他正沐浴在完全的时间和责任自由的终极荣耀之中。

[原文] [Stephanie Zhan]: um and so we're really excited to to see what you have to share today a few things that I appreciate the most from Andre are that he is an incredible fascinating futurist thinker um he is a Relentless Optimist and he's a very practical Builder and so I think he'll share some of his insights around that today to kick things off

[译文] [Stephanie Zhan]: 所以我们真的很期待看到你今天会分享什么。我最欣赏Andre的几点是：他是一位极其迷人的未来主义思想家，他是一位不懈的乐观主义者，同时也是一位非常务实的建设者。所以我认为他今天会围绕这些方面分享一些见解，以此来开启我们的对话。
