Andrej Karpathy. A follow-up where Karpathy actually sits in front of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity and uses them like a power user. Watch this after the article and his "Intro" — you'll see the mental model put into practice in real time, including the small choices (which model, which mode, when to paste vs upload) that separate frustrated beginners from people who get useful answers on the first try.
