On: Karpathy’s Pelican

[recursive]

If your school mascot is a pelican and you need to make a flyer for the upcoming bike safety event, then this precise thing becomes useful. Most things that are useful in the real world seem not useful out of context.

[meander_water → recursive]

Sure, but then you would just use an image generation or multimodal model to generate that image. I don't think you'd want a weird looking svg.

[recursive → meander_water]

Exactly. I would want a good looking svg. That's the evaluation.

[amelius → recursive]

Yeah, pelican on a bicycle tells you how well the model can extrapolate outside of existing data, rather than just interpolate between it.
