Why needed

The GPT-4/o1 research revealed how capability jumps shifted his views, but it's unclear whether Karpathy separates practical near-term harms (misuse, misalignment in deployment) from existential or superintelligence-level risks. His public framing — often pragmatic and engineering-focused — may place him differently from safety-first researchers like Ilya Sutskever. Clarifying this would complete the picture of his safety worldview.
