Background & analysis
According to a cnBeta report on November 2, 2026, Andrej Karpathy, former Tesla AI director and a co-founding member of OpenAI, released a weekend project called HackerTube. Dissatisfied with YouTube's recommendation algorithm, he used Anthropic's Claude Code to scan 43 million comments from the tech community Hacker News over the past 20 years, filtering out 6,454 videos that had been repeatedly recommended by users, and built a brand-new video recommendation website. The entire process took roughly 2 hours. HackerTube has since been published publicly as one of his personal projects, and no further developments have been reported yet.
