The parent comment makes no reference to or comment on the author of the README.
It just says "the README sucks." Which, I'm inclined to agree, it does.
LLM-generated text has no place in prose -- it yields a negative investment balance between the author and aggregate readers.
Looking at his attempts at jailbreaking some models, I'm not sure he even remotely understands what he's doing, e.g. he tries to counter non-existent refusal training in Gemini [0] while doing nothing against the external guardrails which actually protect the model. Looks like a pompous e-celeb, all performance with no substance.

If this qualifies as "amazing" in 2026 then Karpathy and Gerganov must be halfway to godhood by now.
Amazing as in his stuff actually works?
I just hear him promoting OBLITERATUS all day long and trying to get models to say naughty things
I don't know. I scrolled through his recent Tweets and he's sharing things like this $900 snake oil device that "finds nearby microphones" and "sends out AI-generated cancellation signals" to make them unable to record your voice : https://x.com/aidaxbaradari/status/2028864606568067491
Try to think for a moment about how a device would "find nearby microphones" or how it would use an AI-generated signal to cancel out your voice at the microphone. This should be setting of BS alarms for anyone.
It seems the Twitter AI edgey poster guy is getting meta-trolled by another company selling fake AI devices
