Comparing package size to "sore sourcecode" size is kind of misleading. The pytorch codebase by itself isn't 1 GB.

Also, in most usecases, I'd rather have pytorch's versatility, than be able to brag about <1000 lines.

Ok, that doesn't sound like much. I don't understand why I should abandon standard and verified tools for this.

On top of that the whole "George Hotz Twitter internship" thing was just embarassing. I trust him to jailbreak playstations, but that's the end of it.

I wouldn't trust Yudkowski to build an MLP classifier from scratch. Hell, I wouldn't trust him solving the Titanic task on Kaggle with SciKit learn.

He's a captivating speaker, but similar to some other popular cultural-scientific faces (e.g. Jordan Peterson) I feel like he is 100% form, 0% substance (or the substance that is valuable, is not original, but common knowledge repackaged).

If you don't tune in to people without a Bachelor's degree giving health advice, I don't know why you should care of Yudkowski's view of AI.
