Ask HN: Why Is Phil Wang / Lucidrains Off GitHub?

3 points by vessenes 19 hours ago · 4 comments · 1 min read


I was thinking about hooking up Karpathy’s autoresearch tool to Lucidrain’s repositories as a way to let someone smart pick what’s interesting and new in ML research, and I learned that he is off github, says his account was canceled and is ‘pretty sure there’s something wrong at github.’

Any backstory / information on this?

AI probably flagged it or someone made a bogus request. I have seen this happen numerous times, it takes folks having to fight it to get their accounts back. If the person has no strength or interest in fighting it as in this case, then there it goes.
