The newsletter identifies him only as ‘OpenAI’s Noam Brown’ when it records his response to Karpathy joining Anthropic; his own post says he would have loved for Karpathy to rejoin OpenAI. The role is what gives the remark its weight: a researcher inside the rival lab describing the frontier labs as one effort.
