#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

Yeah, exactly.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

I think the way we are programming these computers now, like GPTs, is converging to how you program humans.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

I mean, how do I program humans via prompt?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

I go to people and I prompt them to do things.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

I prompt them from information.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

And so natural language prompt is how we program humans, and we're starting to program computers directly in that interface.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

It's pretty remarkable, honestly.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

Yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

So I had a blog post on Software 2.0, I think several years ago now.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

And the reason I wrote that post is because I kind of saw something remarkable happening in

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

software development and how a lot of code was being transitioned to be written not in sort of like C++ and so on, but it's written in the weights of a neural net.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

Basically just saying that neural nets are taking over software, the realm of software, and taking more and more tasks.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

And at the time, I think not many people understood this deeply enough, that this is a big deal, this is a big transition.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

Neural networks were seen as one of multiple classification algorithms you might use for your dataset problem on Kaggle.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

Like,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

This is not that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

This is a change in how we program computers.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

And I saw neural nets as, this is going to take over.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

The way we program computers is going to change.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 – Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

It's not going to be people writing software in C++ or something like that and directly programming the software.
