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

If you think transportation is a large market, try physical labor.

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

It's insane.

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

Yep.

And the reason that happened very quickly is, as you alluded to, there's a ton of copy-paste from what's happening on the autopilot.

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

A lot.

The amount of expertise that came out of the woodworks at Tesla for building the human robot was incredible to see.

Basically, Elon said at one point, we're doing this.

And then next day, basically, all these CAD models started to appear.

And people talking about the supply chain and manufacturing.

And people showed up with screwdrivers and everything the other day and started to put together the body.

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

And I was like, whoa.

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

All these people exist at Tesla.

And fundamentally, building a car is actually not that different from building a robot.

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

And that is true, not just for the hardware pieces.

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

And also, let's not forget hardware, not just for a demo, but...

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

manufacturing of that hardware at scale.

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

It's like a whole different thing.

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

It thinks it's a car.
