Andrej Karpathy โ€” AGI is still a decade away

I can go in and I can clean it up, but it's not that useful.

I also feel like it's kind of annoying to have to, like, type out what I want in English because it's just too much typing.

Like, if I just navigate to the part of the code that I want and I go where I know the code has to appear and I start typing out the first three letters, autocomplete gets it and just gives you the code.

And so I think it's... This is a very high-information bandwidth to specify what you want.

If you point to the code where you want it and you type out the first few pieces, and the model will complete it.

So I guess what I mean is...

I think these models are good in certain parts of the stack.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Andrej Karpathy โ€” AGI is still a decade away

I actually use the models a little bit in... There are two examples where I actually use the models that I think are illustrative.

Dwarkesh Podcast

One was when I generated the report.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Andrej Karpathy โ€” AGI is still a decade away

That's actually more boilerplate-y.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Andrej Karpathy โ€” AGI is still a decade away

So I actually bytecoded partially some of that stuff.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Andrej Karpathy โ€” AGI is still a decade away

That was fine.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Andrej Karpathy โ€” AGI is still a decade away

Because it's not like mission-critical stuff and it works fine.

And then the other part is when I was rewriting the tokenizer in Rust...

Dwarkesh Podcast
Andrej Karpathy โ€” AGI is still a decade away

I'm actually not as good at Rust because I'm fairly new to Rust.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Andrej Karpathy โ€” AGI is still a decade away

So I was doing, there's a bit of vibe coding going on when I was writing some of the Rust code.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Andrej Karpathy โ€” AGI is still a decade away

But I had Python implementation that I fully understand and I'm just making sure I'm making a more efficient version of it and I have tests.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Andrej Karpathy โ€” AGI is still a decade away

So I feel safer doing that stuff.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Andrej Karpathy โ€” AGI is still a decade away

And so basically they lower or like they increase accessibility to languages or paradigms that you might not be as familiar with.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Andrej Karpathy โ€” AGI is still a decade away

So I think they're very helpful there as well.
