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

And they will say stuff that will shock you because it's kind of, you can see where they're coming from, but it's just not the thing people say.

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

Yeah.

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

And because they're not yet collapsed.

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

But we're collapsed, we end up revisiting the same thoughts, we end up saying more and more of the same stuff, and the learning rates go down, and the collapse continues to get worse, and then everything deteriorates.

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

It's an interesting idea.

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

I mean, I do think that...

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

When you're generating things in your head and then you're attending to it, you're kind of like training on your own samples.

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

You're training on your synthetic data.

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

And if you do it for too long, you go off rails and you collapse way too much.

Dwarkesh Podcast

So you always have to like seek entropy in your life.

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

So talking to other people is a great source of entropy and things like that.

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

So maybe the brain has also built some internal mechanisms for increasing the amount of entropy in that process.

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

But yeah, maybe that's an interesting idea.

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

I think there's something very interesting about that.

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

Yeah, 100%.

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

I do think that humans actually, they do kind of like have a lot more of an element compared to LLMs of like seeing the forest for the trees.

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

And we're not actually that good at memorization, which is actually a feature.

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

Because we're not that good at memorization, we actually are kind of like forced to...

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

to find the patterns in a marginal sense.

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

I think LLNs, in comparison, are extremely good at memorization.
