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

Yeah, I think that makes sense.

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

I mean, I would say, yeah, I'm not saying that anything text is trivial, right?

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

I do think that code is like, it's pretty structured.

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

Text is maybe a lot more flowery and there's a lot more like entropy in text, I would say.

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

I don't know how else to put it.

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

And also, I mean, code is hard.

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

And so people sort of feel quite empowered by LLMs, even from like simple kind of knowledge.

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

I basically, I don't actually know that I have a very good answer.

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

I mean, obviously like text makes it much, much easier maybe is maybe why I put it, but it doesn't mean that all text is trivial.

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

I guess I see it as like a progression of automation in society, right?

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

And again, like extrapolating the trend of computing.

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

I just feel like there will be a gradual automation of a lot of things, and superintelligence will be sort of like the extrapolation of that.

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

So I do think we expect more and more autonomous entities over time that are doing a lot of the digital work, and then eventually even the physical work, probably some amount of time later.

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

But basically, I see it as just automation.

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

Well, but some of the things that people do is invent new things, which I would just put into the automation, if that makes sense.

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

I mean, it is fundamentally automation, but I mean, it will be like extremely foreign.

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

I do think it will look really strange because like you mentioned, we can run all of this on a computer cluster, et cetera, and much faster and all this thing.

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

Yeah.

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

I mean, maybe some of the scenarios, for example, that I start to get, like, nervous about with respect to when the world looks like that is this kind of, like, gradual loss of control and understanding of what's happening.

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

And I think that's actually the most likely outcome, probably, is that there will be a gradual loss of understanding of... And we'll gradually layer all this stuff everywhere, and there'll be fewer and fewer people who understand it, and that there will be a sort of this, like, scenario of a gradual loss of control and understanding of what's happening.
