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

It's going to fail at some other things.

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

It's going to be gradually put into society and basically end up with the same pattern, is my prediction.

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

Because this assumption of suddenly having a completely intelligent, fully flexible, fully general human in a box and we can dispense it at arbitrary problems in society, I don't think that we will have this

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

like discrete change.

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

And so I think we'll arrive at the same kind of gradual diffusion of this across the industry.

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

So I think I understand, but I still think that you're presupposing some discrete jump, some unlock that we're waiting to claim.

Dwarkesh Podcast

And suddenly we're going to have geniuses in data centers.

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

And I still think you're presupposing some discrete jump that I think has basically no historical precedent that I can't find in any of the statistics and that I think probably won't happen.

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

I'm a little bit suspicious.

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

I would have to look at it.

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

I'm a little bit suspicious, and I would have to take a look.

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

For example, maybe some of the logs are not very good from before the Industrial Revolution or something like that.

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

So I'm a little bit suspicious of it, but yeah, maybe you're right.

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

I don't have strong opinions.

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

Maybe you're saying that this was a singular event that was extremely magical, and you're saying that maybe there's going to be another event that's going to be just like that, extremely magical, it will break paradigm, and so on.

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

There's still some overhang that's being unlocked.

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

Like maybe there's a new energy source.

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

There's some unlock, in this case, some kind of a cognitive capacity.

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

And there's an overhang of cognitive work to do.

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

That's right.
