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

Is that right?

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

I think it's roughly right.

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

This is miraculous technology that didn't exist.

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

I think there's going to be a huge amount of demand as we see the demand in ChashiPT already and so on.

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

So yeah, I don't actually know that there's overbuilding, but I guess I'm just reacting to some of the very fast timelines that people continue to say incorrectly.

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

And I've heard many, many times over the course of my 15 years in AI where very reputable people keep getting this wrong all the time.

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

And I think I want us to be properly calibrated.

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

And I think some of this also, it does have like geopolitical ramifications and things like that when, like some of these questions.

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

And I think I don't want people to make mistakes on that sphere of things.

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

So I do want us to be grounded in reality of what technology is and isn't.

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

I guess maybe, like, the way I would put it is...

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

I feel some amount of like determinism around the things that AI labs are doing.

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

And I feel like I could help out there, but I don't know that I would like uniquely... I don't know that I would like uniquely improve it.

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

But I think like my personal big fear is that a lot of this stuff happens on the side of humanity and that humanity gets disempowered by it.

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

And I kind of like...

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

I care not just about all the Dyson spheres that we're going to build and that AI is going to build in a fully autonomous way.

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

I care about what happens to humans.

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

And I want humans to be well off in this future.

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

And I feel like that's where I can a lot more uniquely add value than like an incremental improvement in the frontier lab.

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

And so I guess I'm most afraid of something maybe like depicted in movies like WALL-E or Idiocracy or something like that, where humanity is sort of on the side of this stuff.
