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

and I want humans to be much, much better in this future.

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

And so I guess, to me, this is kind of like through education that you can actually achieve this.

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

Oh, yeah.

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

So Eureka is trying to build, I think maybe the easiest way I can describe it is we're trying to build the Starfleet Academy.

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

I don't know if you've watched Star Trek.

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

I haven't, but yeah.

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

Okay, Starfleet Academy is this elite institution for frontier technology, building spaceships and graduating cadets to be the pilots of these spaceships and whatnot.

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

So I just imagine an elite institution for technical knowledge and basically a kind of school that's very up-to-date and very like a premier institution.

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

Yeah.

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

With respect to Eureka, I think one thing that is very fascinating to me about education is I do think education will pretty fundamentally change with AIs on the side.

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

And I think it has to be rewired and changed to some extent.

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

I still think that we're pretty early.

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

I think there's going to be a lot of people who are going to try to do the obvious things, which is like, oh, have an LLM and ask it questions and do all the basic things that you would do via prompting right now.

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

I think it's helpful, but it still feels to me a bit like slop.

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

I'd like to do it properly, and I think the capability is not there for what I would want.

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

What I'd want is like an actual tutor experience.

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

Maybe a prominent example in my mind is I was recently learning Korean, so language learning.

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

And I went through a phase where I was learning Korean by myself on the internet.

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

I went through a phase where I was actually part of a small class in Korea, taking Korean with a bunch of other people, which was really funny.

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

But we had a teacher and like 10 people or so taking Korean.
