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

And I think I want us to be properly calibrated.

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

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

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

And I kind of like...

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

I care about what happens to humans.

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

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

Dwarkesh Podcast
Andrej Karpathy β€” 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 β€” 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.

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

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

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

Oh, yeah.

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

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

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

I haven't, but yeah.
