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

And so, for example, today, a lot of people are trying to upskill in AI specifically.

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

So I think it's a really good course to teach in this respect.

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

And yeah, I think the motivation-wise, before AGI, motivation is very simple to solve because people want to make money.

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

And this is how you make money in the industry today.

Andrej Karpathy β€” AGI is still a decade away

I think post-AGI is a lot more interesting, possibly, because, yeah, if everything is automated and there's nothing to do for anyone, why would anyone go to a school, et cetera?

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

So I think, I guess, like, I often say that pre-AGI education is useful.

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

Post-AGI education is fun.

Andrej Karpathy β€” AGI is still a decade away

And in a similar way, as people, for example, people go to gym today, but we don't need their physical strength to manipulate heavy objects because we have machines that do that.

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

They still go to gym.

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

Why do they go to gym?

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

Well, because it's fun, it's healthy, and you look hot when you have a six-pack.

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

I don't know.

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

I guess like...

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

So I guess what I'm saying is it's attractive for people to do that in a certain like very deep psychological evolutionary sense for humanity.

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

And so I kind of think that education will kind of play out in the same way.

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

Like you'll go to school, like you go to gym.

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

And I think that right now, I think not that many people learn because learning is hard.

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

You bounce from material.

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

And some people overcome that barrier, but for most people, it's hard.

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

But I do think that it's a technical problem to solve.
