Today, I'm speaking with Andrei Karpathy.
Andrei, why do you say that this will be the decade of agents and not the year of agents?
Interesting.
So, as a professional podcaster and a…
A viewer of AI from afar.
It's easy to identify for me, like, oh, here's what's lacking.
Continual learning is lacking or multimodality is lacking.
But I don't really have a good way of trying to put a timeline on it.
Like, if somebody's like, how long will continual learning take?
There's no like prior I have about like, this is a project that should take five years, 10 years, 50 years.
Why a decade?
Why not one year?
Why not 50 years?
This is actually quite interesting.
I want to hear not only the history, but what people in the room felt was about to happen at various different levels.
breakthrough moments, what were the ways in which their feelings were either overly pessimistic or overly optimistic?
Should we just go through each of them one by one?
Interesting.
Yeah, I guess if I were to steel man the sort of sudden perspective would be that humans actually can just take on everything at once, right?
