If the transcript is accurate, Karpathy does not actually ever, in this interview, say that AGI is a decade away, or make any concrete claims about how far away AGI is. Patel's title is misleading.

Hmm good point. I skimmed the transcript looking for an accurate, representative quote that we could use in the title above. I couldn't exactly find one (within HN's 80 char limit), so I cobbled together "It will take a decade to get agents to work", which is at least closer to what Karpathy actually said.

If anyone can suggest a more accurate and representative title, we can change it again.

Edit: I thought of using "For now, autocomplete is my sweet spot", which has the advantage of being an exact quote; but it's probably not clear enough.

Edit 2: I changed it to "It will take a decade to work through the issues with agents" because that's closer to the transcript.

Anybody have a better idea? Help the cause of accuracy out here!

He says re agents:

>They don't have enough intelligence, they're not multimodal enough, they can't do computer use and all this stuff. They don't do a lot of the things you've alluded to earlier. They don't have continual learning. You can't just tell them something and they'll remember it. They're cognitively lacking and it's just not working.

>It will take about a decade to work through all of those issues. (2:20)

Did the same with Sutton (LLMs are a dead end) when Sutton never said this in the conversation.

There's a lot of salt here
