Andrej Karpathy — AGI is still a decade away
The Andrej Karpathy episode.
During this interview, Andrej explains why reinforcement learning is terrible (but everything else is much worse), why AGI will just blend into the previous ~2.5 centuries of 2% GDP growth, why self driving took so long to crack, and what he sees as the future of education.
It was a pleasure chatting with him.

Stop Trying to Look Rich and Start Building Wealth
Generating more revenue does not automatically make you wealthy. What you do with the money after it arrives can determine whether your success lasts or disappears.
In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why financial discipline becomes even more important as your income grows and how protecting capital can create greater stability, confidence, and freedom inside your business.
You’ll learn why lifestyle inflation can quietly destroy your financial position, how reinvesting into productive assets can strengthen your company, and why maintaining strong cash reserves gives you the ability to make decisions without desperation.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why higher revenue does not automatically create lasting wealth
• How lifestyle inflation can weaken your financial position
• Why reinvesting profits can create more leverage than spending them
• How cash reserves improve your ability to negotiate and take calculated risks
The truth is simple: Looking successful and becoming financially strong are two completely different goals.
Protect the capital. Delay the unnecessary upgrades. Build the reserves and let your money strengthen the business before it strengthens your image.
