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.

What if you could talk without speaking?

A groundbreaking new study claims to have found a way for a fully paralyzed person to communicate entirely via thought. But as we learned in an episode earlier this year, the scientists behind it have a checkered past. This episode was produced by Miles Bryan, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro, fact-checked by Tori Dominguez and Laura Bullard, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.

Why Rejection Teaches You More Than Another Course

There comes a point when learning becomes another form of procrastination.

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why entrepreneurs eventually have to leave theory behind, enter the market, and allow real customers to expose what actually needs improvement.

You’ll learn why rejection provides valuable feedback, how real-world experience reveals problems that planning cannot predict, and why rapid action and iteration can teach you more than endlessly consuming books, courses, and podcasts.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why excessive preparation can become intellectual procrastination

• How customer rejection gives you valuable market feedback

• Why real-world execution exposes problems theory cannot predict

• How taking action and adjusting quickly accelerates your growth

The truth is simple: You cannot perfect a business from the sidelines.

Make the call. Pitch the offer. Hear the objections. Fix what is broken and get back into the market.

Middlegarchs are the new Oligarchs

Wanna know who is really in the top 1%? And how they use their influence? It may not be who you think.

Look beyond Silicon Valley. Look beyond Wall Street. Look beyond the “oligarchs”. There's a much larger class of wealthy Americans hiding in plain sight. And, often, they got rich in mundane ways. They own car dealerships. They sell hot dogs and frozen mini-quiches. They run waxing salons. They supply fabricated metal and urinal cakes. They are dentists.

Collectively, these "Main Street millionaires" control much more wealth than the billionaire lightning rods who launch rockets into space, appear on manosphere podcasts, and have Hollywood movies made about them. Many of these millionaires have also grown rich enough to afford superyachts, 10,000-square-foot homes, and pet tigers. 

At the center of their story is a quiet revolution in the American economy: the rise of a particular kind of private business. On today’s show, how did the power of the “stealthy wealthy” millionaires come to rival that of the billionaire oligarchs? And, how are they shaping policies that lower their taxes and raise your prices?
