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.

Your Business Can Change the Next 50 Years of Your Family
The strongest reason to build wealth may have very little to do with what you can buy for yourself today.
In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why entrepreneurship can become a vehicle for changing the financial trajectory of an entire family and why legacy can create a deeper source of motivation than short-term status.
You’ll learn how breaking old financial patterns can affect future generations, why long-term thinking changes the way you approach difficult work, and how building knowledge, assets, and financial security can create opportunities that extend beyond your own lifetime.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why generational thinking can strengthen your motivation
• How financial patterns can influence an entire family
• Why legacy requires looking beyond immediate rewards
• How assets and knowledge can create opportunities for future generations
The truth is simple: The money you build can matter long after you are gone.
Think beyond the next purchase. Build the assets, knowledge, and stability that can permanently change what your last name represents.
