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.

The Poverty Threshold: Breaking the Glass Ceiling in Your Own Mind
Your beliefs about money can influence the way you price, sell, negotiate, and grow.
Sometimes the biggest financial ceiling is internal.
In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down how limiting beliefs around wealth can cause entrepreneurs to undervalue themselves, hesitate during sales conversations, and sabotage their own progress.
If you grew up viewing money as scarce or difficult to earn, those beliefs can follow you into business.
You may undercharge.
Avoid asking for the sale.
Or feel uncomfortable when your income starts reaching unfamiliar levels.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How early beliefs about money can influence business decisions
• Why guilt or discomfort around earning more can affect your pricing
• How viewing capital as a tool can change your financial perspective
• Why stronger value delivery can support greater confidence in what you charge
The truth is simple:
Your relationship with money affects how you operate around it.
Stop automatically negotiating against yourself.
Understand the value you provide.
Price according to the outcome and service you can responsibly deliver.
Then use greater profitability to strengthen the business, hire better people, and create more value for customers.
Upgrade the mindset.
Strengthen the offer.
Build the asset.
