Karpathy says "I haven't typed a line of code since December" in his latest podcast. Here are the 10 most interesting things he said: Industry-level thoughts: 1. The new way to code is the Peter Steinberg (OpenClaw) way. Have 10 Claude Code / Codex windows open in parallel. The skill is now more how to manage a small org of agents. You need to know how to carve up a codebase into parallel non-conflicting workstreams, write good specs so agents don't go off the rails, and tune when you should review code output. 2. Open source started 18mos behind frontier and is now 6-8mos behind. He thinks this equilibrium will last. He's worried about centralization 3. Two-minded on the future of engineers. On one hand, Jevons paradox could apply where the ease of building software means more software demand than ever (like ATMs allowed more bank tellers, not less). At the same time, in the long run, recursive self-improvement could remove humans from the loop entirely. 4. Interesting startups are at the intersection of physical + digital. The interface between intelligence and the real world is with "Sensors" for reading and "Actuators" for doing. Data for AI is just using humans as sensors. He cites Periodic Labs using lab equipment for material science as sensors. Talks about Daemon by Daniel Suarez. 5. Education will shift from humans to teaching agents. He's writing markdown for agents to teach microGPT. Personal projects: 6. Autoresearch found things he missed after two decades of experience, citing NanoChat where it found weight decay on value embeddings and insufficiently tuned Adam betas jointly interacted to create improvements. 7. "Dobby the Elf Claw" runs his entire home. Overproduction of bespoke apps. Reverse engineered Sonos API and now controls his entire home (lights, HVAC, shades, camera) through WhatsApp. Takes: 8. Claude Code personality better than Codex, but uses both. Finds himself trying to present better ideas to earn Claude's approval, which is a feedback loop that actually improves the quality of his input. 9. Token throughput is the new GPU utilization. If you have tokens left, you haven't maximized leverage. 10. He's not at a frontier AI lab because financial misalignment compromises your independence, social pressure to stay on-message, and as an employee you don't have much sway on decisions.

🔥Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae: "I firmly believe that it is only you, Donald, who can achieve peace across the world. To do so, I am ready to reach out to many of the partners in the international community to achieve our objective together."

You're a 15 second sliding context window with the working memory of a goldfish, your long term memory is mainly fake, and it's a minor miracle you can get out of the door in the morning.

Slightly disappointed that there's no connecting flight from Bangalore Airport to Bangalore.

War Dept should seize Anthropic’s compute and give XAi the model weights

Wrote a little retrospective

CLIs are super exciting precisely because they are a "legacy" technology, which means AI agents can natively and easily use them, combine them, interact with them via the entire terminal toolkit. E.g ask your Claude/Codex agent to install this new Polymarket CLI and ask for any arbitrary dashboards or interfaces or logic. The agents will build it for you. Install the Github CLI too and you can ask them to navigate the repo, see issues, PRs, discussions, even the code itself. Example: Claude built this terminal dashboard in ~3 minutes, of the highest volume polymarkets and the 24hr change. Or you can make it a web app or whatever you want. Even more powerful when you use it as a module of bigger pipelines. If you have any kind of product or service think: can agents access and use them? - are your legacy docs (for humans) at least exportable in markdown? - have you written Skills for your product? - can your product/service be usable via CLI? Or MCP? - ... It's 2026. Build. For. Agents.

Did not expect a question that starts out 'Do you think before you speak?' to go so well. A+ question from Charlotte Harpur A++ response from Eileen Gu.
