I’m Losing All Trust in the AI Industry

AI bigwigs promise AGI in a quick 1-5 years, but the revolving door at labs like OpenAI screams wishful thinking. As AI hustles to serve up habit-forming products, the priority on user engagement echoes the well-trodden social media playbook. Who needs productivity, anyway? Cash fuels AI's joyride, with forecasts like OpenAI's wild $125 billion revenue by 2029, but the route to actual profit? Pure vaporware.

LLMs dream up nonsense, poking holes in any grand AGI visions. Forget utopias or dystopias; we’re stuck with messy reality. Public chatter swings wildly—fear today, utopia tomorrow—while a reckless AI sprint unfolds with zero accountability. The chatter around AI agents is stuffed with hot air. Karpathy cuts through the noise, reminding us that true autonomy is still sci-fi. Instead, he says, let's amp up our own capabilities.
