OpenAI Co-founder Andrej Karpathy Hasn't Coded Since December: AI Agents Take Over
•OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy revealed he hasn't written a line of code since December, attributing the shift to AI agents handling most of his workflow.
•Karpathy, now an independent AI researcher, described this change as 'extremely large' and admitted to being in a 'state of psychosis' trying to grasp AI's potential.
•His coding split dramatically flipped from 80% self-written to 80% handled by AI agents, a trend he notes is becoming common in software development.
•Despite his expertise, Karpathy feels 'antsy' about not being at the absolute cutting edge, constantly pushing AI systems to their limits.
•He has integrated AI agents into his personal life, controlling his home's lighting, security, HVAC, and entertainment via natural language commands through a system nicknamed 'Dobby the House Elf claw'.
