Karpathy Says Singularity Already Passed
Karpathy's latest No Priors interview says AI coding has crossed a threshold: he now spends his days orchestrating agents instead of hand-writing code. He says the shift feels like AI psychosis because the number of possible directions now feels almost endless.
This reads less like prophecy and more like a status report from the front edge of agentic coding. The singularity framing is dramatic, but the workflow shift is real.
- –The bottleneck is moving from typing code to specifying tasks, reviewing outputs, and designing evals.
- –Karpathy's AutoResearch project shows the same pattern applied to research loops, not just software builds.
- –The upside is massive leverage; the downside is that endless agent iteration can turn into thrash or burnout.
- –For developers, the durable edge is becoming the person who can orchestrate the agents well.
