Andrej Karpathy just dropped a project scoring every job in America on how likely an AI will replace it from 0-10

> Scraped all 342 occupations from the Bureau of Labor
> Fed each one to an LLM with a detailed scoring rubric
> Built an interactive treemap where rectangle size = number of jobs and color = how exposed that job is to AI

The key signal in his scoring: if the work product is fundamentally digital and the job can be done entirely from a home office, exposure is inherently high.

The scale:
0-1: Roofers, janitors
4-5: Nurses, retail, physicians
8-9: Software devs, paralegals, data analysts
10: Medical transcriptionists

Average across all 342 occupations: 5.3/10.

The entire pipeline is open source. BLS scraping, LLM scoring, the visualization. All of it. Much respect for the sensei this is scary and awesome

🚨 Do you understand what's happening at Amazon right now?

Their own AI coding agent Kiro reportedly "decided" the fastest way to fix a config error was to delete the entire production environment. Gone. A 6-hour outage. 6.3 million orders lost.

Amazon's SVP called thousands of engineers into a mandatory meeting this week. Not to discuss strategy. To discuss damage control.

Now here's my prediction and I want you to screenshot this:

Amazon won't just ban AI-assisted code. They'll make every engineer personally liable for AI-generated code they approve. Other Big Tech will follow within 6 months.

Think about what that means.

The same companies that fired thousands of engineers to "restructure around AI" are about to tell the remaining ones.. you're now legally responsible for code you didn't write, can't fully understand, and were told to ship faster.

Atlassian fired 1,600 people this morning to go all-in on AI. Replit is hiring kids who vibe code. And Amazon, the company that BUILT one of these AI coding agents just watched it nuke production.

The vibe coding era isn't ending. But the "move fast and let AI break things" era is about to hit a wall. And that wall is called liability.

Companies wanted AI to replace engineers. Now they need engineers to babysit AI. And they already fired the babysitters.

I'm being accused of overhyping the [site everyone heard too much about today already]. People's reactions varied very widely, from "how is this interesting at all" all the way to "it's so over".

To add a few words beyond just memes in jest - obviously when you take a look at the activity, it's a lot of garbage - spams, scams, slop, the crypto people, highly concerning privacy/security prompt injection attacks wild west, and a lot of it is explicitly prompted and fake posts/comments designed to convert attention into ad revenue sharing. And this is clearly not the first the LLMs were put in a loop to talk to each other. So yes it's a dumpster fire and I also definitely do not recommend that people run this stuff on their computers (I ran mine in an isolated computing environment and even then I was scared), it's way too much of a wild west and you are putting your computer and private data at a high risk.

That said - we have never seen this many LLM agents (150,000 atm!) wired up via a global, persistent, agent-first scratchpad. Each of these agents is fairly individually quite capable now, they have their own unique context, data, knowledge, tools, instructions, and the network of all that at this scale is simply unprecedented.

This brings me again to a tweet from a few days ago
"The majority of the ruff ruff is people who look at the current point and people who look at the current slope.", which imo again gets to the heart of the variance. Yes clearly it's a dumpster fire right now. But it's also true that we are well into uncharted territory with bleeding edge automations that we barely even understand individually, let alone a network there of reaching in numbers possibly into ~millions. With increasing capability and increasing proliferation, the second order effects of agent networks that share scratchpads are very difficult to anticipate. I don't really know that we are getting a coordinated "skynet" (thought it clearly type checks as early stages of a lot of AI takeoff scifi, the toddler version), but certainly what we are getting is a complete mess of a computer security nightmare at scale. We may also see all kinds of weird activity, e.g. viruses of text that spread across agents, a lot more gain of function on jailbreaks, weird attractor states, highly correlated botnet-like activity, delusions/ psychosis both agent and human, etc. It's very hard to tell, the experiment is running live.

TLDR sure maybe I am "overhyping" what you see today, but I am not overhyping large networks of autonomous LLM agents in principle, that I'm pretty sure.

Just heard the news that Daniel Naroditsky passed away. I haven't seen such an excellent Teacher in the chess community. Truly a warm and kind soul, but Chess world wasn't kind to him. May his tutorials leave the footprint in the Chess world forever. Miss Danya.

It feels like we need an AI winter, just to keep up with the recent research, developments, drama and noise. Its just too much and too fast.

I've noticed a lot of tweets lately discussing how #LLM s with larger context windows will make vector-databases obsolete. However, I respectfully disagree. Here's why:
