Think of yourself as an LLM.
Every social interaction, every meeting, burns your tokens.
Unless someone is a paid subscriber to your attention, you are under no obligation to answer low-quality prompts.
The aviation-surgery comparison is useful but probably not explored fully. Aviation's safety systems sit on a mature sensor stack. In MIS, the endoscopic video stream does most of the heavy lifting, and building safety systems native to that modality is a very different problem.

They just yolo-ed the prompt into GPT-5 model and called it a day ๐
@karpathy hard agree on the increasing gap between those who like building vs. coding; @karpathy how concerned are you about skill atrophy? is it something worth investing in? how do you see it play out in the future?
.@RichardSSutton, father of reinforcement learning, doesnโt think LLMs are bitter-lesson-pilled.
My steel man of Richardโs position: we need some new architecture to enable continual (on-the-job) learning.
And if we have continual learning, we don't need a special training phase - the agent just learns on-the-fly - like all humans, and indeed, like all animals.
This new paradigm will render our current approach with LLMs obsolete.
I did my best to represent the view that LLMs will function as the foundation on which this experiential learning can happen. Some sparks flew.

0:13:51 โ Do humans do imitation learning?
0:23:57 โ The Era of Experience
0:34:25 โ Current architectures generalize poorly out of distribution
0:42:17 โ Surprises in the AI field
0:47:28 โ Will The Bitter Lesson still apply after AGI?
0:54:35 โ Succession to AI
OpenAI, SAP & Microsoft are launching OpenAI for Germanyโa partnership to bring frontier AI to Germanyโs public sector, through a sovereign, certified cloud environment.
Built on SAPโs Delos Cloud and running on Microsoft Azure, this new initiative will help employees across German governments, administrations and research institutions use our technology to spend more time on people, not paperwork.
