Andrej Karpathy: agentic AI coding has changed the world unrecognizably
twitter.comUnderstand what this man considers his time to be worth. The actual unsubsidized cost of executing those actions at that speed will likely be several hundred dollars. Still more expensive than a human. It's only a miracle for the average coder/business if models get massively more efficient.
yeah the cost thing is real, though I think it's moving fast enough that the trajectory matters more than today's price.
like a year ago running an agent on a non-trivial task was painful and expensive. now it's annoying and somewhat expensive. tbh at the rate efficiency is improving I wouldn't bet on "still more expensive than a human" holding for long.
