Andrej Karpathy’s take on AI coding agents feels grounded. The industry’s chasing full autonomy when models still hallucinate too much.

Agents that churn out a thousand lines of code leave you either blindly trusting them or slogging through reviews. These tools should embrace their fallibility.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

why does every acid reflux medicine sound like a fancy pasta dish if you say it with a fake italian accent

Yup. You should evaluate AI tools the same way you would any others. Do they solve a problem you have? Great! No? Don't use them then. Many of them are useful to some degree, but I have yet to find one that lives up to the hype.

But if you say that to a VC they won't give you any money.

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!
