🗣Andrej Karpathy says AI coding has crossed a major turning point: • Rapid shift in behavior: In late 2025, he went from writing most of his own code to letting AI agents handle 80% and eventually stopped coding entirely. • Threshold moment: Around December 2025, AI tools improved enough to handle complex real-world tasks, contradicting his earlier skepticism. • Productivity leap + disorientation: He describes the experience as overwhelming like human capability is expanding faster than people can mentally keep up. But there’s a catch: • “Slopacolypse” risk: A surge of AI-generated code that looks correct but hides subtle bugs. • AI code already shows: • More bugs and logic errors than human code • Higher security vulnerabilities • Most developers don’t fully trust AI output and many don’t thoroughly review it before shipping. Companies are already scaling this (e.g., internal AI agents generating large volumes of production code). @aipost🏴
