🤖 Ex-OpenAI researcher Karpathy says that AGI is one decade away 🤖
Former Tesla and OpenAI researcher delivers comprehensive reality check on autonomous AI timeline.

Former OpenAI and Tesla researcher Andrej Karpathy delivered a comprehensive reality check on AI agent hype, calling current agent output 'slop' and projecting a decade-long timeline before AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) can deliver on its promises. He challenged the industry's 'year of agents' narrative, arguing that current agents lack basic cognitive abilities, reliable memory, and sufficient intelligence to operate independently. Ex-OpenAI researcher Karpathy says AGI one decade away represents his belief that the next era will focus more on augmented intelligence—AI as a cognitive power tool—rather than artificial intelligence replacing human workers. His perspective carries significant weight given his foundational work at both OpenAI and Tesla's Autopilot division.

🚗 Waymo expands to London 2026 🚗

Waymo announced plans to launch autonomous taxi service in London by 2026, marking the company's first major expansion into European markets. This represents a high-stakes bet that the UK will fast-track autonomous vehicle regulations ahead of other European jurisdictions. The London deployment will test whether Waymo's technology can navigate medieval street layouts, left-side driving conventions, and dense pedestrian areas. Success could serve as a gateway for broader European expansion.
