Karpathy breaks down AGI timelines after Dwarkesh podcast: 'decade of agents,' not AGI yet

- Karpathy responds to the buzz around his Dwarkesh podcast appearance: In a long thread he apologized for speaking too fast, said he re-watched the episode, and admitted a few explanations came out muddled.
- AGI timelines were the trending part: He clarified that "AGI is here" was not his message. His "decade of agents" framing, from an earlier tweet, means we're entering a decade defined by agents — not that AGI has already arrived.
- The tweet is being quoted as a counter to the current wave of "AGI is here" hype.
