QUOTE:

It has eight parts, listed below:

  1. Accept “falling behind” as the new normal. Learn to live with it and work around it.
  2. Understand that our sense of time has been altered by recent events.
  3. Forget “mastery.” Go for continuous, lightweight experimentation instead.
  4. Less coding, more developing.
  5. Yes, AI is an “alien tool,” but what if that alien tool is a droid instead of a probe?
  6. Other ideas I’m still working out
  7. This may be the “new normal” for Karpathy, but it’s just the “same old normal” for my dumb ass.
  8. The difference between an adventure and an ordeal is attitude.
