Defined testability.

> swarms of thousands of agents collaborating over weeks on software mega projects

If you have defined testability, running a single agent, in a loop, over a goal will achieve the same results.

> minting zero days, running cyber attacks ... Granted Claude has been really smooth, but still

The old adage about monkeys writing Shakespeare applies here. Agents are just better monkeys and if the goal has a well defined outcome it's fairly easy to "Brute force" the way to an answer.

Yeah I suspect Karpathy is too generous. I’m finding a lot of devs with access to the best models are not effective with them.

So I think there is are growing gaps even within the described groups.

That group does not exist. It's all hype, zero substance.

This just goes to further show the divide.

You’re trying to tell me it’s all hype when I have (depending on the day) a top 50 Productivity app in the iOS App Store for which I’ve written and read exactly one line of code (the version number).

It is comical that you think a good bar for quality is the fucking appstore.

What even is this comment. Like, oh wow, an iOS app, AI hype=real.

Oh no, I get money deposited into my bank account every month for something I didn’t write and barely maintain. How will I ever gain value from AI?

Well done.

It's incredible to see AI denialists still active in late 2026.

It's insane how confidently you can make a claim like this in a forum where thousands (tens of thousands?) of people are using these tools daily to build useful software for themselves and others.

How can you possibly believe it's all hype? Is everyone just lying? Are we all paying $200 per month because... why?

I don't think AI is all hype at all. Opus 5.5 is really impressive. This twitter (x? whatever) post is infuriatingly hypey and just written for virality, though
