OpenAI cofounder says he hasn’t written a line of code in months and is in a ‘state of psychosis’ trying to figure out what’s possible

Andrej Karpathy, an OpenAI cofounder and former director of AI at Tesla, admitted that he’s not on the forefront of the field and feels nervous about it, despite all his accomplishments in AI.

In an interview on the No Priors podcast on Friday, the independent AI researcher, who is also the founder of Eureka Labs, explained a “psychosis” he’s been suffering from, even as AI agents have made his workflow and life at home more convenient.

A tipping point came in December, when he noticed he was writing just 20% of his code with 80% delegated to an agent, reversing from an earlier split with 80% done by himself and 20% by an agent. That trend has continued.

“I don’t think I’ve typed like a line of code probably since December, basically, which is an extremely large change,” Karpathy said. “I don’t think a normal person actually realizes that this happened or how dramatic it was.”

He’s not alone and added that the default workflow for building software has completely changed in recent months as agentic AI has exploded in popularity.
