Karpathy 'State of Psychosis': Hasn't Typed Code Since December, Now Full-Time AI Agent Director
Fortune·high signal
Andrej Karpathy told the No Priors podcast he hasn't typed 'a line of code probably since December,' describing a complete shift from engineer to AI orchestrator. He disclosed building 'Dobby the House Elf' — an OpenClaw-powered home agent controlling sound, lighting, HVAC, pool, and security — while describing the integration process as inducing a 'claw psychosis.' Fortune framed this March 21 as the clearest first-person account of a top researcher crossing the agent-first threshold permanently.
