In a March 23 analysis, Karpathy argues human researchers are now the rate-limiting constraint in any AI domain with a clear scalar metric. His autonomous agent ran 700 experiments over two days, found 20 optimizations, and delivered an 11% training speedup he'd missed after months of manual tuning. Key quote: "You can't be there to prompt the next thing."
