From Episode 43: The AI Product Team Replacement? Inside Autonomy AI’s Live Demo, starting at 19:26.
Sam Nadler [19:26]: Amazing. Guys, okay. I moving on. I have two articles. Karpathy joins Anthropic. Is Karpathy known as the creator of Vibe Coding, also one of the founders of OpenAI? Yeah. Obviously, a huge hire for Anthropic. What are your thoughts on what is he bringing to Anthropic? What does this mean for the space in general?
Jordan Metzner [19:47]: Yeah. I don't think he's a founder of OpenAI, but he was at Tesla. And I think Elon helped get him from Tesla over to OpenAI, and then, yeah, definitely defined the term kind of vibe coding and obviously kind of many contributions in the space. But, yeah, I think it just shows kind of how well Anthropic is doing in the market to be able to snag someone of his caliber. And obviously, we've seen the growth of Anthropic over the last few months in the enterprise space. So obviously, it just means that this is the beginning. We saw, as I mentioned in the early in the episode, kind of the IPO coming for OpenAI, then I guess this definitely means kind of IPO probably coming for Anthropic as well. And, yeah, it still just feels like the early days, but I think it's exciting.
Sam Nadler [20:26]: Didn't he hit the news just a couple months ago with some, I guess, research features? I forgot what it was exactly.
Jordan Metzner [20:33]: Yeah. He built this, like, tool to create your own, like, personal, like, notification like, note library that tracks what you're doing every day. So you have this, like, giant anthology of basically your entire life.
Sam Nadler [20:46]: It's gonna be
Adir Ben-Yehuda [20:47]: A huge market.
