This week, Silicon Valley got a wake-up call. Andrej Karpathy says we’re a decade away from true AI agents and Elon Musk fired back. We break down what Karpathy really meant, and why it matters for everyone betting big on AGI. Plus, the wild new tech that lets artificial neurons whisper to real brain cells.

We’ll talk about:

• Karpathy’s blunt take on why AI agents are still “interns”
• Musk’s Grok 5 challenge (and why it’s more PR than progress)
• Meta’s controversial “camera roll” AI feature and what it really does
• The mind-blowing UMass breakthrough where artificial neurons talk to real ones
• What all this means for the next decade of AI, real progress vs hype
