AI-powered 'brain upload' startups could arrive sooner than expected, says Karpathy

Renowned AI scientist Andrej Karpathy said AI-powered "brain upload" startups could emerge sooner than expected. Instead of scanning brains as depicted in sci-fi, such startups could use detailed interviews and LLM fine-tuning to "upload" individuals and give them an API endpoint to interact with their simulation. "Trippy and kind of dystopian, but in principle quite possible around now," he said.
