Quoting Andrej Karpathy on Claude Fable 5 and Jevons' Paradox in AI-generated software
Original: Quoting Andrej Karpathy
Karpathy argues that AI making software nearly free triggers Jevons' Paradox, dramatically expanding personal demand for custom tools and apps.
Andrej Karpathy shares that Claude Fable 5 has made working software feel like an open tap, triggering Jevons' Paradox: the cheaper it gets to build software, the more software he wants. He lists use cases ranging from bespoke single-use apps and hyper-specific dashboards to 10x test suites, auto-optimized code, and custom HTML research reports. He closes with a Matrix reference — "Free your mind" — suggesting AI breaks the mental ceiling on what individuals can ask for.
