For context - I was in the audience when Karpathy gave this amazing talk on software 3.0. YC has said the official video will take a few weeks to release, by which Karpathy himself said the talk will be deprecated.

To complete the loop, we need an AI avatar of Karpathy doing text-to-voice from the transcript. Who says AI can't boost productivity!

Do the talk's predictions about the future of the industry project beyond a few weeks? If so, I'd expect the salient points of the talk to remain valid. Hmm...

AGI = approximating partition function. Everything else is just a poor substitute.

The talk is still not available on YouTube? What takes them so long?

At first blush, I have to say AI SUS seems about right to me, as in, I’m sus about AI living up to the bold claims that Altman and others are selling and marketing.
That said, a large contention of this essay (which I’m assuming the talk is based on or is transcribed from depending on order) I do think that open source models will eventually catch up to closed source ones, or at least be “good enough” and I also think you can already see how LLMs are augmenting knowledge work.
I don’t think it’s the 4th wave of pioneering a new dawn of civilization but it’s clear LLMs will remain useful when applied correctly
