I think it's interesting to juxtapose traditional coding, neural network weights and prompts because in many areas -- like the example of the self driving module having code being replaced by neural networks tuned to the target dataset representing the domain -- this will be quite useful.

However I think it's important to make it clear that given the hardware constraints of many environments the applicability of what's being called software 2.0 and 3.0 will be severely limited.

So instead of being replacements, these paradigms are more like extra tools in the tool belt. Code and prompts will live side by side, being used when convenient, but none a panacea.

loved the analogies! Karpathy is consistently one of the clearest thinkers out there.

interesting that Waymo could do uninterrupted trips back in 2013, wonder what took them so long to expand? regulation? tailend of driving optimization issues?

noticed one of the slides had a cross over 'AGI 2027'... ai-2027.com :)

You don't "solve" autonomous driving as such. There's a long, slow grind of gradually improving things until failures become rare enough.
