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...

First time using NotebookLM and it blew my mind. I pasted in the OP's transcription of the talk into NotebookLM and got this "podcast": https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/5ec54d65-f512-4e6c-9c...

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

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.

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