Andrej Karpathy: Software Is Changing (Again)

Karpathy's AI Startup School keynote argues software has had three major versions: code you write, neural network weights you train, and now prompts in English. He works through three analogies for what LLMs are, utilities, fabs, and above all operating systems, and concludes we are in the 1960s of LLM computing. The second half is practical: build partial autonomy products with an autonomy slider and a fast generation and verification loop, keep the AI on a leash, and start writing documentation for agents rather than only for people.
