The funding of companies pursuing alternative architectures to LLMs further suggests that even if current AI development hits a wall (it hasn’t, and no sign of one yet), there are plenty of alternative approaches being developed that will keep the overall improvement trajectory

@karpathy Reminds me of the amazing TV show from the 80’s called The Greatest American Hero where aliens leave a superpowered suit for a guy but there is no instruction manual!

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

We’re doing an extra @TheRewatchables episode on Wednesday to honor the great Rob Reiner. It’s a movie we’ve wanted to do for years, only it’s never been available on streaming. (We are doing it anyway.) Will be our 7th Reiner film.

The only Christmas tree your CEO wants to see this year.
