This is hard for me to digest because I have a lot of respect for Karpathy. His famous article on the potential of LSTMs as language models absolutely blew my mind. The innovations that led to LLMs stand on his shoulders, so how can he have such a poor take here?

He's too young to grok why operating systems exist. (So am I...) To be fair, we're outgrowing the concept in several areas; folks say that Web browsers, unikernels, blockchains, and now apparently LLMs are all replacements for the operating system, because they resemble each other in functionality sometimes.
