So software 2.0 is huge and inefficient. It is nondeterministic. It is not reproducible. It is not correct (with the same definition of correct used for usual stuff. I.E. If there is a right answer, it will give that one and only ever that one). It is not auditable. It is not modifiable in a targeted manner. It offers literally zero guarantees about anything it might (or might not) do.
It might help to see it as a new thing. True, it doesn't have all the strengths of software. Plus you're right, it has many new weaknesses! But it also has new strengths. And I'd bet that the people of tomorrow will invent some pretty cool things with it.

The piece is from 2017, it was a time before LLMs, when AI was much more modest
Is this the same AI promoting youtuber who gave us the term vibe coding?
Calling Karpathy a YouTuber is like referring to Einstein as a Physics Teacher.
'patent guy Einstein
Yes actually! He was also a co-founder of OpenAI and head of Tesla AI. He gets around.
"Software 2.0" reminds me of "web 3.0".
Luckily it’s nothing like that
