Karpathy on Programming

I’m not sure that really answers the question? Or perhaps my interpretation of the question is different.

If (say) the code generation technology of Anthropic is so good, why be in the business of selling access to AI systems? Why not instead conquer every other software industry overnight?

Have Claude churn out the best office application suite ever. Have Claude make the best operating system ever. Have Claude make the best photo editing software, music production software, 3D rendering software, DNA analysis software, banking software, etc.

Why be merely the best AI software company when you can be the best at all software everywhere for all time?

Im waiting for people to realise that software products are much more than just lines of code.

Getting sick and tired of people talk about their productivity gains when not much is actually happening out there in terms of real value creation.

Just because you don't see it or refuse to believe people doesn't make you right and them liars. Maybe you're just wrong.

Or maybe I’m just right and you’re just slow at seeing what other people can see.

I’m not a SWE either fyi. Therefore I have no vested interest.
