Also note Karpathy notes the problems with agents are tractable but hard.
He's vague on the paths being explored to resolve them. His "higher level" view is probably awareness the solutions to software problems are hardware based fixes, but he cannot say that to software developers. Which has been the back and forth of tech since I was a kid in the 80s writing Basic; new state management unlocked by old software logic being embedded into new hardware.
Two main problems to solve for: too many people bought in to a status quo. And much simpler, the actual engineering of new hardware. One is only resolved by generational churn without resorting to all out police state action. So tech jobs as we know them will fade away slowly to not upset too many, and younger generations will not care as they will never experience anything else.
