Prompt Engineering Could Be the Hottest Programming Language of 2024 — Here’s Why
Large Language Models are the next generation of Operating Systems
“I don’t think it’s accurate to think of Large Language Models as chatbots or some kind of word generators,” Andrej Karpathy, one of OpenAI’s founding members, said. “It’s a lot more correct to think about [them] as the kernel process of an emerging Operating System.”
Wait, but what the heck does that mean?
Large Language Models (LLMs) will gradually become the interface between you and computer systems.
Right now, you’re holding a device that has some computing power inside it, but you can’t directly access that power. Your interaction is mediated by an Operating System (such as Windows, Mac OS, and Android,), which transforms a collection of chips and circuits into a user-friendly interface.
Your Operating System (OS) allows you to perform a wide range of activities (like reading some bald dude’s article) through a variety of apps running on top of it. Each app has its own User Interface (UI) and its own set of tasks it can accomplish. You jump from one app to another, one UI to another, depending on what you need to do.
