>> Heaven exists you just have to do this work to get there.

Or perhaps Karpathy has a higher level understanding and can see a bigger picture?

You've said something about heaven. Are you able to understand this statement, for example: "Heaven is a memeplex, it exists." ?

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.

"Higher" than an EE with an MSc in elastic structures, ~30 years industry experience, now working with PhDs across the spectrum on energy models to embed in chips? Energy models in part, inferred from categorization of LLM contents and compression of those contents into geometric functions like I described?

"Higher level" implies acceptance of geometric structure. You place tokens like a Chomsky diagrams at each step up and down, where you should see parameters to transform geometry of the structure.

My team works "above" the contrived state management of software workers to more efficiently sync memory matrix to display matrix. LLMs are a form of compression [1]. My team is working on compressing them further into sets of points that make up each glyph and functions to recreate them.

Electromagnetic geometry transforms hardcoded[2] into hardware so reduce energy use of all the outdated string mangling of software dev as most know it.

What's higher level, relative to our machines, than design and implementation of the machine?

DnD dungeon master versus WOTC game designer.

Notice outside how there are no words and philosophy? Just color gradient and geometry?

Notice inside the human body no philosophy or words?

Language is not intelligence it's an emergent phenomena of geometry created by fundamental forces of physics organizing matter at various speeds relative to light.

You've read too much into an ultimately arbitrary statement meant to invoked a subtext, a subtle emotion context. You think of language as Legos, when it is music to feel.
