In this talk, I'll argue that not only are we looking at the death of classical computer science, but a completely new era of computing that will be dominated by language models replacing conventional software. Yes, it's scary, but if we can embrace this future the field of computing will finally be open to everyone - marking a technological revolution that benefits all of humanity.
