The Death of Classical Computer Science • Matt Welsh & Julian Wood • GOTO 2025

Matt Welsh, former Harvard professor and AI researcher, posits that Large Language Models (LLMs) are not just tools but are evolving into new, general-purpose computers. He argues this signifies the "death of classical computer science," as direct, natural language problem-solving will replace human-written code. This shift promises to democratize computing, moving beyond a "programming priesthood" to empower everyone, while also raising critical challenges regarding job displacement, societal equity, and our adaptation to this powerful technology.
