Nithin Kamath: LLMs Evolved From 'Hallucinate' to 'Better Than Humans' in 3 Years
•Zerodha founder Nithin Kamath highlights rapid AI advancement: LLMs went from "hallucinating" in 2023 to impressing Linus Torvalds by 2026.
•Linux creator Linus Torvalds, a known skeptic, now admits LLMs generate code superior to his own, a sentiment echoed by Kamath.
•Zerodha CTO Kailash Nadh states traditional software development is "over," as LLMs reduce cognitive and emotional costs, shifting focus from typing to high-level thinking.
•Nadh now spends more time on engineering, architecture, rapid prototyping, and concise logic, offloading boilerplate code to AI.
•Kamath notes the democratization of tech, citing a non-programmer who built a functional website with a quiz, expressing "full FOMO" over the ease of tool creation.
