This is a mislabeled upload of stolen content.

The original video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuZoDsNmG_s - on the official Stanford Online YouTube account. It has the title "Stanford CS230 | Autumn 2025 | Lecture 9: Career Advice in AI" and was published 8 months ago.

The linked video was uploaded 3 days ago with the misleading title "Prompting is dead in 6 months" and the following description:

> During the lecture at Stanford, Andrew Ng gave a direct warning: Prompting will be dead in 6 months. Graphs are what's replacing it.

> He breaks down why prompt engineering has hit a ceiling. Instead of tweaking long instruction blocks, developers are wiring models into execution graphs where agents fix their own errors and pass state through loops without manual intervention.

That is a total misrepresentation of the talk. The word "graph" does not appear a single time in the transcript, and the talk is about career advice.
