    A Polish programmer running on fumes recently accomplished what may soon become impossible: beating an advanced AI model from OpenAI

    No 🤣

    So long as the protocol is predictive or algorithm based, it won’t ever be better at the job.

    Oml. As someone that can’t wait for AI to advance well enough so I don’t have to fucking code anymore, I’m so sick of this bullshit narrative.

    The reality headline is “Barely functional expert outperforms extremely fast junior hire still in probation period.”

    We already have AI that can beat this guy, but it takes so much work that it’s still years and years and years from being able to cover all the things we consider everyday tasks.

    It’s like that other recent news when medi was flabbergasted that basic coding in an Atari chess game bested an LLM. “Yeah, no shut. Do you even know AI is an acronym, or is it just synonymous with magic at this point?”

    Common sense is as valuable as a computer science degree on this level.

        I expect by then, there’s more to it than scraping off StackOverflow comments grounded in a “this is the best source, therefore the output is the best” fallacy.

        The knowledge and logic components of intelligence would be nice-to-haves in the artificial version too.

    I don’t read this as a win. One man finished in front of OpenAI and many, many, many finished behind OpenAI. If this is the future of coding, it’s bleak indeed.

    The top 1% of developers will probably be OK no matter what, it’s the rest of the crowd who isn’t an award winning developer that are probably in trouble.
