Last year I ran a code breaking competition, and it was tricky to find something that humans could break but that LLMs couldn’t. This was around October. I managed it last year but am a little dispairing of pulling it off again this year.

I don't even care. It is the same problem advent of code had as a public challenge with a leader board. I now mostly just think either embrace the LLM or keep it to a more in person or vetted audience. But, again, if you create a competition in the spirit of humans without LLMs and that is in the rules and someone uses an LLM that is on them IMO. I am sad advent of code decided to end their competition. LLMs are here to stay, let's embrace that and see what the new universe of competitions with LLMs can be. There will always be a place for human only competition, but for public facing ones LLM accepted is the only tenable position.

This does bring "Pay to compete" concerns and create incentive structures that encourage more LLM use. I don't know what to do about it.
