Software is solved. Significant amount of code written (>90% of engineers) wrote slop. And it would get merged. Overall - both floor and ceiling of quality of software has definitely been raised. Just that it's had a labor scare and impact.

Before it needed you to jailbreak a console. Today point frontier at a console, and it could also figure it out. The console folks also can do that before release and ensure it's unbreakable.

Now that software is solved, we are faced with the philsophical necessity of our vocation.

lol saying software is solved is like saying math is solved. It's not.

And it's unclear which direction this will tip things for jailbreaks, it's always been a two-player game. It will still be people like me doing the jailbreaks, they will just have harder problems to solve and better tools to help solve them.

Ok, I'll rephrase to be more specific: Software is magnitude more solved now than it was 7 months ago.

And we're seeing the early signs of same in Math as well.

Is chess solved? (it's not)

[cognitiveinline]

I don't think it'll be useful to get into semantics of the word "solved" now, then!

Whatever's done to chess, the same is now done to software.

I don't think it is yet. I think the top software engineers well outperform models in normal time controls. AI coding today looks more like how blitz was solved years before classical.

This will shift and eventually programming will look like chess, but the goal of chess is so obvious it doesn't need to be talked about. The goal of programming isn't. The new tools are so much fun to use to amplify your power!

And chess isn't solved at all, it's just superhuman. Programming is even more complex.

You're asking such a small concession: for one in a thousand engineers. My argument would be happy to grant it, and still be true.
