Comment on OpenAI’s new “deep-thinking” o1 model crushes coding benchmarks.

Eh. If it what they say it is, it’s still not going to replace a solid engineer. This is also still not capable of actually developing novel reasoning and logic solutions, so the threat of not being able to own the IP is still a thing. There’s also still this bullshit of OpenAI hinting that they want to retain rights to created works through certain licenses somehow?
Fuck these assholes up and down the aisle.

Why?
A half decade ago we would’ve laughed at a machine passing the Turing test…

Why what?

Why could it not replace an engineer?
The previous limits of technology exploded less than half a decade ago, seems wild to assume that’s the end of that kind of growth.

Eventually, we might get there, sure. But I don’t see any reason to believe this is it, and I use AI to assist in my programming every day.

In its current state?
Writing code is a small part of being a software engineer and compared to those coding tasks with very detailed instructions about the input, constraints and the output (even with examples), actual tasks are usually missing lots of information you need to find out from different people and there is a huge code base that can’t be transfered to the model.

Technology is always progressing but nobody can say what the next big thing will be, if you really think you are that prescient you can make loads of cash predicting things. Companies are hungry for the next big thing though and will do everything to convince us that they have it, AI is an enticing grift because it’s so misunderstood. The next big thing wasn’t AR or VR or the metaverse, and I don’t think it’s going to be generative AI either, it’s already plateauing and not profitable, even with billions of dollars behind it.

Sure, make it drive a car first, a thing 99% of the population can do before attempt coding ^^
Coding is actually quile complicated, especially in old existing codebases. Add that they train them on any crap code they can find…

…officer! I told the car to not hurt anyone! I can’t help it if he’s sarcastic!
