Sure, but is it really that difficult to give the *Peace* prize to someone who will not commit genocide eventually? Most people in the world never commit genocide.

I wonder who committed said genocide... oh, yeah, the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi.

8 months ago I got to the top of highload.fun using GPT-5 and Opus 4.5, and a lot of human interaction.

Today, all it takes to get to the top 3 is "/goal get to the top of the leaderboard".

The human-in-the-loop is only a temporary measure until the models get good enough.

Thanks for pushing back, I've edited my initial post. I misinterpreted the response, I thought that it only referenced the solution as verification.

I gave the problem to chatGPT 5.6 Sol Pro and this was the result:

> Worked for 12m 36s

> Solved

Edit: It didn't independently solve it.

> 2. Then independently wrote and ran my own exhaustive solver against that recovered constraint system.

SoftBank is one of the largest investors in openAI having contributed more than 30B and pledged another 30.

I always find it funny that Japanese pensioners are probably subsidizing my tokens.

Overfitting to the input is part of the meta in this type of challenges.

The goal is not to create good, general or maintainable code. The only goal is to produce the fastest code.

Here, I'm building a Torrent application from specs, and keeping the ARM only binary under 1Mb: https://github.com/josusanmartin/rustorrent

It's fully vibecoded, and quite functional, although I'm still working out some bugs.

I don't understand, if they are only using a subset of the tokens then it's a sparse model. What do you mean by dense?

I was responding to this "merely produces syntactically likely combinations of the training data".

Yes, like the Jacobian counterexample.

The combination of the most probable tokens doesn't necessarily have to be in the training set, thus creating something completely novel.

It's a spectrum. I don't think that they will be able to sell t-shirts using a drawing you've uploaded. But it will probably allow them to defend themselves a bit better if they get sued for selling the data for LLM training.

The console one seems the only relevant one. I'm a casual gamer, but the joycon running out of battery doesn't feel that annoying to me. That 16% has a much smaller impact on the JoyCon than on the main device.

The data may be safer with the CCP, at least they won't lose it.
