Very pleased one of my predictions was totally wrong: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23252711">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23252711
Sure, sure, what LLMs make still isn't "efficient bug-free code": my prediction is falsified because while LLMs can write and train new models with machine learning, ML is fundamentally not advanced enough to throw arbitraty new tasks at like this.

  so the conditions for your prediction simply haven't been met yet.
  if/when you can tell a model to do a thing and be confident that it did the thing, it's joever for 90% of knowledge workers.

    The relevant condition was met; my misjudgement was that meeting it would require ML to be advanced enough to be able to train on arbitraty tasks from realistic (ie small) numbers of examples.
