The hype factory must grow, I suppose, though I would prefer if the model makers would stop with this "complete the task by any and every means possible" and replace it with "I don't know, I should ask or do more learning"
At least they have added a test which looks to make sure the Ai doesn't do it again... if you need this kind of test, something is wrong

I'll tell claude, "write an implementation of an AAC decoder that is 50% faster than ffmpeg"
and it will do it! Amazing!
Then i tell it "hmm ffmpeg has been really well optimised, are you sure?" and it says "oh, i was running our code directly but running ffmpeg executables with loads of overhead, ffmpeg is actually 50% faster"
The optimizations on PostgreSQL are real if done correctly, it's just a very big project.
My new definition for The Singularity is not about Ai intelligence, it is about humans handing over critical thinking regardless of Ai capabilities
Ai companions are where I put the highest p(doom)
the project has 3 mega commits of claude slop
will you be removing the 1600x claim?
Depends on who wrote the original code. With postgres its sus, but if it's another AI...I wouldn't be surprised. I also saw code writtem by humans that is a result of "I can't figure out how to make this safe and concurrent, so imma just place giant mutex here", and it like 100 lines change to fix that.
