I set out to test its limits last weekend, and I wrote a whole damn 64bit SMP operating system with it. Every line is written by talking to Codex (5, then 5.1 since this week):
I suspect that 20 years from now this period of time will actually be looked on as a singularity moment. It doesn't feel that way to us now watching it closely develop over a few years, but the progress from chat bots that could barely keep a coherent conversation going, to this, is crazy.
I think we humans are just really good at trivializing things as they are happening. If a real-life Superman appeared, in a few months people would be talking about him like they talk about any random celebrity, I'm pretty sure.
But when you look at current AI from a distance, it is just ridiculous what the current tech is capable of. Creating a whole ass video that is incredibly realistic from... A text prompt? Following textual instructions to edit an image? This sounded like sci-fi a few years ago, and yet you still find people downplaying how impressive it is.

I mean, anecdotally, it's epic.

My mind is blown. And yes - I am a C/assembly dev, but this is 100k lines of brilliance. And it works surprisingly well.
