Ok so AIs can pretty reliably write tight for loops now. How the hell did we, as an industry, go from there to “we don't need to think anymore”? Just fart into the idea processor and register a tld amirite?
Wtf is going on folks, can we lay it off already and start thinking and caring about thinking again?
Maybe the endgame, the end of all abstractions, is to get rid of computers and live an analog, simpler life. Woops seems like Unabomber already thought of this one!
In defense of the analog simple life I suppose it's possible to be a hermit without sending out mail bombs to people you believe have not seen the light?

No. We're going to accelerate as fast as we can until we either ascend to godhood or else fall off the cliff like Wile E. Coyote. As long as no one looks down everything should be fine.
Writing just code isn't thinking, it's a fun distraction. Designing, problem solving, solution engineering, is thinking. So arguably, this project is more about the thinking than "traditional" programming, going by their docs.
