Is Coding Solved?
AI lab insiders believe coding will be a solved problem within 6 months
“We're 6 months or towards the end of the year to be completely done with code. Like it's a solved problem.”
The No Priors podcast reports a pervasive belief inside AI labs that coding will be fully automated within 6 months, with AGI-level capabilities ('light RSI') following by end of 2027. This is driving researchers to work extreme hours out of fear of displacement, though the speaker notes that ASI predictions have been '18 months away' for five years running, and physical compute constraints may be a harder limiter than algorithmic ones.
