""We're 6 monthsish or towards the end of the year to be completely done with code. Like it's a solved problem and then we'll probably hit some form of, you know, light RSI by end of next year.""
Investor Elad Gil says that, in his telling, some people at leading AI labs believe software development will be effectively ‘solved’ within roughly six months, with a form of “light” recursive self-improvement (RSI) following by the end of the next year. Co-host Sarah Guo pushes on whether such timelines are credible, noting some researchers have predicted similar milestones repeatedly over recent years.
