So you are saying in the end of that piece that chess players came out stronger?

You know how? Because AI is forbidden in tournaments and there are plenty of idle rich sponsors in Chess (it is popular among autocrats).

So you are envisioning a future of software development where we have coding competitions sponsored by MBS where AI is forbidden?

Like your Pelican meme, which is designed to cutify AI, this is propaganda of the highest order.

Hahaha, this is the first time I've seen the pelican thing described as "propaganda"!

One of the main reasons I do the pelican thing is that it's making fun of the industry:

1. The smartest model in the world still draws pelicans riding bicycles worse than a five year old.

2. It highlights how absurd the task of comparing these models is. Oh, so it scored 78 on Terminal Bench 2.1? It also drew a crap pelican.

That was an off-the-cuff remark on the podcast which I included in the transcript. It's not my overall thesis.

I believe that the average elo of players is increasing since powerful chess AI / Go AI.
