alt Hacker NewsI support the no global leaderboard. I was in 7th place last year but quickly got bored maintaining the aggressive AI pipeline required to achieve that. If I wanted to maintain pipelines I'd just do work, and there will never be a good way to prevent people from using AI like this. Advent of Code should be fun, thank you for continuing to do it. I'm looking forward to casually playing this year!

The FAQ was pretty clear about not using AI to get on the leaderboard last year.

"It was boring to run a cycling contest on a motorbike."
Although there are now rumours of hidden motors in Tour de France bicycles. So, I guess it's the same.
It was pretty boring trying to place against aggressive AI pipelines like yours throughout the explicit requests not to use them[1]. I’m sorry to hear it became boring for you too.
