alt Hacker NewsIt's literally the infinite monkey theorem, it's not even really a strategy per se. These OpenAI/Anthropic "research" LLMs are permutation machines with budgets in the hundreds of millions of dollars. It would be more surprising if they couldn't string together something workable after a zillion tokens.

No it's not. You could wait till the heat death of the universe and your infinite monkeys will have produced nothing at all. If it works and it's stupid, it's not stupid. They needed in huggingface and they got in in days. Whining about 'elegance' is meaningless. Humans in the same situation might have taken weeks or months, or just not have gotten in at all.
