If Simon publishes evaluations of his own predictions, I'll resolve accordingly. If no evaluations are forthcoming, I may resolve based on my own judgement.

I think ā€œit will be undeniable AI can write good codeā€ will be false because the standard for ā€œgood codeā€ will shift as AI improves.

Kind of like how when LLMs got IMO Gold, and proved Erdos problem 205 those things became unimpressive.

As long as there are AI haters and AI exists at a level that isn’t clearly superhuman, there’s going to be lots of people saying it’s bad at what it’s doing.
