Description

Hey, if we haven’t met—I’m Julia McCoy, your guide to the AI frontier. In this episode, we’re diving into OpenAI’s bombshell announcement: AI coders could surpass all humans by 2025. Buckle up—this isn’t sci-fi. Sam Altman just revealed how GPT models went from ranking one millionth to top 50 globally in coding… and why #1 is closer than you think.


Key Topics We Break Down:




  • 🚀 The AI Coding Race: From OpenAI’s “millionth-best programmer” in 2023 to a projected #1 ranking THIS YEAR—the exponential leap no one saw coming.




  • ⚙️ 3 Breakthroughs Driving This: Test-time compute, verifiable rewards, and AI models that teach themselves (think AlphaGo, but for code).




  • 💼 Future of Work: Why Sam Altman says engineers won’t be replaced—but augmented. Plus, the economic tsunami ahead (hint: luxury goods vs. land prices).




  • 🛠️ What Developers Should Do: Mid-level tasks? Automated. High-level design? Priceless. Why hybrid human-AI teams are the next gold rush.




Spoiler: This isn’t the end of coding—it’s the birth of a new kind of programmer.
