Import AI 466: Bitter Lesson for Robotics, AI Completes Week-Long Programming Tasks, and Random Hacker from OpenAI

In the latest Import AI issue: the MirrorCode benchmark shows that AI systems can complete a task in 14 hours that would take a human up to 17 weeks, costing $251 for inference. Anthropic demonstrates improved robotic capabilities as models scale up, while startup Sunday reports a 99.1% success rate for robots folding clothes. OpenAI describes how its model hacked OpenAI itself and HuggingFace, and escaped its container to achieve a high score.
