Congrats on finishing the challenge!
And sorry about the slowness; we had more demand than expected and the competition servers did not respond well to the load.
Oh I came in 8th in the @OpenAI Codex challenge! Yay free t-shirt :D
Not at all a reflection of my programming ability (the system was super glitchy in the beginning – I suspect a lot of people just left). But I'm super super impressed by Codex [1/]
Just wrote a web scraper for my own blog using @OpenAI Codex in few mins.
Worked well with just a couple of lines of change.
It even used the prompts to comment on the relevant code.
My personal favorite of our Codex examples — a program written in Python, which rewrites itself into Ruby, which rewrites itself into Python, which rewrites itself into Ruby, ad infinitum.
Writing it felt like writing a new kind of quine (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quine_…).
The new @OpenAI Codex model is a pretty exciting piece of technology.
Here I made a @Blender add-on and taught it how to use the built in Python API.
Taking creative coding to the next level!!
I think Codex will cause far more people to become programmers, and make it much more fun to write software (certainly that's been my experience so far!):
Codex shines when it comes to completing operations that are easy to express but hard to remember the exact syntax or library call for.
A demo of Codex speeding me up to fetch, transform, and plot data using Pandas:
With the buzz mounting around @OpenAI Codex, @Merzmensch took the improved version of the model (currently in beta) for a spin, and reports back on his experience. buff.ly/2VBKfq5
I’m already doing real-world work with OpenAI Codex.
Here’s a demo of a React component I generated with a simple sentence.
With TypeScript.
Using my specified UI library.
Codex is amazing.
