Yeah, the same time the singularity happens, and then your smallest problem will be eons bigger than your job.

But LLMs can’t solve a sudoku, so I wouldn’t be too afraid.

They are pretty close. LLMs can write the code the solve a sudoku, or leverage an existing solver, and execute the code. Agent frameworks are going to push the boundaries here over the next few years.

It’s literally part of its training data. The same way it knows how to solve leetcode, etc.
