I am personally quite interested to see how many Codex-wrapper-for-VSCode projects we see. It's the one project every single engineer on HN has considered. (Same goes for the GPT3 text generation flavor, the "autocomplete for Gmail/Chrome/whatever" ones).
What makes it interesting is everyone knows there will be thousands. So the people who decide to continue anyway will presumably have some significant ideas for post-processing.
It's interesting in a game theory sense.
Yes... many of these will be the obvious (generate 5 suggestions and rank them with a different neural net, similar to what Google is doing internally, etc.)
But a small portion will do interesting things. (I know my personal daydreaming session on the topic ended with many pages of possible approaches.)
There are MANY novel applications or approaches possible beyond simply "wrap Codex, add stack-specific context to the prompt, re-rank with secondary model".
I think some of the wrappers will actually succeed. But there will be so many (I predict it being a popular course project for CS classes etc).
