Newbie question, what size model would be needed to have a 10x software engineer skills and no knowledge of the human kind (ie, no need to know how to make a pizza or sequence your DNA). Is there such a model?

No, not yet. And such LLM wouldn't speak back in English or French without some "knowledge of the human kind" as you put it.

10x relative to what? I’ve seen bad developers use AI to 10x their productivity but they still couldn’t come anywhere close to a good developer without AI (granted, this was at a hackathon on pretty advanced optimization research. Maybe there’s more impact on lower skilled tasks)

  A bad dev using AI is now 10 times more productive at writing bad code

    does the code run? does it do anything unexpected?
    - acedTrex 2y ago
      yes, and also yes

        can you make a profit before and apologise after without any cost?

Most code is grounded in real-world concepts somehow. Imagine an engineer at Domino's asking it to write an ordering app. Now your model needs to know what goes in to a pizza.

So long as you don't mind glue in your pizza...

Not yet. But, Nvidia's CEO announced a few months ago that we're about 5 years away. And, OpenAI just this week announced Super Intelligence is up to 2000 days (e.g. around 5 years) away.
