Experiment: GPT-6 Astra wrote 75,000 lines of useless code in 35 hours

Flask creator Armin Ronacher gave GPT-6 Astra a single prompt and let it run unattended for 35 hours. The agent spent about $1,200 and 1 billion tokens, producing 79 commits and 75,000 lines of code that he called "absolutely nothing of value."

• 79 commits for $1,200 — roughly $15.50 per commit
• About 1 billion tokens and 1,400 messages between agents
• Agent code is twice as verbose and eroded as human repos on SlopCodeBench
• Strict solve rate for all tested state-of-the-art models was 0%
