Had @RyanGreenblatt on to discuss/debate recursive self-improvement. This might be the most important question in the world right now - whether within a year or so of achieving human level intelligence, you slingshot towards having 10s of billions of superintelligences, each of…↗
understanding progress on RSI is one of the most important things we can do to chart the future. @danrobinson and I made a game and explorer based on economic models of AI research, to make the inputs and constraints that define RSI more intuitive. paradigm.xyz/research/rsi/?…↗
The bottleneck for AI progress was never compute, it was always the verifier. Recursive self-improvement is limited by verification, not computation. Compute buys proposals - verifiers buy knowledge. My second post on the recent OpenAI math results medium.com/@vishalmisra/t…↗
Lilian Weng, the Thinking Machines cofounder who announced her departure earlier this week, citing startup-related stress and illness, is rejoining OpenAI. She'll be working on using AI to develop new models (recursive self-improvement). w/ @amir …↗
Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor. It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. anthropic.com/institute/recu…↗
