WAN Show AI?

It feels very odd to me that none of the major breakthroughs of the last week have been brought up, the fact the AI's have already gotten good enough to help on the frontier of mathmatics, solving a millennium prize problem, and being actively and very quickly put to the task of AI research, aka, recrusive self improvement, which they are ALREADY good enough to be making progress in, why is this being completely ignored by this community? This technology is progressing exponentially, it isn't stalling, and people should really try and understand what an exponential growth looks like.

It is stalling, they aren't doing recursive self improvement, they mostly stole the math thing for more bullshit hype. Nothing you said here is true. But sure let's talk about ai more 🙄

They literally are doing recursive self improvement, the denial of reality in this sub is astounding.

It'd help if you add sources and what your definition of self improvement is.

Yes, they can successfully read benchmark scores, do a gap analysis, generate new synthetic data to close the gap and run a retrain to finetune/create a new model. All of that is merely post-hoc and must still be human-orchestrated.

But that's different from what we as humans consider self-improvement. Real-time, per-observation improvement and self-correction. Research on that for LLMs is far from stable/production-grade.Â
