We passed a milestone with little fanfare. AI is now improving itself.
- AIPedant 1y agoBy this standard we passed the milestone in the 60s when Lisp was used to build better Lisp compilers. By a more honest standard we are still a very long way away from AI suggesting new ANN architectures, new approaches to managing RLHF, better training data, new benchmarks, etc etc. LLMs are nowhere close to being able to improve themselves.
