As ai improves, most tasks will become something like this. Environments setup where the model learns through trial and error
Any human endeavor that can be objectively verified in some environment like this can be completely automated
- NitpickLawyer 7mo agoWhat's really interesting is that the LLMs become better and better at setting up the environments / tasks themselves. I got this surreal experience the other day where I was writing a prompt0n.md file (I try to log all my prompts in a .folder to keep track of what I prompt and the results I get), and the autocomplete in antigravity kinda sorta wrote the entire prompt by itself... Granted it had all the previous prompts in the same folder (don't know exactly what it grabs in context by itself) and I was working on the next logical step, but it kept getting the "good bits" out of them, and following the pattern quite nicely. I only edited minor things, and refused one line completion in the entire prompt.
- cubefox 7mo agoIt's probably not long till frontier AI companies automate AI research. Then we get recursive self-improvement and eventually superintelligence. The singularity is near. Only a few years perhaps.
- aaa_aaa 7mo agoForgot the /s
- cubefox 7mo agoShort for /superintelligence.
- 10xDev 7mo agoAI currently lacks agency but if it can achieve greater goal setting and agency I can't see why self-improvement could not be achieved. I think the most disappointing thing will be that even we do achieve ASI, everything will carry on as business as usual for a while before it starts making an economic impact because of how resistant to change we have made society.
- Lerc 7mo agoThis is something that I have been wondering about. SuperIntelligence or not, it's clear that significant change is going to happen. There are a lot of people working on the cause of the change. There are a lot of people criticising the nature of the change. There are a lot of people rejecting the change. How many are there preparing the world for the change? Some form of change is coming, how are we preparing society to deal with what is happening? Job losses due to technology have happened over and over again. Rendering particular forms of employment redundant (typing pools, clearing horse manure, Video rental store workers, and of course, the loom). Most agree that the world is better when those are jobs that need to be done. It's the livelihood of the workers that is the concern. Instead of fighting the change we need to address the inevitability of change the responsibility to those who it will affect.
- vidarh 7mo agoI'm currently working on a project that is self-improving most of the time. Most of the plans for next steps are written by the agent itself, and executed by the agent itself, and the result feeds into choosing which plans to pursue next. It's not 100% autonomous yet, but self-improvement loops are real, and essential to getting the most out of AI.
- wiz21c 7mo agodon't forget the size of the search space...
- miki123211 7mo agoSo much this. People make fun of prompt engineering, but I think "AI ops" will eventually become a real role at most if not all software companies. Harness Engineers and Agent Reliability Engineers will be just as important as something like DevOps is now.
- vrighter 7mo agoit's called reinforcement learning
- jononor 7mo agoMany "subjective" tasks can also be done in an "objective" manner - as long as there is a large enough dataset to estimate what humans would evaluate the outputs - and the evaluators being reasonably consistent. Many human preferences are relatively homogeneous, or sometimes clustered into groups. And there are whole fields of study/practice of such phenomena, such as sensory science - with applications in food, audio, images etc.
