How will AIs train on new tech without new data to train on? On the bright side, maybe that means the end of new javascript frameworks every 6 months :)

- Chance-Device 4mo agoI think they’ll be writing that new tech, and will be able to read the source code, and reason from first principles. I doubt they will need human generated training data.
- MattPalmer1086 4mo agoI thought training new models on AI generated output leads to model collapse?
- Chance-Device 4mo agoMy point is more that they won’t need new training data to extrapolate to new problems, especially if that new problem is just a new syntax or API. Put the whole shebang into the context. Done. Yes, you need super long context for this, or just pretty good search over it, but I think this is likely to become a solved problem.
- MattPalmer1086 4mo agoAgreed if its just a new API using a current language using common patterns, that is mostly just having a big context. However, the ability to reason generally on novel problems is AGI and we aren't there yet. Eventually in the absence of AGI, we will have to train models on them, and that will require data.
- aytigra 4mo agoI think it case of coding it may not be as bad, because new training data (AI generated code) is always empirically validated by tooling and by consumer. It may not be good but it mostly works, otherwise it is discarded or patched, so it has a bottom bar of "it works".
- mikert89 4mo agoDo you understand reinforcement learning environments? This already a solved problem
- charcircuit 4mo agoIf needed it can synthetically create the datasets. There isn't a need for software engineers to make a dataset when AI could even more easily put one together.
