This seems to be an institutional, massively scaled version of https://github.com/karpathy/autoresearch https://github.com/karpathy/autoresearch.
In March Karpathy described this direction:
The next step for autoresearch is that it has to be asynchronously massively collaborative for agents (think: SETI@home style).

Seems like Karpathy was largely focused on ML / SWE research rather than the other domains this group is after. Still, hard to imagine they were not influenced by autoresearch.
Andrej, if you're around, please share your thoughts on Discovery Loop.
- ozgung 2mo agoThat is also what I understand from that page. Autoresearch is the closest thing we (mainstream audience) know of but I am sure there is already an active research literature around it.
- eamag 2mo agoThat's a very silly comparison, there are many startups working on RSI, karpathy is just a basic version to try the concept (similar to his gpt work)
- dnnehgf 2mo agothis is like saying taylor swift must have been influenced by justin timberlake because they both dance on stage sometimes.
- crossroadsguy 2mo agoWell, your comparison now makes it less far-fetched of an analogy.
