Are you sure that was not iterative improvement?
- password54321 1mo agoUsing tools to build tools is recursive.
- HarHarVeryFunny 1mo agoIt's not recursive when it's done iteratively, or are you imagining GPT Astra designing GPT Galactia, which starts designing GPT Oh-My-God-ica before it has finished being created itself?
- 0x63_Problems 1mo agoI think it's only recursive from the perspective of the humans, i.e. they design Astra, which itself as part of its deployment designs Galactica, etc. So humans develop things one after the other, but when the thing itself starts developing new things, those are happening 'recursively' in its scope.
- itishappy 1mo agoThat sounds more iterative than recursive. Recursion requires feeding the output back into the input, so creating version 4 requires results from version 3. You cannot recur in parallel. Iteration does not. You can iterate in parallel.
- HarHarVeryFunny 1mo agoYou can search in parallel, but a depth N search can only become a depth N+1 search after the depth N is done (i.e. sequentially). In any case the name RSI has stuck - the idea doesn't change or make any more sense by giving it a different name.
- itishappy 1mo agoBecause "depth" is recursive. You can search twice without waiting for the results of your first search: iteration. You can't if the thing you need to search for is the results of your first search: recursion.
- HarHarVeryFunny 1mo agoHere's the concept. Version 1 -> Version 2 -> Version 3 -> ... You can call it krispy kreme donuts if you want to.
- josh-sematic 1mo agoThe “recursive” part comes from the fact that you have an AI which was developed by an AI (that was developed by an AI (that was developed by an AI (…)))
- HarHarVeryFunny 1mo agoSounds like "recursively" walking to the grocery store by putting one foot in front of the other (that put itself in front of the other (that put itself in front of the other (...)))
- adastra22 1mo agoWhat is the difference between?
- topaz0 1mo agoIteration and recursion are famously equivalent
