Not so shocking. If AI can analyze human brains and detect tumors from X-rays, why couldn't it see something wrong with its weights?

This is fucking insane LMFAO what?

I always thought RSI would either require new architectural innovations or just classic science/engineering improvements, just faster and faster. This though, this is a third avenue I didn't see coming.

Absurd. We tend to anthropomorphize LLMs, but I've never heard of man editing his own thoughts consciously like this.

Recursive self-improvement getting here quicker than many people thought. I'm sure many will be recalibrating P(doom) because of this.

About the writing network tech, that just reimplement formal logic in network form right? I mean, it can do much better play the game using python, so what's the point? At least make it write an functional network completing LeNet to make it count. For now I just think its just somewhat an extra component for ReserveEngineerAnything

I’m more surprised by how many commenters here just go hyping and vibing without actually reading the article.

kind of concerning from a “remove this models guardrails and inhibitions about [X]” perspective

Can we ask Astra to find if any open weights model is secretly distilled from frontier AI models as claimed by BigTech AI labs using this open neural weights surgery technique?

Did this weight space programming break any other skills of the Qwen model being operated? Should the small open weights models be now protected from frontier beast models?

Guess this is RSI in a nutshell
