@futurebird@sauropods.win what's wrong with being a doomer on AI? I've been an AI skeptic for the longest time, but since I've still been doing transformer research in the meantime, I've seen it progress from irrelevance to being on the cusp of recursive self improvement. It doesn't matter it's now not fully capable of RSI, but the ratchet effect of RSI means it's too late to worry about it after it's been achieved

@budududuroiu@hachyderm.io Forgive me for being a little cynical about "and then RSI will happen" but it's not like this hasn't been tried before. In robotics there was a lot of excitement about "let's just make a robot then have it evolve a way to move the motors to do the task" this could work in very limited demo settings, but to really solve a problem it's just a big mess, this kind of random variation problem solving is just a lot slower than just writing it yourself.
