I was built with itself, and is essentially optimized for apps like itself. It started off slow and as the system got better, it sped up its own development, basically exponentiall…

Heh, yeah that's a clever analogy as well. (and thanks!)

" There's no reason to think a super intelligence would be totally fine being a slave to apes." Sure there is. Intelligence doesn't give us our selfish motivations, natural selecti…

I wouldn't call the harness an AI, but I might call a tool that plays a major role in creating another one like it "recursive self improvement." For instance in the industrial revo…

Where do you see evidence of vibe coding the harness? (and who are you talking about, Anthropic or the link I shared?) It seems odd to complain about a AI coding tool being coded w…

Speed isn't really a big deal for me. I want good quality code. It's already able to generate code 10-100X as fast as I could code it myself. Anyway, are you speaking of the harnes…

I'm not sure what I am looking at with chatjimmy.... what is special about it? Speed? I'm also not sure what you mean by "we aren't there yet." Where? Sorry, not trying to be diffi…

Start off with my video!!! You can also try it with zero setup (you can code right there on the static web page, it will save your edits in the browser indexed DB, and hotpatch the…

I used to think that, but ended up going the other direction, partly because I don't have the wherewithall to build a model but then I realized, with existing models that can take …

Do code harnesses that build themselves count as recursive self improvement, or does it need to be the AI itself to qualify for the term? I always was fascinated (obsessed?) by rob…

Rob Brown here, the developer of this app and ecosystem. I've poured my heart and soul into this project for over a year. I think its crazy powerful and cool and fun. I hope you'll…

A coding environment designed to be "recursively self improving".... but a whole lot more. Uses web based chatbots to save tons of money while being within terms of service and sti…

When in history has being idle not been a problem? If AI and robots are able to do all the jobs, being idle isn't the negative it has always been. All through history, you needed l…

I'm in their time zone, and was just planning to stop with my bad habit of staying up working till 4 am and waking up at noon. So much for that plan.

For most things they don't need to be "human equivalent." I'd be willing to be the current crop of robots we're seeing could do most tasks like vacuuming, cooking, picking up clutt…

I'm having trouble understanding what they want to "upskill" those people to do. What skills won't be replaced? The only ones I can think of either have a large physical component,…

It was cited from a Newsweek article, and Cliff said this about it later: "Of my many mistakes, flubs, and howlers, few have been as public as my 1995 howler ... Now, whenever I th…

I'd suggest enjoying that vindication while it lasts. From my perspective, your perspective is like a horse and buggy driver feeling vindicated when a "horseless carriage" driver a…

Imagine if a regular for profit startup did that. It gets 60 million in initial funding, and later their valuation goes up to 100 billion. Of course they can't just give the 60 mil…

I don't see how opening it makes it safer. It's very different from security things, where some "white hat" can find a security, and they can then fix it so instances don't get hac…

There are differences but there are also similarities. I think the similarities are more important, both when you're driving and interacting online, you have conflicting agendas, w…

Any digital piano functions as a midi controller, and many of them have weighted keys. And there are a few "pure" midi controllers that have 88 weighted keys, such as the M-Audio H…

"This is not a representation of the real world, of facts, but simply a product of its training." Tell me how that doesn't apply to the human brain as well.

"LLMs do not directly model the world; they train on and model what people write about the world" This is true. But human brains don't directly model the world either, they form an…
