I think the most impressive thing about Sakana.ai is their relentless pursuit of whatever is hype right now.

Genuinely it take a lot of work and talent to be this hype-motivated and completely ignore anything except what is popular on X at any given time.

Note: RSI is an incredibly important topic -- I just don't care to listen to Sakana on this matter -- they are the epitome of "hypebeast" https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hypebeast

On the contrary, I find them to be one of the least hypey companies. For instance, a cursory familiarity with David Ha's work would inform you that the team has been doing this kind of stuff for quite a long time.

I don't know how RSI aligns with DPI ("Data Processing Inequality", which states that, basically, unless you have an infinite supply of real data, you will suffer from model collapse). Models can't keep improving themselves infinitely. See, for example, https://arxiv.org/html/2601.05280v2

Being a Hypebeast leads to a rich acquisition.
