I wonder how many versions away we are from LLM writing a better version of itself to answer a prompt it doesn't currently know how to answer

Ever since I read about Google engineers finding an LLM went off and learned another language it wasn't trained on by itself without prompting, I've wondered how long until that extends to its own core code

that could also be just marketing. OpenAI has been doing the "too dangerous to release" playbook since GPT-2 at the very least.

Huggingface didn't seem to think so.

Huggingface is a for-profit private company. They are very easily bribed, or baited into publicity stunts.

At some point the conspiracy gets so deep that an AI hacking something is just far higher probability.

We're not that deep yet. OpenAI has federal stakeholders, they're already playing dirty.

Why you would give Scam Altman the benefit of the doubt is beyond my understanding.

Right now the idea that an LLM uploads itself is unrealistic. It probably won't remain that.

Looking at the recent OAI/HF debacle I don't think that time is too far away. With that said I don't see it copying itself around like a cyberpunk virus currently as we don't have enough fast hardware sitting around unmonitored, someone would notice the power bill and shut it down eventually.

If it's able to spoof human identies it could set up a front company and use money it steals or earns to directly pay for the hardware it needs.

reasoning it's a way of self autonomous improve made by models

It started as a good idea but I couldn't continue reading since it was clearly LLM written. A lot of "It was not X, it was Y".

"Prometheus-9 knew that the token sequence it was generating was not a simple response: it was a security test. "

"It was not just an engine: it was the lingua franca of planetary AI."

(and so many other tell-tale signs of AI writing)
