AI Self-Improvement Risk: Recursive RLVR Could Worsen Alignment
TheZvi · x · 2026-08-15
TheZvi discusses the possibility of AI automating AI R&D, noting that if AI is trained to verify in specific places and mirror tasks, it could lead to recursive RLVR on misaligned models, potentially the worst-case scenario. This view comes from coverage of a podcast with Ryan Greenblatt and Dwarkesh.
