RSI debate flaw: Astra and Mythos were both compute scale-ups, undercutting algorithm-driven recursive self-improvement
1a3orn · x · 2026-09-07
Discussions of recursive self-improvement must account for the fact that both Astra and Mythos were, by most accounts, large compute scale-ups. The core argument: the more capability gains come from compute scaling, the less likely an intense algorithm-fueled RSI becomes — a counterintuitive data point against the rapid AI-flywheel narrative.
