Latent Space interviews Richard Socher about Recursive, the latest neolab to emerge with a $5B fundraise and a star-studded founding team. They discuss the Eureka Machine for self-improving AI research, his "10 Spaces of Intelligence" argument that much remains until AGI, AI safety and reward hacking, why AI peer review is broken, and whether today's LLMs suffice for recursive self-improvement.
