Blog: recursive self-improvement and AI scientists for semi-well-defined problems
rishabh16_ · x · 2026-10-20
- The author surveys recent initiatives on recursive self-improvement and lays out his thoughts in a short blog post.
- Core question: how do we accumulate experience with LLMs to solve problems better — a thread he says he stumbled into back in 2024.
- He frames a spectrum from well-defined to semi-well-defined problems, arguing experience accumulation is a key step toward building AI scientists capable of handling the latter.
