Three wild predictions after MIT's weight-space programming work
Yuchenj_UW · x · 2026-11-03
Reacting to MIT's weight-space programming work, the author makes three "wild" predictions:
- Weights as a programming language that AI can understand but humans can't.
- Training and inference merge: like a human brain, AI could continuously rewrite its own weights while thinking.
- A new path to recursive self-improvement: AIs directly editing each other's weights, evolving together without backpropagation.
