The absurd recursion of modern AI R&D: using a frontier model to edit your own weights
TheZachMueller · x · 2026-11-03
A viral ironic take on modern AI R&D: instead of training your model on your own GPUs, you now use a frontier model — trained on trillions of tokens computed on GPUs, served on GPUs — to directly edit your model weights as it spends even more tokens thinking about how to edit them. A pointed satire of the recursive GPU dependency in today's research workflows.
