AI circles debate RSI: measuring recursive self-improvement 'turns it dumb'
repligate · x · 2026-11-10
anthrupad argues with repligate that trendlines tracking recursive self-improvement (RSI) are just noisy attempts to concretize a conceptual vision: RSI is complex enough that any attempt to make it measurable ends up kind of dumb, and reacting to those measurements as if they capture the real thing is equally misguided.
