[[[ummmmmm so something tha is missing from what I’m exposed to is
figuring out those reusable patterns so as to let discovery programs
succeed
like, you can run a genetic algorithm for years on an instruction set
and it will never discover its own code
but if you compress its design into a bunch of reusable patterns with
a small total count and a small total depth, you can (somewhat easily,
see perplexity link) set it up so that it _does_ discover its own code
quite quickly, and the solution is generalizable to larger (and
larger) scopes — it’s basically how we teach children and train
animals, we break tasks into parts the recipient can handle, it’s
human to do, but not instinctive to do with code
[[[[[i actually went to an online conference around architecture
discovery and was surprised that the leading academics were still not
doing this. instead huge cash rewards were being given to tiny
advances. it really read to me like the tech was suppressed. and it’s
notable that this was _after_ covid and chatgpt dropped, so it could
have been a real overt normal suppression, for some reason classic AI
has not been discussed much any more and that’s quite obvious, it
could be because of alignment fears, unsure [[[in pre-covid I think we
were amplifying alignment fears, although hard to order the memories
