Before we get to recursive self-improvement, there is a slightly awkward intermediate step nobody seems very interested in: AI has to know what the hell is happening to itself while it is working. Current frontier models can be extraordinarily capable, but they still do not have reliable introspective access to their own internal processes. They cannot simply inspect themselves and tell you: - what exactly made this reasoning attempt succeed, - which internal bottleneck is limiting them right now, - where more compute would actually help, - which lesson from the last attempt should become persistent knowledge, - whether an apparent improvement is real or just overfitting to an evaluator, - or which part of themselves should be changed to become better next time. We keep compensating for this from the outside. We give them scaffolds. Memory systems. Evaluators. Agent loops. Tooling. Sandboxes. Human feedback. External search. Carefully designed environments that decide what they are allowed to modify and what counts as success. And some of this works remarkably well. But notice what that means. We are not yet watching an intelligence calmly understand its own machinery and recursively redesign itself. We are building increasingly elaborate machinery around an intelligence that cannot reliably see its own machinery. That may eventually lead to recursive self-improvement. Maybe surprisingly quickly. But “the model is very smart” and “the system can autonomously understand, manage, and improve the process that makes it smart” are not the same capability. There is a rather large missing arrow between them. So whenever I see another prediction that the Singularity may arrive next Tuesday, I keep wondering: Who, exactly, is going to know what to improve on Wednesday? submitted by /u/CarefulHamster7184 [link] [留言]

I've been trying to implement a speech to text app using .Net and C#, but it seems that there is no way to simply download a model (e.g. Whisper or Wav2Vec2) and directly call it the way you can in Python. Instead I'm told I need to write all the pre-processing, adding complex code into the application. I've been trying avoid using Python (for good reasons), but it feels like the ONNX route is just too complicated. Am I missing something, like a good library that can do the pre-processing, or a model that has good built in support for .Net? Edit: Found out about whisper.net, which avoids using ONNX completely and just works. Similar libraries exist for other models, so this is the route I'm going, as creating pipelines is really complex and introduces to much risk. submitted by /u/SecondCobra [link] [留言]

I have been using video generation models for a long time, especially Seedance 2.5. I find the understanding of prompt is still very weak even in the strongest model. One most ridiculously simple mistake is Seedance misspelled the words in the video. I think I can fix it with emphasizing it. But it failed again. LLM may hit a wall now but apparently video generation model has not. submitted by /u/AthleteArtistic3121 [link] [留言]

Anyone else actually dealt with this? Is it overblown, or am I missing something? submitted by /u/Positive-Ad3618 [link] [留言]

Hi! Not sure if this community is suitable for this, if not, please let me know and I will take it down. My parents love sharing online content with me, we love animals so a lot of that is cute animal stuff, and lately I've been getting a lot of AI cats. I gave them some hints so they spot the obvious ones but not all the time. We haven't yet had an election cycle with AI content being this common, and it scares me a bit. I appreciate your support! submitted by /u/hakansan [link] [留言]

Chatbots took many schools by surprise upon their release a few years ago. Suddenly, students carried an app in their phones that could magically answer almost any…

You probably know how it goes: you give a complex prompt to a LLM, it spits out a highly confident answer, and you just sort of... hope it’s right. If you ask the same question in a different tab, Claude might give you a completely different answer. Gemini might say they are both wrong. I've done it this way for a long time, and many of my friends seem to do the same. I wanted to see what happens if you don't just compare answers, but actually bring AI models into a shared chat to discuss the question together. Here is how it went when they could discuss each other's replies in real-time: - ChatGPT went first. It wrote a beautiful, highly structured, and completely wrong answer. It hallucinated a tax rule that didn't apply to the prompt. - Claude stepped in next. It immediately flagged GPT’s tax hallucination, but overcorrected and messed up the final math equation. - Gemini acted as the final Judge. It took ChatGPT’s original structure, applied Claude’s logical correction, fixed the math, and spat out a flawless final output. The takeaway: Letting an AI model review itself is like a student grading their own work. It just repeats the same assumptions. When you force different models (OpenAI vs Anthropic vs Google) to fact-check each other, they actually expose each other's blind spots and hallucinations. I got so obsessed with this multi-AI workflow that I built a site to let these models debate in real-time without having to copy-paste between different tabs (I posted about it earlier here). If anyone wants to try it or testing their own complex questions, curious to hear what kind of workflows you guys would use it for. submitted by /u/capibara13 [link] [留言]

Asgaut Mjølne Söderbom and Ola Hast discuss the evolution of their software engineering practices past continuous deployment and pair engineering. The conversation continues where it left off in the previous episode and focuses on the experiments in adopting Claude Code and the reasons why they consider it good for everything else, but not coding.

The deepfake epidemic in schools is affecting more than students. Four teachers tell WIRED about becoming targets of sexualized, AI-generated content—and how difficult it was to find accountability.

People have been talking to each other for at least 100,000 years, as best we can tell. And in all that time, there has been only one thing in the world that could learn a human language to perfect fluency: a human child. Now there are two. Four short years after the release of ChatGPT,…

Cheap energy, abundant land, and proximity to Beijing have turned a city in Inner Mongolia into a crucial hub for data centers.

Architecture is not a fixed choice made once; fitness is a moving target driven by changing regulations, tech, and markets. Even a sound design can silently stop fitting over time without bad calls. Spanning seven articles on context stores, gateways, and topologies, this collection treats architecture as an evolving sociotechnical craft where teams deliberately shape friction, fitness, and flow.

Dan Finneran discusses the risks of unowned AI-generated code in production and demonstrates how eBPF can intercept and control AI API traffic in Kubernetes. He explains how kernel-level socket hooks enable transparent prompt filtering, model swapping, token limits, and syscall restrictions to secure AI agents without modifying application source code or restarting containers.

Technology leaders don’t seem to understand society’s gripes about AI, but boy, are they posting through it.

“Runaway” AI, “rogue” agents, and “autonomous” actors—the current rhetoric would have you believe that AI agents are not only awake and aware, but angry at their creators. Prominent tech leaders such as Demis Hassabis, Dario Amodei, and Sam Altman push for regulation of these seemingly “superhuman” systems, while a separate faction, led by policy organizations…

InfoQ has opened enrollment for the InfoQ Certified AI-Assisted Engineering Program, a five-week online certification program for senior engineers and architects who already run a coding agent against production code daily, where the open questions have moved past prompting into what the agent is allowed to touch and what catches its mistakes before a human does.

Artificial intelligence (AI) makes all code write-only,. It’s too dense to read, and tests define the behaviour and become the documentation. Code is also disposable; it becomes easier to rewrite than to debug. Humans can't review AI-generated code at scale. Intent decouples from implementation; developers should focus on creativity.
