Douglas Hofstadter

“Yes. I I love Douglas Hofstadter. So so there's this kind of self modeling and then second order self modeling and third order self modeling which could be applied to other agents and of course, know, in in the real world, we are computationally bounded.”

Because as you say, like, we're we're we're building the AI and then the AI is helping us build better kernels, better software, better hardware, which then in turn makes the AI better and then, you know, you get this this kind of loop.

You know, there's this path dependence idea. So we need to do supervision because we have the path dependence so we can guide the generation of the language models.

It was using Sonnet 3.5, and you had about 4 iterations, I think. And and, essentially, you you know, you were working on the ARC challenge, you were producing these programs through evolution.

We know that we have certain things we can compose, and we know that we can compose them in certain topologies, and we know that invariably if we follow that trajectory, we will land on interesting things, even though we don't necessarily know exactly what we will land on.
