Sakana AI has progressed beyond its early demonstrations. But I did not find evidence that it has established a widening research lead through sustained, accelerating RSI. Its published results support bounded self-improvement and increasingly capable orchestration. Your test asks for something stronger: does the improved researcher make the next improvement faster, cheaper, and more […]

AI leaders are talking about RSI ( recursive self improving AI) but not describing the levels of capability. People know something about self driving. Are we warning helping, autopilot, what level of automation. The AI researcher progression: Autocomplete helps me type. An intern executes my plan. A postdoc advances my project. A research leader finds … Read more

A team of researchers has discovered that mitochondrial health and location may be critical to why cognitive plasticity decreases with age. Old mammals and new tricks The adage ‘you can’t teach an

Despite considerable and growing effort put towards the development of novel means to slow and reverse aging over the past thirty years, the longest lived laboratory mice remain those lineages first established in the 1990s with mutations that disable growth hormone metabolism, such as via knockout of growth hormone or growth hormone receptor genes. These mice are small and vulnerable to cold, […]
