AlphaEvolve is confirming evidence of an intelligence explosion.

The key ingredient for an intelligence explosion is AI accelerating development of AI.

This is it. It’s happening.






That's possibly a bit too general and an over statement...

Remember this approach only works for exploring an optimization for an already defined behavior of a function which has an accordingly well defined evaluation metric.

You can't write an evaluation function for each individual piece of or general "intelligence"...


I just hope there’s enough time between an actual AI and the “Let’s butcher this to pump out ads”-version to publish a definitive version of wikipedia. After a few days with gemini 2.0 delving into the guts of a spectrum analyser, I’m very impressed by the capabilities. But my cynicism gland is fed by the nature of this everything-as-a-service. To run an LLM on your computer, locally, without internet, is just a few clicks. But that’s not the direction these software behemoths are going.

Yes, but is the inflection point in 12 months or 12 years?

Either way, it's pretty wild.
