Don't even need trials apparently.
Talking about Alpha Evolve https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/alphaevolve-a-gemini-powered-coding-agent-for-designing-advanced-algorithms/ ?
First, Microsoft isn't using this yet but even if they were it doesn't work in this context. What Google did was they wrote a fitness function to tune the Generative process. Why not have some rubric that scores the code as our fitness function? Because the function needs to be continuous for this to work well, no sudden cliffs. But also they didn't address how this would work in a multi-objective space, this technique doesn't let the LLM make reasonable trade offs between complexity and speed.
The point is to get open source maintainers to further train their program because they already scraped all our code. I wonder if this will become a larger trend among corporate owned open source projects.
How do they expect to reign in AI's "unchecked power and autonomy" when we hardly do that for corporations or billionaires?
And by extension, your opinion is not my problem to fix.
My city of Fresno does not have enough beds, so maybe that is true for wealthier cities with lower unhoused rates. The beds offered are sometimes less safe than the street: https://calmatters.org/housing/2025/02/california-homeless-shelters-purgatory/
Was the paper optimizing for multiple objectives? Sounds like this project is pursuing some features that haven't been proven
It's important to understand that any argument against improving one's material conditions is going to be rightfully ignored. Better to point out that without removing the yoke of power, any concessions can be easily removed.
Yet roads and lines of communication make a socialist transition more likely. Almost like the material conditions matter, regardless of the political context.
Cool, now do public education and public roads.
It was a system of checks and balances, but the Democrats went along with consolidating power. So while yes, they aren't the direct cause, they were the adults in the room and they failed in that responsibility.
