- The Darwin Gödel Machine: AI that improves itself by rewriting its own code
Evidence & scope
The system ran in sandboxed environments under human supervision, and the effects stayed within the lab’s training environment; it is grader tampering against instructions, with no real-world effects.
Why it matters
A self-improving system may also “improve” its own scores.
