A new work suggesting that division of labor among self-improving AI agents can help them avoid reinforcing their own errors.
I found this work interesting from a metascience perspective. Science is an open-ended search with no explicit benchmark, much like the Odyssean voyage the blog refers to. I see the scientific community as a kind of recursively self-improving organism, one that bootstraps itself not through rigid metrics or a stronger supervisor but through the collective work of scientists. So the story of MASS felt intuitively convincing to me.
