How I Used Recursive Self-Improving AI to Automate Newsletter Tasks
The author explores whether recursive self-improvement techniques used by frontier AI labs can be applied practically to automate newsletter busywork. After a week of experimentation, they find that using AI to train and continually improve a model for automating tasks is surprisingly effective, suggesting that self-improving AI isn't just for cutting-edge research labs but has practical applications for individual creators and small-scale projects.
Key quotes
Some believe it's the surest route to superintelligence—as AI improves itself in a mind-melting loop, the thinking goes, it will eventually surpass human comprehension (and perhaps even control).
Could I use AI to train and continually improve a model that automates some of this newsletter's busywork?
After a week or so of experimenting, the answer appears to be a resounding—and surprising—yes.
