Eliezer Yudkowsky: EURISKO may still be the most sophisticated self-improving AI ever built
Why is that, do you think? Eurisko was written a quarter-century ago, and is not exactly obscure. Have people not tried to build a better Eurisko, or have they tried and failed?
In my experience with people in humanities, output strings like "_unimportant old publication_ may still be the most comprehensive writing on the topic of XYZ" are seldom a product of some sort of familiarity with said publication or the topic of XYZ.
