No. Programs cannot reprogram themselves in a useful way and are very very far from it.

Then how does polymorphic/self-modifying code work?

[–] amki@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

It doesn't or do you have serious applications for self-modifying code?

Eh, I'd say continuous training models are pretty close to this. Adapting to changing conditions and new input is kinda what they're for.
