> I don’t think they can yet self improve exponentially without human intuition yet
I agree: if they could, they would be doing it already.
Case in point: one of the first things done once ChatGPT started getting popular was "auto-gpt"; roughly, let it loose and see what happens.
The same thing will happen to any accessible model in the future. Someone, somewhere will ask it to self-improve/make as much money as possible, with as little leashes as possible. Maybe even the labs themselves do that, as part of their post-training ops for new models.
Therefore, we can assume that if the existing models _could_ be doing that, they _would_ be doing that.
That doesn't say anything about new models released 6 months or 2 years from now.
