On the other hand, I'm baffled to encounter recursive self-improvement being discussed as something not only weird to expect, but as damning evidence of sloppy thinking by those who speculate about it.
We have an existence proof for intelligence that can improve AI: humans.
If AI ever gets to human-level intelligence, it would be quite strange if it couldn't improve itself.
Are people really that sceptical that AI will get to human level intelligence?
It that an insane belief worthy of being a primary example of a community not thinking clearly?
Come on! There is a good chance AI will recursively self-improve! Those poo pooing this idea are the ones not thinking clearly.
