The entire idea of RSI is completely speculative and unproven anyway - the whole underlying claim is that you could prompt a frontier model (at some unspecified level of smarts) to "think about ways to improve your own architecture" and this would then result in the model becoming infinitely smart ("superintelligent") via some sort of foolproof, unconstrained positive feedback. It's more of a science fictiony trope than anything that has been rigorously thought through. People are actually starting to use AI for refining the whole AI serving stack and guess what, this does not result in a sudden superintelligence explosion even though you might technically call it "RSI".
