Eh regardless of all that the answer is just “yes” imo: self-improvement is a necessary step to meaningful superintelligence. Perhaps not AGI but it obviously seems like a massive help if not absolutely strictly necessary.

In a way, that’s what modern multi-stage-trained foundational models already do: improve their weights intelligently. Having the same results in human readable code (what this is a first step towards) would be a lot more powerful…
