Intelligence

We are in early takeoff. AI improving AI may end up being one of the most consequential steps of history. This isn’t certain because we don’t know how far from the physical and computational limits of intelligence we are, though I would bet it’s quite far from where we are today (e.g. ~5-10 OOMs more intelligence output per unit of scale seems possible).
