Representative Jay Obernolte calls for federal AI monitoring, warning of catastrophic risks from recursive self-improvement

Original post

Important comment from Representative Obernolte on risks from recursive self improvement and loss of control. Despite important disagreements on preemption, I have a lot of respect for the expertise and hard work he brings to Congressional debates on these issues.

Rep @JayObernolte is right - AI loss of control caused by recursive self-improvement is a huge concern that the government should be monitoring.
