How is this not basically the widespread idea of recursive self improvement? This idea is simple enough that it has occurred even to me, and there is no way that, e.g. Ilya Sutskever hasn’t thought about that.
I guess the vague idea is in the water. Just never saw it stated so explicitly. Not a big deal.
