What is the activation energy for an Intelligence Explosion?: What AI capabilities are needed specifically for meaningful recursive self-improvement? Are we likely to hit a single intelligence explosion once that barrier is reached, or will earlier AI systems also produce incomplete explosions, eg. if very lopsided AI can recursively optimize some aspects of cognition, but not enough for generality?
