I have never thought about how the recursive nature of these models could potentially lead to an explosion of intelligence, and it is even more shocking to see how easily this can happen. It seems that based on the information on this post, if Artificial Super Intelligence is achieved, it would likely be developed by an existing AI model rather than humans?
My whole life I have tried to picture how technology will grow, and until now I have always guessed it would be a steady increase with some periods of rapid growth followed by periods of stagnant growth. However, this post has blown that perspective out of the water and has opened my eyes to how ASI can, at almost any time, be reached so fast humans wont even have time to realize it's dangers until they are changing our lives.

The whole discussion is completely flawed right from the first step! Current AI architectures relate to concepts of 'intelligence' and 'self consciousness' like a virus relates to a living cell: https://theafh.substack.com/p/what-viruses-can-teach-us-about-ai?r=42gt5
