METR Paper Explores Accelerating Effects of AI Recursive Self-Improvement

A new paper from METR explores the accelerating effects of Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI) in AI, investigating whether stronger AI can drive algorithmic progress into a self-sustaining loop. The researchers note that such feedback loops significantly complicate future AI capability predictions, concluding that continuous acceleration cannot be ruled out.
