VraserX · x · 2026-09-12
VraserX argues that if AI research eventually becomes mostly AI agents improving other AI systems, there won't be one clean moment where everyone agrees recursive self-improvement began. We'll likely notice only after the feedback loop is already doing most of the work — a gradual, hindsight-recognized shift rather than a marked event.
