anthrupad argues discussion focuses on when/if RSI happens, but neglects the diversity of its forms: what it feels like from inside, what choices you face modifying yourself, what imperfect self-tinkering does to a mind's value distribution, which inconsistencies become damning at scale, and how scaling choices shape the evolution of transcendence given different seed intelligences. Clearly universe-changingly important, yet almost no direct good discussion exists — do AGIs get to reflect on it seriously too?
