It is I promise. We have barely broken the surface of what AI can do with human designs. Right now the main limitations are compute power and data. Any explorations into alternative architectures and whatnot come with a massive opportunity cost because of these.

OpenAI alone has probably spent a billion on compute up to now. Insanity

I don’t think you guys understand, but every single week we’re improving leaps and bounds with minor tweaks and modifications to existing architecture. It would be extremely inefficient to allow the AI to try and improve itself when we have almost guaranteed improvement by humans that is only limited by how much GPU we can muster

The intelligence explosion will happen faster if we let the AI improve itself.

Not right now it won’t. We already know of ways to improve AI, but we don’t have data to allow an AI to improve itself. The only way for that would be generative design, which is by nature very wasteful and slow. Once it gets to a certain point yes, but as of right now we are far (relatively) from that
