AGI's Presumed Benefit
- AGI's presumed benefit is superhuman acceleration in intelligence.
- This acceleration would lead to rapid problem-solving.
Foundation Models and Escape Velocity
- Foundation models need increasing data, similar to the tyranny of the rocket equation.
- Self-sustaining escape velocity (SEV) offers a solution.
Pursue Self-Sustaining Escape Velocity (SEV)
- Pursue Self-Sustaining Escape Velocity (SEV) for continuous AI improvement.
- Focus on building a feedback loop where AIs create better AIs.
