PROMISE OF RESULTS. “Eliezer Yudkowsky argues that a recursively self-improvement AI seems likely to deliver a hard AI takeoff – a fast, abruptly, local increase in capability - since the exponential increase in intelligence would yield an exponential return in benefits and resources that would feed even more returns in the next step, and so on.” https://lnkd.in/dpPHp3a View in LinkedIn

INTELLIGENCE. “Recursively self-improving AI is considered to be the push behind the intelligence explosion. While any sufficiently intelligent AI will be able to improve itself, Seed AIs are specifically designed to use recursive self-improvement as their primary method of gaining intelligence.” https://lnkd.in/dpPHp3a View in LinkedIn

LOGARITHMIC CURVE. “Recursive self-improvement is the only type of improvement which has potential to completely replace the original algorithm with a completely different approach and more importantly to do so multiple times. At each stage, newly created software should be better at optimizing future version of the software compared to the original algorithm. As of the time of this writing, it is a purely theoretical concept.” https://lnkd.in/ds26vCY View in LinkedIn

GIANT LEAP FORWARD. “For all of these reasons, the carpel was undoubtedly a major factor in the evolutionary success of the angiosperms, which diversified from a common ancestor that is estimated to have lived in the Late Jurassic period, around 160 million years ago (MYA), to form approximately 300 000 species alive today.” https://academic.oup.com/jxb/article/57/10/2143/471376/An-evolutionary-perspective-on-the-regulation-of View in LinkedIn

OTHER ADVANTAGES. “Syncarpy also allows for the production of larger fruits, with potentially more complex and efficient seed dispersal mechanisms. Finally, a syncarpic gynoecium may require a lesser energy input for cell wall production, compared to an apocarpic gynoecium of similar size.” https://lnkd.in/dN-h-K2 View in LinkedIn

SINGLE FEMALE STRUCTURES. “Carpel fusion confers numerous advantages on syncarpic species, of which one of the most important is the provision of a compitum: a tissue that acts as an interchange between the entire stigmatic surface and the ovary, thus allowing any pollen tube to access any ovule.“ https://lnkd.in/dN-h-K2 View in LinkedIn

MURKY EVOLUTION HISTORY. “Little is known of how stigma, style, and ovary differentiation occurs in model plants, and certainly there is no information on how these processes first evolved.” https://academic.oup.com/jxb/article/57/10/2143/471376/An-evolutionary-perspective-on-the-regulation-of View in LinkedIn
