The steam engine is self-reinforcing — the greater the coal mining capacity, the more efficient the production. Computers are also self-reinforcing — computers help design better computers themselves.
AI is obviously on this path as well. But the real question is: what will this process ultimately converge to? Infinite acceleration, or reaching a balance at some stage? This dilemma is worth deep reflection.

I think this is a good question, but the assumption of infinite acceleration itself is problematic...

Oh my god, how long can AI development accelerate... It feels like sooner or later we'll hit a ceiling.

Hmm... the idea of infinite acceleration is actually just a facade; the laws of physics will forcibly brake you.

Once again, the same "self-reinforcement" rhetoric. It sounds convincing, but can AI really accelerate infinitely? I'm skeptical.

Oh my God, this is just positive feedback hell, it will collapse sooner or later.

Thinking about it, it's quite terrifying. It really feels like this wave of AI could easily get out of control.

Well... basically, it's fear of losing control, but it seems like we're already on the path to losing control.
