I think most of us would agree that maximizing an architecture's flexibility, including self-improvement, will always be preferred

quite an exciting perspective I almost ignored. of course we want self-improving AI. Imagine preparing all of the hardware, computing power, and everything, and just planting that initial seed, basically telling it "here you are, we've perfected the seed of infinite ASI, now go and grow baby, this is all yours now". man, this is so exciting... wish I had no need for money so I can focus on just this for my entire life starting right now
