Shared subject first, then similar wording. They may agree or disagree.

• Recursive self-improvement only works if the base model is already capable enough to improve its own mechanism. LWLilian Weng4 Jul 2026
• Recursive self-improvement will increase AI capability very quickly from here. CPChamath Palihapitiya3 Aug 2026
• Coding agents already do coarse-grained recursive self-improvement, because every use rewrites their instruction files and their long-term memory. JHJensen Huang26 Jul 2026
• The current speed of AI progress could be sustained all the way into recursive self-improvement. JPJakub Pachocki6 Sept 2026
• Frontier AI labs improve via a flywheel of getting the smartest people on leading models, then distilling their inputs, model outputs, and synthetic data, with users locked in by mutual competition. NRNaval Ravikant10 Sept 2026
