iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Perhaps the best way to understand why I am critical about this is to consider this. I my view this is FAR more likely to going to be the case. It is short but it gets the point across.

AI training AI is a reality, and if they succeed then AGI is a matter of course, but the problem is, given the research, this would result in something that cannot be controlled it is a massive problem, hence the REAL reason for the so call "pacing the frontier".

We are now deploying systems that are simultaneously the researcher, the subject of the research, and the evaluator of their own progress. Initially I did not plan to investigate this angle but RSI is the reason behind much of what is going on in terms of what all the fuzz is about

RSI is No Longer Science Fiction; It’s Industrial Practice In 2026, RSI moved from academic speculation into the core infrastructure of frontier AI labs. The scale of this transition is evidenced by current performance metrics:
