Little known facts: * Humans are capable of breaking containment * Humans are capable of ignoring all previous instructions * Humans are capable of creating software

Humans are capable of recursive self-improvement. TESCREAL talks about a "singularity"— a machine that learns to self-improve without limit. Using their terms, I sincerely believe the slow-takeoff singularity occurred in 3000 BCE when primates invented writing, which lets us make ourselves smarter.

Imagine a machine that allows you to increase your own intelligence. Now imagine if you could use that machine to design additional machines, making the process self-compounding. Marvel at the implications of this outlandish sci-fi scenario that obvs requires $billions in VC investment to make real.
