>Just as one discovery enables many, human-level AI that can do its own AI research could superlinearly bootstrap its intelligence.
Of course, that assumes the return-on-investment curve for "bootstrapping its own intelligence" is linear or superlinear. If it's logarithmic or something other than "intelligence" (which is a word loaded with magical thinking if there ever was one!) is the limiting factor on reasoning, no go.
