Some view it as a dangerous path toward a liftoff scenario, while others dismiss these fears as alarmism. A physics professor labeled the concept the worst idea in human history. Conversely, a Princeton study reportedly debunked self-improvement alarmism, and some analysts remain skeptical that true recursive self-improvement is possible. Meanwhile, Chinese researchers have proposed a five-stage roadmap to develop the final AI ever built by humans.Why it mattersRecursive self-improvement c
