Since when was "design and implement a practical self-improving AI architecture" on the same level as knowing "the requisite concepts for getting Transformers working"?
this is such garbage logic. the semantics of that comment are irrelevant. creating and testing AI node structures is well within the same ballpark. even if it wasnt, the entire insinuation of your comment is that the creation of AI is a task that is too hard for AI or for an AI we can create anytime soon -- a refutation of the feedback hypothesis. well, thats completely wrong. on all levels.
