Recursive Self‑Improvement Is Industrial

Séb Krier reframes so‑called recursive self‑improvement as an industrial scaling process driven by compute, supply chains, engineering practices and institutional scaffolding, not an inexplicable spontaneous 'foom' event. That shifts the relevant policy levers from forecasting timelines and metaphysics to governance of production, distribution, and corporate/state incentives. — If RSI is chiefly an industrial phenomenon, public debate and regulation should focus on permitting, supply‑chain chokepoints, corporate power and distributional safety rather than existential timeline betting.
