Miles Brundage compares the phrase "Recursive self-improvement (and we'll figure out later what role humans play)" to Tesla's "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)". He says both are vague enough to satisfy critics while misleading about the actual goal.
“Recursive self-improvement (and we’ll figure out later what role humans play)” has the same energy as “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)”
Which is to say, it is vague enough + has enough of the right keywords to satisfy some critics but is basically misleading re: the goal at play
