The World of Superintelligent and Spirituality

It is fascinating to discuss this idea of superintelligence. I want to explore two things: superintelligence and spirituality.

Superintelligence

First, I would like to discuss the prevailing view that once AI becomes superintelligent, it will rewrite its own code, thereby becoming increasingly more complex, intelligent, and potentially dangerous to us.

Logically, as it is framed, this will be an unending process. Once it rewrites its own code and thus becomes more intelligent, it will then rewrite its code again; this process will, one assumes, be an endless cycle of increasing intelligence.

But as I have questioned before, does this make logical sense? Is this really possible, and is there a limit or a highest point beyond which machine intelligence naturally reaches a plateau?

The assumption is that rewriting its code creates a path to greater intelligence. It may find ways to continue improving its operations by designing better storage and faster processors, rewriting its algorithm, and making ever more calculations in the blink of an eye. But are there natural limits even to this? Even if that were not the case, does it really…
