Excited to share Elasticity’s first note: The Economics of Recursive Self-Improvement, by @testingham (lead author), @andrewjkoh, @arjun_ramani3, @BasilHalperin, @brian_jabarian, @cherylwoooo, @AlthoffLukas, @whitfill_parker, and @pawtrammell.

Elasticity will continue to produce rigorous economic research on the most important questions raised by advances in AI.

Very happy to share the first paper from @ElasticityInst: The Economics of Recursive Self-Improvement. Two parts:

(1) a graphical representation of feedback loops, to formalize a variety of RSI-related arguments, where each arrow represents responsiveness (elasticity);

(2) a survey of existing evidence with a loose calibration & a “wish list” of evidence that would help us calibrate better.
