a16z general partner Martin Casado sits down with MakerMaker.AI co-founders Dhaval Adjodah and Owen He to unpack recursive self-improvement. The pair draw a line between genuine RSI and simply using AI to automate parts of AI development, arguing that a closed loop still does not guarantee runaway takeoff. They also explain why proving gains are real means weighing capability against the resources required to get there.
