Jeff Dean | 2026 Frontier & Pioneer SymposiumHarness engineering
Harness engineering is the concrete substrate that RSI operates on: the outer loop rewrites the harness rather than the model.

Can Rewriting an AI Agent Bend the Intelligence Curve? - Zhengyao Jianghuman-in-the-loop oversight
Direct tension: self-modification removes the comprehension and interrupt preconditions that human oversight assumes.

Eric Schmidt on the Robotics Race, Singularity Timeline, and Energy Shortage | 241verification bottleneck
Verification capacity gates how fast an automated R&D loop can safely iterate, so it acts as a governor on self-improvement rate rather than a side concern.
