Summary
According to a post on X by @aleshu_ber, Google's Jeff Dean told Fei-Fei Li at Stanford that he finds it implausible that AI improving AI could run its loop infinitely fast into an intelligence explosion. Google DeepMind's Séb Krier reshared the clip, and @docmilanfar said it matches his September argument that recursive self-improvement cannot go as fast as people hope. The source is a social post and its snippet is brief, so the full context of Dean's remarks is not available here.

Why it matters
The view bears on how builders, businesses and investors weigh claims of rapid, self-driven AI progress, since it questions whether AI-driven improvement loops would speed up without limit. Readers tracking AI timelines should watch for the full clip or transcript and for whether other senior researchers respond with similar or opposing views. This is commentary on timelines rather than a new technical result.
