I can make a self-improving AI in 3 lines of Python:

AI_goodness=1

while true:

 AI_goodness*=2; print (AI_goodness)

The AI doubles in goodness every time the loop iterates.

Co-developed by e of pi (not on this forum). For safety, add a line at the beginning, "Friendly=true".

Presumably you mean AI_goodness=1

Oops, yes. Fixed.
