Ok, so your prediction is that the Dell cluster will be able to improve its own code, whereas the Lenovo will not. But I'm not sure if that's true. After all, I am conscious, and yet if you asked me to improve my own code, I couldn't do it.
Maybe not, but you can upgrade your own programs. You can improve your "rationality" program, your "cooking" program, et cetera.
Yes, I can learn to a certain extent, but so can Pandora (the music-matching problem); IMO that's not much of a yardstick.
