As a complete layman, I think cause and effect are backwards here. Specifically that the hyper networks will be the forcing function and generate ever better models which will eventually reproduce self adaptation and evolution. Instead, I imagine that once models are competing for resources directly rather than via a human interlocutor will result in rapid evolution. Whether that will generate AGI is questionable in my mind. It seems phrased as an optimization problem by TFA, but I think the goal criteria of the computer directed competition will influence that very heavily. We may see something vastly different from intelligence which is also extremely effective at... something
