Technological recursive self improvement has always been going on in the background and yes it is ready to takeoff at some point, sooner rather than later.

The tools we created in the past were used to create better tools, which were then used to create even better tools, and so forth. Self-improving AI is the spark that will really get this party started.

If the entire loop isn't fully automated, the parts that still depends on humans will bottle neck each recursive cycle. That means progress will be accelerated over pure human r&d, but no runaway acceleration.
