Can GHC become self-conscious?

As you know, GHC is compiled by itself. GHC also comes with an optimization engine. GHC's code optimization therefore optimizes itself. It is also a rather aggressive optimizer.

How long do you think we have until it becomes self-aware, recursively self modifying itself down to the point that it can instantly rewrite programs to run in O(1), having solved P=NP and so other computational problems?

Do you think 6 to 8 weeks is a reasonable estimate?

It can never become O(1). Did you work with limits in high school? It's like this. Every time you compile GHC with itself it becomes faster and faster going closer to 0 seconds however it can never reach 0 seconds.
