One of the most prominent British Christian Zionists of the 19th century was Lord Shaftesbury, who was also a notable social reformer. His advocacy for the restoration of the Jews to Palestine was intertwined with British identity and policy from the 1830s onwards.
It didn't take so much to push the needle back then. It all seems to stem from a single book.

Beginning in late November 2023, the threat actor used a password spray attack to compromise a legacy non-production test tenant account and gain a foothold, and then used the account’s permissions to access a very small percentage of Microsoft corporate email accounts, including members of our senior leadership team and employees in our cybersecurity, legal, and other functions, and exfiltrated some emails and attached documents.
The reason self modifying code isn't used is because the game is not worth the candle.
You very much can self modify Python at runtime, and all the tools are there
>>> def foo(): print("original foo")
>>> foo()
original foo
>>> rewrite_txt="def foo(): print('I am new foo')"
>>> newcode=compile(rewrite_text,"",'exec')
>>> eval(newcode)
>>> foo()
I am new foo
ChatGPT can generate Python code and run it, which combines both of your subjects
What do you think Monkey Patching is?
JavaScript and Ruby can do it too
In Forth you can create new Words that don't mask the old Words but will be used in new definitions going forwards. Forth really is the ultimate, I recommend at least learning it.
The book that coveres the class of languages of Forth is

One of the more interesting architectures I've come across is Content Addressable Parallel Processors
The original text Foster, Caxton C. (1976)

I'm going to stop there but I am enjoying this discussion

Self modifying code - I don't think that's so important. I'm a fan of Harvard Architecture Computers e.g. early Burroughs machines but I first encountered it on AVR Microcontrollers. The program is stored in a different memory space to the RAM. In the AVR the program is written to non-volatile EPROM and runs at power up with blank RAM.
You can have the ANN engine in ROM which runs the ANN but the layers and weights can be loaded and modified at runtime.
Python can be self modifying, it is a virtual machine running Python bytecode, Java runs on the Java Virtual Machine but Scala too can run on the JVM.
Any JIT like javascript, lua is self modifying.
There is also genetic programming.
Your thesis doesn't discuss your question.
Anyway, if we take AI as an artificial conciousness, then I don't beleive it is even possible. Adding more and more clockwork to the clock will not make it think.
I believe conciousness involves the non-computable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computable_number
Weasel words are involved, as to be expected, when OpenAI say AGI they use their own definition: "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work".
Take out the words Artificial Intelligence and call it what it is:
Computer programs for text and image generation and analysis.
When people from OpenAI say AGI they use their own definition: "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work".

No, you are not expanding along with the universe. The expansion of the universe refers to the increase in distance between gravitationally unbound parts of the observable universe over time [1]. This means that galaxies are moving away from each other, but objects within those galaxies, like stars, planets, and people, are not expanding because they are bound by local gravity [1][2]. The expansion is happening on a cosmic scale, and it doesn't affect the size of smaller, gravitationally bound systems like the human body, the Earth, or the Solar System.
