Anthropic Says It Is Very Close to Self-Building AI
Anthropic has warned that it is very close to reaching recursive self-improvement, or RSI. This is the point where AI gets so good at training itself that its progress speeds up sharply. Some AI doomers see RSI as a turning point with no way back. The claim is a warning from the company itself, not a proven result.
