"Claude. make the most recursive, self-referential presentation you can imagine. seriously go big with this, don't just run with your first idea, revise it multiple times (ironic instruction, yes)" "come on, i said recursive & self-referential. improve it. (see what i did?)"

Elon Musk: We're in the hard takeoff right now. Every successive AI model is built by the one before it. Peter Diamandis: Do you see Grok doing recursive self-improvement at this point? And how? What's the timeline for AGI and ASI? Give us a sense of that. Elon Musk: Yeah, I think we've been in recursive improvement for a while here. If you mean by, like, recursive self-improvement without a human in the loop, is that what you mean? Peter Diamandis: I do. Elon Musk: On the AI software side, I mean, humans are gradually getting less and less in the loop on the recursive self-improvement. So every successive model is built by the one before it. So that is happening to a large degree, but it's not yet fully automated. It may be there end of this year, but not later than next year. Peter Diamandis: Do you see a hard takeoff at that point? Elon Musk: We're in the hard takeoff. Peter Diamandis: Okay. Elon Musk: Right now, yes. I mean, at this point I go to sleep, there's some massive AI breakthrough, and when I wake up, there's another one. Yes. Yeah, it's hard to keep track, honestly. So, yeah, it's a bit of a head spinner. Moonshots with Peter Diamandis (Abundance Summit 2026), March 18, 2026.

🚨 Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just dropped a massive timeline update at Davos 2026: “I have engineers within Anthropic who say ‘I don’t write any code anymore. I just let the model write the code, I edit it’... - the creator of Claude code recently also said “100% of his contributions to Claude code were written by Claude code” for the month of December Dario then goes onto say: “We might be 6 to 12 months away from when the model is doing most, maybe all of what SWEs do end-to-end.” If the recursive self-improvement loop closes this year, the curve is about to go vertical.

Imagine attending an event and not being able to hear what is being said. That's the case for most people with hearing and speech impairement. Here is a story I did on this and how it can be dealt with.

How I have Claude automate anything I do on my computer just by showing it: I use the free Clips app and hit record to start recording. Then I just do the action - like navigating to Rippling and approving any unapproved time off - and I’ll often just talk out loud as I do it explaining any add’l details like I would when showing a human. The Clips app captures everything on your screen and everything you say, and transforms it into a format Claude can “see and hear”. You'll then get a link that you can easily share with Claude (or humans too). I’ll paste it to Claude and say something like, "automate this for me every day at 8:00 AM." The link has special metadata that agents like Claude can discover. It exposes APIs to see the full transcript with timestamps and grab screenshots of what was on your screen at any of those timestamps. Once it's created the routine, you can go to the Routines tab in Claude Code desktop app. This also works with the CLI, Claude Cowork, Codex etc. You’ll see your new routine there, and you can just hit Run Now to have it start running it. Video attached shows this step by step. The Clips apps is free and open source - I’ll link to it and the source code in the thread.

I ADDED MULTIPLAYER AND IT ACTUALLY WORKS :DD Absolutely insane, just 8 hours in starting from scratch Cursor did this, I just asked it!! Marc Köhlbrugge recommended WebRTC so I asked "can you make it multiplayer with webrtc" It used PeerJS, I tried first to do a big room of everybody but THAT didn't work, but it does work 1-on-1 if you share your ID and you can fly with each other 🥹

Kawhi Leonard said he doesn’t understand the All-Star Game format and wants to see it go back to East vs. West. “With the teams split up you don’t really know who you’re playing with or what the score is… I rather it just be East and West and just go out there and compete and see what the outcome is. I don’t think a format can make you compete.”

Okay, I got Claude Code to actually fly my plane now It controls the keys via Chrome by running it with `claude --chrome` There is some issue with the lift vs gravity formula though so it takes a lot of speed to take off, but it's really cool to see it control and fly the plane This means it can code the game and then play it to check in a loop to theoretically improve it without my help (haven't gotten there though) I run it like this btw: `IS_SANDBOX=1 claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --chrome` (Run at your own risk)

SOMEONE JUST CREATED AI TECHNOLOGY THAT MAKES WIFI SEE THROUGH WALLS. IT READS YOUR HEARTBEAT, BREATHING RATE, AND MOVEMENT ON THE OTHER SIDE. you don't need to be in the room, a camera, or anything except a WiFi signal and an AI that interprets what bounces back this is not a government prototype, this already exists and someone just published it on GitHub this is proof that with AI you can build almost anything you can imagine that's exactly why I put together a guide on Claude features most people don't know exist the article below shows exactly what that looks like in practice
