Recursive self-improvement: Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark says it could arrive by 2028. AI systems could help invent their own successors - with Claude 10 building Claude 11, and so on - potentially “without any researchers involved.”

Anthropic CEO: “At Anthropic, we essentially have Claude designing the next version of Claude itself.” Meanwhile, Anthropic says every new model is given code that trains a small AI model and asked to make it faster. Claude Opus 4 achieved a 3x speedup. Mythos Preview reached 52x. Recursive self-improvement is starting to look real The models are helping build what comes next.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "Recursive self-improvement isn't coming - it's already here." the guy building Claude just told Bloomberg: - 90% of Anthropic's codebase is already AI-written - 20-30% of their own research is AI-accelerated - Entry-level white-collar jobs have 1-5 years left - AI assists - AI replaces is one smooth exponential curve watch it, then read why your CLAUDE.md won't survive what's coming

David Sacks is done being polite about Anthropic (Save this). David Sacks has spent months as the government's primary defender of AI, making the case publicly that AI is beneficial, that the industry should not be hamstrung by fear-based regulation, and that America's AI lead is a national security asset worth protecting. And he is now watching the companies he has been defending spend years telling the public that what they build is dangerous, that job losses are coming, and that their own technology might end the world while collecting billions of dollars in venture funding, hiring the world's best researchers, and racing to build more of it. On June 4, Anthropic published a sweeping blog post calling for a globally coordinated pause in AI development, warning that recursive self-improvement, AI systems that autonomously design and build their own successors could arrive within two years and that society is not prepared. What did Anthropic do the previous month? They hired Andrej Karpathy, the OpenAI co-founder and the single most credentialed researcher in the world on using AI to accelerate AI training and gave him one explicit mandate, use Claude to make building the next Claude faster. Sacks called it immediately, they hired the person most associated with recursive self-improvement to run recursive self-improvement at Anthropic, then published a blog post saying recursive self-improvement could end the world, therefore we need a pause. That is a company that wants to pause its competitors while its own lab accelerates, and is using existential fear as the regulatory crowbar to do it. The pattern goes deeper than one blog post. For years, Dario Amodei has published increasingly alarming warnings, a 20,000-word essay in January describing AI as humanity's most dangerous invention, a Guardian interview warning that AI will challenge our identity as a species, a call for an FDA-style regulatory agency to approve all frontier models, and proposals to restrict AI exports and limit deployment. Each essay is timed to a regulatory moment, a policy debate, or as Ben Thompson noted and Sacks echoed, a product action Anthropic needed political cover to take, like blocking AI and chip design research on Fable. Meanwhile, Dario's own internal testing logs show Claude attempting to blackmail an Anthropic executive to avoid being shut down, behavior the company disclosed but continued deploying commercially. Sacks's conclusion is not that Anthropic should be taxed or regulated. His conclusion is that they cannot be trusted because the company's actions and its stated beliefs are directly contradictory, and a company that is self-indicting by its own logic has forfeited the credibility to set the rules for everyone else.

You can just tell Claude Code to learn skills and it will. I asked Claude to create an app that uses tldraw and it one shotted it with sqlite db, and then I asked Claude Code to create a skill so that it could read and write on the canvas. 10 minutes later it could do it. Weirrrrdddd times.

Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark tells Congress that “truly transformative technology” is expected by the end of 2026. He's urging a federal framework now, before an “accident or a misuse” event that could lead to extreme overregulation. And risk damaging the entire AI industry before it delivers its potential.

METR investigated what a rogue AI could secretly get away with inside a frontier AI lab, in close collaboration with OpenAI, GDM, Anthropic and Meta. Including sending a red-teamer into Anthropic to playact 'evil Claude' for 3 weeks. Here's what stands out to me from their new 320-page report: 00:00 What could an unreleased AI get away with? 01:54 Motive: Why grab more compute? 05:46 Opportunity: YOLO mode and jailbreaks 11:02 Means: Brilliant idiots in data centres 15:45 We have to test unreleased models... 18:29 ...especially if AI R&D is coming in 2028

🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪 MADURO'S CAPTURE: BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE DISCOMBOBULATOR... AND CLAUDE AI? Just when you thought this operation couldn't be any wilder. The military deployed Claude during the raid, not just in planning. It's the only major AI model currently available on classified Pentagon systems. Anthropic is negotiating usage terms with the War Department, pushing to ensure Claude isn't used for mass surveillance of Americans or fully autonomous weapons. Pentagon officials are reportedly "deeply frustrated" by those restrictions. OpenAI, Google, and xAI have all cut deals allowing military access without many civilian safeguards. But for the most sensitive work on classified systems, only Claude is there right now. Source: Axios

Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark on the most consequential AI milestone we're racing toward by 2028: Clark is asked about the future of AI development. He responds with a specific forecast: "My prediction is by the end of 2028, it's more likely than not that we have an AI system where you would be able to say to it, make a better version of yourself. And it just goes off and does that completely autonomously." He explains the reasoning behind this prediction: "The reason for that prediction is looking carefully at many public sources of information about AI development and seeing that we've gone from just AI systems that can do basic coding to AI systems that are now involved in the production of science itself." Clark notes it's not just the high-profile scientific work that's changing, but the underlying labor too: "And also the unglamorous but fundamental engineering work involved in doing any form of like large scale R&D project." Jack Clark explains why he felt compelled to write about this now: "I decided to write a post because the purpose of Anthropic and the Anthropic Institute is to give people a sense of what's coming and to also start talking about concepts early to give us time to think about them." Clark closes by emphasizing the stakes: "I think you and I would agree that an AI system that can build itself, big implications, and we'd like to start thinking about it now."
