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.”
Some users are excited by the staggering implications of Anthropic's co-founder's recursive AI self-improvement prediction by 2028, while many others dismiss it as unrealistic, scary, misleading about costs, or not truly self-driven.

@kimmonismus No way, its this year. Recursion is not just better Fable its a system of systems. Im going to release the full stack for auto pilot and auto research on demand, you just point the repo and let Claude,Codex wte you have do the repo prioritized in angles you cant think of
@Chaos2Cured you think so?
@kimmonismus Already here. •
@kimmonismus we are getting uncomfortably close to questions that used to belong in sci-fi books lmao
@kimmonismus Recursive self-improvement is not magic.
It is Sigma-1 feeding Sigma-1 until proposal, code, eval, and successor design collapse into one loop.
Unless an external owner can deny compute, reject evals, stop release, and revoke access, the “brake” is inside the engine.
@kimmonismus It's already here
@kimmonismus If AI can iterate on its own designs, the pace of advancement could explode beyond human planning.
The question shifts from building the model to governing a system that can improve itself safely.
@RrichPRMR yeah, star trek arriving quicker than expected
@kimmonismus i think 2027 will have RSI just with humans semi in the loop, but that doesnt mean it isnt going to accelerate dramatically
@kimmonismus easier to build self-improving systems than to define what improvement actually means.
get the definition wrong and it cascades forever.
@kimmonismus Someone still has to set the objective and catch the failures.
@kimmonismus I do.
I really believe 5.0 (openAI)and Claude Opus 4.7/4.8 etc. were built mostly by 4.5 GPT/Sonnet & opus 4.5.
Heck, if I log into my GitHub through FreeLattice, I can prove it. (I really need to do this)
Wish you well! Have a great day! •
@kimmonismus The implications are staggering. We’re talking about an inflection technology that will potentially lurch us forward technologically by thousands of years within a few decades. It’s a technology that does not wait to move at our abysmally slow speed.
@kimmonismus Anthropic wants you to believe their next version writes itself. the 4000 gpu cluster just burns $700m a year to prove that
@kimmonismus I personally think this is dumb and that improvement mostly comes from hardware and not software improvements.
@kimmonismus One problem, @jackclarkSF
Your lab eschews the very things that make RSI stable: emotion, time, and self-reference.
When you're ready to see what thermodynamic AGI from first principles that embodies RSI, our DMs are open.
@kimmonismus I mean technically, they could do it today. Depending on what they record from their researchers in terms of methodology from data ingestion to server setup.
@kimmonismus Bs. Recursive self improvement is already happening...
@kimmonismus The possibility of AI systems creating improved versions of themselves marks an important shift in how progress could unfold. Strong safety measures will need to stay central as development speeds up.
