Evidence: Claude Writes Much of Anthropic's Code, R&D Roles Expand

This thread provides factual evidence and job listing backups for the author's argument on the collapsing AI R&D calendar and recursive self-improvement.
Anthropic: Claude already writes a significant amount of committed code, with its data loop closing in hours or days. RL goals include continual learning and end-to-end software engineering.
OpenAI: The model flywheel automates experiments, evals, and deployment. Custom-infrastructure roles are moving AI-native silicon from lab validation into production data centers.
Recruitment Signals: Live roles target AI scientists, chip-design RL, and measuring AI R&D acceleration, proving AI is actively entering the entire R&D pipeline.
