TeortaxesTex strongly questions Anthropic's claim that 'AI assistance has accelerated AI R&D by less than 2x.' He argues that with thousands of GPUs per researcher, no engineering bottlenecks, and models capable of autonomously proving theorems and designing experiments, the baseline for 'less than 2x' is unclear. He contends this indicates Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI) is actually occurring.
