A conversation revealing Anthropic's internal timeline judgments:
- Jacob Coxon clarified his "plans for next year" comment came from long-tenured Anthropic research leads: "2027 is when things get crazy"
- Insiders see fully automated AI research as plausible by early 2027, and don't expect government regulation in time, let alone international cooperation
- A recent paper co-authored by Hinton, Bengio, and OpenAI/Anthropic researchers warns automating AI R&D could compress years of progress into months
- Anthropic has said Claude already writes most merged code; the core argument: the window around 2027 decides whether oversight exists
