Anthropic reports RSI like weather while building it, critics say

- An "RSI factory" meme mocks the framing that runaway recursive self-improvement is an unstoppable external force — while labs build it with their own hands.
- The spark: Anthropic's Jack Clark said full runaway RSI is more likely than not possible by 2027. @peterwildeford pushes back: it's annoying when Anthropic staff report AI developments as if they were the weather, when they are directly the ones making them happen.
