AI speedrunner cuts 7 seconds off a game route in 10 minutes, live — "a tiny glimpse of ASI"

The author shares a live AI speedrunning run: in just 10 minutes the system cut the route time from 94.28s to 87.86s. A screenshot shows "route evolution" in action — opening new search families, 37 trials, 4 stalls, 7 worker errors, 0 supervisor restarts, with multiple workers climbing candidate routes in parallel. The author calls watching an AI beat a game superhumanly "a tiny glimpse of ASI" and pushes back on "games are for humans" criticism by noting tool-assisted speedruns have always existed and are fascinating.
