TheZvi publishes "AI R&D Is Accelerating Towards Potential RSI in 2027," building on METR's extensive report measuring how much AI accelerates AI R&D at Anthropic, arguing we may be approaching recursive self-improvement.
PauseAI UK boosts the warning — "we could be extremely close to RSI; the simple solution is to pause" — a stark safety-leaning read of the acceleration data.
