User claims Gemini now works 5-hour stretches uninterrupted and 'RSI is cracked'

User @MickeySteamboat claims his Gemini models can now run five-hour work stretches without interruption, stopping only for human review when no action is needed, with programming work completed to spec.
- He goes further, claiming RSI (recursive self-improvement) has been 'cracked internally' and that 'it's not a meme'
- He says he personally reviewed 600k lines of code, with a 4M-line monolith and roughly 40B lines including Google's full stack down to TPU/QPU
- The claims are unverifiable and widely read as AI-circle hyperbole, but tap into ongoing debate about long-horizon autonomous agents
