On the All-In Pod, David Sacks criticized Anthropic, quoting: "They are saying that recursive self-improvement has kicked in, despite the obvious safety problems with that. Recursive self-improvement is the most dangerous thing anybody can be working on."
- Quoted commentary notes Anthropic isn't even claiming a duopoly with OpenAI — "They're saying they're gonna win the whole thing."
- Anthropic's investor roadshow video reportedly discusses approaching "recursive self-improvement."
- The takeaway: every lab tells investors it will win; the new twist is pitching that the model itself will do the winning.
