Anthropic just told the world to slow down AI development.
The same day they disclosed Claude wrote 80% of their own codebase.
The same week they filed for a $1 trillion IPO.
The same month they gave a self-escaping AI to the EU’s cybersecurity agency.
Their engineers now ship 8x more code per quarter than they did last year.
The AI is building the AI that builds the AI.
Anthropic’s solution is a globally coordinated pause.
Requiring China to agree.
Voluntarily.
The company that cannot stop building faster is asking everyone else to stop building faster.
Anthropic is calling for top AI labs to weigh slowing the pace of development, suggesting that AI systems are advancing so rapidly that they may soon be able to improve themselves without human intervention in ways that could pose societal risks. https://t.co/8c7xkeX17B
Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor.
It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. https://t.co/OVVPJO7VQx
