Anthropic is saying the quiet part loud, and that takes guts.
They are openly claiming AI systems may be on the cusp of recursive self-improvement, the point at which they can design and build their own successors with little human input, and warning this could increase the risk of humans losing control of the technology. Coming from the company building the thing, that is not a casual disclaimer. That is a fire alarm.
The data behind the alarm is real and specific. Claude now writes more than 80 percent of the code merged into Anthropic's systems, up from low single digits before the company released Claude Code in early 2025. And in the second quarter of 2026, the typical engineer at Anthropic was merging 8x as much code per day as they were in 2024. Eight times. In roughly two years. That is not a productivity bump. That is a different category of change.
Here is what makes it genuinely strange: the loop is already closing. AI is already being used to assist in developing better AI, writing training code, analyzing results, and proposing experiments. This "weak" form of AI-assisted AI development is real and growing. We are not waiting for some sci-fi threshold. We are already on the ramp.
The underrated concern is not the capability itself. It is the pace. Human institutions, regulatory bodies, safety standards organizations, democratic processes, move slowly. The systems are not.
The rate at which AI models improve is accelerating, and the length of tasks they can reliably complete on their own has been doubling roughly every four months, up from an earlier trend of doubling every seven months. Every four months. If you are not updating your mental model of where this is going at least that often, you are already behind.
The honest posture right now is not panic and it is not dismissal. It is seriousness. Read what the builders are actually publishing. Build your own understanding of it. Because the people who will navigate this well are the ones who saw it clearly while most people were still calling it science fiction.
@Philopearl_Afc@_AsiwajuLerry Which kind reasoning be this. Why you no forgive yourself? 39m from 10k? Una just dey talk rubbish. So compared to zero naira you no forgive yourself? Rubbish ๐
We need to talk about e-SIM phones and why Nigerians donโt really go for them. Why are Nigerians afraid of e-sim cards?
When you compare e-SIM to physical SIM, e-SIM gives the clear advantage, and the e-sim only phones are sold at exactly the same price as that of physical sim from the manufacturer.
Take the iPhone 17 pro max for example. The e-SIM only, US version has a bigger battery compared to other versions with physical SIM.
Can someone then explain why the e-SIM only version sells cheaper here in Nigeria?

@DavidHundeyin You are definitely a conspiracy theorist and not the reasonable one. For your info, I didn't see any video before I made mine. I made mine of the inspiration of veo 3 and comedy. Mine was the one with almost 1m views on tik tok so definitely one of the firsts
