If you keep instrumenting these technologies with enough data, enough compute, and you keep scaling them and you like, they're reliable enough that they can do.

I mean, if you're coding, if you're automating 90% of the code written at Anthropic, that's the stat, by the way.

So there you are in Anthropic.

It's automating 90% of all the programming happening at Anthropic.

That's right.

We are extremely close to recursive self-improvement right now.

The companies, I think, are planning to do this in the next 12 months.

The asteroid is coming for Earth.

This is the last moment that we have to steer and say that if we don't want this anti-human future that we're heading towards, we can change it.

And part of what we're promoting right now is this is not inevitable.

It is obviously very late in the game.

It obviously looks very difficult.

Despite it also being only a couple of years after it started.

Yes, which is crazy.

This technology with an exponential, you're either too early or you're too late.

Like it's just moving so fast that you're not gonna hit the mark.

And if it's gonna take steering, you don't wanna wait until after the car accident to try to steer or after you're off the cliff and be like, oh, I'm trying to steer now.

It's like too late.

So like the invitation of this situation is to see clearly where this is going and to say, if you don't want that, we need to steer towards somewhere else.

And this is like the human movement, essentially.
