the loop is already spinning. More than 80% of Anthropic's code is written by Claude. Jeff Dean left Google after 30 years to build the loop for science. Direction-setting is the role left for humans.

​the hard part: Lilian Weng's survey of harness engineering argues the near-term path to RSI runs through the harness rather than weight-rewriting. A self-improving meta-harness is within reach. The bottleneck is evals, because a loop is only as good as its evaluator.

​in the room: researchers from MIT , Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, DeepMind and Meta. Co-hosted by Autolab, Sundai Club, and the European Startup Embassy.
