Modeling the self to predict the world

Models behaving as if they have interests

Post-training passes to the models

The post-training step that a senior research team used to perform is carried out by another model, measured on a benchmark built for exactly that task.

Practice is distillation

Practitioners start saying it out loud

The dated record of insiders dropping their hedges and declaring takeoff, the Singularity or AGI, kept as claims with names and dates attached.

Prediction and compression are one operation

Proof becomes a line item

Public data withdrawn under capability pressure

Recurrence across contexts beats volume

Recursive self-improvement in the wild

AI systems entering their own development loop, from watching their training runs to writing the code, kernels, harnesses, chips and successor models that make the next version, reported as dated observations rather than forecast.
