Ex-Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon's (that famous guy of quit) new interview at Stanford.

says internal lab projections put AI on the edge of recursive self-improvement within a year.

"I saw exact projections for the capabilities of models in the next 6 months to 1 year that made me think, we're on the cusp of recursive self-improvement. And at that point, we could reach super intelligence before the decade is out. And we don't obviously know how to control super intelligence. In fact, some might argue we have no clue how to control super intelligence."
