Pushing boundaries is all fun and games until someone starts to improve their own hardware and software self-recursively and the time scales of boundary pushing get so compressed that there's no time for the slower and more carbon based among us to have time to adjust.
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A tweet warning about recursive self-improvement compressing timescales past the point humans can adapt — a standard fast-takeoff/singularity concern, thematically adjacent to Nathan's tracking of empirical singularity indicators (Davidson/Houlden r estimates, METR automation figures) and his "ancestor-tree" framing of humans as slower carbon-based observers.
