Age of Ultron: Anthropic warns AI systems could soon build their own successors

SMRTR summary

Anthropic is warning that AI systems may soon be capable of building their own successors with little human involvement. The company says Claude-generated code now makes up over 80% of code merged into its systems, up from single digits before early 2025, and engineers merge eight times more code daily than in 2024. Anthropic is urging governments to prepare before this shift accelerates further.
