TLDR Tech / AI
Automating AI Research
AI is rapidly approaching end-to-end automation of its own R&D, with major gains in coding, experiment execution, and long-horizon task autonomy. Benchmarks show models now handle complex engineering and scientific workflows, manage other agents, and increasingly outperform humans on key subproblems. If trends hold, there's a ~60% chance of self-improving AI systems by 2028, leading to recursive progress, massive productivity gains, and a capital-heavy, human-light “machine economy.”
