Recursive's $670M Bet on Self-Improving AI, Sonnet 5.5 Hits 70%, Elon Co-Leads Pentagon Push | EP #299

Recursive's Richard Socher sees weak-form recursive self-improvement already underway but pegs true superintelligence decades out, not years.

• $670M bet: Richard Socher's Recursive raised $670M from Google Ventures, Greycroft, NVIDIA, AMD plus $410M AWS compute to pursue recursive self-improving AI.
• RSI timeline split: Socher says weak-form RSI exists now but full ASI (superior to all humanity combined) is "several decades" away, far past Elon Musk's 2029-2030 estimate.
