Import AI 469: Science AI; RSI simulator; and Zuck's technological pessimism

The autonomous researcher story is the real signal here. If AI can start running real experiments or literature searches without human direction, that changes what 'research acceleration' means in practice. Clark's coverage is usually reliable, so this warrants attention. What to do with it: start tracking whether tools like Claude can actually close the loop on hypothesis testing without human interpretation.

Import AI 464: Fable writes GPU kernels; AI automation; and analog computation

Jack Clark's roundups are consistently a good filter for what's actually moving in research versus what's noise, and AI systems writing their own GPU kernels is a real signal of automation creeping up the stack into infrastructure engineering itself. Worth the read for the kernel-writing item alone if you care about where compute efficiency gains come from next.
