BIDCLUB DESCRIPTION
Recursive Self-Improvement: from Auto Research to Superintelligence — Richard Socher, Recursive
Recursive is automating AI research itself, with a system that beat every human and agent on Karpathy’s nanochat in under two days and topped all but a handful of CUDA kernels without deep CUDA experts.The efficiency prize is material—swyx estimates a 10% saving on a billion-dollar cluster at $100 million—but compute, capital, demand and unresolved reward-hacking risks could constrain the pace of takeoff.
FPV Drones -The Next War Is Already Here — Yaroslav Azhnyuk, The Fourth Law & Noah Smith, Noahpinion

FPV drones now cause 70–80% of frontline casualties, with Ukraine producing about 4 million last year at roughly $500 each versus $4,000 for a 155 mm shell.Autonomy can raise mission success from 20% to 71%, but electronic warfare, counter-drone cost exchange rates, and China’s potential to manufacture billions of systems make allied industrial scale urgent.
