Summary
The post argues that as recursive self-improvement becomes feasible, ambitious builders can create their own AI frontier labs, with OpenAI and Anthropic's models potentially becoming the standard rather than monopolistic leaders.

This is already starting to happen. If you believe RSI is achievable, why shouldn’t it be possible for ambitious builders to build their own frontier labs? Understanding how to conduct AI research and build evals is key. And so is owning your intelligence stack.
MTS (@MTSlive): SF Compute CEO @evanjconrad on his contrarian thesis that OpenAI and Anthropic won’t eat the world, everyone will become OpenAI and Anthropic instead:
“Our impression is not that OpenAI and Anthropic will eat the world, it’s that everyone will look like OpenAI and Anthropic.
