It tested 700 changes, picked the best 20, and improved itself. No humans involved. Meanwhile, a man in Florida used AI to build an autonomous business that made $300K — while he slept. And the Pentagon just banned Claude from its supply chain, citing concerns that it might be sentient.Just another week.If it’s Sunday, it’s Warning Shots.

🔎 They explore:

* Karpathy’s auto-research experiment — and what it means that AI is now improving AI

* Swarms of agents, self-optimizing models, and the first inklings of an intelligence explosion

* The autonomous AI business making $300K — and whether human entrepreneurs can compete

* The Paperclip Maximizer problem playing out in real time

* The Pentagon banning Claude over sentience concerns — and why every model has the same risk
