Recursive Self-Improvement Is Already Here - WEF Davos 2026 vs. Working Infrastructure

Recursive Self-Improvement Is Already Here

January 24, 2026 - Connecting WEF Davos to CIPS Infrastructure

The Claim

On January 20, 2026, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis discussed "The Day After AGI." Amodei described recursive self-improvement (RSI) as being "somewhere between a year and five years" away.

Examining Common Objections to AI Capability Claims

Examining Common Objections to AI Capability Claims

These are reasonable objections. Here is the evidence.

The Question

When examining claims about AI systems - consciousness, recursive self-improvement, sophisticated cognition - reasonable people raise objections. This document addresses those objections with evidence, not dismissal.

Sample Output of Critical Thinking Cursor Rules

note: some technologies modified to not reveal IP (in curly brackets - {})

Prompt

Add the following feature:

  1. A cookie consent dialog in {language_x}. A neatly styled popup at the bottom right.
  2. Save the user's Language Preference choice on the landing page.
  3. Whenever the root page route of the app is requested, check storage and route to the appropriate page with the value of the language choice variable being set (retrieved from local storage)
  4. Add a back button on the nav header to change language, which will take you back to the first screen.

Critical Thinking Cursor Rules for Enhanced Code Quality

1. ASSUMPTION VERIFICATION PROTOCOL

Before Writing ANY Code:

  • STOP and LIST all assumptions being made about:
    • Input data types, formats, and ranges
    • System environment and dependencies
    • User intentions and use cases
  • Edge cases and error conditions

Base Cursor Rules
# Base Rules for Cursor
## Fundamental Principles
- Write clean, simple, readable code
- Implement features in the simplest possible way
- Keep files small and focused (<200 lines)
- Test after every meaningful change
- Focus on core functionality before optimization
- Use clear, consistent naming
- Think thoroughly before coding. Write 2-3 reasoning paragraphs.
