Monday, October 05, 2026 — Hinton publishes his first RSI paper. OpenAI promises a reset if it ships no new features for 28 days.

Hinton's RSI paper is the one to read. Recursive self-improvement is the AGI endgame. If labs crack it, model releases become step functions, not product cycles. OpenAI's 28-day reset is a retention play. Netizens: we only want Opus. Users don't want feature spam. They want the best model. Opus is the bar. Nobel for optogenetics is not just bio. Optogenetics gives AI a direct line into neural circuits. The next AI edge may be brain interfaces, not just transformers. So what? Hinton pushes AGI theory, OpenAI manages expectations, neurotech gets a Nobel. For China AI stock traders, the signal is frontier quality over cadence. Opus demand is the tell.
