Import AI 453: Breaking AI Agents, MirrorCode, and Ten Views on Gradual Disempowerment
Jack Clark's weekly newsletter covers three major threads: METR/Epoch's MirrorCode benchmark showing Opus 4.6 can autonomously reimplement a 16,000-line bioinformatics toolkit (estimated 2-17 weeks of human work), methods for breaking AI agent benchmarks, and a structured survey of ten expert perspectives on gradual AI disempowerment risks. MirrorCode suggests current AI can complete certain multi-week software engineering tasks given good requirements and test cases.
