Recursive Superintelligence: $500M at $4B (GV + Nvidia), 4-month-old company building closed-loop recursive self-improvement; convergent naming with A1's core concept.
A company named Recursive Superintelligence raised five hundred million dollars at a four billion valuation to build closed-loop recursive self-improvement, incorporated two days before the book's print publication. The register is precise about what this row claims: convergent naming and convergent mission, no derivation, no awareness. A half-billion-dollar bet on exactly the system class the manuscript analysed, with no published safety architecture, is the strongest possible demonstration that the manuscript was analysing the right thing.
Open the primary source above. Confirm the date. Confirm the finding. Then compare it against the manuscript passage or artifact named in the register entry, whose SHA-256 hash is published on the evidence page. Nothing in this article asks for trust; the entry either survives that comparison or it comes off the register, publicly, the way the programme's retracted scaling figure did.
