AI:AM LIVE — June 2, 2026 — Self-Improving Tax Agents and Catholic AI: Arthur Fernandes Araujo, John de Wasseige, Matthew Harvey Sanders

Day two of AI in the AM, live from the morning of June 2, 2026. OpenAI forward-deployed engineers Arthur Fernandes Araujo and John de Wasseige walked through the self-improving tax agent they built with Codex for thirty-plus accounting firms — what the self-improvement loop actually is, what changed for the accountants, and where the profession is headed. Nathan brought field notes from the Recursive RSI conference in San Francisco, speed-running four papers on personas, metagaming, accidental chain-of-thought training, and natural language autoencoders. Matthew Harvey Sanders, CEO of Longbeard and builder of Magisterium AI, joined from Rome a week after attending the Vatican release of Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical on AI, and made the case for why sovereign Catholic AI is not optional.
