   “I’m obliged to the anonymous reader who sent me the link to Matt   
   Shumer’s latest blog article about the current state of artificial   
   intelligence (AI).  It’s a remarkable article – so much so that I can’t   
   begin to cover all its points in a short post like this.  Here’s a small   
   sample to whet your appetite.”   
      
   "For years, AI had been improving steadily. Big jumps here and there,   
   but each big jump was spaced out enough that you could absorb them as   
   they came. Then in 2025, new techniques for building these models   
   unlocked a much faster pace of progress. And then it got even faster.   
   And then faster again. Each new model wasn’t just better than the last…   
   it was better by a wider margin, and the time between new model releases   
   was shorter."

   "I’ve always been early to adopt AI tools. But the last few months have   
   shocked me. These new AI models aren’t incremental improvements. This is   
   a different thing entirely."   
      
   I still ain’t buying it.
