This last year has been exhausting. The PR departments of the frontier labs have done an excellent job convincing us that AI developments are occurring at an astounding, world-changing rate. But if you zoom out, it becomes clear that almost every “breakthrough” since last summer has concerned the narrow domains of computer code and math, which are defined by highly structured languages and come accompanied by massive amounts of specialized training data.

Theyve also been trying to gaslight everyone (especially investors) into thinking that software engineering is in some sense "solved" because otherwise the bubble goes pop and their share prices collapse.
