>The top open models are already good enough.

Rare opportunity for me to actually downplay frontier AI for a change. We can do a lot better. I think the next 6 months will be a stream of releases that shall leave all the current models in the dust. Opus 4.6 will be no more relevant than 3.5 Sonnet.

If this is the case, all bubble talk will have to be re-evaluated.

Why would it need to be re-evaluated? The financials haven't changed, the end goal hasn't changed, even if the AI is better or more useful, the stuff Zitron puts out assumes AI will continue to get better until the money runs out. Unless the AI genuinely starts taking jobs en masse (and not just being used as an excuse for layoffs), they're still in the same situation.

This is categorically false. The big part of his "thing", from the first moment he ever started talking about AI, is the insistence that AI isn't getting better and very soon undergo a devastating collapse.
