I'm not familiar with Zitron as a character, but the article disagrees with his critique of AI progress slowing with the rebuttle that AI is getting more efficient to build and use. That comports with my perception that much of the recent work in the field has been focused on making the technology more profitable. See special emphasis in the last 2 releases from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic. I do think that's a meaningful change in their messaging. I don't know what it means exactly, but they are clearly sending a message about economics.

I'm not a big user of AI for lack of interest, but have held for several years that I'd be more interested if it were faster and cheaper. If this form of AI is the future, I do hope it gets significantly more efficient, even if the capability caps out. I think there is plenty of room for interesting applications, if so.
