Quotes:
Many in tech compare the situation to the COVID pandemic because of
the deceptive way doubling turns from apparently small increases to
monstrous leaps.

"Nothing, nothing, nothing, everything," was how a UK tech
entrepreneur and AI researcher described the situation to me a few
months ago, at a time when the METR chart was already looking fairly
vertiginous (although, in retrospect, it feels as if we were barely
approaching the foothills).

The progress since then makes many feel like we are rapidly
approaching "everything".
