Results show AI is getting twice as good at the rate of about every<br>
seven months and experts say the trend is speeding up.<br>

Quotes:<br>
Many in tech compare the situation to the COVID pandemic because of<br>
the deceptive way doubling turns from apparently small increases to<br>
monstrous leaps.<br>
<br>
"Nothing, nothing, nothing, everything," was how a UK tech<br>
entrepreneur and AI researcher described the situation to me a few<br>
months ago, at a time when the METR chart was already looking fairly<br>
vertiginous (although, in retrospect, it feels as if we were barely<br>
approaching the foothills).<br>
<br>
The progress since then makes many feel like we are rapidly<br>
approaching "everything".<br>
