This was an eye-opening assertion:

Two studies independently concluded that the capabilities of the leading AI models have been doubling about every four months since 2024, and that rate is accelerating. Even if the current rate holds steady, by the 2028 election, the best AI models will be 250 times more capable than those of today.

The implications of AI capabilities 250 times more powerful—let alone more than that—are difficult to comprehend. Their potential to accelerate scientific research, transform education, and create entirely new industries is enormous. (source)

Anytime I read a story like this, I wonder, What if we could have been kinder and gentler with the people? What if it hadn’t been rammed down people‘s throats, data centers built so near people’s houses, causing noise pollution and burdening electric and water in communities?
