The author argues that current AI progress has not hit a "ceiling" but is still accelerating, especially in:
- Intelligence, agency, and computer use are rapidly improving
- Model training future models and inference efficiency gains will continue to drive progress
- The conclusion: there will be many "super agents" significantly surpassing humans in various digital tasks
The overall message emphasizes that AI development has no clear wall and capability expansion will accelerate.
