The Dominoes of Model Capabilities Will Fall Progressively

The author notes that while models have advanced rapidly since ChatGPT's release, they still lack several key capabilities: continuous learning, ultra-long effective context, state maintenance, long-term memory, and embodied/robotics skills.
They predict that as models continue to evolve, these "capability dominoes" will fall one by one. Human researchers will continue collaborating with stronger models, ultimately leading to greater model autonomy. The post acknowledges the associated risks but maintains an overall optimistic outlook for the future.
