Researcher Jsevillamol shares five updates: capabilities and revenue growth sit at 80% of his expected pace; alignment is as weak as expected but AIs are more coordinated than predicted; incidents are escalating in severity as he forecast; public salience is growing faster than expected, making AI likely the top 2028 election issue with a significant chance of regulatory slowdown; and cybersecurity remains the top short-term risk, as predicted.
