I think what stands out to me the most is big tech/big money now getting involved seriously. That has a lot of potential for acceleration just because of funding implications. I frequent some financial/stock websites and have noticed AI become not just a major buzzword, but even some sentiments along the lines of ‘AI could boost productivity and offset a potential recession in the near future’. The rapid release of LLM models seems to have jump started public interest in AI, what remains to be seen is what the nature of that interest manifests as. I am personally unsure if it will mostly be caution and regulation, panic, or the opposite. The way things are nowadays I guess there will be a significant fraction of the public completely happy with accelerating AI capabilities and angry at anyone who disagrees.

I think, we are entering a black swan and it’s hard to predict anything.
