This kind of back and forth reminds me of "The Dragons Are Coming" running joke. What they have in common with Ed Zitron is that they are both trying to sell you something. This is interesting.

The counterbalance to the AI doomers has always been the fact that they are selling 'readability'... Has frontier progress finally stalled? The average company and definitely average Joe will never be able to create meaningful work with this model.
