I Have Been Writing About AI For 6 Years: Something Changed This Summer
The Algorithmic Bridge Alberto Romero
Opinion — commentary, not a factual news event.
An AI analyst says that his writing about AI changed from optimism to a darker, more anxious view as AI capability advances accelerated into what he calls faster-than-absorbed change. He points to a shift “past year” in which progress has become so front-page and rapid that skepticism now requires more effort than the labs must spend to improve models. As a result, he argues AI’s impact may become both more evenly distributed across people and more psychologically destabilizing, with his own sense of safety and preparation no longer feeling secure.
