Summary

A short pointer post: Scott's article summarizing AI-progress forecasts (a five-year check-in on Grace et al 2017) is at Asterisk Magazine, not here, plus brief blurbs on the other articles in Asterisk's AI issue (GPT-4 red-teaming, China AI, the transistor cliff, the explosive-growth debate, etc.). The substance is external; this is a teaser/table-of-contents.

Why this score

Quality 50 · Solid. Solid/minor edge: a teaser pointing offsite, with only brief framing of its own; the actual content lives elsewhere.

Claude’s paradigm shift 28 · Slight. Slight: a pointer, no developed ideas here.

Real-world impact 1 · Negligible. Negligible-minor: drives readers to an external magazine issue.
