AI progress to be linear, not exponential, due to 'lossy self-improvement'

AI progress is accelerating due to advanced models and coding assistants, leading to significant economic and job market shifts. However, the author argues against the concept of rapid recursive self-improvement (RSI) leading to a singularity. Instead, they propose that progress will follow a more linear path due to 'lossy self-improvement' (LSI), where friction and repetition limit exponential gains despite increased compute and agents.
