"Progress in AI is not coming from abstract reasoning. It is coming from an increase in raw power[...]" As has been argued in these pages many times before there has been no obvious progress in AGI, although certainly progress in AI in its weak sense has been impressive in the last few years. I know you didn't say AGI but its important to make that distinction as the book was very interested in that as a subject.
