Not sure if I read the article correctly but my understanding is that they simply made progress, after 11 years they gained an increase in 4 steps from 27 to 31 of 64 total meaning that if they can keep that up they'll get there in 121 years?

Smells like halving FUD
The findings demonstrate the first practical collision in the SHA-256 algorithm, albeit limited to the first 31 of its 64 steps.
