That's the thing people are missing, the models plateaued a while ago, still making minor gains to this day, but not huge ones. The difference is now we've had time to figure out the tooling. I think there's still a ton of ground to cover there and maybe the models will improve given that the extra time, but I think it's foolish to consider people who predicted that completely wrong. There are also a lot of mathematical concerns that will cause problems in the near and distant future. Infinite progress is far from a given, we're already way behind where all the boosters thought we'd be my now.


I believe Sam Altman, perhaps the greatest grifter in today’s Silicon Valley, claimed that software engineering would be obsolete by the end of last year.
