I actually consider compilers more impressive, and a compiler was an important part of making this possible.

To each their own. I mean compilers didn’t produce trillions of dollars of investment, and produce serious and profound philosophical questions about the nature of consciousness but you’re right, thank god we have C
Compilers just made it all possible, but they are not new and shiny. LLMs did not produce the philosophical questions, but they do raise them. It's worth noting that computers have been changing the way we think about consciousness long before LLMs, largely thanks to compilers.
Yea there’s no logical stopping point when you use that logic. Why not say electricity or the element silicon?
