The tooling has become so good though - the eco-system around the LLM. The models have become really good, yes - but it's definitely slowed in my opinion. The tooling is what really has become great - "harness" is probably the best word. When folk like Elon/Schmidt/Theil/etc. talk about singularities and industrial revolutions - it sounds extremely out of touch - or actually protective of the massive capex they've potentially sunk.
EDIT: Schmidt's booed commencement speech was probably one of the most out-of-touch speeches (outside of a tech interview) I've heard.
Much of the recent improvement in models is in being trained specifically to make use of the tools the harnesses give them.
