>there's no ceiling to what scaling more will buy you in terms of capability

This is highly doubtful.

Rule of thumb: everything people think is exponential is actually an S curve.

There's a limit that won't be breached without a fundamental breakthrough in physics of computation, but we're not there yet by a long shot. You can train bigger models, faster, and infer with them faster and more precisely, by throwing more compute at the problem for the foreseeable.

  • At some point, and I can already see it, they’ll be better than us at writing code. We are still in the loop to coerce them into architecting well, but that’s nothing magical.

    What’s frontier now is prosumer in a couple years and commonplace in a couple more.
