    I’m arguing that the exponential improvements in AI that op was expecting are mostly wishful thinking.

    You not only have improvements on training methodology, but the models themselves get better, and the superstructure of multiple coordinated specialized models gets better. 3 years ago, AI generated video was nightmare fuel, now it’s basically photorealistic.

    AI creating AI is a recursive loop, and the tiniest acceleration amplifies exponentially in a recursive loop. AI programmers are going to become about as good as the average human programmer, it’s inevitable. It won’t be an LLM, it might be a structure of individually trained LLMs, it might be a superstructure of those structures, it might be something else entirely.

    Whatever it is, it’s going to happen. And once AI programmers are at least average, they can devote millions of virtual hours to make one a bit better than average, rinse and repeat. Once we hit that point, it skyrockets.

    I don’t know when it’ll happen, but I’m damn sure it will happen, and the conditions get more favorable every day.
