It's this take on the situation which I think needs more emphasis.

Whether anyone likes it or not, these systems have co-evolved with us.

Hundreds of researchers contributing and just like English for example, it's ever-changing and evolving.

Given this trend, it's highly unlikely we won't achieve ASI.

It's not like hardware engineers stop innovating or venture capital stops wanting more. There might be a massive dip or even another AI winter but like the last one, eventually it picks up momentum again because there's clearly utility in these systems.

I've been coding for 25+ years and only a couple of days ago did it hit me that my profession has changed in a very dramatic way - I'm very critical of AI output, but I can read and comprehend code much quicker than I can write it relative to these systems.

Of course, that creates a barrier to holding a system in your head so going slow is something that should be pushed for when appropriate.
