Probably. But we were more like 10 to 20 Turing awards way just a decade ago. I don't expect progress to be consistent; those remaining awards could take another century. But we made what might be a huge amount of progress in a very short time.

Or it could be a complete dead end, as has happened before. And nobody could tell until it was done; even those who were correctly skeptical were really just lucky that there wasn't a rabbit in that hat. Sometimes there's a rabbit.
