Cool I guess. Kind of a meaningless statement yeah? Let's hit the bend, then we'll talk. Until then repeating, 'It's an S Curve guys and what's more, we're near the bend! trust me" ad infinitum is pointless. It's not some wise revelation lol.

Maybe the best thing to say is we can only really forecast about 3 months out accurately, and the rest is wild speculation :)

History has a way of being surprisingly boring, so personally I'm not betting on the world order being transformed in five years, but I also have to take my own advice and take things a day at a time.

If you say so. It's clear you think these marketing announcements are still "exponential improvements" for some reason, but hey, I'm not an AI hype beast so by all means keep exponentialing lol

I'm not asking you to change your belief. By all means, think we're just around the corner of a plateau, but like I said, your statement is nothing meaningful or profound. It's your guess that things are about to slow down, that's all. It's better to just say that rather than talking about S curves and bends like you have any more insight than OP.
