It's not clear that compute will scale as it did for the next 33 years. But it doesn't really need to.

I read the article and I was thinking "my God, I remember I used MSE that weekend in my pet ML project and it really didn't work out that well; wrong loss function." Our current crop of LLMs, or the one next year, will be perfectly able to tell me how I can improve my code and graphs, which means that I can deploy some expert-level techniques that otherwise would be "locked" to me by 50000 hours of "mastery acquisition".

A part of me is telling me that we humans are doomed, and that in 33 years we would have created a world in which we humans are irrelevant. But another part tells me that if we avoid that fate and all the other dooms, the future might just be quite bright.
