Human minds are built to find patterns, and you should be careful not to assume the rate of improvement will continue forever based on nothing but a pattern.

Just the fact that even retail quality hardware is still improving at local LLM significantly is still a great sign. If AI quality remained the same, and the cost for local hardware dropped to $1000, it would still be the greatest thing since the internet IMO. So even if the worst happens and all progress stops, I'm still very happy with what we got.
