I mean, in relation to human timelines, so are computers in general. It's not close why you think that this is unique to LLMs.

There might be some confusion on your part on just how much AI compute has been installed in the past few years in relation to the total amount of CPU compute and the speed at which it was installed.

If the CPUs life was an hour, the GPU AI accelerator would have been around 5 minutes and is around 5x larger in total compute.

It should not be underestimated in any way the scale of what is occurring.
