Alternative interpretation of the numbers; there's only a subset of productive work that LLM's are 'capable' of doing at this point. That is, work that's verifiable by a machine or doesn't require verification. Thus, the cleavage points are along that axis and-- naturally-- most human beings don't have that kind of work.
The swarm-based HF hack, and the observation that 40-50% of the compute at AI labs goes into training the next generation of agents, doesn't count?
We're all over here using agents to code projects that used to take weeks and feeling pretty good about it, and they're using agents to build the next generation of frontier models — an order of magnitude more complex problem...
Whenever someone finds out how to apply this level of agentic sophistication to a problem that actually matters to consumers, then you'll have that monument that everyone can see.
