Are we hitting limits? AI S-curves and scaling uncertainty

JulesJacobs questions the trajectory of AI progress. He believes the current approach will work for some time, but notes that everything follows an S-curve and it's unclear how long we can keep stacking them. He suggests projecting that AI will achieve specific unsolved feats (like a better C compiler) is a "leap of faith".
