"It's a bubble!"
Here is the graph you need to understand. What looks like a bubble is just the visible edge of an exponential. Each 100x jump in compute pushes us into a new capability regime.
Pretraining is still accelerating toward the noise floor and following scaling laws. Somewhere along that path, it's possible that we get superintelligence.
Intelligence too cheap to meter
In nine months we have seen HLE 0.21 → 0.43, MMMU Pro 0.68 → 0.81, Toolathlon 0.1 → 0.49, and $/mtok $10 → $3.
"Intelligence too cheap to meter" is on the horizon.

Irving John Good's prophecy
Sixty years ago Irving John Good somehow intuited the trajectory we are living through. It's all here - the role of computers in helping humanity endure, neural networks, the mechanization of intelligence, recursive self-improvement, alignment...just remember:
The survival of man depends on the early construction of an ultra-intelligent machine.
