It’s unlikely we are close to the peak IMO - the rate of improvement and discoveries appears to be increasing rather than decreasing, implying that we are still at the start of the curve. Progress doesn’t usually immediately stop, you would expect it to slowly flatten. It will absolutely need to be combined with other breakthroughs - but this is already happening. There are architectures in the works that allow AI agents to perform accurate calculations, search the internet, and check knowledge graphs. Then there is a whole raft of technologies yet to emerge which will embed this into real world work flows, which hasn’t really started happening in a significant way yet (bits and bobs but not to where it will inevitably will be). I just can’t see a world where there isn’t more progress in these technologies - I don’t know if they will be a ‘good’ thing or not for society as we know it, however with the rate of change at the moment we are unlikely to be anywhere near the destination of where the train goes.
