Not thanks to "Moore's law". Thanks to the countless engineers who made that happen, and whose work is much more important for today's AI systems than the theory that was cooked up in the 60s and 70s.
Your comment is a typical example of the hero-worship towards theorists, and the casual disregard towards engineers, that is so common in today's science culture.
Any above-average grad student could reinvent the perceptron network from scratch. Good luck having a grad student (or even a Nobel laureate) redesign the H100 GPU from scratch.
