No. The story of hardware development is a fucking legend, it's just tarnished by how completely fucking inept we are at using the gains. And it's apparently getting worse all the time - my mind boggled when Electron of all things turned standard, because I would've thought putting Chrome into everything (including low power scenarios) was an obviously fucking blitheringly idiotic idea, but here we are. LLMs have the same problem except probably orders of magnitude worse. Aside from possibly getting worse at developing better performance, we usually seem to beeline for a way to waste as much of it as we can. Moore's law, of course, is long dead.
