I'm just not following the logic at all.
We build vastly more ambitious software today than we did in the 80s

That's an intentionally obtuse comment.
Compilers are widely available as open source software not coming from companies that need to justify a $1tn valuation ASAP for their development of LLMs.
Also the LLM = compiler comparison is generally just ridiculous. Their complexity, both internal and in usage for coding are multiple orders of magnitude apart.
