That's an argument for cheap massive parallelism, which is what's behind the recent math breakthroughs, not expensive low latency serial compute.

I vaguely recall some of the recent math breakthroughs being less about parallelism and more about serial compute. A lot of, "Keep trying," "Try harder," "Try another way," etc.

Regardless, I think both things are great, horizontal (more approaches) and vertical (deeper approaches). And both are made more practical with faster inference.
