I think the next 5 years will be one of explosive AI progress but sudden and rapid stagnation and an AI winter will follow after that.

The reason I think this is because we're rapidly running out of training data as bigger and bigger models essentially get trained on all the available data on the internet. After that data is used up there will be nothing new for bigger models to train on.

Since hardware is already stagnating and data will be running out the only way to make progress would be to make breakthroughs on the AI architectural front, which is going to be linear in nature again.

I'm a Computer Scientist by trade and while I work with AI systems on a daily basis and keep up with AI papers I'm not an AI expert so I could be wrong on this front.

Dumbass. Anyone who accuses the optimists of being the only side that's patronizing has clearly not read... pretty much everything posted by self-proclaimed cynics and skeptics, in every futurism community ever, for at the bare minimum the past 11-12 years. You seem like an idiot and I'm saddened that, rather than simply being left blissfully unaware that you exist, you had to post this single stupid-ass thread to preserve the memory of your moronic ass inside my brain.
