> This work is a somewhat obvious progression from a lot of other prior work in the literature... but that doesn't make the results any less impressive.

Everything takes figuratively forever to train, and the field is moving incredibly fast, so everything you see is both directly adjacent to previous work and also impressive.

To me, this represents the best of science--that we can collectively make rapid progress without having to invoke an Einstein figure to make some magical leap!

I replaced "somewhat obvious" with "natural," which better conveys what I actually meant to write the first time around

This is a natural progression from prior work. It's a compliment :-)
