From a mathematical point of view there are two factors: (1) Initial prior capability of prediction from the human agents and (2) Acceleration in the predicted event. Now we examine the result under such a model and conclude that:

The more prior predictive power of human agents imply the more a posterior acceleration of progress in LLMs (math capability).

Here we are supposing that the increase in training data is not the main explanatory factor.

This example is the gem of a general framework for assessing acceleration in LLM progress, and I think its application to many data points could give us valuable information.

Another take at a sound interpretation:

(1) Bad prior prediction capability of humans imply that result does not provide any information

(2) Good prior prediction capability of humans imply that there is acceleration in math capabilities of LLMs.
