Reading conflicting info on limits online. Sources that spout we can still cram even MORE transistors into finite space cite 3D constructions, but wtf have we been building all along then? 2d?

Yes.

basically, new tech is what they call all around gates

the handwavy answer is semiconductor devices are made from a chunk of silicon crystal by structuring the top one layer at a time.
primitive cpus had under 3-10 layers (depending on how you count). modern cpus have 30+ layers.
fabricated 3d structures using lots of layers is challenging because the layers have to be very well aligned. 3d structures also have more difficulty diffusing heat.

2032 is when they will start to build up on the node. Future chips aren't pancake.

In theory, sure, in practice your thermal budget would blow up. Cooling is proportional with surface area, heat production scales with area and active layers.

Hand the 3D All-Around Gate problem to the AIs and let them improve themselves for a few generations. Win-win.

Moore's law is death, parallelization and self optimizing algos are giving productivity returns that are the equivalent of 5 OOMs impeovements each 2 years
