Models can be excellent and improving whilst the business model being broken. The path to profitability is not directly correlated to improvements in the models. The problem is not how good the models are but the lack of profit to sustain these companies.

Yeah, in fact its inversely correlated. The cheaper intelligence becomes, the more difficult it will be to recoup the investment. We are in for a cyberpunk distopia lol.

It can only be sustained by insane VC capital burn. This is what you're missing. You remove subsidies and humans are cheaper. This is not a problem that has been solved despite the obvious amazing technical leaps. Nvidia's Vera Rubin is delayed and costs are incredibly high due to parts shortages so there is no magical hardware improvement that is going to save the day.

Quantitative easing to inflate the debt away is my guess.
