    It has to eventually, right? It’s just straight up not sustainable, especially in its current form. But I do think the hype will carry things along for a little bit. No doubt things are gonna be ugly in the meantime

      I big game machine that gives money to rich people isn’t going to break until there literally isn’t any more money left.

        Yeah you’re not wrong. The AI market only exists in its current state because it’s heavily subsidized, and that very well may continue to be the case for at least the time being
