    The training costs effectively enter a “divide by infinity” argument given enough time.

    While they continue to train models at this time, eventually you hit a point where a given model can be used in perpetuity.

    Costs to train go down, whereas the usability of that model stretches on to effectively infinity.

    So you hit a point where you have a one time energy cost to make the model, and an infinite timescale to use it on.

      Costs to train are going up exponentially. In a few years corps are going to want a return on the investment and they’re going to squeeze consumers.
