Aren't they proving the opposite of your proposed alternative already? A limited AI is not making them money and since every new model becomes obsolete within a year, they can't just stop and enjoy the benefits of the current model.

The fact that it isn’t making money now isn’t indicative it never will. I can think of a lot of very large tech companies who people once said the same about.

It’s an arms race, then, no? Whichever company can survive the burn can sit on their LLaurels and recoup?

That's the thing, nothing points to a world with a single winner in AI models. I get what you are saying, but not sure OpenAI can survive the burn unless they build an unmatchable AGI. And that's pure speculation at this point.

I mean, someone needs to rise to the top, unless society as a whole just says "There's no value here." and frankly there's too much real value right now for that. So someone's surviving, at least at the service level. Maybe they just end up building off of open source models, but I can't see how the best brains in the business don't find a way to get paid to make these models. Am I missing something?
