Unfortunately, they will learn the wrong lessons from this fact; instead if trying a new approach, they'll try to scale it more and hope that """fixes""" it (it won't). Then, they'll go crying and screaming and shitting their pants to the VC funds, demanding more funding for """Inference""", only to immediately light it on fire when they get it, because this technology is so incredibly wasteful it literally doesn't make any sense to pursue unless you already make hundreds of billions of dollars a year in revenue.
This is how the US Economy is structured now. Everything hinges on the 7 stocks that facilitate this. We are soon to be over a TRILLION DOLLARS into an infrastructure buildout for datacenters that incinerate money faster than light, for a technology that never worked and never will.
