  In other words, you can't just throw money at the problem.

    It's R&D and depends on a lot of new innovation to be solved (new ASIC hardware for real-time inferencing, new ML model types -- potentially a new breakthrough even).

    You need more of a targeted money laser than a money shotgun.
