there are some questionable linkages in that article, in the rush to discuss "the big numbers"
specifically, core AI "foundation" models are (supposedly) built once, while tuning and interaction follow, with less energy for each activity. If the infrastructure arms-race settles down (not there yet) then what does this technology do .. in markets? to society? for investors?

When people realize that their jobs are being replaced, that suddenly ads for lotteries and junk food are a lot more plentiful, that ads are auto-generated and placed in every conceivable device while human needs are visibly shortchanged (housing). Yes, actually, there might be consequences to all that.. is that the implied question, too?
