The U.S. firms let everyone skeptical go the second they had a marketable proof of concept, and replaced them with smart, optimistic, uncritical marketing people who no longer know how to push the cutting edge. Maybe we don't need momentum right now and we can cut the engines. Oh, you know how to develop novel systems for training and inference? Well, maybe you can find 4 people who also can do that by breathing through the H.R. drinking straw, and that's what you do now.
