I mean, the plan is to use these models to find and solve those gaps. That's kind of the whole pitch of these companies: they spend a TON of money upfront setting up this infrastructure, but each iteration yields a system capable of making the next iteration even better.

>The kickers is that if they do achieve (and solve) AGI in this way all the giant data centers would be mostly useless.

Perhaps. But only at that point, not leading up to that point.

It's kind of like setting up scaffolding to build something. You spend all of that time and money to build something just to tear it down in the end. But the point is that it's simply a cost to be able to build the actual thing you're building.

If these companies are able to achieve the results they're looking for, none of the investors involved are going to care that the datacenters and infrastructure they spent so much money.
