It seems like, once the IPO is done, this flood of papers will dry right up: the inherent value of the papers themselves is unlikely to justify the cost to churn them out. It makes as much sense as OpenAI churning out hundreds of slopped programs no-one wants to run, or hundreds of novellas no-one wants to read: it's just showing they can.
These papers are just first steps. They are going to keep churning out papers, in part because the generated papers are going to get better. And better.
