AI labs burn billions on data + compute

Models inch forward

"We beat the benchmark" 🎉

Rinse. Repeat.

But nobody cares about benchmarks anymore.

Nobody's hyped for LLM v10.

People want AI that works a full shift, cracks scientific problems, solves what's never been solved.

Then a new algorithm drops—one that actually learns like humans, not just memorizes terabytes of slop.

Everyone pivots their agents to it.

Game over.

"No one saw this coming" they'll say.

Except the ones who did.
