The training costs effectively enter a "divide by infinity" argument given enough time.
While they continue to train models at this time, eventually you hit a point where a given model can be used in perpetuity.
Costs to train go down, whereas the usability of that model stretches on to effectively infinity.
So you hit a point where you have a one time energy cost to make the model, and an infinite timescale to use it on.
Costs to train are going up exponentially. In a few years corps are going to want a return on the investment and they're going to squeeze consumers.
I can't wait for this to happen. Any day now, surely.
