This may be in the $10^7 category now, but is there any reason to believe it will never be $10^3?

Oddly the most pressing concern is “increased productivity”.

Unless it has something like the intentional self-latching of bitcoin mining, I do not see how it wouldn't rapidly drop in price.

And if the models can be built once and then distributed, then it will certainly leak at some point, even if just intentionally by a hostile actor.

I can’t see how it could be conceived To work like bitcoin. The only reason that works is because a majority of humans agree to use the same code.
