Here's the paradox nobody wants to discuss: massive funding rounds look great on paper, but they're masking a brutal reality underneath. The computational firepower needed to train and run these models keeps climbing, and it's become the elephant in the room for profitability. Revenue growth? Sure, it's impressive. Yet it remains shackled to the same computing infrastructure costs that refuse to scale down proportionally. You raise billions, you hire the best talent, you hit ambitious targets—but your biggest expense doesn't budge. That's the tension nobody's really solving.

Basically, it's a money-burning game; no matter how much funding is raised, it can't fill that computing power black hole.

Basically, it's a money-burning game. Raising funds looks good on paper, but it's all nonsense.

So basically, it's a money-burning game. The fundraising numbers look good, but the real exorbitant computing power costs are right there, and no one can bypass them.

No matter how attractive the financing window is, it can't save the black hole of computing power costs. This is the real escape velocity issue.

Basically, it's a money-burning game. Having impressive fundraising numbers doesn't mean much; no one can get past the hurdle of computing power costs.
