Before the superintelligence era, Tesla’s iterating and scaling of its own inference computers for each car sold was, in retrospect, unprecedented.
The current compute shortage is only the tip of the iceberg. When autonomy becomes indispensable, the real shortage will follow.

We are buying something that clones itself
The article argues that the AI startup wave is unsustainable because intelligence is an infinitely replicable commodity with zero marginal cost, and most AI companies will collapse by 2029, leaving only a few giants owning the physical layer like energy and chips.
