There are teenagers that win gold medals on the math olympiad - they've trained on < 1M tokens of math texts, never mind the 70T tokens that GPT5 appears to be trained on. A difference of eight orders of magnitude.
In other words, data scarcity is not a fundamental problem, just a problem for the current paradigm.
