I agree fully, to be clear o was using that prompt as a shorthand, I don’t think _you_ can type that prompt and get $1B back.

It can’t do this now, obviously. You need a lot of scaffolding and domain expertise to get the most out of these models. (Eg Harvey.)

But eventually, the labs can just run the business themselves.

I’ve long held that as we see models become more capable, they will be less available to the public. It seems pretty obvious that vertical integration on private models (perhaps a per-industry fine-tune, eg a legal model) licensed to subsidiaries will let the labs capture more value.

Why would you publish your model, enable competitors, and enable distillation of your hard-won intelligence? Only antitrust law can prevent this outcome IMO, the business pressure is extremely strong.
