I remember listening to Dr Robert Martin who was leading Bell Labs in the late 90s and he talked about how the bandwidth capacity was pushing to infinity while cost per bit was pushing towards zero and we all know how that ended for the optical capacity builders of that time before the bubble popped. Is there a case for intelligence being inexhaustible to demand ? Is there a case for, as Sama says, the cost for intelligence as in input to a system converges with the price of electricity needed to power the gpu behind it in the daya center? Yes and yes. Still the same could be said for a bit of bandwidth.
