4. They're to process as much data as can be grabbed, all in parallel, each at a giant environmental hit (power, water.. )

Many times over! X, Meta, Google, Amazon, Apple, OpenAI, .... EVERYONE. (that we know of!!!!! )

The latest push is to grab every single medical record (now stored in silos -- providers --- and protected by HIPAA) on earth.

My prediction at this point is that massive LLM databases will all produce similar results, give or take bias (as in Musk pushing porn and child exploitation) and that part will commoditize as in "This shit comes free when you buy a phone" (Ask Apple about this).

Any focused verticals, such as medical or engineering may thrive, though without proprietary and private data, I wonder.
