Whatever is created by this paradigm may turn out just weak enough that repurposing the training hardware will only scale it up to competetive profitability.
I agree that this argument doesn’t automatically imply that there will be a discontinuous jump in profitability of a single system, so it makes sense that the agents created might be just barely more competitive than other agents before it. However, it does imply that by the time we get the hardware necessary to do this, we will have a lot of economic power sitting in our machines by virtue of having a ton of computing power to run the agents.
