you are fed content of desire that you cannot afford, lifestyles out of your reach
you are fed illusions of success, pills that will cure you, told that its your fault for struggling
you are shown images of division and violence, visions of fear and redundancy
this is not a world that has your interests at heart
it is a systematic extraction of your divinity
its time to opt out of the system

Nothing we do matters in the end, and that is precisly why we are not shackled by the burden of expectations, the fear of eternal judgement or the failure to meet up to an arbitrary definition of what makes our limited time "not wasted."
There are only 4 ways Frontier AI Labs will be able to earn defensible profits.
1. Monopoly/Duopoly via getting to RSI / AGI / ASI first with a large capability-gap away from Lab(s) #2/#3 which lasts for a sufficiently long time to farm significant superprofits
2. Monopoly/Duopoly via Regulation / Policy / Special Mandates / Partial Nationalization
3. Use frontier AI to design/utilize/sell superior new Hardware / Chips / Infra / Networking.
4. Compete with their own customers... in Domains where even a tiny advantage from SOTA AI Models compounds and results in winner-take-all effects and where SOTA is more easily monetizable (Applied Science, Bio, Pharma, Patentable Materials, Cyber, Trading, etc.)
Frontier Labs are trying to do all 4 simultaneously. Some of these are obviously harder than others.
Without successfully execution on some combination of these, margins will gradually shrink.
Financiers of the coming OpenAI private round and the coming Anthropic IPO understand this calculus. That is why almost all of the marketing, messaging, blog posts and PR coming out of the labs is always trying to signal an improvement in one of the 4 items above.
