I've said this before on my blog, but the new metaphor I've been using is drug development.
It costs billions to develop a drug (model) and pennies to produce the actual pill (tokens).
The government regulates the drug industry to give companies an exclusive period to recoup the costs before generics can jump in.
AI lacks that regulation which means frontiers are guaranteed to just bleed to death.
