But is it a race to zero? Maybe AI will make very expensive things (eg software engineering) very cheap, but there will be enough competition that the margins are tiny and don't actually justify putting crazy dollar amounts into research

That's exactly what's happening. Software -> 0 marginal cost (obviously still need engineers to actually make the architecture). LLMs -> Price of Energy / Amortized Cost of GPUs. "AI Labs" -> Owned by Creditors
