Because he's a salesman, and he's selling you bullshit.

What the experts are now saying is that it looks like the LLM approach to AI will require exponentially larger amounts of training data (and data processing) to achieve linear growth. Next generation AI models will cost ten times as much to train, and the generation after that will cost ten times as much again.

The whole thing is a giant con. Kevin is just trying to keep investor confidence floating for a little longer.

And the harder the sell, the worse the product.
