I don't see how you can confidently say this when AI researchers and engineers are remunerated very well across the board and people are moving across companies all the time, if the plan is as you described it, it is clearly not working.

Zuckerberg seems confident they'll have an AI-equivalent of a mid-level engineer later this year, can you imagine how much money Meta can save by replacing a fraction of its (well-paid) engineers with fixed Capex + electric bill?

this is the same magical thinking Uber had when they were gonna have self driving cars replace their drivers
