New hardware could greatly reduce inference and training costs and solve that issue

That's extremely hopeful and also ignores the fact that new hardware will have incredibly high upfront costs.
Great, so they just have to spend another ~$10 billion on new hardware to save how many billion in training costs? I don't see a path to profitability here, unless they massively raise their prices to consumers, and nobody really needs AI that badly.
