I’m so far removed from how that stuff works that it often sounds insane to me. Maybe someone who knows can explain it.

Do the people with money not actually care about making more money? Aren’t they first and foremost concerned with your chances of financial success?

These people can’t possibly be thinking, “Well they say they spent an absolute shit ton on inference… they’re definitely going to be big winners!” and cutting massive checks, right?

It's the shotgun approach. The people writing checks only need a few bets to pan out. I think it's more enticing for investors, especially if they're true believers in AI, if it means fewer workers to share equity with, pay benefits to, etc...
