No American company is incentivized to make affordable models. Engs need to justify large budgets and salaries, CEOs want to raise lots of capital to help valuation, and Nvidia wants to sell massive GPU clusters. Similar happened with mainframes in the 70s/80s. Incumbents don't want efficiency!

I bought a shirty with the following cleaning instructions: Do not washing machine do not dry clean. Do not tumble dry. Hand wash only but do not rub. Am I supposed to just stare at the stains until they go away?
