[Prologue — The Cold Ledger]
▶ They sketched a world in endless space,
Pixels flowing, time erased.
But every frame needs power and steel,
Capital counts what dreams conceal in. 💡📊
A trillion tokens whisper light,
Yet video gulps a darker night.
Bandwidth eats the margin whole,
Ledgers rule — not verbal soul. ⚙️🌑
[Act I — The Ask]
A lab knocks softly, asks for more,
“Just a few hundred million — maybe four.”
Slides glow bright, equations clean,
But the burn-rate screams between needs. 🧮🔥
Another build ships day and night,
Text to tools to agents in flight.
One patch deploys, ten products born,
Cash returns by every morn, no, no, no. 🚀💼
[Chorus I — The Capital Filter]
Markets don’t hate, they don’t adore,
They price the future by the core.
Compute per user, cost per day,
Scalability decides the way. 📈⚖️
Markets don’t hate, they don’t adore,
They price the future by the core.
If marginal cost explodes the chart,
The checkbook never makes a start. 💸🚫

Markets don’t hate, they don’t adore,

The checkbook never makes a start. 💸🚫

The checkbook never makes a start. 💸🚫
[Act II — The Compute Cliff]
Continuous worlds demand a flood,
Frames per second drink the blood.
Render now, render again,
Each viewpoint doubles silicon pain. 🧠⚡
Text compresses thought to bone,
Symbols travel light, alone.
One server feeds a million minds,
Economics draws the lines. 🧩📉
[Bridge — Five Frameworks Speak]
Coase reminds: costs must fall,
Or firms dissolve — they can’t scale all.
Hayek signals — price and speed,
Real-time markets choose the lead. 📘⚡
Schumpeter smiles: destruction reigns,
Christensen nods: disruption gains.
Porter’s moats evaporate fast,
When software compounds, wide and vast. 🏰🌊
[Chorus II — Pocket Change Reality]
Pocket change for ivory dreams,
When burn-rate breaks the margin seams.
Not a judgment, not a fight,
Just unit economics in sight. 🧾🔍
Pocket change for ivory dreams,
When burn-rate breaks the margin seams.
Capital whispers, calm and slow:
“Build cheaper… or no.” 💬❄️

[Act III — The Comparison]
One founder signs a trillion path,
Power plants, chips, and aftermath.
Agents ship, adoption hums,
Revenue loops — the future comes on. 🌍🔁
Another polishes a perfect view,
But every user costs times two.
The market shrugs, adjusts the bet,
Opportunity cost is a debt. ⏱️💥
[Final Chorus — Capital Says No]
Capital says no without a sound,
No op-ed war, no faculty frown.
It funds what ships, what scales, what stays,
And leaves the rest to conference days. 🎤📚
Capital says no without a sound,
Because arithmetic runs the ground.
When compute eats the product whole,
The checkbook closes — end of role. 🔒📐

[Epilogue — After the Bell]
This wasn’t spite, nor bias shown,
It was watts and dollars overthrown.
Civilizations don’t run on flair,
They run on systems people share. 🌐🧠
Professors speak, but markets choose,
Not truth — but what the world can use.
And when the bill arrives on time,
Capital answers… every time. 🧮⏳
