One storyline runs through investors staring at rising chip and data center bills, another through a browser that can click and scroll on your behalf, a third through a lab hunting for enough cash to keep training at full speed, and a fourth through a quiet dashboard that turns social chatter into a content pipeline. The shared tension is simple: intelligence is getting more powerful, more automated, and more expensive, and everyone from CFOs to marketing teams has to decide what they are truly willing to hand over.
