That is ultimately where it is headed and has been headed for over 100 years now.

The question is when will we get there.

If the answer is tomorrow, money means nothing and none of these investments matter. If the answer is 30 years, well lots of money to be made up until the inflection point of machines being able to design, build, and repair themselves.
