The AI Industry’s Scaling Obsession Is Headed for a Cliff Huge AI infrastructure deals assume that algorithms will keep improving with scale. They may not.

I like that they still used the normal headline as a subheading.

Love the implication they would all lose touch with friends and family over the summer holidays and not just, y'know, use a different app or text.

Or you're based in Germany. Unfortunately, it might be a cursed new YouTube feature.

Yeah, I can imagine Americans using Man-OO-ka to help them get into an exaggerated Aussie accent. ManOOooOoka.

I often hear folks, who otherwise agree that Google monopoly = bad, saying that you shouldn't take away their default search engine deals because it would devastate Firefox and Mozilla. What are your thoughts on that?

Getting around Betteridge's Law of Headlines by tacking on "It Depends Who You Ask," is a bold strategy.
