Amazon is laying off 30,000 workers, after CEO Andrew Jassy laid the groundwork by talking up the productivity gains from AI over the summer, saying they'd need fewer employees.

Amazon's own workers, meanwhile, say that's BS. AI hasn't been "transformational"—AMZ just needs the $$ for data centers.

Not quite - Jimmy Saville was at Clarence House with Prince Charles.
Is Robert Peston a racist or a racist enabler?

There's been endless talk about an AI bubble, but less about exactly how, why, and how much it's a bubble. So I turned to the framework put forward by scholars Brent Goldfarb and David A. Kirsch, authors of "Bubbles and Crashes," for assessing tech bubbles.

Spoiler: On a scale of 1 to 8, AI is an 8
AI Is the Bubble to Burst Them All
