Wow.
Tweet (yes, ugh, I know) from Seth Harper of New Yorker story on AI: The biggest capital outlay ever, for a product that no one will pay for. OpenAl loses ten billion dollars a quarter. There is no path to profitability for subprime Al. These absurd data centers will stand sentinel over the ruins of our fake economy like moai on Easter Island.

Just finished When the Wolf Comes Home, so that was Halloween appropriate. Now starting on Tana French‘s The Hunter.

I'm glad it's not just me. My initial impression is that it could easily edited down to a 300-page page-turner, but because it's Danielewski, I have to assume there's something important in the structure and language, which is why I'm waiting.

It’s slow going. It’s taken me a few months to get a third of the way in. Partly down to the fact I’m not great with ebooks, but it’s very long and very wordy. Enjoying it nonetheless. Reserving judgement on whether it could have been edited down til I reach the end.
