There are two questions I ask people making a product bet:
1) How will you know if you were wrong?
2) What can you do if you're wrong?

The answers for a bad bet are "we won't" and "nothing."

And that's exactly what big tech is doing: rushing forward with eyes closed and fingers in their ears.
"The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year... In a way, then, America has become one big bet on AI."

Just saw someone repeat the refrain that The System Is Working As Intended and if there is one thing I know about systems theory it is that systems NEVER work as intended.

Some systems fail more, some less, but NONE are exactly aligned whit their purpose.
