I’m not the OG commenter, but for me this is important because I see how gpt is replacing search, I can imagine they will play an increasing role in news. Which has two sides. One is the fact that people will read news summaries dinner by a system with a bias. Second is writing of the news with the same bias.

We’ve seen this before. Machine learning systems that were trained on past human decisions also learned biases from those decisions. Court ruling suggestions stronger for black than white. Job applicant analysis favouring men over women. Etc.

There’s a good book about that, if you’re interested: “Weapons of Math Destruction” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_Math_Destruction

cloud could be cheap, but it’s a lot of work, or at least attention. people get disappointed with the costs, paradoxically, because cloud is easy and, as you put, versatile. and often between any two options allowing to do the same thing, the easier one will be more expensive.

the biggest irony of the cloud is that many companies it seems, just like different species evolved into crabs, discover that all they need is a couple of own servers in a managed hosting environment, a CDN and outlook.
