'Scaling laws' are not laws. They are an industrial strategy. Like Moore's Law. Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman et al's airport books lay it out - Blitzscaling as a way to crush competition and earn monopoly rents. So the story has to be that bigger is better.
At Google, I asked why they were fixated on building THE LARGEST model.
Why are you going for size?
What function are you trying to achieve?
Why is the thing you were upset about that you didn't have THE LARGEST model?
They responded by firing me 🤷🏼

What was interesting about algorithms?
The challenge of doing X with as few resources as possible (memory, power, etc).
What are OpenAI + friends doing? The opposite.
"Lets assume we have unlimited resources & try to build a god."
No wonder they're losing their shit with the DeepSeek thing.

Faccio fatica a scrivere sui social ormai: questione di tempo (che manca) e di tempi (che corrono: non inclini al sereno, diciamo). E credo che i social non siano più il mezzo migliore per far circolare o intercettare idee. Ma Twitter mi piaceva perché l'ho sempre usato come sostituto del feed RSS.
