CFOs hear ten x and reach for the salt.
Anders Feld00:41:45–00:41:58
CFOs said the same about storage in 2005. The curve doesn't care.
Dr. Anders Feld00:42:00–00:42:20 · Selected passage
Inference cost falls ten x in eighteen months. Plan your business on it, because your competitors are.

What did the doubters get wrong?
Anders Feld00:49:36–00:49:51
