Neoclouds: These firms you've never heard of are feeding fears the AI bubble could burst
The amount of debt held by data centres is measured in the tens of billions of pounds.

A lot of pundits are making the very bold claim 'whoever wins AI... wins'.
That ignores the fact that Westlaw and several similar services rely on (very) paywalled high-quality datasets.
The 'Claude Crash' showing that while it was cheaper than Westlaw... it wasn't optimized for one very specific task. For example, it will 'push back' on ambiguous questions OR list interpretations from case law (where used).
Heck, lawyers thrive on picking apart a sentence, applying corkscrew reasoning and false equivalences.
As the author Robert Barr noted 'Caselaw is like the Bible, you can always find something to make your point'.
