Great essay but this "Deep learning (does not) scale" I think is missing an important point. There are many ways to think about scale. If you think about a learned skill then that skill actually scales extremely well to other machines and thus to other industries that might benefit from the same skill.

In other words, Deep Learning scales as long as society can absorb it and apply it.
