That caught me eye too. The article says a bit more about it:

“I’d say it’s very much on its way out … it’s basically rotting underneath. The water is way too warm for it to maintain. It’s constantly melting,” he said.

“I expect that to continue in the coming weeks, and expect it won’t be really identifiable within a few weeks.”

The way I interpret that is that it will have broken up enough that it would no longer be identifiable as the single iceberg A23a, but there would still be lots of its ice floating around.

Those 4 particles per cubic meter are gonna have to do some heavy lifting

Ah yes, that makes sense along the <checks notes> 15 mile wide stretch of water that separates that area from Canada.

…and Perplexity’s scraping is unnecessarily traffic intensive since they don’t cache the scraped data.

That seems almost maliciously stupid. We need to train a new model. Hey, where’d the data go? Oh well, let’s just go scrape it all again. Wait, did we already scrape this site? No idea, let’s scrape it again just to be sure.

… a success note …

I know this was just a typo/auto-suggest error, but it feels like one of those silly self-censoring things the kids do these days.

That jumped out at me too. Giving the benefit of the doubt, it could be that this “snapshot” includes a very large amount of data that could be problematic if stored locally for longer. In reality, they probably do it this way for exactly this type of situation, so they can retain full control of the potentially-damning data.

Yep, nothing like that has ever worked…
