I know! it's a crazy idea. it'll never work. but still.
Unclear why "service" is in quotes. Not many people get to be in the room where it happens. The people that do get to be in the room, absolutely do provide a real service to the rest of us who don't.
You answer your own question. There's no reason at this point in history the "room size" needs to be artificially limited. Was the Arm CEO paid for their time? If not, why not?
> absolutely do provide a real service to the rest of us who don't.
It's service for Arm not you. If you wanted unbiased analysis of Intel's position you might seek someone other than a direct competitor. Which makes paywalling this all the more baffling.
Especially since - see another comment thread here on HN - their "AI" thinks you're a regular reader when you click on them once per month.

So... pretty sure i don't read verge a lot either. And I get the paywall.
I understand the change, eventually there won't be any publications left, if people keep refusing to pay for them, and use ad blockers as well.
