Scale AI Acquisition Said to Have 10x Return

The post claims that Meta's acquisition of Scale AI has "already returned 10x."
It recalls external skepticism about Meta's approximately $15 billion investment in building a superintelligence team, and points out that after Meta demonstrated model progress and launched Muse Spark 1.1, the company's market cap increased by about $230 billion in 48 hours. The poster uses this to argue that the expenditure was "worth it."
