Diamonds need to become even cheaper. I want phone screens and glasses made out of single sheets of diamond. I want heatsinks and kitchen knives made out of the stuff.

Isn't diamond too brittle for all these applications?

No. Less brittle than normal glass, but not as good as certain ceramics.

Glass is very brittle, ceramics are also quite brittle. So the "no" isn't obvious.
