Monologue: It's The Beginning Of History - Better Offline
In this week's Better Offline monologue, Ed Zitron talks about the end of tech’s hypergrowth era, generative AI’s failure as a business model, and why we need to stop looking to the past to prove that the future will work out.

My favourite take-away quote from the brilliant "Hater Season" series by @Zitron (the one with @Quinnypig).

Chris Dillon 🌹@mttaggart I think we'll find an optimal path. Web to find meetups, #betteroffline. RSS webrings. Trust circles. Comments off. Algo disabled. A generation of kids raised sick of it before their 20s.
There are natural consequences. Code has to work. If it works, craftsmanship didn't matter. If someone can change it, it was fine. If someone never has to change it, the design didn't matter.
There is still human connection. If someone put effort in, and aren't lying, I will appreciate their effort. If someone prompts and that's all they did, I'm not going to care. It's not art. Some stuff is boring *and* impressive and art and not business cat. 🐱 TempleOS, 64KB demoscene, the golden disc on the Voyager spacecraft.
Mrs.Malice ❤️🔥✨I saw someone say there’s an episode of #BetterOffline at #CES2026 where Ed Zitron pushes back on Cory Doctorow a bit about AI/LLMs. Anyone know which one it was? I want to go look for it, but there are several CES eps with Cory so it could take a minute.
