ResearchBuzz: FirehoseWhere’s Your Ed At: Cargo Culture. “The staunch rationalists of the Bay that have built brands convincing people they’re immune to the influence of groupthink need you to think exactly the same way that they were told to. Why would everybody agree to do something so stupid? Why would everybody act so crazily? It’s simple: the tech industry has completely run out of ideas, and all that’s […]

The AI Industry Must Stop “Doom Trolling”
Ed Zitron talks with computer science professor and writer Cal Newport about AI companies “doom trolling” consumers using scary stories about conscious computers, and how we need to make fun of the scare-mongering and ridicule the executives peddling in it.

Credit Where Credit Is Due
I have previously noted I am not a fan of Ed Zitron’s writing on A.I., which I think is driven more often by adherence to narrative than by genuine skepticism. Even so, his newsletter is extremely popular, and occasionally that pays off with honest-to-goodness scoops. Yesterday, he got a big one — a smattering of […]

Dread Pirate (Tom) RobertsI really enjoy Ed Zitron’s commentary on the state of AI.
I think he’s approached it with the level of scrutiny it deserves, which is far greater than many other commentators have done.
That and I love his general disgruntled demeanour, and an accent that pronouces “datacentres” without using a ‘t’.
Ed Zitron has a fairly big exclusive leak on OpenAI’s finances.
It’s been known for a while that this industry is horribly unprofitable, but here’s some actual numbers.
$13bil in revenue with an end result of $38bil in losses.
Whatever one thinks of the usefulness of AI, these companies need to increase revenue massively and/or reduce costs greatly.
Neither of these things look likely to happen.
