#EdZitron again.

Venture capital is now dominated by people that don’t build anything but worship at the altar of what they imagine a “builder” looks like. As a result, these people flock to founders that confirm their biases — those who are usually men, usually white, usually software engineers from big schools, usually building things that look and sound like everybody else.

Premium: The Silicon Valley Bubble (Part 1)

Friends, I believe we’re approaching the end of this era. Both OpenAI and Anthropic have filed the paperwork to go public, starting a race for exit liquidity for two companies that burn billions of dollars a year and have no path to profitability. Both of these companies are dogs.

Wow. #edzitron concludes a recent post by promising a bombshell

> One of my sources has come forward and brought me a story that will possibly burst the AI bubble. […] If you’re wondering what the story is, know that it’s the information I’ve wanted for years, delivered as I have always wanted it, and I will treat it with the reverence it deserves. Imagine what the worst possible thing for me to get would be and you’re probably close. […] I can guarantee you it’ll be worth it, and you’ll be stunned by what I report.

“I’m sorry to be a little surly and dismissive, but the AI industry has burned over a trillion dollars and I’ve spent two years being told I’m a luddite and an ape for not celebrating it. I don’t care! I’m not impressed! I’m not coddling this mediocre, expensive crap!“ #EdZitron #AI

Same, friend, same.

Enjoy tech commentator Ed Zitron's epic take down of the Ai boondoggle.
I certainly did.
A sample:
"I get it! When your entire worldview is dictated by what a series of venture capitalists and pseudo-journalists on Twitter want you to believe, it must be difficult to imagine someone having “morals” or “beliefs” or that one might hold a position that wasn’t entirely based on greed or tribalism. It must be confusing — upsetting, even! — to hear that somebody is willing to accurately and vociferously tear into a tech industry largely controlled by people with no regard for their users or workers, who are willing to bathe their products in mediocrity all because it’s the thing that everybody else is doing."

@phil_stevens a quick search on the #EdZitron hashtag yields exactly what you predict*. Watch starting @4 mins if you want a soundbite, or if you've time watch all 12 minutes, I enjoyed it.

There is absolutely something cleansing about listening to Ed Zitron rant for over 30 minutes about what bullshit AI is. #EdZitron #AI #generativeAI

@thomasfricke wenn man sich mal den Artikel von @pallenberg zusammen mit dem was #edzitron in https://www.wheresyoured.at/where-are-all-the-data-centers/ geschrieben hat ansieht, dann ist das alles ein einziger großer Beschiss, bei dem einige wenige #überreich werden. Zulasten des Gemeinwohls.

I sure do enjoy #EdZitron's podcast #BetterOffline. #AI's going to be a huge crash, but at least there's other people who can see the reality that the hype is desperately trying to paper over.

Here’s this week’s Better Offline. I run you through how Uber’s COO said the quiet part out loud - that AI’s outputs and efficacy do not match up with its ruinous costs - and how despite its bluster, the AI industry’s grift is failing. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/better-offline/id1730587238?i=1000769758292 Linktr.ee/betteroffline
