@edzitron Interesting you post this because you gave him a harder time on your show than most of your guests. I stopped watching after this interview.

@edzitron oversold? Sure. Scam - not quite sure it meets the definition. Programmers and vibe coders are accelerating their outputs daily. Linus Torvalds has put fixes in for Linux with it. This isn't Theranos, it's a working tool.

@edzitron Either sounds like a person who just doesn't know how to use it, or a PR hack being paid to take the contrarian view. Both are not very effective approaches.

@edzitron Interesting view. But AI with robotics is showing real results in manufacturing. Con? Not convinced yet :)

🔥OPENAI AND ANTHROPIC SHOULD NOT EVEN BE ALLOWED TO IPO: ED ZITRON Tech critic Ed Zitron said OpenAI and Anthropic’s financials are so bad they should not be allowed to IPO. He compared them to WeWork, the once-$47B startup darling whose IPO collapsed before it later filed for bankruptcy. Zitron claims OpenAI burned $20.9 BILLION in 2025, while costs keep rising with revenue. He warns of gen AI, saying, “there’s not really a business there.”

🔥ED ZITRON: "IF OPENAI FAILS, ORACLE IS IN THE TOILET" Zitron called OpenAI "the Lehman Brothers of AI" and says its collapse would shake the entire market. Oracle's credit rating was downgraded to one level above junk specifically because of its $340 BILLION data center buildout for a company that may never be able to pay. "OpenAI IS the AI bubble. There is not another entity on Earth who can afford to pay for Stargate. No one."

"This is very bad for the AI bubble" with Ed Zitron. Ed Elson: "Meta is reportedly planning a cloud business to sell its excess AI capacity. The company has poured billions into its AI infrastructure, and until now, Meta has maintained that all of those investments and the resulting compute capacity would be used for internal purposes. But clearly now, something has changed."
