I can't believe more people don't point out his unbelievably bad track record of predictions. For a public figure, this should be incredibly damning.

This seems somewhat mean-spirited and light on the sort of facts that would justify the tone. It’s also bizarre to read this as the markets begin to plummet as investors begin to realize there’s no there there. Whatever you feel about the tech, the economics are stupid right now and seemingly entering at least correction territory.

Ed will get his 15 minutes of fame when the market finally corrects. But he'll still be completely wrong. It's hilarious how outdated his views on AI are. He literally doesn't know what people are using it for. He seems to have no clue that 50% of radiology and medical imaging labs in the US now heavily utilize AI. 40% of dental practices in the US are currently utilizing AI. Programming went the complete paradigm shift at least 18 months ago, and this buffoon still thinks it's vibe coding.

>"All right, well, Ed knows what that means." Does he, Mr. Ludic? I've never listened to the Zitron's podcast. But does he present himself as a financial expert? I've heard so many people that seem to think he is a financial wiz and use him to inform investment decisions.

>"The Soviets also spent seventy years predicting that capitalism would collapse any day now." If anything has the chops to prove both Zitron AND the Soviets right, it's AI.
