Ed Zitron newsletter

“he talks to lots of people close to the matters, asks questions and gets curious when things don't add up”

“I agree that the first one is sometimes iffy, but even if you think LLMs will replace x% of white collar work by 2030, the second point remains.”

“At least Ed Zitron feigns to do some quantitative analysis with his slop newsletter”

“Pretty much every one of his posts has inaccuracies and his predications have all been crap”

“Zitron is selling you a $70/year subscription to a newsletter that constantly reminds you that AI is a bubble and the technology is worthless”

“IMHO, having Zitron around is a counter to the AI leaders. Is he the best? No. Is he the loudest? Yes.”

“He charges people money for a newsletter that reinforces completely detached from reality viewpoints.”

“Even Zitron's predictions about AI peaking are arguably correct if you step outside the silicon valley bubble.”

“Zitron does not possess even the most basic knowledge about the issues and practices he complains about.”

“His interviews are apocalyptical one sided rants that confuse what is with what Zitron thinks should be.”

“the natural pivot you have to make when your whole business is an anti-AI newsletter that costs $7 per month”

“I pay for Zitron's publication for the capital figures and exclusives he gets his hands on”

“The actual numbers he presents are well sourced and, sadly, correct.”

“I agree his financials teardown is directionally correct and I'm glad he's in this space to call it out.”

“It's his financial reporting, which asks some really hard, important, and very necessary questions”

“I like Ed Zitron's reporting on the AI industry”

“Ed Zitron helps you see the broad absurdities in this situation and more importantly helps you understand that at various levels there is chicanery”

“I find it soothing to listen to someone rant and rave against the tech bro overlords”

“I often hate how loaded/incendiary Ed Zitron's tone is and don't like some of his takes”

“there was an actually really great, long discussion with Ed Zitron about it”

“most of his articles are financially and technically illiterate and full of mistakes and inaccuracies”

“deeply researched, well-sourced and clearly formulated”

“every time the top comments (or the comments one level nested below top comments) are pointing out how wrong he's always been”

“I've been enjoying journalist Ed Zitron's recent diatribes about how impossible it is to find a business leader who had a plan for measuring their ROI”

“the argument about revenue being 20% or 30% lower than reported isn't that central to his overall thesis”

“This felt weirdly defensive and written in bad-faith, even with Zitron's standards in mind.”

“His somewhat voluminous rantings contain raw figures on investments, data centre builds, energy availability and depreciation.”

“started getting both longer and considerably more histrionic when he started moving most of them behind a paywall”

“The nice thing about it is that he occasionally revisits the old announcements to check what happened with them.”

“he is completely unwilling to entertain any other position other than the one that established his blog/show”

“Ed's writing style is often off-putting, repetitive and sometimes gives almost "desperate" vibes.”

“his newsletter is nearly always stacked with citations and insights that, at least to my cursory but frequent inspection, pan out”

“Ed Zitron is so blinded by his AI hate that his articles should be treated not just with skepticism, but heavy suspicion”

“has so many willful errors, and is so committed to one point of view regardless of the facts”

“the free ones outline the financial situation of the SOTA providers and he has receipts”

“I'm leaning pretty heavily on Ed Zitron's investigative reporting to make the case instead”

“There are so many examples and its clear that he's not good faith and has consistently gotten the spirit wrong.”

“he has a pretty good take down in here if you can get past his somewhat juvenile writing style”

“I find his arguments a lot more convincing than the people just saying "ahh it'll work itself out"”

“Good counterpoints to all the AI hype these days.”
