What is the right way to deal with Ed Zitron articles because he’s historically extremely inaccurate and makes wild claims.

People ignore all his horrendous takes from last year and still eat this years “analyses” like it’s Gods words.

He has been predicting the doom for years and years now and it is strange to see HN still putting credence here.

This is what he said around a week back

“ One of my sources has come forward and brought me a story that will possibly burst the AI bubble. The reason they brought this to me is that I’ve shown — and will continue to show — that I actually give a shit about this industry and the people in it.

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 expect it to be out in the next two weeks, and you’ll know exactly when it runs. There’ll be a podcast and a newsletter, and very likely follow-on coverage elsewhere.

I can guarantee you it’ll be worth it, and you’ll be stunned by what I report.”

This is qanon tier stuff. He’s been pulling this shtick for a while and people still haven’t caught on.

Yeah if this is his “information he wanted for years” it’s pretty abysmal in terms of crashing the “ai bubble”.

Yeah he has zero credentials and authority and an agenda to push. Not to mention most of his articles are financially and technically illiterate and full of mistakes and inaccuracies.

No idea why his shit keeps getting submitted.
