Zitron has been saying this for weeks.

EDIT: okay, not months, weeks. Feels like forever.

Zitron's literally just some normie that got pushed by the algo a bit harder than other shocked faces with flames and red arrows and no industry insight.

Years, no? Meaning the sky is falling rhetoric was wrong for a long time. He will get lucky eventually.

He says a lot of things, but one specific thing I remember from weeks ago is that he said Anthropic growth slowed on Q3, and that's why they decided to push for the IPO (and use only Q2 numbers).

It reminds me of the Apple TV rumors. For ~4 years the new AppleTV was just around about to be announced for <reasons> and you should wait to buy one. Then it's finally announced and people are all "yeah, but a few weeks before the AppleTV was launched they said it was going to have more RAM!".

Sure, and they said similar kinds of things for 4 years. Who cares to highlight when the broken clock finally matches the time?

Zitron is not a serious person

That hardly matters if he's right, does it?

Zitron spelled out why OAI was dead in the water 2 years ago because they would need to raise $8B.

He's been right, what, <5% of the time? He will be complaining about the "inevitable bubble" as AGI transforms the world around him

neither is Dario, to be fair

I love coming to HN because I get to see comparisons like this between Ed Zitron and Dario.

I find Dario interesting, serious and competent.

Dario has been talking about AI safety for years, even at 2015. So its not like some grift - that's what he really truly believes and he's putting where his mouth is and has been able to create what would be the highest market cap company in the world.
