Oracle has metaphorically “put the mortgage on the credit card” by raising more fund through a combination of further debt and equity sales, says writer of Wheres You’re-Ed At and host of the Better Offline podcast, Ed Zitron. (24 min)

AI bubble: Data centre cancellations are sky rocketing | Ed Zitron
For OpenAI to afford it’s $300bn five year agreement with Oracle, they will have to spend more than the entire revenue of Microsoft Azure in one year, says host of Better Offline Podcast & author of Where’s Your Ed At, Ed Zitron. (32 min)
Great quote from #EdZitron from his podcast, Better Offline:
"A disregard for the truth that comes from years of never facing a single consequence."
That cuts to the core of #billionaire and corporate culture. It's why they seem so weird to normal people. You have to first understand this history of lack of consequence for them, and how that follows on to the effect on not caring about truth.
Ed Zitron on big tech, backlash, boom and bust: ‘AI has taught us that people are excited to replace human beings’.
His blunt, brash scepticism has made the podcaster and writer something of a cult figure.
But as concern over large language models builds, he’s no longer the outsider he once was.

#EdZitron has been shouting this from the rooftops for a year or more. Glad other outlets are finally picking up on it.
OpenAI and the like are not real businesses. Investment money that could be going to support ideas that create real value is being wasted and the rest of us will suffer for it.
Fuck I hate everything right now.

Weekly output: Uber and Lucid’s robotaxi, Craig Newmark on dodging scams, Jensen Huang on engineering, Better Offline podcast
I got back from CES Friday morning, which means I’ve now more or less caught up with my sleep deficit from those frenetic five days in Las Vegas but still have a lot of writing to do.
1/5/2026: This Is the Robotaxi That Lucid and Nuro Are Building for Uber, PCMag
I wrote the first version of this off an embargoed copy of Uber’s announcement, then did an in-person inspection of Uber’s forthcoming self-driving version of the Lucid Gravity electric vehicle and updated the story two days later.
1/7/2026: Craiglist’s founder has some simple rules for not losing your mind—or money—on the internet, Fast Company
My video interview with Craig Newmark happened back in December–without any PR minder on the call–but online scams are an unfortunately evergreen topic.
1/7/2026: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: This Is Why I’m Lucky to Be an Engineer, PCMag
It was a treat to see Huang accept the engineering group IEEE’s annual medal of honor at a private event and gush a little about his chosen profession–the same one that my dad picked in college.
1/8/2026: CES 2026: Part Seven (Thursday), Better Offline
As I did last year, I wrapped up CES by joining tech gadfly Ed Zitron’s Better Offline podcast at the hotel suite he booked in Vegas for a lengthy conversation about what we saw at the show and what that says about the state of technology. My fellow guests in this Thursday night recording session: standup comedian Chloe Radlciffe and fellow writers Garrison Davis, Robert Evans, Westin Lee, and Ed Ongweso. After some post-recording banter, I went from there to the airport and fell asleep within maybe 10 minutes of takeoff.

Here is a comprehensive guide to arguing with AI boosters, addressing both their bad faith debate style and their specific (and flimsy) arguments as to why generative AI is the future by #EdZitron
https://www.wheresyoured.at/how-to-argue-with-an-ai-booster/
This is a great way to catch up with the excellent work that #EdZitron does exposing #bigtech and especially #AI for the exploitative scam bubble that it is:

He lists the highlights from his blog in 2025 so you can read just the juicy bits to get you going. Highly recommended!

> That and Ed Zitron saying “NO ONE IS LOSING THEIR JOBS!” in almost every episode of his podcast… I feel very strongly now that the resistance to Gen AI is being killed by a bunch of professional managerial class people to whom poverty is just an abstract concept.
yes, #edzitron is #advertising #genAI:
> As Zitron’s profile has risen, so has the delight with which some journalists pass around stories about him—the maverick scourge of AI—peddling pitches about this or that AI service, helping to inflate the bubble with one hand while poking at it with the other.

Pretty good interview I thought, naturally Ed brings up some of the things he's written about which is fair enough.
