Ed Zitron is gonna have a field day with this. He wrote / spoke about the dark horses of the AI apocalypse a year or more ago. Scaling back investment was one of the signs he predicted would signal its start.
I like his podcast, Better Offline[0]. Some here might also like it, some would definitely hate it. He's not right about everything he says, but I agree with a lot of it. He has a newsletter for those who don't like podcasts.

- altairprime 8mo agoHe often gets some airtime on HN for the AI stuff; see also past discussions: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=zitron https://hn.algolia.com/?q=zitron
- cootsnuck 8mo agoEd is the anger translator in my head. Good stuff.
- g-mork 8mo agoThe irony with Zitron is that summarising his astoundingly verbose anti-AI articles is one of the most consistently productive uses I've had for AI
- joshcsimmons 8mo agoEd's background is PR not engineering FWIW.
- rubatuga 8mo agoWow everything he said is coming true /s

- astrange 8mo agoThere are certainly some good AI critics but Ed Zitron and Gary Marcus are not among them. They're just people who get paid to write anti-AI newsletters whether or not any of it is true.
