Ed Zitron certainly was right that a constant firehose of denialist AI doom would get him clicks and views from the type of audience who yearns to have their biases confirmed and their fears validated. He's made a lot of hay off that excellent prediction.
Can't really think of anything else he's been right about, though. I don't think "right" is what he's going for anyway, it's all about that validation and a coherent, testable hypothesis takes a very distant second place.
