This Ed Zitron guy is laughably stupid
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 2nd, 2026 5:34 PM Author: sticky flatulent principal's office His shtick is just to list various aspects of tech companies and describe their business model and then just state that it's bad.
Really, tech companies are buying tech from other tech companies? Holy shit. He just says this random stuff like oh it's for sure a bubble that's about to collapse without explaining how. Not one word about why it's bad or how it's going to fail. Nothing like oh well banks lended tons of money to subprime buyers who won't be able to repay when their rates go up and that will trigger...
No, no underlying explanation. Just assertions. This is 90 IQ shit. Baseless assertions. |

He seems to be really mad that tech companies prioritize shareholder growth over making a better product than does not generate more revenue than it did last year. I think he wants people to work for free and seems to loathe capitalism. |

Date: June 2nd, 2026 5:55 PM Author: milky ticket booth mad-dog skullcap "Ed Zitron - Why Are All Tech Products Now Shit?"
jeets
ok next question |

Date: June 2nd, 2026 6:39 PM Author: Slippery dark plaza I think his fundamental thesis is wrong, but he can be hilarious. I said it elsewhere, but he reminds me of early Milo Yiannopolous in his delivery and mannerisms. Can be truly laugh out loud funny.
Even if he is dead wrong in the grand scheme of things, he does make some interesting points from time to time. I think he just fundamentally doesn't understand what is really going on with AI and how it will absolutely become profitable in a world historic way. |
|
Date: June 2nd, 2026 6:49 PM Author: sticky flatulent principal's office He also mixes in insults about conservatives randomly when totally unnecessary. He made a lame diss about cons being mad about woke AI and Chinese George Washington. His zinger is that they didn't have anything better to do than complain.
His biggest enemy in life is the profit motive and capitalism. He's mad about people making money which when other people do it is unethical. |

Date: June 3rd, 2026 11:40 AM Author: Slippery dark plaza Many such cases. It is especially sad when you realize how easy it is for anyone to invest in the market today. The WSJ had some (pure ragebait) article several months back about random blue collarmos who had $1m+ stock portfolios. I'm talking auto mechanics and x-ray tech type people who have just been plowing cash into the market on Robinhood and making bank.
Meanwhile "smarter" people like Zitron have No Net Worth because they're just Too Smart to make money. |

Date: June 3rd, 2026 11:49 AM Author: sticky flatulent principal's office If you go work in oil or natural gas you can make 100k+ with no degree or experience right out of high school (they even take convicted chomos, nobody cares). Some of these people live in giant houses and drive 250k sports cars in their 20s. If they invest well they retire at 40 like dirte tp with a big ass lake house and everything a prole could ever need.
Kulaks are the most natural enemy of the shitlib. Independent, wealthy, uneducated. Couldn't be convinced to listen to an egghead professor if their life depended on it. Can never corral these people. Drives em insane. |

Date: June 3rd, 2026 12:24 PM Author: sticky flatulent principal's office That's what makes Texas so great. Kulaks run everything so libs are limited in what they can destroy. Now imagine you're in Scotland where blue hairs run the show and people actually want to rename the David Hume tower after George Floyd, a guy from a race of people no Scotsman has ever seen. It's all so horrifying when u think about libs. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5870657&forum_id=2#49912801) |

Date: June 3rd, 2026 4:29 PM Author: Overrated stage I searched him on YouTube bc of you or some other poaster. Like someone said it’s a niche that basically needs to exist when so many people hate AI. But I haven’t gotten to the part where any of its funny. A lot of talk about “MBAs” ruining everything like it’s 1986 and the MBAs are just boomer Scum with fake jobs and No engineering awareness ruining everything and aren’t just Engineers who wanted to ace M7 OCI. The MBA Businessman is a strawman people like to beat for some reason. That’s an Engineer you’re beating. Have some respect ffs.
Also you’d assume he’s some Engineering Guy but he’s actually a liberal artist with extremely high Engineering Awareness. And that is where I lose interest. |

Date: June 3rd, 2026 4:41 PM Author: sticky flatulent principal's office He's not funny at all. That's what's funny about it. He's YSFFM and has zero Understanding.
Like yes the 5 world's largest companies are investing savage and insane amounts of money in one Idea that has the chance to change the entire world and everyone's way of life. Ed's big complaint is that he's betting heavily that it won't. 100% of the world's richest and smartest people are betting that it will.
If it does, all the valuations are more than justified. They're undervalued. If it doesn't the world economy is going to collapse. There's only one way to find out. If AI wins over time just like the internet and lots of previous major innovations like the printing press, the steam engine, and the automobile. Ed is saying that based on zero evidence AI is not a revolutionary technology. Meanwhile every passing day it unironically continues to prove that it is. Ed is getting mogged by reality. |

Date: June 3rd, 2026 5:09 PM Author: Overrated stage I’ve got zero interest in the perspective of a liberal artist on Engineering. Most don’t even know what Engineering is other than “AAA Games have Huge Teams.” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5870657&forum_id=2#49913541) |

Date: June 3rd, 2026 5:13 PM Author: sticky flatulent principal's office That's honestly what's so bad about listening to Ed talk about AI which somehow is his only job. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5870657&forum_id=2#49913550) |
