The facts I've seen in his reports seem to reflect reality as far as I can tell, he is correct that software companies switched from very low Capex to be extremely Capex heavy. And that announced datacenter aren't getting built. And that AI labs do not have a business model. And we've been since a few years in a financial bubble. And companies shifting to full agentic didn't take pricing into account until the switch from subscriptions to API pricing. And that nobody can say how much the use of agents cost beforehand (because both output tokens and the amount of tokens required for a given task cannot be predicted in advance). Etc.
I don't know what to say other than I now know the audience Ed Zitron writes for.
As a side note I do personally have a thing for caustic writing, even if I wouldn't agree with his analysis I would still be happy reading some of his articles. Reminds me of blog writers from 2010
Here’s a compilation of things he got wrong. It’s not small things btw https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48447549
Respectfully, it shows that you haven't been using agentic models or reasoning models. I would advice you to go and use them and make an opinion afterwards. If you have come to this conclusion after extensively using these models then I don't know what to say. I guess you are the audience for Ed Zitron.
