Bursting the AI Bubble with Ed Zitron
2026-10-28
As Anthropic files for what may become the largest IPO in history, Jon is joined by Ed Zitron of EZ Primary Research, the “Where’s Your Ed At” newsletter, and the “Better Offline” podcast. Together, they break down the precarious financing structures, circular deals, and mounting debts propping up the AI boom—and whether the technology is actually delivering results that justify such historic levels of investment. Plus, Jon answers listeners’ questions about Jan 6-ing the midterms, Sexiest Man Alive and Halloween tricks or treats!Learn more about this week's guest, Ed Zitron at wheresyoured.atThis episode is sponsored by:GROUND NEWS - Go to https://ground.news/js to see all sides of every story.
