Yes. Zitron has been predicting and begging for collapse since 2024. It's not just his brand at this point. It's his entire identity. As such, he cannot back down, he cannot question himself, and he cannot accept any other viewpoint. And he will keep moving his goal posts until something happens that can make him go "aha! I told you guys!!"

This, combined with his extreme ignorance, makes him unreadable. The only reason people read his stuff is because it validates and confirms their own anti-AI beliefs. It's why every time he publishes an article, it reaches the front page in an hour or less.

Extreme ignorance?

I can see how folks find Zitron shrill, but I wouldn't dare say he is ignorant. The man seems to be bending over backwards to do actual journalism when most outlets take CEOs at their word and promote a market that goes irrationally up despite evidence. Case and point, the situation in Iran is such a mess, yet every time Trump says there is a deal of some sort, the market rallies. It has been months now of this game.

As a listener, I have not heard him predict collapse once. Maybe I got to him late, but so far as I know, he claims that the industry as it exists is unsustainable. You may think that is him dodging the logical progression of "collapse" but I think so far he has been pretty correct on the unsustainable part, the signs are there. If anyone could predict such things they'd be a billionaire many times over. In the end I think he will be more or less correct, the timing and how long investors can prop it up is the much harder part to predict.
