Ed Zitron: How The AI Bubble Bursts In 2026

[highplainsdem]

This isn't the complete article, unless you pay to subscribe, but the part that is available for free is quite long (longer than many articles) and well worth reading.

https://www.wheresyoured.at/premium-how-the-ai-bubble-bursts-in-2026/

Here's part of it, images of pages/screenshots Ed posted on X. The first three are the free portion of the article. The 4th is from the other side of the paywall.

Ed posted tweets with more than two dozen screenshots of the premium article, which you can read by clicking on all the images in Ed's tweets that I'll post in a reply below. But you will have to subscribe for the actual article to use the links to other sources in the paywalled part of the article.









See the reply I'll post below with the full thread.

2. If only we had an AI summary...

3. Yes, to fuck it up, as only genAI can. Instead, you have a lot here that's worth reading. Real intelligence.

4. Relax, it was a joke.

I typically dig into all your threads, even though I don't share most of your views on AI.

Thanks for the post and no offense intended.

5. You're welcome, and thanks for explaining. I know this is a lot to read - and it was a lot of work to

post - but Ed does the best writing I've seen on the AI bubble.

6. Tech to undo the harm that tech does in the hands of the greedy and sociopathic.

Can someone save these images and batch OCR them.

I have always advocated for technology as a leveling and empowering force.

Screw this zit popper. I am looking up other sources.

I’m removing the paywall from the article below. I shared it with premium subscribers four weeks ago—and it’s been a very turbulent month due to the very reasons outlined in the article.
