I have seen many articles talk about this alleged 'massive demand for compute' but never anything behind it.

@Zitron of the #BetterOffline podcast joins Isaac Pound of #TheTechReport YouTube channel, where they discuss the financial reality of the #genAI super-scalers and their partners in circular finance and wishful speculation.
There does not appear to be any possibility of the GPT-based #AI industry (such as #LLM services) to ever not run at a net financial loss while retaining enough customers to cover their sunk costs. If the CEOs aren't aware of this and wilfully conducting a fraud orders of magnitude larger than #SamBankmanFried, then they must be wilfully ignorant true believers in their own respective cults.
The hosts don't say this, but: the only way out of the global financial craters these companies form when they explode will be to tax the oligarchs down to zero and liquidate all the companies' and executives' and major investors' assets.

»Posting is an ART. There is no Bushido in generating images«
My favourite take-away quote from the brilliant "Hater Season" series by @Zitron (the one with @Quinnypig).

I saw someone say there’s an episode of #BetterOffline at #CES2026 where Ed Zitron pushes back on Cory Doctorow a bit about AI/LLMs. Anyone know which one it was? I want to go look for it, but there are several CES eps with Cory so it could take a minute.

Weekly output: Uber and Lucid’s robotaxi, Craig Newmark on dodging scams, Jensen Huang on engineering, Better Offline podcast
I got back from CES Friday morning, which means I’ve now more or less caught up with my sleep deficit from those frenetic five days in Las Vegas but still have a lot of writing to do.
1/5/2026: This Is the Robotaxi That Lucid and Nuro Are Building for Uber, PCMag
I wrote the first version of this off an embargoed copy of Uber’s announcement, then did an in-person inspection of Uber’s forthcoming self-driving version of the Lucid Gravity electric vehicle and updated the story two days later.
1/7/2026: Craiglist’s founder has some simple rules for not losing your mind—or money—on the internet, Fast Company
My video interview with Craig Newmark happened back in December–without any PR minder on the call–but online scams are an unfortunately evergreen topic.
1/7/2026: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: This Is Why I’m Lucky to Be an Engineer, PCMag
It was a treat to see Huang accept the engineering group IEEE’s annual medal of honor at a private event and gush a little about his chosen profession–the same one that my dad picked in college.
1/8/2026: CES 2026: Part Seven (Thursday), Better Offline
As I did last year, I wrapped up CES by joining tech gadfly Ed Zitron’s Better Offline podcast at the hotel suite he booked in Vegas for a lengthy conversation about what we saw at the show and what that says about the state of technology. My fellow guests in this Thursday night recording session: standup comedian Chloe Radlciffe and fellow writers Garrison Davis, Robert Evans, Westin Lee, and Ed Ongweso. After some post-recording banter, I went from there to the airport and fell asleep within maybe 10 minutes of takeoff.
