American Conversations Series: The AI Bubble? with Ed Zitron

Ed Zitron is a funny, clever writer on the business of technology whom you may have seen on MSNBC and CNN (here's a clip of Ed on Chris Hayes). Ed has been one of the most prominent critics of ongoing heavy investment in data centers and large language models (LLMs), which are becoming load-bearing parts of the global economy, and he's been very trenchant in his critiques of how the mind-boggling sums of money changing hands have affected our society and politics. Ed Zitron led a lively, informed discussion about the business of AI, the scale of investment many companies and governments have made in it, and the problems the industry faces in the marketplace.
