A lively must-read on the history of San Francisco and the tech industry that reshaped it
Is it possible to change @edzitron's mind about the state of AI?
What would it take?
Here's what he tells @EricNewcomer in a new episode of the Newcomer Podcast:
Is Anthropic actually profitable? @edzitron says that's only when you don't count the costs.
He's made his view clear: AI is a bubble, and it's about to burst.
He joins @EricNewcomer on the Newcomer Podcast, in a new episode out now.

You know it’s a strange time in the money world when a huge and highly profitable company that’s been buying back its own shares for years suddenly issues $80 billion in new equity — and it’s not even one of the bigger stories of the moment.
That company, of course, is @Google parent Alphabet, which needs more cash for its data center build-out.
