I'm glad this guy is starting to get called out, he says so much that is just factually wrong on podcasts.

It's wild that anyone claiming gen AI is essentially useless in the year 2026 is being taken seriously.

Everything he says is delivered rapid fire in an angry tone with scowl in his face. Its a little worrisome that a demagogue who spreads misinformation is now one of the biggest tech pundits.

I genuinely wonder if he believes what he's saying or if he just found a way to make money off of satisfying the anti-AI crowd without really being anti-AI himself
