AI Skeptic: This Business Makes No Sense

Ed Elson is joined by Ed Zitron to discuss the state of the AI industry (read: bubble). Zitron argues that every AI startup is unprofitable at its core. Then James Kynge breaks down what to expect from President Trump’s visit to China. Finally, Ed digs into data from the producer price index and what it could signal for inflation and the broader economy. Ed Zitron is the author of the Where’s Your Ed At Newsletter, and the Better Offline Podcast. James Kynge is the host of the Prof G Media’s China Decode podcast and Senior Research Fellow at Chatham House.
