“If 70% of AI revenues are these two companies, there is no AI industry.”

Writer of Where’s Your Ed At and the host of the Better Offline podcast Ed Zitron joins The Tech Report’s Isaac Pound to talk about the state of the AI industry as it’s revealed that over two thirds of hyperscaler AI revenue is coming from two companies.

Sorry for the rant but I'm still amazed that managers are now:

  • choosing the software tools that developers have to use (unprecedented because they are fucking stupid and have never written useful code in their whole life), and
  • advocating for writing precise specifications (the Markdown rules for agents) and unit-tests when they were doing the opposite a few years ago ("specs are stupid, don't bother, tests are stupid too").

Sorry for the rant, fuck managers, they are the ones who should be replace by a LLM.
