Ep 386: Was 2025 a Great or Terrible Year for AI? (w/ Ed Zitron) 2025 was a year that was saturated in AI news, from Deep Seek, through claims of economic “bloodbaths,” to GPT-5, Sora, and Chatbot girlfriends. Frankly, it was exhausting. As we now look back on 2025 an interesting question arises: all in all, did this end up being a good or bad year for AI? To help me answer this question, I'm joined by hard-hitting AI commentator Ed Zitron, who's been everywhere in the media in recent months helping to make sense of the wild claims being thrown in the public's direction. Together we go through the biggest AI stories of the year to try to make sense of what just happened. Below are the questions covered in today's episode (with their timestamps). Get your questions answered by Cal! Here's the link: bit.ly/3U3sTvoVideo from today's episode: youtube.com/calnewportmediaINTERVIEW: Was 2025 a Great or Terrible Year for AI (w/ Ed Zitron) [3:16]Cal Reacts to Comments: Is the Internet Becoming Television?

We're back from our holiday break, thank you for sticking with us. More to come very soon, in the meantime, you can find the remainder of this episode at www.Patreon.com/KillTheComputer -- Hussein Kesvani, freelance journalist, co-host of Trash Future and 10k Posts, joins us for our first ep of the year. In it, we borrow a term from our friend Ed Zitron known as "The Rot Economy". Instead of applying the theory to products and services, we ask what happens to the human brain when companies know they're harming their users but still insist upon a growth-at-all-cost mentality. Consider this the first part in an ongoing arc exploring this topic. Hussein can be found at: https://trashfuture.co.uk/

The Geek in Review closes 2025 with Greg Lambert and Marlene Gebauer welcoming back Sarah Glassmeyer and Niki Black for round two of the annual scorecard, equal parts receipts, reality check, and forward look into 2026. The conversation opens with a heartfelt remembrance of Kim Stein, a beloved KM community builder whose generosity showed up in conference dinners, happy hours, and day to day support across vendors and firms. With Kim's spirit in mind, the panel steps into the year-end ritual: name the surprises, own the misses, and offer a few grounded bets for what comes next.Last year's thesis predicted a shift from novelty to utility, yet 2025 felt closer to a rolling hype loop. Glassmeyer frames generative AI as a multi-purpose knife dropped on every desk at once, which left many teams unsure where to start, even when budgets already committed. Black brings the data lens: general-purpose gen AI use surged among lawyers, especially solos and small firms, while law firm adoption rose fast compared with earlier waves such as cloud computing, which crawled for years before pandemic pressure moved the needle. The group also flags a new social dynamic, status-driven tool chasing, plus a quiet trend toward business-tier ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude as practical options for many matters when price tags for legal-only platforms sit out of reach for smaller shops.Hallucinations stay on the agenda, with the panel resisting both extremes: doom posts and fan club hype. Glassmeyer recounts a founder's quip, “hallucinations are a feature, not a bug,” then pivots to an older lesson from KeyCite and Shepard's training: verification never goes away, and lawyers always owed diligence, even before LLMs. Black adds a cautionary tale from recent sanctions, where a lawyer ran the same research through a stack of tools, creating a telephone effect and a document nobody fully controlled. Lambert notes a bright spot from the past six months: legal research outputs improved as vendors paired vector retrieval with legal hierarchy data, including court relationships and citation treatment, reducing off-target answers even while perfection stays out of reach.From there, the conversation turns to mashups across the market. Clio's acquisition of vLex becomes a headline example, raising questions about platform ecosystems, pricing power, and whether law drifts toward an Apple versus Android split. Black predicts integration work across billing, practice management, and research will matter as much as M&A, with general tech giants looming behind the scenes. Glassmeyer cheers broader access for smaller firms, while still warning about consolidation scars from legal publishing history and the risk of feature decay once startups enter corporate layers. The panel lands on a simple preference: interoperability, standards, and clean APIs beat a future where a handful of owners dictate terms.On governance, Black rejects surveillance fantasies and argues for damage control, strong training, and safe experimentation spaces, since shadow usage already happens on personal devices. Gebauer pushes for clearer value stories, and the guests agree early ROI shows up first in back office workflows, with longer-run upside tied to pricing models, AFAs, and buyer pushback on inflated hours. For staying oriented amid fractured social channels, the crew trades resources: AI Law Librarians, Legal Tech Week, Carolyn Elefant's how-to posts, Moonshots, Nate B. Jones, plus Ed Zitron's newsletter for a wider business lens. The crystal ball segment closes with a shared unease around AI finance, a likely shakeout among thinly funded tools, and a reminder to keep the human network strong as 2026 arrives.

2025 has been a tremendous year for the artificial intelligence industry. Stock prices for AI companies skyrocketed, soaring beyond expectations and propping up an otherwise stagnant U.S. economy. But everywhere, there's talk of an AI bubble — one even bigger and more threatening than the 2008 housing bubble or the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s. What makes this bubble so different? When is it likely to pop? And if it does, what does that mean for the rest of us? In this episode of Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Ed Zitron and Sruthi Pinnamaneni, journalists covering the AI frenzy, to recap the year of the AI Bubble — and predict what will happen next.

The AI boom is the biggest investment mania in decades, channeling trillions of dollars into data center infrastructure. If investors bet right, they may usher in technological breakthroughs that produce vast wealth. If they're wrong, they could crash the U.S. stock market, trigger a recession, and spread financial contagion globally.Ed Zitron was among the first to call AI a bubble. His unsparing deep dives into AI finances are must-reads, even for his critics. In a spirited back-and-forth on The World Unpacked, Ed and host Jon Bateman debate Wall Street's “unhealthy relationship” with Nvidia, if China has its own AI bubble, and whether ChatGPT should give tax advice.Find the episode transcript and streaming audio, and get the show direct to your inbox, here: https://carnegieendowment.org/podcasts/the-world-unpacked/ais-biggest-skeptic-sees-a-bubble?

This episode isn't just great—it'll revolutionize what you think of AI. Ed Zitron is back in the trap to discuss his recent reporting on just how much money companies like OpenAI have (and how much they're burning). We talk about the byzantine financing of generative AI and LLMs, the tech world's dream of recreating the postwar boom with a technology primarily used to make the world's least legal porn, and the proliferation of data centers across the country. Plus: Bill Ackman teaches you how to pick up girls.

FULL EPISODE ON https://www.patreon.com/posts/i-feel-like-call-143560320 Ed Zitron returns to discuss all things AI bubble - specifically OpenAI's uncertain balance sheet, the potential government backstop of data centre construction, and the very real and material constraints (such as gas turbine production) on building god via Nvidia Blackwell chips. Also we get sidetracked and stunlocked by the new tranche of Epstein revelations at the very outset. Ed's writing can be found here: https://www.wheresyoured.at
The walls are closing in on Sam Altman. He's irritable in interviews. Dodgy about reasonable questions given the amount of BS he spews almost daily. This week we're taking a look at the recent drama surrounding Sam and his CFO, who suggested that OpenAI might lean on the US government as a "lender of last resort". Plus, Michael Burry has a new short thesis, and he's vocal about it. WATCH THE FIRST EPISODE OF EMIL'S NEW SHOW! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWED3Qultfc OUR NEW CREDIT CARD SITE IS LIVE!!!
