Ed Zitron just laid out why the AI bubble is about to burst — and the numbers are brutal.
In this clip from his appearance with Ari Melber, the leading AI skeptic breaks down OpenAI’s massive 2025 losses, the circular financing keeping the whole sector afloat, and why hyperscalers are now dangerously dependent on two unprofitable companies. If the spending stops, the growth story collapses.
Zitron explains how OpenAI and Anthropic have become the load-bearing failures of the AI economy: they lose tens of billions while generating the majority of AI revenue reported by Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. He shows why the current path has no realistic route to profitability, how data-center debt and venture funding are the only things holding it up, and what happens when that funding dries up. Chris Hughes also weighs in on the broader risks.
This is not abstract skepticism. It’s hard financial reporting on why the biggest tech bet of the decade is structurally unstable — and why the crash could hit harder than most people expect.
But is he right?
