Ed Zitron has predicted 16 of the last 0 AI bubble bursts...
But more seriously, this has to do with DeepMind falling way behind the frontier in intelligence and cost per task. There's basically no reason to use a Gemini model today.
Tbf, he only has to get it right once.
Being right at the wrong time is indistinguishable from being wrong.
Maybe. Was it wrong to call Madoff a fraudster in the early 2000s?
Now, I don't think this is necessarily a Madoff situation, or even a dotcom one. Ed Zitron is certainly not Markopolos. Especially evidence wise.
But, getting a date wrong doesn't necessarily mean that he's wrong in general.
A stopped clock is also right twice a day.
