Summary

“Every time you look for the supposed gold mine, you find someone just handing someone money instead of the gold coming out.” Author of Where's Your Ed At and host of the Better Offline podcast Ed Zitron joins The Tech Report’s Isaac Pound to talk about the circular financing propping up the AI bubble and Goldman Sachs’ Tracking Trillions report which describes the AI boom as driven by fear rather than fundamentals.
