Silicon Valley's Empty Promises and Billion-Dollar Blunders
“Could the entire AI revolution be nothing more than an expensive con?”
That’s the provocative question at the heart of my conversation with Ed Zitron, a PR expert who fearlessly challenges Silicon Valley’s most cherished assumptions. Zitron dissects what he calls the “ROT economy,” where growth at all costs has replaced genuine innovation and customer value.
Listen here.
His analysis of OpenAI as “burning $5 billion last year” with no path to profitability serves as a sobering counterpoint to the AI hype cycle.
What makes Zitron’s perspective so valuable isn’t just his critique but his passionate advocacy for a better way forward—one where businesses prioritize solving real problems, treating workers with dignity, and creating actual value for customers instead of chasing the empty promise of becoming the next tech titan.
