Ed Zitron is the most objectively and confidently wrong human re: anything going on in AI, competing only with the likes of Gary Marcus and, on his bad days, Yann LeCun.
"Based on estimates of their burn rate and historic analyses, I hypothesize that OpenAI will collapse in the next 12-24 months unless it raises more funding than in the history of the valley and creates an entirely new form of AI." - Ed Zitron (Jul 29, 2024)
Yes, but clearly that's not what Zitron was implying. The rest of his thread's commentary makes that clearer. He's saying:
OpenAI is going to implode soon. They would have to raise an unfathomable amount of money, it's literally never been done and is so much it won't happen. That's why they're going to collapse.
He could have predicted that OpenAI would raise an unprecedented amount of money and are not going to collapse. He clearly believed differently.
