The Man Who Calls BS On AI: They’re LYING About AI, 2027 Is When It All Breaks! | Ed Zitron
"I think sometime in 2027, things are gonna start running out of steam because that thing I said earlier, the only way these models get better is if you feed more money, tens of billions of dollars into them. So you think OpenAI runs outta steam in 2027? I think they're already running out of steam. Yeah. But I think they run out of cash."
Ed Zitron predicts OpenAI could run out of cash around 2027, arguing frontier AI progress requires ever-larger funding rounds. He says difficulty raising new money or a troubled public listing could hit OpenAI and firms financially tied to it, pulling down tech valuations.
