In less than 3 years we’ve completely redefined how we interact with computers, and Zitron’s saying that there’s no way that investment in that pays off. He moves the goalposts every time something new proves him wrong.

To me, that’s not only not a credible stance, it’s immensely stupid.

The only way anyone could logically take that stance in the face of all the evidence otherwise is if their entire livelihood depended on it.

Oh… wait.

You could make the monetary motivation argument against anyone involved— much moreso Altman, et. al.

What specifically about the criticism do you find stupid? That’s a very general dismissal of some pretty specific criticism.

if you amass 115k subscribers by basically being wrong along the way just about everything and the shift as to "not remain static" and then continue to be full of shit, that is one thing - another things is going from "hm, what a great toy this is" to "holy shit, I can take on 4 contracts at the same time and run 25 terminals of CC is parallel" :)
