Guy Kawasaki's Remarkable People

Ed Zitron: Silicon Valley's Empty Promises and Billion-Dollar Blunders


Listen Later

Is the tech industry rotting from the inside out? Ed Zitron thinks so. As a PR expert, media critic, and outspoken tech industry commentator, Zitron pulls no punches discussing what he calls the "ROT economy" - where growth at all costs has replaced innovation and customer value. In this brutally honest conversation with Guy Kawasaki, Zitron dissects OpenAI's unsustainable business model, critiques tech billionaires' empty pursuit of wealth at the expense of happiness, and challenges the AI hype cycle. From questioning Blue Origin's all-women space flight to explaining why he refuses clients like Meta and Microsoft, Zitron offers a refreshing counterpoint to Silicon Valley groupthink while advocating for a tech industry that prioritizes workers and customers over shareholder returns.
