Radio Better Offline: Allison Morrow, Paris Martineau & Ed Ongweso Jr.

Welcome to Radio Better Offline, a tech talk radio show recorded out of iHeartRadio's studio in New York city.

Ed Zitron is joined in studio by Allison Morrow of CNN, Ed Ongweso Jr. of the Tech Bubble newsletter, and Paris Martineau of The Information to talk about the collapse of the AI bubble, the goofy “AI 2027” fan fiction that has gone viral in the tech industry, and how the tech media faces a reckoning once the bubble truly bursts.
