Three inline subscription CTAs, a subscription pop-up, and a subscribe-wall a few paragraphs in.

Oof!

Reacting to what I could read without subscribing: turns out profitably applying AI to status-quo reality is way less exciting than exploring the edges of its capabilities. Go figure!

it's a shame; i generally agree with most of what ed has to say and i think his arguments come from a good place, but the website is pretty irritating and i find his delivery to be breathless and melodramatic to the point of cliche (not befitting the serious nature of the topics he argues). i had to stop listening to his podcast because of the delivery; its not an uncommon situation for other CZM podcasts but at least some of them handle their editorial content with a little more maturity (shout out to Molly Conger's Weird Little Guys podcast).

I hate to make the comparison between two left-ish people who yell for a living just because they're both British, but it kinda feels like ed is going for a john oliver type of delivery, which only really works well when you have a whole team of writers behind you.

I love almost all of the CZM shows, and even I have a hard time making it all the way through a full-on rant from Ed :/ and I agree with him. Sorry, Ed.

He's a performative contrarian. His arguments are...fine but not worth the spittle that comes along with it.
