    Author of Wheres You’re Ed At and Host of the Better Offline Podcast Ed Zitron tells The Tech Report’s Isaac Pound that the data on productivity growth from AI adoption is flat and AI adopters are entering a “hysterical episode” as they look for pay offs from their investments.

    “These ‘subsidised gadgets’ could that be more of a thing going forward. Yes.”

The answer is uncertain, but regulation is lacking and the consequences could be perilous.

    Feb 11 2026
