Collateral Dilbert feat. Ed Zitron
We're joined by recurring guest and friend of the show Ed Zitron to discuss Stargate, the Citrini AI report, and an article about someone's quest to make eternal Scott Adams. For lack of a better word, it is a lot.

"Endilbification" is a word that will haunt me until my final breath.
Really hope they do Absolute Martian manhunter on Be gay do crimes when that finished
Surely Operator Dilbert is just That Photo of Mike Vining

supply chain risk analyst here: what happens when you are one is that I write about your company being fined by DOJ in a powerpoint slide and the government client ignores it
For nova, Claude Song if you will. Swan song but the devil is Claude and instead of tracking sue Wanda he just beelines for the Antarctic nukes and the books over
TIL I learned about Dilbert Groundloop, the OG warfighter Dilbert, the WWII training cartoon that was Dilbert's namesake.
Finally got around to listening to this episode a few days late. Anyway… Cry, “Havoc!”, and let slip the Dogberts of war
The blog post on AI looks a lot like Gotham Research reports on : short those positions, get them to panic,... Profit. Same conclusion : the managers who panicked and sold should be fired.
Natural Born Dilberts?
Every time they say 'openclaw', all I think of is 'Enumclaw'.
Claudcaster?
is Milo on tour rn? the masses await his return
Mr. President! We cannot allow a Dilbert gap!
Eternal Dilbert of the Spotless Grind
Dildren? Is that something?
My mother died last year and our accountant was genuinely one of the sweetest people we've dealt with
Claude Work
They canceled the Booker
Well fuck. Looking forward to Seamus on every podcast I listen to.
Looking forward to the upcoming "war episode" and will never accuse Riley of poor planning again.

Be gay solve crimes, agent version: Claudedo
You don't like Ed Zitron because you think he's a hack, I don't like Ed Zitron because he sounds like John Oliver went through vocal masculinization training. We are not the same.
Generation Dill was good
Rileeeey! "Concatenate" does not mean distill, compress, defragment, or compact, it means "link things together to form a series or chain"! Riiileeeeeeyyyyy!!
I only though this because of opening sequential images in Fiji/ImageJ2 😂
Sweet sweet Nate. You can’t imagine how gullible people are? I live in the United States. Not only are they gullible they are stupid, fearful and angry. My brother once said that drunks are dangerous. As a recovered alcoholic I agree, but lately I’m starting to feel like even “sober” people are dangerous and unpredictable. Gullible? I had to drive through West Texas six times and believe me it’s so much worse.
November's reading of the AI's reaction to it being pointed out that it had just nuked someone's entire inbox was perfect. I was laughed so hard my stomach hurt.
Was that the woman who is part of the leadership team at Meta AI, (a client of my partner,) who downloaded Open Claw and it deleted all of her files? I laughed hard at that one.
it's the first time I ever went to Milo Edwards dot Co dot Uk just to make sure he wasn't in like prison or something
The eternal Dilbert gunner still wandering through the night
I had to pause the podcast and see the jacket. It’s wretched.
I like Seth Harp's book, but I think he should have done a little more sourcing before putting in the anecdote about Dogbert having his teeth surgically replaced with titanium fangs.
"The war episode that is coming soon, because there's a lot of war." Nova goddamn it the lathe!
On the lawyer & accountant but: tenant/homelessness lawyer here. Things I've seen lawyers do that I've never seen ChatGPT do for clients: - Comfort a baby on their knee to give a homeless mum a break while they type out an urgent letter for accommodation for someone who speaks English as a second language. - Take an urgent call from a tenant and get passed over to a landlord who is in the middle of an aggressive illegal eviction to explain that the landlord is committing a crime and persuade them to back off. - Sit with someone experiencing mental health crisis and blend legal advice on housing law with empathy that isn't pre-programmed in. - Actually check in a court claim whether or not case law is real... AI can't replace this. Good prompts to a computer can't replace this. Occasionally we receive what look like AI responses from opponents. We win, because AI... can't do the job.
You're gating the mics far too hard and it makes it sound like everyone's doing some staccato performance stuff and I can't listen to it with headphones
Placing Scott Adams in a Dreadnought with markers and pen on the arms “Only in Death does Dilbert end”
Need November to make that a running gag. Everytime one of her podcasts mentions someone with a salary larger than hers just sigh “she must have so many podcasts…”
Adding another November Kelly podcast to my monthly subscription budget

Cry havoc and let slip the Dogberts of war!
So Dilbert is our Duncan Idaho? All special forces are comprised entirely of Dilbert gholas.
Full Spectrum Dilbert
"i guess the war episode is off now, fuck!"

No Claudes, No Dilberts
Well Claude's Your Problem
Everywhere where Ed goes there’s always guys popping up saying he doesn’t know anything and is wrong about everything, but they are never willing to provide specific & sourced examples of how he has been wrong and how it undermines his other claims. I wonder why.
The thing is like we have a fully finance-pilled AI correspondent, his name is Patrick Boyle. His takes are every bit as vulgar as Ed's, and not really like, meaningfully different except that they're less detailed and have less profanity. He's alright I think.
Podcast instantly overtaken by events. Again.
I love how a TF comment is how I found out about our latest war
until this episode i genuinely thought i was the only Dilbert Child. this makes my affinity for this podcast make *so* much more sense knowing i was listening to two of them
Sadly I was one too.
*Excitedly* looking forward to the next episode of the podcast, "Claudetown".
Stop Open Claw is my safe word
tactical operative dilbert
1. Look up "Dysfunctional Family Circus". 2. Some there are videos of people acting out Mary Worth panels.
Very peculiar.
Re: The Eternal Dilbert, Maybe it's just me but I've found the phrase "I can't imagine what you're going through, but" to be the "I'm not racist, but" of grief It's not an 'I can't relate to the depths of your pain so out of respect for you and the dead I won't worsen it', it's always 'I understood and loved them more than you did'. If it was done with a physical puppet people would immediately see it for what it is, which is a deep and profound sickness
I'm sitting kitty corner at the office with a guy who spends about 17 hours per day on MS Teams talking to architects about how they're going to rework some internal processes to adopt agentic AI and it makes me want to KMS Logistics Pte Ltd
Way to brag, man...
The problem with the bow-tie-wearing vibe of Claude is in large part the name, though. Claude. Way too gay. For Pete they probably gotta rename something like "Walker" or "Gunner". Something an action figure for children would be called. But not GI Joe because Joe is now woke because of infamous Stalinist Biden.
But the thing is also like, a clod is an idiot. Like, a clod is defined as a fool, like the MF DOOM soundbyte "they shall all be rendered as powerless clods". Pogue Clod is a really funny like, band or podcast name, but Peetey has no whimsy in his heart and has the mind of a 10 year old (which like same) so he's gonna do some soy shit with it instead.
Had AI Scott Adams baptized so he’s Mormon now.
i need to see that Mattie Lubchansky panel

uok hun?
Osama bin Claudin
Zitron is a complete hack, I wish you guys would get a better tech correspondent
whats ur issue with him?
I'm not afraid AI can replace me. I'm afraid of the stupid manager that thinks AI can replace me.
You're right! You're very observant to notice that I completely fucked everything despite being told explicitly not to fuck up everything. Please insert 40 compute tokens to continue.
Hey toots...SMILE more!
An accelerated rate of Ed Zitron podcast appearances is considered by economists to be one of the primary recession indicators
