I think one important distinction is at least they have some humility to admit they were wrong. I think Ed Zitron has rarely, if ever acknowledged he was wrong.

I'd be amazed to see a source proving that statement. There's never been a retraction around the AGI claims for example as far as I'm aware.
Humility? I don't think they know what the word means let alone possess the capacity to demonstrate it.
I actually think you’ve got it backwards
I think one of Zitron’s problems is that his moral righteousness has blinded him to how embarrassingly incorrect he is about the AI space.
It’s similarly hubristic with the benefit of shielding from his adversarial framing.
