TRASHFUTURE

Riley, Hussein, and November speak with friends of the show Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff about their new book, Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed. We discuss the political ethos of Musk and his peers, and the origins of his "everything is computer" philosophy. However, we also had to take a detour into the story of the "AI-built startup that's worth a billion dollars," because... well, it's just a thing that lies a bunch. Again.

You can buy Quinn and Ben's book here!

There's been a recent profile of Sam Altman that gives a lot of chances for analysis, mostly due to the fact that the man loves lying more than anything any one of us could ever love in this world. We also talk about Starmer's Spanish encounters and how every minor problem Hussein experiences sounds like something Keir Starmer could also be experiencing in his daily life.

Luke returns to discuss Mark KKKarney’s failure to reform the Canadian state in the face of a global crisis for middle powers, and the emergence of a new leader on the left with a few ideas about grocery stores that may just work, if they can get past a certain Food Professor, that is.

Friend of the show Ed Zitron returns to discuss some of the recent developments in AI "profitability," or rather the fact that, while the economy doesn't hinge on AI in any meaningful way, the capital markets....have gotten themselves into a position where they do. And it's their own fault!
