On this episode, we chat with Josh about this work. The exhibition, which was curated by Holly Herndon, Mat Dryhurst, and Hans Ulrich Obrist with Adriana Rispoli, presents practices that engage with the "protocol layer” — in other words, the rules that determine how culture is created, transmitted, remembered.

Microsoft has announced a series of updates at its Build 2026 conference, introducing a new platform for AI agents, seven new in-house AI models and a range of developer platform capabilities designed to support a new era of "ubiquitous intelligence". The company said the announcements are focused on enabling developers to build, deploy and manage intelligent systems with greater flexibility, control and security, while meeting enterprise requirements for governance and trust. Central to the updates is the new Microsoft Agent Platform, which allows developers to build agents using organisational context through Microsoft IQ, deploy them via Microsoft Foundry and access them across Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365. Microsoft said the platform is designed to reduce trade-offs between context and governance, security and speed, and between models and tools. Microsoft also announced that Microsoft IQ is now generally available across GitHub Copilot, Microsoft Foundry and Copilot Studio, providing a unified context layer across enterprise and external data. New capabilities include Work IQ, which captures how work happens across Microsoft 365, organisational systems and external sources, and Web IQ, an AI-first web search stack announced at Build that delivers real-time grounding for agents. Alongside the platform, Microsoft unveiled a new family of seven in-house AI models, including MAI-Thinking-1, its first reasoning model optimised for complex, multi-step tasks. Additional models span image generation, transcription, voice and coding, reinforcing what Microsoft described as a multi-model ecosystem. The company also introduced new tools across the stack, including Microsoft Execution Containers, now in preview, which provide secure, operating-system-enforced sandboxes for agents. The Foundry Agent Service, also in preview, for cloud-scale managed agent deployment; and the GitHub Copilot app, in preview, which brings agent-driven development workflows to a native desktop experience. Beyond software development, Microsoft highlighted applications in scientific research through its Microsoft Discovery platform, which is now generally available as an enterprise AI solution for the full scientific workflow. The company also outlined progress in quantum computing with its next-generation Majorana 2 chip, citing significant improvements in qubit reliability and a path towards a scalable quantum system later this decade. Microsoft said these advancements aim to position developers at the centre of innovation in the AI era, giving them greater agency to build intelligent systems with enterprise-grade controls and trust.

While Alyssa came to Reed planning to study economics and eventually go to law school, she ended up writing a psychology thesis on social anxiety, drinking motives, and alcohol use in gender-diverse communities. In this episode, Alyssa shares about her experience discovering clinical psychology at Reed and taking on a complex statistical analysis project that, despite her best efforts, didn't always cooperate with her intentions. Tune in to hear Alyssa reflect on how she learned to let go of preconceived notions of the “senior thesis,” how she has been continuing her psychology research post-grad, and how her senior year taught her to occasionally step away from the computer and touch grass. Reed community members can read Alyssa's thesis, "So What We Get Drunk: Social Anxiety, Drinking Motives, and Drinking Outcomes in an Emerging Adult Gender Diverse Community Sample," online in the Electronic Thesis Archive: https://rdc.reed.edu/i/bc3e756c-0b48-445d-807e-49da1a2372cf This is the last episode that our student producer, Ace Lackey '27, will produce for the podcast. We're sad to reach this end, but excited for Ace to start their senior year next year, and who knows, maybe they'll be back to do a mini-episode for us while they're working on their thesis.

Has OpenAI ever had a more chaotic week than the past 7ish days?

Singapore shares inched higher today even as Asian markets traded mostly lower. The Straits Times Index rose 0.35% at 4,921.88 points at 12.01pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$737.19M seen in the broader market. In terms of counters to watch, we have Stoneweg Europe Stapled Trust. That’s as the trust invested 50 million euros (S$74.1 million) in AiOnX, its sponsor SWI Group’s data centre development fund, via a mandatory convertible loan. Elsewhere, from how Singapore’s factory output unexpectedly dipped 0.1 per cent year on year in February, a sharp reversal from January’s downwardly revised 12.9 per cent growth, to how Gap plans to open 50 new stores in mainland China in 2026 after breaking even for the first time last quarter, more economic and corporate headlines remained in focus. On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian dived into the details with David Chow, Director, Azure Capital. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We discuss their layered process — creating a space that generates a scene, which produces its own art and dedicated star-system while also serving as source material, location, and cast for all that Max and Calla make in parallel — as a distinctly contemporary protocol for artmaking today. We also talk about the return of theater itself at a time when every physical place now feels like a potential set, whether for a vlog or an ICE raid, and performance online is constant? Does theater hit different in our neo-oral era? Does LA? For more: www.newtheaterhollywood.com & @newtheaterhollywood See also:

The 1992 Los Angeles Uprising was sparked after a jury acquitted four LAPD officers who had been charged with using excessive force in the arrest and beating of Rodney King on April 29, 1992. With the anniversary of the civil unrest approaching, MHD and his co-host, Chavonne Taylor, discuss new policing and public safety models with PUSH LA (Promoting Unity, Safety & Health in Los Angeles) convener Leslie Cooper Johnson and former LAPD Officer Brian S. Bentley.Leslie Cooper Johnson is the Vice President of Organizational Development at Community Coalition, or CoCo, a social justice organization in South Los Angeles, where she has worked for the past 15 years. A lifelong resident of Inglewood, she received her Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. As part of her role at CoCo, Leslie convenes the PUSH LA collective, which stands for Promoting Unity, Safety & Health in Los Angeles. PUSH LA was formed in response to decades of racist policing and has a mission to “reimagine protect & serve.”Brian S. Bentley is an author and a former LAPD officer. His first book, One Time: The Story of a South Central Los Angeles Police Officer, graphically depicts his involvement in suspect beatings and describes in detail the gratification he and his partners received from their actions. He claims some officers are addicted to violence and can't stop on their own. His book lets readers see firsthand how police brutality is accepted and encouraged in law enforcement. Bentley spent most of his career at Southwest Division. He was one of the few LAPD officers who lived in the division they patrolled.

Is your job safe if it happens on a screen?In the past few weeks, AI hasn't just improved, it has crossed a line. From writing production-ready code to building full applications autonomously, the shift is no longer theoretical. It's operational.The reality? AI is moving from assistant to operator, faster than most leaders are prepared for.In this episode, we break down what's really happening behind the headlines, why this moment feels eerily similar to early 2020, and what business leaders must do now to avoid being caught off guard.If you lead people, manage budgets, or make strategic decisions, this conversation is not optional.In this session, you'll discover:Why a viral article comparing AI to early COVID signals a bigger structural shiftHow Claude 4.6 and GPT 5.3 are moving from “helpful tool” to “finished output”The real reason AI labs targeted software engineers firstWhy “anything that can be done on a computer” is now vulnerableHow AI built a full multi-agent production pipeline in 48 hoursWhat Gemini 3.1 Pro's benchmark leap actually meansWhy Accenture now ties promotions to AI usageHow AI insurance is removing enterprise adoption barriersWhat the India AI Summit revealed about global governance tensionsWhy OpenAI's $100B raise is both brilliant and dangerously high-stakesHow robotics is quietly moving from factory floors into daily lifeWhy hybrid human-AI workflows are temporary by designThe coming economic disruption — and where opportunity hides inside itAbout Leveraging AI The Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/ YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/ Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/events If you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

This is an unlocked episode of New Models (originally released 01/31/2026) — to access all our content & to join the NM Discord, subscribe: patreon.com/newmodels newmodels.substack.com -- Gideon Jacobs returns to NM with his third essay in a trilogy for the LA Review of Books that tracks, in real-time, the American Political machine's delamination from everyday life through runaway story-drive. In “MAGA as Fan Fiction,” Gideon shows US politics both left and right as having become a read-write medium for collective creative expression more than material governance—a kind of kayfabe where ‘democracy' takes the form of citizens co-creating storyline with their elected officials and everyone in office has an IMDB profile. Carly & Lil Internet intro this ep with a short conversation drawing out themes across this trilogy that feel particularly NM Canon. “Of course, long before any advanced communication technologies, humans had been drawn not just to stories but also to the possibility of living as characters within them. Story's appeal had always been precisely that it's not like reality. […] a dream of existing free from the pesky flaws intrinsic to reality: uncontrollability, unpredictability, vulnerability, mundanity, complexity, incoherence, confusion, pain.” Audio production: Lil Internet For more:

Taganistas may know Lil Internet from his music videos (Beyoncé, Diplo), his high-concept DJ mixes, or his ever-present voice on Twitter. Since 2017 his main focus has been New Models – a website, podcast and active Discord.But the reason we asked Lil Internet to join us on No Tags is his latest music project – a brand new, rule-based genre he's calling gencore. Showcased across two mixes released in 2024 and 2025, gencore is completely AI-generated from Udio. More controversially, Lil Internet proposes that gencore marks an evolution – or maybe even the endstate – of the hardcore continuum.Obviously this was catnip to us. We spent a great hour with Lil Internet talking about the AI music landscape, how Udio's quirks give AI music ‘soul', moral boundaries and Bandcamp's AI ban.And for the first 30 minutes of the show, we each pick a Winter Olympics sport, compare our gunmanship, and offer some recommendations – including Otto Benson, 6amsunset and They Are Gutting a Body of Water.We do No Tags for the love, but if you enjoy the show and want to show a little love back, you can do so for £5 per month.

New models this week from Anthropic and OpenAI A new Opus and a new Codex – the Agentic Coding war is only continuing to heat up. Both are now incredibly capable and are giving technical users who can't write code superpowers. Anthropic's new Legal plugin wiped $50 billion from the stock market The Co-Work plugin for Claude can review legal documents, flag risks, and track compliance. Legal tech stocks took a hammering. Harvey, a legal focused startup, does exactly the same thing as this plugin, and is/was valued at $8 billion. There are a lot of AI startups that are "wrappers", basically adding some UI or workflow on top of these models. We're going to see a lot of startups die as the big AI platforms start to offer specialist tools. The EU says TikTok is too addictive for kids But how do you solve it? The Commission has some ideas, including adding screentime breaks (so the user's app disabled for a set number of minutes?), changing its algorithms (showing less interesting content?), and disabling the "infinite scroll" (so forcing a user to go back to a menu to pick their next video?).

In Part 2 of our Building Better Foundations interview with Hunter Jensen, founder and CEO of Barefoot Solutions and Barefoot Labs, we explore how companies can begin adapting their business to AI over the next one to three years. Rather than imagining futuristic scenarios, Hunter keeps the focus on what's already happening—and what leaders must do now to stay ahead. About Hunter Jensen Hunter Jensen is the Founder and CEO of Barefoot Solutions, a digital agency specializing in artificial intelligence, data science, and digital transformation. With over 20 years of experience, Hunter has worked with startups and Fortune 500 companies, including Microsoft and Salesforce, to implement innovative technology strategies that drive measurable ROI. A seasoned leader and expert in the AI space, Hunter helps businesses harness cutting-edge technologies to achieve growth and efficiency. Facebook / Twitter (X) / LinkedIn / Website Where Companies Will See the First Wins When Adapting Their Business to AI Hunter starts by shortening the timeline. Five years is too far; the real transformation is happening in the next 12–36 months. Today's early value comes from AI supporting back-office functions: HR Accounting Research Administrative work These areas already show measurable ROI. But adapting your business to AI isn't just about automating repetitive tasks. "What comes next is using AI to support the thing your business actually does." – Hunter Jensen If you're in cybersecurity, AI will amplify cybersecurity tasks. If you work in finance, AI will speed up analysis and deal preparation. If you're in legal, AI will reshape workflows and client expectations. These shifts mark the second major phase of adapting your business to AI. The Coming Surplus: How AI Redefines Knowledge Work When Adapting Your Business to AI As companies begin adapting their business to AI, productivity skyrockets. Hunter predicts that many teams will get 5x more output from the same number of people. We see this creating a new challenge: a surplus of available work hours. This has already happened in software development. With AI-enhanced coding, the same team can deliver far more in far less time. Hunter warns that other knowledge-work fields—including law, consulting, and analytics—are next in line. "Layoffs are not a growth strategy. You need to innovate." – Hunter Jensen Instead of cutting staff, leaders should redirect excess capacity into new products, services, and innovation. Adapting Your Business to AI Requires Rethinking Your Model The biggest disruption comes not from tools—but from business models. Hunter shares how Barefoot Solutions, after 20 years of hourly-based software development, had to rethink its entire model when adapting its business to AI. With AI writing code faster than ever, traditional hourly billing simply couldn't reflect true value. The result? A shift toward product development, leading to the creation of Compass, an internal AI platform that helps organizations securely use their data. Many industries—especially those built on billable hours—will need to make similar changes. That means exploring: Value-based pricing Productized services Internal tools that create leverage Hybrid service + product offerings Adapting your business to AI means adapting how you make money, not just how you work. What Developers and Students Should Do Now For younger developers or recent graduates, adapting your career to AI is just as important as adapting your business to AI. Hunter recommends: Building strong AI literacy Understanding how to investigate, validate, and critique AI output Learning to integrate AI APIs into real applications Creating proof-of-concept projects that solve real business problems "The best way to learn is by building. Anything. Solve one real pain point." – Hunter Jensen Those projects become powerful résumé builders—and valuable stepping stones into the industry. Why Data Is Now the Ultimate Competitive Advantage The era of "first mover advantage" is over. AI allows competitors to replicate an idea in a weekend. But one thing cannot be cloned: your proprietary data. Hunter argues that adapting your business to AI means treating your data like a strategic asset. Companies with decades of untouched data—financial, healthcare, legal, operational—hold the new competitive moat. If you can use AI to unlock insights from that data, you create advantages no competitor can copy. Turning Disruption Into Opportunity As Hunter explains, adapting your business to AI is not optional: Productivity will surge Pricing models will shift Historic data will become a treasure chest Innovation will define survival But for entrepreneurs, leaders, and developers, this is also the most exciting moment in decades. The companies that adapt will not only survive—they'll lead. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.

“Neo-orality” has been an important term in the New Models zone this year—but what exactly do we mean by it?  With this two-part episode of NM Reads, we bring you two papers by the scholar Jacqueline Fendt, who is Emeritus Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at ESCP Business School in Paris, and—to the best of our knowledge—the first to define “neo-oral” in the way that we've come to use it.*  She also, as a Swiss corporate executive in her 70s, happens to have a lot to say about “vibes” and what she observes to be a titanic shift in human communication from democracy to, as she puts it, “vibrocacy.” For Part 1 (this post), Lil Internet reads excerpts from: Jacqueline Fendt, “Democracy, Neo-Orality, and the Unraveling of Political Norms: What Can We Social and Political Scholars Do?” Open Journal of Political Science, Vol. 15, No. 3, (May 31, 2025) [Copyright: CC BY 4.0] For Part 2 (forthcoming), Lil Internet reads excerpts from: Jacqueline Fendt, “Beyond Wicked: Vibocratic Problems in the Post-Truth Era” International Journal of Social Science Studies, Vo. 13, No. 2, (Redfame, Jun 27, 2025) These papers have been vital to our thinking this fall. In the spirit of the neo-oral we're sharing them with you here as Lil Internet produced audio with the hope that they will be as big of an unlock for you as they have been for us. _ * Media theorist Walter J. Ong wrote about a “second orality” in 1971, and then more extensively in his 1982 book Orality and Literacy: The Technologizing of the World, describing it as “a more deliberate and self-conscious orality, based permanently on the use of writing and print.” Fendt cites Ong's writing but goes much further, showing how the rise of “neo-orality” is fundamentally re-ordering human society: “By Neo-orality, we mean not just a return to oral habits,” Fendt writes, “but a deeper epistemic shift. It privileges immediacy over reflection, presence over argument, and shared emotional resonance over detached verification. Unlike classic orality, which relied on embodied presence, neo-orality travels across screens, memes, and livestreams.”

If you've ever wondered whether tighter, stiffer, more precise ski boots could actually make you a better skier — this episode is for you.In this conversation, I chat with Brent Amsbury, owner of Park City Bootfit in Utah and one of the most respected boot fitters in the US. Brent and I dive into the world of what he calls “Ultra Performance Ski Boots.”These aren't full plug race boots, but they sit just below that level — designed for serious skiers who want more precision, better energy transfer, and a stronger connection to their skis. We talk about: • What defines an ultra performance ski boot • Why many modern ski boots have swung too far towards comfort at the expense of performance • How to tell if this style of boot is right for you • The fitting process: punching, stretching, and fine-tuning for your foot • Common mistakes skiers make when switching to a closer-fitting boot • The pros and cons — from control and sensitivity to comfort and practicalityIf you've been feeling like your current boots are holding you back — or you're ready to step up to a higher-performing setup — this chat will help you understand what to expect and how to get it right.

A Question of Ethics: A Conversation on Courts and EthicsNovember 20th, 2025Across America, many communities are in what scholars call “legal deserts,” areas with few, if any, available attorneys to meet the legal needs of local citizens. Rural towns and poorurban neighborhoods often lack affordable access to lawyers, leaving residents without practical guidance for solving their legal problems. This shortage frustrates individuals seeking justice, and undermines confidence in the justice system itself.  It widens the gap between those who can afford representation and those who cannot. To help bridge this gap, a few states (for example, Utah, Alaska, and now Oregon), are experimenting with using non-attorney legal advocates. These are trained professionals, often known as Community Justice Workers, who work under the guidance of a practicing attorney. Others, in Arizona for example, are called Certified Community Legal Advocates. They are untethered from a practicing lawyer. These non-attorney advocates can assist people in certain specific legal areas including:·        family law·        landlord-tenant disputes·        employment issues·        government benefits·        domestic violence, or·        debt collection defense. These advocates work within the limitations prohibiting non-lawyers from offering what is defined as “legal advice,” a boundary carefully guarded by the laws governing the unauthorized practice of law. This prohibition is also codifiedin NACM's Model Code of Conduct for Court Professionals. Canon 1.7 states, “A court professional is responsive to inquiries regarding standard court procedures but does not give legal advice unless required as part of one's official position.”While these restrictions safeguard the public from unqualified guidance, they also constrain non-lawyers from fully helping individuals through complex legal processes. These restrictions raise difficult questions about the balance between consumer protection and access to justice. In this episode we are talking about communities that are “legal deserts,” where residents lack access to affordable legal help. Some states are experimenting with non-attorney legal advocates to bridge this gap. Is this a model for thefuture? Today's PanelMaggie Humm Executive Director of the Alaska Legal Services Corporation in Anchorage.Sarah Carver Co-director of the Alaska Legal Services Corporation's Community Justice Workers Resource Center.Creadell Webb Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer for the 1st Judicial District Court, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,Liz Rambo Trial Court Administrator for the Lane County Circuit Court, in Eugene, Oregon

New research indicates that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) is expanding beyond established guidelines, with significant implications for IT leadership and security. A study from UpGuard reveals that over 80% of employees in sectors like finance and healthcare are utilizing unauthorized AI tools, often referred to as shadow AI. This trend raises security concerns, as nearly half of these employees report regular use of these unapproved tools, with one in four trusting AI more than their colleagues. The findings suggest that while AI is becoming integral to business operations, the lack of clear ownership and governance poses risks for organizations.The evolving role of IT leaders is highlighted by a report from Atera, which shows that 63% of IT leaders are experiencing changes in their responsibilities due to AI advancements. Notably, 49% of respondents emphasize the importance of guiding business value leadership, while 47% recognize the need for orchestrating human-AI collaboration. Despite these shifts, only 12% of IT leaders report that AI ownership is clearly defined within their organizations, indicating a gap in governance that could exacerbate the risks associated with shadow AI.In addition to these developments, the episode discusses the financial landscape for managed service providers (MSPs) as outlined in a report from TopDown Ventures. The report forecasts that managed AI platforms will evolve into a $1.3 trillion market by 2030, driven by the demand for efficiency and governance. Furthermore, 418 publicly traded companies have identified AI as a significant reputational risk, with concerns about misinformation and security exposure. Despite these risks, companies are increasing their AI investments, with average spending reportedly doubling in 2024.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the implications are clear. The rapid adoption of AI necessitates a structured approach to governance and security to mitigate risks associated with shadow AI. As organizations navigate the complexities of AI integration, there is an opportunity for IT service providers to offer solutions that standardize AI usage and ensure compliance. The evolving landscape underscores the need for proactive strategies to harness AI's potential while maintaining control and oversight.  Three things to know today00:00 Consumer AI Habits Spill Into the Workplace: High Trust, High Risk, and Little Ownership Across Organizations06:49 Investors Push MSPs Toward AI-Orchestrated Platforms While SEC Filings Flag Growing AI Reputational Threats11:08 OpenAI Pushes GPT-5.1 as Model Volatility Rises While Fei-Fei Li's Marble Targets Practical 3D Digital Twins This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/https://try.auvik.com/dave-switch

"It's like girl, China, sex, postmodernism, conceptual romance—a book that sells itself to you over and over and over again as you read it,” she remarks. Published in parallel English/Chinese, the novel was originally written to accompany a piece by Diane Severin Nguyen show at the Rockbund Art Museum in Shanghai. It now circulates as a kind of Reena Spaulings (the novel) for the Exocapitalism era, testing the limits of what fiction now is and what content could be. Based in NYC, Olivia is the author of the Kendall Jenner x Lil Peep fanfic, Island Time (Expat Press, 2022) as well as an associate editor + regular contributor to The Paris Review. Her words have also appeared and been channeled through outlets such as Heavy Traffic, Viscose, Kaleidoscope, n+1, and Montez Press Radio, among others.

Send us a textWelcome back to the Testing and Tech on Vital MX, presented by Yamaha Motor USA. Our latest podcast/YouTube show brings our Content Director, Michael Lindsay, and our Product Editor at Large, Steven Tokarski, together to chat about different topics. This week, we discuss two of our favorite 450s in comparison to eachother, the YZ450F and KX450...we ask Stevie about his experience developing bikes at Yamaha, how OEMs develop and test new models, and some of the items that only pros get to test.

OpenAI has made significant strides in the AI landscape with a series of announcements that position it as a leading platform in the industry. The introduction of new models, including the GPT-5 Pro and Sora 2, alongside app integrations like Slack and a new Apps SDK, marks a pivotal moment for the company. These developments aim to enhance user interaction and streamline workflows, allowing users to perform tasks directly within the ChatGPT interface. The partnership with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) for a multi-billion dollar chip deal further solidifies OpenAI's commitment to expanding its computing capabilities, crucial for the advancement of its AI technologies.In a contrasting scenario, Deloitte has faced scrutiny after delivering a flawed report to the Australian government, which included errors attributed to the use of AI. Despite this setback, Deloitte is moving forward with a significant partnership with Anthropic to deploy their AI chatbot, Claude, across its workforce. This juxtaposition highlights the challenges and risks associated with AI integration in business operations, emphasizing the need for careful governance and oversight. The incident serves as a cautionary tale about the potential pitfalls of relying too heavily on AI without proper verification.The podcast also discusses the broader implications of AI adoption in enterprises, revealing that a majority of AI projects are failing due to governance gaps and a lack of trust in the technology. A survey by Gartner indicates that many IT leaders are concerned about regulatory compliance, with only a small percentage feeling confident in their organizations' ability to manage AI tools effectively. This situation underscores the importance of establishing robust governance frameworks to ensure that AI implementations are both effective and trustworthy.As the AI landscape continues to evolve, the podcast suggests that service providers should pivot towards building governance frameworks and risk management strategies rather than simply promoting AI hype. The focus should shift to creating value through responsible AI use, ensuring that clients can trust the technology they are implementing.

A follow up to his 2024 mixtape, Illegal Generation Vol. 1, Lil Internet brings you Vol. 2 — a new hour of fresh “gencore,” which aired today on Mark Leckey's monthly NTS radio show. [https://www.nts.live/shows/mark-leckey] “Compared to Volume 1,” Lil Internet writes, “Volume 2 feels closer to a truly functional example of what AI generated music might offer outside of joke songs and the emulation of styles that already exist—it's also more deranged.” “Both, however, are made in the tradition of sample-based, breakbeat driven dance music,” Lil Internet points out, which is to say music that “has always been made using the latest technology and stolen data (uncleared samples).” In this sense, Gencore is part of the natural evolution of what music critic Simon Reynolds named the “hardcore continuum.” Could one even argue that the big AI companies — sampling everything we type, everything we upload, everything we do — follow the same protocol? Perhaps the “hardcore continuum” has expanded from something we listen to into something we are living through.

This is a preview — for the full episode, subscribe: https://newmodels.io https://patreon.com/newmodels https://newmodels.substack.com Theorists Marek Poliks & Roberto Alonso Trillo (co-hosts of the Dis.integrator pod) come on New Models to talk us through their highly anticipated new book, Exocapitalism: Economies with Absolutely No Limits, which is out this month from Becoming Press. Through their radical rethinking of capitalism — its indifference to human scale, its endless appetite for complexity, its rapacious transformation of everything into betting surfaces — Marek and Roberto relieve us of old Leftist frameworks, supplying a decoder ring for the growing incoherence of everyday contemporary life.
