Podcast appearances and mentions of richard barbrook

Douglas Rushkoff has spent the last thirty years studying how digital technologies have shaped our world. The renowned media theorist is the author of twenty books, the host of the Team Human podcast, and a professor of Media Theory and Digital Economics at City University of New York. But when I sat down with him, he didn't seem all that excited to be talking about AI. Instead, he suggested – I think only half jokingly – that he'd rather be talking about the new reboot of Dexter.Rushkoff's lack of enthusiasm around AI may stem from the fact that he doesn't see it as the ground shifting technology that some do. Rather, he sees generative artificial intelligence as just the latest in a long line of communication technologies – more akin to radio or television than fire or electricity.But while he may not believe that artificial intelligence is going to bring about some kind of techno-utopia, he does think its impact will be significant. So eventually we did talk about AI. And we ended up having an incredibly lively conversation about whether computers can create real art, how the “California ideology” has shaped artificial intelligence, and why it's not too late to ensure that technology is enabling human flourishing – not eroding it.Mentioned:“Cyberia” by Douglas Rushkoff“The Original WIRED Manifesto” by Louis Rossetto“The Long Boom: A History of the Future, 1980–2020″ by Peter Schwartz and Peter Leyden“Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires” by Douglas Rushkoff“Artificial Creativity: How AI teaches us to distinguish between humans, art, and industry” by Douglas Rushkoff” by Douglas Rushkoff“Empirical Science Began as a Domination Fantasy” by Douglas Rushkoff“A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace” by John Perry Barlow“The Californian Ideology” by Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron“Can AI Bring Humanity Back to Health Care?,” Machines Like Us Episode 5Further Reading:“The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects” by Marshall McLuhan“Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology” by Neil Postman“Amusing Ourselves to Death” by Neil Postman

Dr. Richard Barbrook is a senior lecturer in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at the University of Westminster. He is the author of Media Freedom (Pluto, 1995) and Imaginary Futures (Pluto, 2007).  His other important writings  include The Hi-Tech Gift Economy, Cyber-communism, The Regulation of Liberty and The Class of the New, and today with Jules he is discussing his prophetic 1995 essay "The Californian Ideology".    In the essay, Dr. Barbrook and Andy Cameron argue that the rise of networking technologies in Silicon Valley in the 90s was linked to American neoliberalism and a paradoxical hybridization of beliefs from the political left and right in the form of hopeful technological determinism.  This new amalgamated ideology combined the ideas of Marshall McLuhan with elements of radical individualism, libertarianism, and neoliberal economics, using publications like Wired Magazine to promulgate their ideas.  This ideology mixed New Left and New Right beliefs together based on their shared interest in anti-statism, the counterculture of the 1960s, and techno-utopianism.    The original promise of the Californian Ideology was that computers would liberate us from all the old forms of political control, and we would become Randian heroes, in control of our own destinies. Instead, today, we feel the opposite—that we are helpless components in a global system—a system that is controlled by a rigid logic that we are powerless to challenge or change.   Additional Info/Links Below…   The Californian Ideology pdf  Dr. Richard Barbrook - Twitter, Website, GoodReads Imaginary Futures:  From Thinking Machines to the Global Village, by Richard Barbrook The Internet Revolution by Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron The Class of the New by Richard Barbrook The Hi-Tech Gift Economy by Richard Barbrook Support this podcast and unlock bonus content: www.patreon.com/noeasyanswers --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/noeasyanswers/support

The future is a funny thing. It's always around the corner, and yet it never quite arrives. That's certainly true when speaking about the technology industry. As the personal computer revolution and the internet began spreading around the world, commentators and entrepreneurs made fortunes telling everyone that we were going to have a technological utopia in which everything was possible. It was a parallel to what was happening in the political world, where the collapse of the Soviet Union inspired writers and politicians to declare that humanity had reached the “End of History,” a singular moment in time in which we could have the freedom of social democracy as smiling and benevolent billionaires provided everything we could ever want at unimaginably low prices. In the years since, however, all of these promises have failed to materialize. While we can indeed get more stuff than ever before, wages have been stagnant, millions have abandoned the labor force, and the supposedly benevolent billionaires have openly allied themselves with religious fundamentalists in the hopes of preserving the massive wealth they've extracted from the world economy. One person who perhaps saw this coming is Richard Barbrook, our guest on this episode of Theory of Change. He's the co-author of a 1995 essay called “The Californian Ideology,” which was a rare contemporary dissent from what later became known as neoliberalism and also the emerging techno-libertarianism. Years later, he wrote a 2007 re-examination of the subject in a book called “Imaginary Futures: From Thinking Machines to the Global Village.” SUPPORT THE SHOW PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/theorychange Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/discoverflux If you're not able to support financially, please help us by subscribing and/or leaving a nice review on your favorite podcast app. Doing this helps other people find Theory of Change and our great guests.

When it comes to visions of the way that technology will intersect with society in the future, Silicon Valley has a near monopoly. It's been nearly 30 years since Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron published the essay https://www.metamute.org/editorial/articles/californian-ideology (The Californian Ideology), which they say naturalized and gave a “technological proof to a libertarian political philosophy, and therefore foreclosing on alternative futures,” a “faith” that is “made possible through a nearly universal belief in technological determinism.” Now, the economic power of Silicon Valley has left its billionaire class fairly certain it is above reproach, unchecked and unchallenged, even as some of the biggest firms spawned there are locked in a staring contest with governments in Washington, Brussels and beyond.  To talk more about the ways in which Silicon Valley elites have captured so much of what people define as “progress” and the pronouncements of some individuals who make wild promises about the abundant future that technology will supposedly deliver, Tech Policy Press spoke to https://davidkarpf.com/about/ (Dave Karpf), who has been thinking about these issues for some time. He is the author of http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0199898383/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d2_g14_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1EJXKRXAV2PGNBGFV5H1&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846 (The MoveOn Effect: The Unexpected Transformation of American Political Advocacy), published in May 2012 by Oxford University Press, and https://global.oup.com/academic/product/analytic-activism-9780190266134?lang=en&cc=us (Analytic Activism: Digital Listening and the New Political Strategy) published in December 2016 by Oxford University Press.

Ana and Camila chat about the development of a Soviet nationwide information network in the 60s that was meant to run a planned economy for the USSR. Built after Sputnik's launch, it brought about Soviet cybernetics and promised a new era for Soviet sciences, mathematics economics and technology. Discussing the project's termination due to inner-bureaucratic competition, this episode also looks at ARPANET's simultaneous development; its surprisingly socialist structures of funding and collaborative mindsets that led to its success.We're on Instagram!And Twitter!Main research for the episode was done by Ana who also edited.Music by Nelson Guay (SoundCloud: fluxlinkages)References:- “How Not to Network a Nation: The Uneasy History of the Soviet Internet”, Benjamin Peters, 2016- “Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration”, Ed Catmull, 2014- “The Californian Ideology”, Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron, 1995

On this week's show Jack and Dan continue their expedition to America's testcase state in all things deplorable and dastardly; California! Come listen to how a motley band of hippies, armed with sci-fi novels and utopian dreams, came to define the dystopian reality of the nascent computer age. Our hosts learn how things went so disastrously wrong and are forced to consider just how attached they they are to their “wetware”. Reading: The Californian Ideology by Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron (1995)

In her work Moira Weigel takes a close look at the liaison between technology and nationalism. For this the dissertation of Palantir's CEO, Alex C. Karp, is a surprisingly revealing document.

In this episode, Simon, Tobi and Vaughn are joined by Richard Barbrook and Alex Sayf Cummings to discuss the "Californian Ideology", an essay co-authored by Richard in 1995 which was a critique of dotcom neoliberalism.

Richard Barbrook was our guest on today's show. He is about to begin some work with the Labour party on digital democracy and large-scale, crowd-sourced policy making.

Special multipart series on the Californian Ideology: the seemingly paradoxical hybrid of New Left and New Right ideas - the synthesis of hippies with yuppies, all tied together with the promise that technology might liberate us. In part one, we talk to Richard Barbrook about the Californian Ideology today before discussing health and mental illness with the 'States of Wellness' group at UC Irvine (Catherine Liu, Benjamin Kruger-Robins, Michael Mahoney, Thomas Williams). Thanks to UC Irvine School of Humanities for sponsoring this series. Readings: Natural Causes, Barbara Ehrenreich The Happiness Industry, William Davies Coming Up Short, Jennifer Silva Subscribe: patreon.com/BungaCast

In this episode we discuss the 1995 essay "The Californian Ideology" by Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron. This episode was recorded before the Blade Runner 2049 episodes, so in the recording it's misidentified as "Episode 3", don't @ us.

With the birth of the internet and advance of digital networks, we’ve been promised everything from creative cooperation and digital democracy, to the end of work and a new abundance of leisure time. It’s a promise of a techno-utopia that persists today. Playing for team human today, Dr. Richard Barbrook challenges this imaginary future by unearthing the neoliberal underpinnings of Silicon Valley’s vision of progress. Rushkoff and Barbrook engage in a conversation that both uncovers the economic forces driving the evolution of technology while simultaneously acknowledging the utility of our tech tools as evidenced in the recent organizing around Labour underdog, Jeremy Corbyn. Rushkoff opens with a monologue challenging his own initial enthusiasm for Universal Basic Income. Is UBI just another gaming of the system in order to perpetuate consumption in an vastly unequal society?Team Human is supported entirely by listeners.
