Josh from The Worst Of All Possible Worlds joins Nova, Riley, and HK to discuss the newest, hottest document in Effective Altruism /AI Safetyism, “AI 2027,” which posits a world in which Chinese and American AI's team up to turn all of humanity into a paste to lubricate a dyson sphere.

Alex Scaggs of The Hedge (https://theehedge.substack.com) joins us to talk about the economic chaos unleashed on the world by… Fed Chair Paul Volcker between 1979 and 1982. This episode tries to make sense of the ongoing American trade war with much of the rest of the world - going into the history of the American grand treat bargain, how the character of manufacturing has changed, and the psychiatry of why the guy from Cantor Fitzgerald wants you to stop sending emails and start hitting the girder with the big hammer.

404 Media's Jason Koebler joins us to discuss the hot new book Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams, where a senior Facebook executive confirms, very gratifyingly, that all the worst things we knew about Facebook were - in fact - true and on purpose. Including what a horrible place it is to work, and what sociopathic freaks Zuckerberg and Sandberg are.

This week, Riley interviews disability activist and Manchester Metropolitan University professor Dr Lucy Burke about upcoming Labour policy changes to enact even more cruelty against the disabled under the guise of ‘combatting benefits culture.' The combined gang of Riley, Hussein, and November also discuss the non-America news, particularly regarding countries actually defending themselves against right-wing takeovers?

Automotive journalist Victoria Scott joins us to talk about Tesla's ailing fortunes, and the new cottage industry appearing in the media of articles to the effect of “I bought the Nazi car and everyone keeps calling me a nazi.” Additionally, the new American century, Starmer's (non) diplomacy, and showing the entire country a video.   Get the full episode on Patreon here!   *NATE ALERT* Lions Led By Donkeys is performing live in London on Friday, 11th April!

Former US diplomat Josef Burton joins November and Riley to discuss the denunciations, deportations, and imprisonment of immigrants in the United States. Also, the degeneration of the state into personal enforcement fiefdoms, and the likely eventual Democratic leadership response (“we would do the black bagging much better”).

Riley, Nova, and HK discuss the Labour Party's planned campaign of social murder against the disabled in the UK - including a deep dive on the ongoing poster-to-policy pipeline around the recent (and not so recent) attacks on the Motability charity - that is described as “not austerity, because it's half of what Osborne did.” Also, finance a burrito (US edition), the podcast discusses a new morning routine, and Quibi's Meg Whitman returns from her ambassadorship to Kenya (???) to a board seat at Coreweave.

Riley, Nova, and Hussein talk about the trials and tribulations of trying to give every job in the world to a computer, as “Agentforce” fails to materialise, discuss Jan Marsalek (finally), and look at a terrible new startup.

We start by looking at Canada's destiny as the last holdout of Deloitte Pride Float liberalism, and then Neom's ongoing woes as executives supported by McKinsey start frantically figuring out how to make the whole thing work economically. Then, film critic A.S. Hamrah joins Riley and November to talk about AI in the film industry, and the studio executives' bizarre desire to algorithmically raise the dead. Buy A.S.

QAA's Julian Feeld joins us to discuss how Q-Anon has metastasised into mainstream political thought in the global North, and will usher in a whole new era of traumas and catastrophes that will in turn produce yet wilder political tendencies that will continue metastasising. Also, Starmer's forensic diplomacy lasts all of 45 minutes, the dissociative border patrol, and Miguel Arruda stands firm.

It's a Britainology episode, except it's every member of TF on this one, so in a sense it only makes sense to give the show guest billing. And Milo has created a suite of test questions to determine whether or not we know enough of the actually-relevant details about the UK. Let's just say that the final scores... are something of a surprise to us.

Quinn Slobodian joins us to discuss his new book, Hayek's Bastards (subtitle subtitle) - which traces the syncretic relationship of scientific racism, techno-solutionism, and the quest to destroy the cathedral to Neoliberalism's crisis of mission in the 1990s.

We talk about the Trump plan to bring stability to the Middle East by building hotels and casinos on top of the mass gravesite of an ethnically cleansed Gaza, and how it's differences from the Biden plan are largely in its aesthetics. Also, the art of the deal in Ukraine, another cushy job in venture capital for an unqualified natsec goon (democrat), and what do you call a group of three or more people on the Labour Right… a WhatsApp scandal!

Liv Agar from QAAnonymous joins us to discuss the birth of Canadian nationalism, in that suddenly Albertans are booing the U.S. national anthem. Why? Well, Trump is moving forward with 25% tariffs on Canada, threatening Canada militarily (?), and managing to get extremely dumb-guy Canadian conservatives to disavow the US with the same vigor as they supported Bernard the Roughneck.

Ed Zitron returns to discuss how a Chinese hedge fund created an AI model that accomplished much of what OpenAI's frontier model can do, and Sam Alrman's best idea is to apply the “kind of gets it right sometimes” energy of LLMs to running your life. Also, grand theft luggage is rife in Lisbon airport, Masayoshi Son makes a bad investment, and Rupert Grint's new app “Grinted” makes a splash.

Ciaran and Nick from Corner Spaeti join the gang to discuss the inauguration of the 47th President of the United States, and what that means for the UK, Germany, and more or less all of humanity. Also, Alice Weidel isn't gay, she's just married to a woman; Cypriot Mister Beast enters a combat zone; and Peter Mandelson wishes upon a Monkey's Paw.

Must we live in a world where everyone decides we want AI-generated friends to make AI-generated stories (which are fake), or AI-enabled kitchen appliances? When you actually dig into this stuff, it turns out everyone knows it sucks and we hate it. Today's guest is friend of the show Jason Koebler of 404 Media, who has done the legwork to examine just how stupid it is. Plus, we talk about Elon Musk's new fixation on the UK, and that strangely sexual, AI-generated video of anthropomorphic animal cops that [Neil Kinnock voice] the Labour Party published?

Our last free episode of 2024 involves Riley, Milo, and November watching the Rock in a terrible Christmas film entitled RED ONE. It's a film in which Christmas is saved by the surveillance state, jacked Santa trains in the gym to do room-clearing and be an operator, and so much more.

We've brought on friend of the show Josh Boerman from The Worst of All Possible Worlds to discuss recent drone/UFO “sightings” in the US, the AI filmmaking industry (which sucks), the AI games industry (even worse), and recent revelations that a certain Royal has been getting in trouble yet again—but not for the reasons you'd think!

Starmer, in a bout of what some people are calling “Extreme Popularity,” is relaunching his government after only a few months, despite winning basically a historic majority. He's turning to the tried and tested policies, the old favourites - running government like a business, cutting the budget, and of course… a cop in every house. Also, we look at two Thiel Companies (Sauron and Orchid), and an exercise in public speaking gone wrong courtesy of our friends at 404 media.

We bring ill tidings… a man with the physiognomy of Humpty Dumpty, except with billions of dollars and a grudge against Wokeness, has brought news of innocent venture capitalists being de-banked for the mere crime of committing securities fraud! That's right, Marc Andreessen is finally free to say the word even louder than before, and he joins fellow Web 1.0 robber barons in coalescing around Trump part 2. To discuss this, we're joined by friend of the show Brian Merchant (@bcmerchant), who has a new podcast with fellow friend of the show Paris Marx called System Crash that you should check out!

We performed live at Between the Bridges in London on Sunday, 24th November 2024. Storm Bert was raging. November's train got canceled due to it being wet. The wind itself took issue with our venue. But we convened before a crowd, joined by ultimate friend of the show Devon from the Kill James Bond podcast, to discuss Boris Johnson's new tell-all memoir. It is… a lot.

  For this month's first Britainology, we've decided to watch a sunny, optimistic film from 1984 called THREADS. You may have heard of it—it's a slice-of-life kitchen sink drama set in Sheffield, except a nuclear war breaks out between the US and the Soviet Union, resulting in a total and complete apocalypse. It is... harrowing to say the least, but we tried to find something interesting to say about it.   Check out more from Jamie here! Get the whole episode on Patreon here!

Ed Ongweso Jr. joins the gang (joined by Devon from Kill James Bond) to talk about new developments in the parallel economy for based chads who fear public transportation and going out of the house generally, Elon Musk's emerging role as “first buddy” to a man who may grow to hate him, and Peter Mandelson's campaign to cozy the UK up to the aforementioned “first buddy.” Also, we discuss a very TF Season One style startup (thank you to a listener for sending that in!).

We're speedrunning Blairism in the UK with new feigned outrage about NHS dental care in prisons. We love a carceral state but we hate that it might be obligated to provide some services to prisoners.

  This was not an episode that were happy to record, in the sense that—gallows humour aside—this sucks! It's bad. But, for this immediate post-mortem bonus episode, Riley, Milo, and November discuss the US election... as well as the Labour party's cosying up to Trump, the future trends you can predict in British politics, and the fact that the UK now has at least four Pod Save America equivalents.

Riley, November, and Hussein review some of TF Ltd's strategic investments in the Humane Pin and the Apple Vision Pro, before moving on to look at the replacement of more humans in creative roles with ChatGPT in the UK entertainment industry, the desire of UK armed police officers to be treated like their American counterparts, and finally a reading on the inner life of Masayoshi Son… as we of course do at every pension fund allocation meeting.

For this week's DadChat, Nate and Francis join former Trashfuture intern and friend of the show Keaton to discuss what it's actually like being 18 in 2024, and why the iron law of nostalgia means that kids are now playing 2000s music at parties under the guise of classic throwback jams. We come out of the experience feeling enlightened and very, very old.

For this week's bonus, we've got a Balthasar Speedboat recorded in Australia featuring comedian Freddie McManus, in which Riley determines his dream sponsor for the podcast is a wine grower that makes wine you can't buy, Milo tells the story of Russian cops' elaborate ambushes to bother people going to raves, and the group determines how to deploy an erotic edge to win a badminton match.

We recorded a live show at Between the Bridges in London on May 29 with friend of the show Nish Kumar, who has been doomed to listen to us read terrible political books to him until the end of time. And in this instance we're reading TEN YEARS TO SAVE THE WEST by former Prime Minister and bathrobe despoiler Liz Truss. You are not prepared for how deeply stupid this book is.

For this week's bonus, it's Riley, Hussein, and November discussing: Masayoshi Son's desire to create AI God (actual), Labour's march towards total alienation of everyone in hopes of governing from the void, a bizarre profile of Keir Starmer in which he seems to suggest he has never read a book, and a very strange encounter with Reform UK's argument that any negative press it receives is because of…crisis actors?

It's the free one for the week and we're discussing Balaji Srinivasan, and the Network State freaks of the Bay Area, with extremely experienced California journalist Gil Duran (@gilduran76). However, we're also discussing the indentured-servitude coding boot camp that got hemmed up by the CFPB, as well as a story where McDonald's had to shelve its AI ordering assistance experiment after it went full chaos mode and started arbitrarily deciding that some customers wanted hundreds of dollars in nuggets, or a handful of butter packets when they ordered ice cream. This is definitely worth not having electricity.

For this week's TF bonus, we're speaking with Welsh journalist Becca Wilks about the Welsh government's usage of automatic facial recognition, the privacy nightmare it creates, and their frankly bonkers justifications for why they want to use it everywhere. Don't worry, it won't cause any.....actually we're just getting an update that it's already being used to stifle protests? The episode is available on Patreon here.   A note from Becca: "Myself and Devon are currently supporting Ahmed, a dad of four in Gaza, to raise money for the family's living costs and eventual evacuation. We're also trying to help Ahmed's friend Rasha, who is a medical student in Egypt with her entire family trapped in Rafah. Both sets of families have been through absolutely harrowing ordeals, and every aspect of staying alive there at the moment is backbreaking work - fetching big containers of water over long distances in 35C heat, breaking up wood to try and get a fire going to cook, everything. Both families are raising money through GoFundMe." https://www.gofundme.com/f/a8jzz-help-me-and-my-family-get-out-of-the-gaza-strip https://www.gofundme.com/f/htdcj-evacuating-my-family-from-gaza *EDINBURGH LIVE SHOW ALERT* We're going to be live at Monkey Barrel comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe on August 14, and you can get tickets here:  https://www.wegottickets.com/event/621432   *MILO ALERT* Buy Milo's special ‘Voicemail' here! https://pensight.com/x/miloedwards/digital-item-5a616491-a89c-4ed2-a257-0adc30eedd6d   *STREAM ALERT* Check out our Twitch stream, which airs 9-11 pm UK time every Monday and Thursday, at the following link: https://www.twitch.tv/trashfuturepodcast *WEB DESIGN ALERT* Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

For this month's first Britainology, we've watched the season of the military-themed and emphatically strange UK reality TV show "Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins," featuring....Matt Hancock.

For this week's free one, we've Riley, Milo, and November discussing the Reform manifesto, which reads like a handful of Volk-centred social democracy policies with a lot of what you can only called overt fascism. Great to know that this will be “sensible politics” in about five years. We also read a paean to Nigel Farage's f**kability. Of course it's in the Spectator, but you are simply not prepared for it.

For this week's bonus, we're talking EU elections and weird European politics with Corner Späti's Ciarán Dold. Learn about Ursula Von Der Leyen's anti-wolf vendetta, Cypriot Mr. Beast somehow getting a parliamentary seat, the hypothetical return of François Hollande in a move they're calling Opposite Day PASOK, and Riley's conjecture about a maneuver known only as the Reverse Kennedy. It's a whole lot!

For this week's free one, we're talking about a Thiel-funded startup to invent future guns that is apparently run by a 9-year-old. We're also talking about AI Steve, the strange but 100 percent not made up story of a guy who's claiming he'll make an AI chatbot and represent its views in parliament if elected. However, we've also got an interview segment where Riley speaks with Priyanka Raval of the Bristol Cable about the parliamentary seat in Bristol Central that might flip from Labour to Green. Is there a lesson we can learn from this? Is this replicable? Does Labour hate every one of its voters? The answer to at least one of these is ‘Yes.' Priyanka's interview starts at 34:39!
