TRASHFUTURE

For this week’s free one, we’ve got returning guest Tim Faust on to talk about Make America Healthy Again (citations needed), Diamond Joe having cancer, the intensely evil cross-partisan urge to institute Medicaid work requirements in the US, plus a visit to the developing paradise of Neom. It’s all here for the taking, folks.

Note: there is a part at the beginning of the episode that will sound like we left in an editing mistake, but we assure you……….it’s intentional.

It’s Riley, Milo, Hussein, and November, checking in with Jan Marsalek (to an extent), hearing about an orb that can tell if you’re a chatbot or not, and reviewing Janice Turner’s absolutely bananas article about ‘the lanyard class.’ Apparently we did too much corporate CYA training and now the only recourse is to do full fascism. Or something?

Dan Boeckner’s in town, so he joins us to talk about the ongoing trade chaos, the new plan by the Charter Cities Institute to make a sparkling tech enabled immigration detention centre / San Francisco competitor on a very controversial Navy Base, and finally we look at the just-released immigration white paper, where Sir Keir Starmer KC Human Rights Lawyer and Saviour of Sensible Politics comes juuuuust close enough to quoting Enoch Powell to raise an eyebrow.

Notes on the Crises’ Nathan Tankus returns to talk to Riley about 100 days of DOGE, and the catastrophic risks those broccoli haired little rascals pose the entire global financial system, in addition to the moral depravity of the whole enterprise. In the first half, Riley, Milo, and Hussein discuss yet more in the “AI will replace the human soul” file, and call a winner in the interim Starmer-Trump 2025 capitulation contest… but finals are still all to play for!

We review the recent spate of local elections that has everybody deciding retroactively that the Labour Party was always full of dangerous liars who could not be trusted to govern the country - if only someone had figured this out sooner. To start, though, we also look at the spate of religious and spiritual experiences people are attributing to AI, and Riley updates his favourite little bit of OSINT.

Luke Savage rejoins the gang to talk all about what Mark Carney’s government will actually bring Canada - the short answer is “more of the same shit that didn’t work the last four times it was tried.” Will this stop us making revolutionary jokes about Carney? Only time will tell, signs point to no. Also - we look at the rise of Hardman Labour, and read a truly horrifying exposé on Meta’s rules governing use of their chatbots.

We ring in the Carnation Revolution (more on that later), discuss the moral panic du jour in the U.K., and then cross stateside to discuss the group chat leaks of our close personal friend Mark Andreessen. Can’t believe all his courtier suck ups turned out to be snakes.

We return to U.K. shores to look at the state of national party politics in advance of local elections, and think of who would win in a capitulating contest between Starmer and Trump.

Jess O’Thomson from QueerAF joins Riley, Nova, and Hussein to discuss the details of the recent anti-Trans Supreme Court ruling. Also, domes popping up around the world of gold and steel, and an AI “entrapment as a service” company.

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. Also, the Supreme Court Judgment (in brief - more on that next week’s free episode), and Ocean Builders is back… in pod form!
