Fucking Cancelled Tech Won't Liberate Us with Paris Marx
As the tech oligarchs dream of subjecting us all to their sick fantasies and their pet governments pave the road to hell with bad intentions, the sycophantic press breathlessly praises each new ‘advancement’ in dystopian tech — and each new phony scam as well. In Episode 83 we’re joined by Paris Marx, technology critic, author and host of Tech Won’t Save Us, one of the most important podcasts of the Canadian Left. We discuss technopessimism, fully-automated luxury space communism, whether sentient AIs will ever be a thing, and what, behind all the smoke and mirrors, the evil techlords are actually trying to accomplish.
