Co-hosts Andrew Kliman and Gabriel Donnelly speak with guest Gavin Mueller, an assistant professor of New

Media and Digital Culture at the University of Amsterdam. Mueller researches the politics of digital culture and

much of our discussion centers on the realities of artificial intelligence in our time. They consider the huge

amount of money being spent on Large Language Models, how they work, and what they can actually do as

opposed to what all the hype says that they can (or will be able to???) do.

Additionally the discussants consider how workers can fight the encroachment of this new, automated

technology into the workplace. Our discussion leans on parts of Gavin’s book Breaking Things at Work: The

Luddites Are Right About Why You Hate Your Job. They consider what Marx said about technology and

automation, and how it applies to this situation.

Plus current-events segment: the co-hosts discuss the political indictments handed down from the Trumpist

Department of Justice that have targeted personal foes of Trump-James Comey, Leticia James, and John Bolton.
