The AI Bubble Is A Money Furnace

Cory Doctorow — author, journalist, activist, and the man who put "enshittification" in the Oxford English Dictionary — joins Tim, Rich, and Luke to explain why every platform you use got worse, and why the AI bubble might be the most expensive mistake in human history. Cory breaks down the three-stage playbook platforms use to squeeze users and creators, what TikTok's secret "heating tool" reveals about who really controls your feed, and how a 1998 law made it a felony to fix the apps that screw you. Then we get into AI: the circular accounting propping up a trillion-dollar spend on a $50 billion industry, why the "magnificent seven" are 35% of the S&P 500 while six of them lose money, and what happens to the rest of us when the bubble bursts. Plus: centaurs vs. reverse centaurs, the right-to-repair fight, and why Cory thinks the crash — handled right — could actually leave us better off. Cory's new book, The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI, is out now, and Enshittification hits paperback September 1. Find his daily newsletter at Pluralistic.net.

The Daily Blast: Trump Secret Plane Swap Suddenly Looks Darker as Damning New Leaks Hit

By now you’ve heard that when Donald Trump left the NATO summit in Turkey last month, he was clandestinely transferred from Air Force One to an alternative plane to avert a credible Iranian threat. It appears many of his cabinet members were left on Air Force One. Now new leaks make the story look darker: It turns out Trump brought several of the aides who are personally closest to him on the safe alternative flight. This, even as he left numerous journalists on the original plane, which effectively turned them into a decoy that might have been targeted. None were informed of the operation. It all perfectly captures Trump’s contempt for the media, so we talked to Margaret Sullivan, author of the excellent press-critiquing Substack “American Crisis.” She explains why this saga is so irregular, why the media faces a moment of uncommon challenges, and why journalists often won’t directly confront authoritarianism, even when it gravely threatens their own institution.

The Daily Blast: Trump Blurts Out Vile Plot to Steal Midterms as GOPers Grow Unnerved

While interviewing Donald Trump, a MAGA media personality urged Trump to consider declaring a national emergency to seize control of our elecctions. Trump’s response was ugly. “Let me just say that stranger things have happened,” Trump said. “I’ll leave it at that.” In other words, Trump wants it understood that declaring a national emergency absolutely is being considered. This comes as Politico reports that Republicans are privately bracing to face Trump’s “wrath,” now that the Senate has gone on recess without passing the voter suppression legislation he wants. Republicans fear he’ll erupt at them anew over this in coming days. In short, Trump is intensifying his search for ways to rig the midterms or steal them outright. So we talked to Professor Rick Hasen, the author of the excellent Election Law Blog. He explains what’s wrong with Trump’s “national emergency” threat, how it signals genuine intent to delegitimize our elections, what election-theft options Trump has that really should worry us, and what ordinary voters can do—right now—to prepare for the worst.

Welcome Back

A vast new conspiracy movement has gripped America. That weird story we were looking into last time - about Hillary Clinton and a cabal of satanic paedophiles – that’s morphed into something bigger and perhaps more consequential. Join us as we go through the looking glass, into a world where nothing is as it seems, where the storming of the Capitol on January 6 2021 was a piece of theatre, the institutions of the state are a façade and behind the scenes, hidden hands are believed to be pulling the strings. Listen to new episodes first on BBC Sounds from Tuesday 10 September 2024. Producer: Lucy Proctor

Thrown Overboard: How Trump Treats the People Who Serve Him

Full crew, no guests this week. We break down the crisis aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln — the longest carrier deployment in American history, sailors jumping overboard, and Trump's response that they "haven't been gone long enough." Then it's the rest of the flailing: floating the annexation of the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to bomb Oman, and demanding aircraft carriers be redesigned to look like they did in WWII. Plus the Turkey decoy plane fiasco that may have pushed Karoline Leavitt out the door, MAGA voters still finding out at the deportation office, and Mamdani's New York quietly racking up wins. We close on some actual good news: the DNC's new primary calendar puts South Carolina first — and we game out what that means for Newsom, Harris, and a certain Georgia senator who swears he's not running.

Siliconsciousness: The Scary Geopolitics of AI

Are we being too laissez-faire in our approach to artificial intelligence? Rarely has there been a technology so profoundly important, yet so concentrated in the hands of a few private citizens. "National security experts Ivo Daalder and Graham Allison join David Rothkopf to explore the terrifying implications of hands-off policymaking, and why—as with nuclear weapons—we probably shouldn’t leave private companies in charge of such explosive technology."
