We’ve got Blood Work’s Greg Foley on to discuss the… happenings, involving another permutation of a guy named Thomas, and some guys in masks, and the British criminal justice system, and also another recent happening in a farm field in Gloucestershire, and also an article about the post-chud ambiance for misfit internet right-wingers in Budapest. It’s a lot!

The Brian Goodman article we read from is available here!

It doesn’t come as a surprise that lawyers are using AI tech in legal practice, but British legal authorities and firms have gotten a bit wild: buying pallets of NVIDA GPUs to build their own data centres, submitting briefs with AI hallucinations of fake laws all the way to the point that judges have to admonish them, and running an all-AI legal service called Garfield Law.  We brought on British law understander Sapheen Meran to explain this to us, and the fact that all lawyers apparently still love the show “Suits.”

Sapheen is the other half of Second Homes along with Nate, and you can check out our debut album “Find a Way to Hate It” here! (It’s also available on streaming everywhere!)

We dragooned friend of the show Tom Walker to discuss the recent Will Gluck film ONE NIGHT ONLY, which can be described as an intended meditation on life in a fascist society that somehow instead just lectures the audience about how it’s better to wait for marriage. Abstinent Times at Ridgemont High. There’s Something About Chastity. All sorts of ways to look at it, but—as the cast discovered—the best way to look at it is to watch it on a cam rip feed with endless gambling ads overlaid.

We believe in the marketplace of ideas. That’s why we’ve made it so that Cory Doctorow responds point by point to an article written personally to him by a16z about why his Enshittification thesis is wrong. Then, in the back half, we talk about AI and LLMs as real technologies rather than mystical, theological entities (with mystical, theological market assumptions).

We get into a land of contrasts today - the far right grows in street power as Reform is suddenly exposed for the grifters and charlatans they have always been. Also, two very serious policy men have a conversation about party funding with one million hidden cameras.

Trashfuture are: Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and November (@postoctobrist)

For this week's bonus episode, Riley, Hussein, Nate, and November convene to discuss a number of topics: abject Burnhamism for one, a luxury block of flats in London making its very unsympathetic tenants live in what can only be called Scolding WeWork for another, and the story of a failed restauranteur family in Reading becoming part of your phone's firmware if you live in the UK?

IT'S A BANDCAMP FRIDAY which means that if you buy music from anyone on Bandcamp today, the platform doesn't charge any fees! Among the many artists out there that you can support, there is Nate's band Second Homes, whose debut album is available for purchase!

Molly is back again, this time to talk about the right's war on Wikipedia—we show how Grokipedia was actually born of grievances fomented in two reports baselessly alleging liberal bias at Wikipedia, and died because Elon got distracted. Also, we uncover a general principle: right wing grievance mongering projects fail because these are fundamentally lazy people.

Phoebe Gates went to How To Rule The World class at Stanford, where apparently she learned to admit to potentially criminal activity in Slack. Repeatedly. Also, the network school moves countries, a FarmVille with perma-death, and Mark Zuckerberg has a go at manifesto writing.

First of all: mea maxima culpa for having trusted the hated professional news media about a certain fictive elf's grave. We're endeavouring to do better. And in that spirit we've brought on Gareth Dennis, host of Railnatter on YouTube and the Trainsatlantic podcast. Somehow, Gareth has the ability to make Andy Burnham do what he tells him, and we're discussing the future of Great British Railways, plus a deeply cryptic AI-for-British-Rail pamphlet, and our theory that we can only save the UK economy by building Ultra-Manchester (which includes a Mound).

We've brought on friend of the show and writer Ben Fogel to talk about the hard-right turn in Latin America, and the list of freaks is a mighty one: the gradient scale of Bolsonaro failsons, the Peruvian dictator's daughter, the fast food restaurant family crime syndicate, and many more. November is still recovering from an illness but thankfully we have Mattie in detention onsite.

We invited friend of the show David Z. Morris, author of “Stealing the Future: Sam Bankman-Fried, Elite Fraud, and the Cult of Techno-Utopia,” to discuss his book and some recent developments in even dumber AI. But the truth is, most of this episode is about a tactical chud bespoke suit company called Brimble and Clark. No matter how dumb you think it’s going to be, you’re not even close.

Dan Davies, friend of the show and author of The Unaccountability Machine: Why Big Systems Make Terrible Decisions—and How the World Lost Its Mind, joins us to discuss Burnhamism.

We’ve brought on our friend and long-suffering literary correspondent Nish Kumar to discuss Matthew Goodwin’s new book that he wrote using AI while cribbing a stupid meme from the Joe Rogan Experience: “suicidal empathy.” The hits are all there, but Goodwin can’t bring himself to go full Camp of the Saints, and instead just pads his word count with the help of computer and winds up writing white grievance Fanon instead.
