Ten Thousand Posts

This week, we’re joined by writer, academic and creator John Duncan to talk about the effects Large Language Models are having on academic writing and research.

John talks about the growing number of AI hallucinations that are appearing in academic papers and articles and what it reveals about the poor working and pay conditions of academics in the UK and around the world. John also talks about the dangers this poses to future research and knowledge production, which might be bad if we ever face a public health crisis again.

We also talk about the Pope’s Encyclical on the AI industry, why it’s less radical or revolutionary than has been reported, and why any notion of ‘ethical AI’ should be disregarded.

This week, we’re joined by novelist Jackie Ess to talk about her early online experiences and how it influenced her writing and craft.

Jackie talks to us about constructing semi-fictional characters on Twitter, and what happened when an academic journal took it at face value. She also talks about how her posting has changed over the years, and how much of her life online incorporates playing the piano.

We also talk about Richard Dawkins falling in love with an AI and how even the most ardent of disbeliever only wants one thing: For a woman to praise their work in progress novel.

This week, Hussein and Phoebe discover and read  Andrew Tate’s poetry from his newsletter, talk about the ongoing collapse of Redpill influencers in the Manosphere, and what might come next.

They also talk about the general slop crisis on Substack, and the challenges this poses to the company as it hopes to go public in the next few years, and whether all of this indicates that we’ve reached a point where there are now too many posts.

In this unlocked bonus episode from February, we talk about Clavicular, an incel adjacent looksmaxxer who recently broke out of online containment and into the mainstream, and ask what happens when content creators are driven by attention at all costs.

In the second half of the show, Hussein talks to documentary film maker Ben Zand about his recent film, ‘INSIDE THE GOON CAVE’ , and what his physical explorations into the depths of the manosphere taught him about the state of contemporary masculinity.

We’re joined by The Londoner’s Andrew Kersley to talk about his recent article, looking at the ways that misinformation in the form of viral content, is affecting how London, is governed. Andrew talks through his investigation into Fare Evasion on London’s public transport, and how myths of chaos and lawlessness, have been weaponised by political parties online, and  have also resulted in greater police presence in tube stations and subsequently, more arrests of young people.

This week, we’re joined by friend of the show Joe Kassabian, to talk about the new era of warslop content feeding our social media feeds.

We talk about Iran’s use of AI-generated Lego videos, and why it seems to have rattled senior figures in the White House, as well as the LEGO company itself, and we talk about why America’s own Warslop – from anime music videos to garish religious iconography – should be seen as low-effort propaganda.

PREVIEWWe also talk about Justin Bieber’s Coachella set, and why he’s living every man’s dream of monitoring the situation and showing people a bunch of Youtube videos.

This week, we’re joined by Maia Wyman – known on Youtube as Broey Deschanel – to talk about Charli XCX’s cinematic debut,  ‘The Moment’.

As we revisit BRAT summer, we discuss the pressures of contemporary celebrity, how the internet addresses and avoids confronting the demands of online fandoms, and why we’re not sure if the film is supposed to be satirical or a serious commentary.  

We also revisit an old friend who has some opinions about the moon, and we take our Subway Takes for a test run.

We’re joined by writer and journalist Sarah Jaffe, to talk about her new book , Grief and Revolution in a World on Fire.

Sarah talks about the personal events that shaped the ideas for her book, and why she believes that meaningful political change must understand and cherish death and grieving rituals. She talks about why technology companies dismiss the idea of grieving rituals, viewing them as practical problems requiring AI-based solutions, and the impacts this has on human societies and their ability to imagine better futures. We also talk about the emerging economy of gambling apps and ‘predictive markets’, in particular, the way it uses death as a phenomenon to be monetised and profited from, rather than a sacred moment that tells us what it means to be human.
