A very excellent podcast, Mike. I wish it meant something to his 'base' (an appropriate word as they are quite base). I have lived amongst those people since these stories were coming out of Viet Nam and the truth is that the sort of people who vote for people like DeSantis, Trump or Bush all think this is exactly how the world should be. They cheer torture and war crimes as justified.

Excellent work, Mike! This reporting is very important

Such Crucial and Brilliant Journalism done professionally and with clear evidence based on real principles unlike mainstream media which will never reveal the truth found here. Thank you.

This guy's THE DEVIL. That's why the swamp likes him.

So this Confederate leaning sadist is considered a likely candidate for POTUS. Where is the press? This information must get out to the public.

Welcome to TrueAnon Presents: The Lamest Show on Earth, a three-part mini series on the phenomenon that is Tesla Motors and the carnival barker at the center of its show: Elon Musk. We’ve often said that Jeffrey Epstein offers us a lens through which to view larger networks of power and influence and ways to ascertain how they operate and impact the world. The story of Tesla Motors offers us the same opportunity: how a nerdy dot-com gold chaser hacked the self-satisfied neoliberal green political regime and orchestrated a cacophonous symphony of thirsty social media marketeers, auto industry executives, captured and bought off media, and the bull market ride of the century. At the center of all of this is the pied piper of the redditmen, our very own epic bacon PT Barnum — Elon Musk — who rightly understands that branding really is everything and that so long as you can keep the music going the party doesn’t have to end. Now that Tesla has a gun to the head of the American economy, there’s only one question left: how long can the show go on? 

In Pt 1 we begin with the bizarre history of Elon’s family, the origin story of Tesla Motors and the weird wild birthplace of both modern conservatism and progressive neoliberalism, California. Featuring: chiropractors, Ronald Reagan, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, divorced guys, Italian nuclear physicists, tightrope performers, bearded ladies and The Coca-Cola Company.

In Pt 2 we track Elon’s movements over Silicon Valley from his self-proclaimed acceptance into Stanford University to his odd obsession with the letter “x”, to his coup at Tesla Motors and his attempt to hold it all together in the face of both personal and global bankruptcy. Featuring: Peter Thiel, malaria, Lance Bass, John McCain, the Mars Society, and remember the show Desperate Housewives?

Ron DeSantis's Military Secrets: Torture & War Crimes

This week we talk a wide range of topics, mostly centered on what's going on in states like Tennessee: mass shootings, anti-trans bills, centralization of power in state governments, etc. To do it, we've enlisted our Tennessean friend Mina Shedd from Middle Tennessee DSA. To wrap it all up, we cover an op-ed from the New York Times about "Wagon Wheel Gun Reform"

Episode 286: Feuerbach, Texas (w/ special guest Mina Shedd)

"Is artificial intelligence advancing too quickly?" 60 Minutes warns. "BuzzFeed CEO says AI may revolutionize media, fears possible 'dystopian' path," CBS News tells us. "TV and film writers are fighting to save their jobs from AI. They won't be the last," CNN reports.

Over and over, especially in recent months, we hear this line: AI is advancing so fast, growing so sophisticated, and becoming so transformative as to completely reshape the entire economy to say nothing of our shaky media landscape. In some cases, those in the press deem this a good thing; in others, a bad thing but in terms that get the problem all wrong. But virtually all media buy the basic line that something big and transformative isn’t just coming, but is in fact already here.

Obviously, we can't predict the future, but we can comment on the present. Yes, AI platforms can generate low-level marketing copy, pro forma emails, and shitty corporate art. But progress in these capacities does not, as such, portend a radical advancement into actual human intelligence and creativity.

Meanwhile, there’s little to no evidence to support the claim that AI, namely large language models like ChatGPT, actually can perform – or even intervene to save time performing – any type of high-level writing craft, journalism, fiction, screenwriting, and a host of “creative” production.

So why do we keep hearing otherwise? What purpose does this type of religious-like providential thinking serve? And who stands to benefit from the vague sense of a future of AI-written essays, articles, and scripts, no matter how terrible they may be?

In this episode, we explore media's current Inevitability Narrative, namely its credulous warning that ChatGPT is about to do the work of media and entertainment professionals, examining the ways in which this narrative, despite the evidence to the contrary, serves as a constant, implicit threat to workers and a convenient pretext for labor abuses like wage reduction, layoffs, and union-busting. We also review how this media hype works to obscure the very real, banal harms of AI, such as racism, surveillance, over policing and lack of accountability for the powerful.

Our guest is Rutgers professor Dr. Lauren M.E. Goodlad.

After last week’s Cameron discussion we decided it was finally time to induct this film into the official Chapo Canon: it’s been a long time coming but here’s the AVATAR episode. Join us as we examine the most anti-imperialist blockbuster of the 21st century, argue that its subversiveness is precisely why this massive hit “made no cultural impact,” and explain how Avatar teaches us to shed our baby selves as we confront America’s role as the 9/11 do-er.
