Ten Thousand Posts

This week, we’re joined by writer and curator Matt Muir, to talk about various online ephemera haunting our screens. We spend a lot longer than anticipated talking about ‘Fruitslop’ and the genre of regurgitated AI videos where horny fruits keep cheating on each other, mostly with a banana that has a six-pack. We then talk about the challenges, and creative possibilities outside of the platform economy, and whether there are acceptable use cases for AI tools when conducting creative experiments on the internet.

Hussein and Jake briefly talk about their time at York University, and the unwarranted self-importance that comes with student journalism. We then talk about the proliferation of chaotic British people on social media and why they are so compelling, and explore the reasons why so many British comedians are now expected to make tiktoks and front-facing videos to explain why Britain is the way it is.

This week, Hussein and Phoebe catch up on their lives, and wonder whether it’s possible to do this show without mentioning the ongoing horrors. They run through some rare fun posts, talk about various home cleaning strategies and ask what happened to Marie Kondo. They also talk about the ongoing exodus of influencers from Dubai, and what this tells us about the future of the Gulf, its soft power strategy, and speculate on the future of Influencing online. ------- PALESTINE AID LINKS -You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below. https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict -Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine https://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity -Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla https://www.waterislifegaza.org/ -Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=1102739514947848 -Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-thamra-cultivating-resilience-in-gaza -------- PHOEBE ALERT Okay, now that we have your attention; check out her Substack Here!

We also visit the UK and talk about the results of the Gorton & Denton by-election, and ask: did Matt Goodwin lose because he spent too much time on his phone?

Researcher and journalist Adam Smith joins us this week to talk about what happens when AI boosters hype up their own speculation. We talk about Moltbook, a project that purported to be a “social network for AI agents” and claimed to prove that the sentience and consciousness of AI was inevitable. Adam explains the tricks AI boosters used to present their bots as smarter than they actually were, and why Moltbook should be considered more as theatre, than a glimpse into the future of communication.

This week, Hussein chats to London Centric editor Jim Waterson about his recent story about a real estate contractor making money on the side through racist and Islamophobic rage bait on TikTok. Jim talks about how his team tracked the contractor down using a comprehensive knowledge of British Bins, how his content fits into the broader milieu of fake immigration stories online, that are having a deep impact on British society and its politics, and why it feels near impossible to stop.

This week, we’re joined again by actor, director, and screenwriter Jonathan Daniel Brown to talk about Hollywood’s AI infatuation, and how it’s producing cheaper, and worse, films. Jonathan talks to us about how the AI industry entered Hollywood, the pressures it has placed on creators by forcing out technical expertise, and how it’s driving film production out of Hollywood, and even out of the United States entirely. We also talk about the recent cache of Epstein files, and, among all the darkness and evil, the revelation that Epstein and his acolytes seemed to also be obsessed with posting online.

This is an unlocked bonus episode. You can find it, and many others like it, on our patreon! Friend of the show Oobah Butler returns to talk about his latest documentary, How to Make a Million in 90 days. Live from New York, Oobah tells us about the murky financial world he stumbled upon while making the documentary, filled with bored fintech CEOs and finance guys devoid of any real ideas, and desperate to make as much money as they can through exploiting attention and hype. We also talk about why this project may have been Oobah’s funniest, but also most depressing – and what happens when a documentarian has to confront a group of people who refuse to engage with reality, while using their wealth to manipulate the world around them.

This week, we’re joined by political journalist Zoë Grünewald, who talks to us about the attempts to regulate and rein in X in the UK, and whether the state has the ability to regulate an AI system like Grok.

Of course, we also touch on the most important story facing the world right now, namely, the implosion of the Beckham family, and ask whether they could be put back together through the power of Cruz Beckham’s electro-indie musical project.

Jacob returns to the show this week to talk about his new book, GILDED RAGE: Elon Musk and the Radicalisation of Silicon Valley. Jacob explains how the post-2008 economic environment allowed the tech industry to amass an enormous amount of wealth and political power, using access to cheap credit and government contracts to embed themselves into democratic institutions. He then explains how the ascendance of culture wars, addictions to posting online and deep seeded resentment led to the formation of a violent, reactionary politics that now dominates much of the Western world, and could threaten the very concept of democracy.

This week, we take a slight break from discussing the horrors of the internet to talk about their Autumn grievances, including the shut down of local parks in order to host fireworks displays for the pleasure of influencers. We also talk about Remembrance Sunday, as Hussein tries to convince Phoebe that the poppies have become bigger and brighter, and what It might suggest about the nation’s inability to truly reflect and mourn over its past. ------- PALESTINE AID LINKS -You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below. https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict -Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine https://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity -Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla https://www.waterislifegaza.org/ -Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=1102739514947848 -Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-thamra-cultivating-resilience-in-gaza -------- PHOEBE ALERT Okay, now that we have your attention; check out her Substack Here!

Live from New York, Oobah tells us about the murky financial world he stumbled upon while making the documentary, filled with bored fintech CEOs and finance guys devoid of any real ideas, and desperate to make as much money as they can through exploiting attention and hype. We also talk about why this project may have been Oobah’s funniest, but also most depressing – and what happens when a documentarian has to confront a group of people who refuse to engage with reality, while using their wealth to manipulate the world around them.

This week, we talk about what the decaying internet means for regular people – especially those who rely on janky, corporate owned hosting platforms to maintain archives of their work, or cherished old memories. Alexis and Helen outline the scale of the problem, and explain why, despite its urgency, few tech companies are interested in the work of preserving and conserving our data. We then talk about the work of volunteer and non-profit organisations, including the Accessible Archivists Coalition, working to preserve older versions of the internet, and discuss some of the strategies you can employ at home to extract your online history, and the tools you can use to preserve it for the future.

Tom talks about the way violence and suffering has been exploited by the Trump administration to advance its own political aims, while also creating endless spectacles and distractions for his supporters.

This week, we're joined by the novelist Hanna Thomas Uose to talk about her debut work Who Wants To Live Forever , published by Brazen/Hatchette. Hanna and Hussein talk about the central theme of the novel – the desire to extend one's life, and ones time being alive – and how it reflects contemporary anxieties on ageing, the melancholy of elder millennials, and the idea of being 'useful' under capitalism. Hanna also talks about how this differs from tech billionaire's obsessions with extending their own lives, what it tells us about their own desires for power and control, and what the future might look like if Silicon Valley decided to commodify both space and time itself.

She tells us about the hobby, what the LARP community looks like, and how it accommodates newbies and veterans. She tells us about the virtue of meeting your online friends in real life, and how these kinds of communities can provide a comforting, protective space, in part because of how it is deliberately removed from the social relations that mediate our online lives. But first, Phoebe has a wonderful new Goo to tell us about.
