About this episode
The episode discusses the narrative that AI could solve capitalism's problems and critiques this perspective.
One reason AI is being pushed so hard is because it's the last "humanity can capitalism its way out of all its problems" narrative that has yet to be fully discredited. Reading by Tim Foley.
