ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
The boom in AI datacentres is part of an anti-everything endgame strategy for capitalists who want to permanently win capital’s war against labour and complete, once and for all, the enclosure of the commons and the privatization of all stores of value, down to the last bytes of information. Roger and Erica join Jay to discuss the widespread, grassroots, and bipartisan surge in opposition to these enormous datacentre infrastructure projects. We also talk about the Pope’s encyclical, the psychospiritual ramifications of AI, and the Protestant work ethic versus Catholic social teaching versus whatever the fuck is going on with the new breed of neofascist techlords.
