The Emperor’s New Episteme feat. Jay

TRASHFUTURE ·

2026/10/06

We have an opportunity to speak with Jay, a union organizer in the UK hospitality industry, about the ways in which that sector is particularly hostile to labour organizing and, unsurprisingly, owned by ghouls all the way up and down. But before that, Nate, Hussein, and November discuss Trump’s declaration about calling AI “Super Intelligence,” and the fact that he’s forced a bunch of tech CEOs to sign a half-baked manifesto about it.Jay’s union is Unite and you can learn more about it here!

Riley and Hussein are joined by Hesse Deni (substituting for Nova who will be returning on Friday) to look at the unravelling of “A.I. safety” as a largely posting based discipline.

Get the complete episode on Patreon here!It doesn’t come as a surprise that lawyers are using AI tech in legal practice, but British legal authorities and firms have gotten a bit wild: buying pallets of NVIDA GPUs to build their own data centres, submitting briefs with AI hallucinations of fake laws all the way to the point that judges have to admonish them, and running an all-AI legal service called Garfield Law. We brought on British law understander Sapheen Meran to explain this to us, and the

The Piddington Omakase feat. Nathan Akehurst

TRASHFUTURE ·

2026/09/22

Editor’s note: this is something of an unusual episode, sorry! It’s just Nate and Hussein, but we’ve brought on journalist Nathan Akehurst, the author of the forthcoming book Along the Watchtower: Dispatches from Europe’s War on Migration. However, we have to talk about the Piddington referendum, the immediate fascist piggybacking that’s happened since, and the surprise discovery that a small village in Oxfordshire has a quite highly rated omakase restaurant.Preorder Nathan’s book here!

TRASHFUTURE ·

2026/09/18

We dragooned friend of the show Tom Walker to discuss the recent Will Gluck film ONE NIGHT ONLY, which can be described as an intended meditation on life in a fascist society that somehow instead just lectures the audience about how it’s better to wait for marriage. Abstinent Times at Ridgemont High. There’s Something About Chastity. All sorts of ways to look at it, but—as the cast discovered—the best way to look at it is to watch it on a cam rip feed with endless gambling ads overlaid.Get more

Slow Midas feat. Charles Star

2026/09/15

We temporarily pivot to America because we have the opportunity to speak with Charles Star, a friend of the show and a law understander, who can give us insight into just how much the U.S. Supreme Court has retooled itself to enable total right-wing capture. However, we also have a chance to speak about Trump’s ballroom, its impossible proportions, its Sims-tier design, and Trump’s own declaration that gold is “God’s favourite metal.”Check out more from Charles on No Homework here!

2026/09/11

We believe in the marketplace of ideas. That’s why we’ve made it so that Cory Doctorow responds point by point to an article written personally to him by a16z about why his Enshittification thesis is wrong. Then, in the back half, we talk about AI and LLMs as real technologies rather than mystical, theological entities (with mystical, theological market assumptions).Get the whole episode on Patreon here!

Bloomberg’s Zeke Faux joins us to discuss stablecoins - specifically Tether and World Liberty / USD1 - which function now as the parallel financial ecosystem for dealing with states captured by right wing cliques. But first, we brainstorm a post politics career for Keir and check in on the state of toys in Hertfordshire.Get more TF episodes each week by subscribing to our Patreon here!

Also, we uncover a general principle: right wing grievance mongering projects fail because these are fundamentally lazy people. Check out more of Molly's work here!

Phoebe Gates went to How To Rule The World class at Stanford, where apparently she learned to admit to potentially criminal activity in Slack. Repeatedly.

2026/08/14

First of all: mea maxima culpa for having trusted the hated professional news media about a certain fictive elf's grave. We're endeavouring to do better. And in that spirit we've brought on Gareth Dennis, host of Railnatter on YouTube and the Trainsatlantic podcast. Somehow, Gareth has the ability to make Andy Burnham do what he tells him, and we're discussing the future of Great British Railways, plus a deeply cryptic AI-for-British-Rail pamphlet, and our theory that we can only save the UK economy

Riley speaks to Foxglove’s Donald Campbell about the campaign to prevent Palantir from working with the NHS, but before we get to that, we have to talk about… fictive elven graves.

Too much is happening at once. We've got repurposed Realdolls being pitched as AI robot teachers....or tutors, since supposedly the difference is crucial. We've got an eight-figure settlement in the case of eBay gangstalking bloggers and doing Jared Leto Joker pranks on them. We've got a wearable tech ring for being a better Evangelical Christian, but also somehow reinventing indulgences. We're grateful for Mattie Lubchansky and Josh Boerman for joining us to rejoice in it all.Check out No Gods No
