Tesla has long depended on hype to survive, but as Elon Musk does mass layoffs and bets the company on bad self-driving tech, is its time running out?

This week E.W. Niedermeyer joins Paris Marx to discuss why Tesla is failing as a car company.

I had such a great time talking to Paris Marx about SHEIN on Tech Won't Save Us! Very thrilled for the opportunity to wax poetic about the environmental and aesthetic horrors of plastic clothes at length.

The United States wants the world to choose: either they accept the dominance of Silicon Valley or fall into the hands of scary Chinese tech. But that choice makes no sense.

If we want better tech, it must be rejected in favor of another model. disconnect.blog/embrace-the-sp…

Bom episódio do podcast Tech Won't Save Us sobre transumanismo e religião. Estamos discutindo algo da literatura acadêmica a respeito no temático há algumas semanas. É um problema fascinante e relativamente pouco estudado na intersecção com religião.

Transhumanism is all the rage with tech billionaires pushing mind uploading, AGI, and more. But where do those ideas come from?

This week Meghan O’Gieblyn joins Paris Marx to discuss the religious roots of transhumanist visions of the future.

Apple’s Vision Pro is a bad product with an even worse vision for the future of computation.

New sales numbers prove it’s a failure, but more than that it shows the idea of tech’s inevitability is a myth. We can stop tech that doesn’t serve us. disconnect.blog/the-vision-pro…

Tech Won’t Save Us is turning four years old — and we need your help to make a new series!

What’s the material impact of the AI hype? Do we really need all these massive data centers? Who is fighting back?

Transhumanists like to claim eugenicist Julian Huxley was the first to use the term, but he secularized ideas he took from the French priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin who drew from Dante’s Divine Comedy.

I had such a fascinating conversation with Meghan O’Gieblyn!

This is a really interesting episode (and also it's good that I'm not in charge of naming things as I would definitely call Transhumanism 'LawnmowerManism')

Just listening to this now and hard agree with David Moscrop's pull-quote up top of the episode, and this one here. Too many can't /won't analyze power. Was explaining to someone the other week & summed it up as, 'If this issue were an AITA post, the verdict would be ESH.'
