Wrong Way ft. Joanne McNeil

This is a preview of a bonus episode. Find the whole thing on our reasonably-priced patreon! Political journalist Zoë Grünewald joins us to talk about the upcoming UK General Election, and why so many candidates are opting to run on hyper-online 'culture war' issues. Zoë explains how obsessions with social media among politicians and journalists has contributed to the eroded trust in politics, how an over-reliance on Twitter disincentivised holding power to account – and how all of this has driven the disconnect between Westminster and the rest of the UK. -------- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Paris Marx returns to the show to talk about two AI conferences hosted by Google and OpenAI, and how both failed to provide any real evidence of why it’s any more than a chatbot with a voice, but also, why this doesn’t really matter to tech companies, and the government’s appeasing them. Paris talks about the consequences of AI software integrating into every public service we have, and how this will change our relationship to the internet - one where you are no longer a ‘user’, but a consumer stuck in an endless feedback loop in service to the AI. Sounds bad imho!

This is a preview of a bonus episode. Find the whole thing on our reasonably-priced patreon! To commemorate Phoebe’s final episode (before she goes on maternity leave, not forever) we take questions from you. We discuss some big questions about the internet, whether one’s decision not to post still counts and posting, and if the age of vertical video discourse will make our lived experiences more bizarre than they already are. Plus, and most important of all : what are the bizarre foreign snacks we really love and wish were available in the UK? -------- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Journalist and author Joanne Mcneil returns to the show to talk about her novel WRONG WAY, which was among the New Yorker’s best fiction of 2023. Centred around the proliferation of ‘self-driving’ taxis, the novel is an exploration of precarious work and social alienation, and the ways in which the technocratic ruling classes leverage this distancing to assert power and control, even as they prove to be inept and corrupt.  Buy a copy of WRONG WAY, here: https://www.abebooks.co.uk/9780374610661/Wrong-Way-Novel-Mcneil-Joanne-0374610665/plp -------- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Joe Kassabian, host of the Lions Led By Donkeys podcast and sci-fi author, comes back on the show to talk about Yukio Mishima, once Japans most famous novelist, who led a failed project to restore imperial glory to the country- only to be booed and commit Seppuku. Joe talks to us about what Mishima's novels, and their preoccupations with death, tells us about his eventual fate. He also tells us about how Mishima developed the Shield Society, a private army of guys who were dedicated to getting shredded, and all in love with Mishima. Of course, we also talk about Mishimas posters impulse, and why it seems to resonate so much with the terminally online right today. -------- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Listen to the full episode on Patreon for as little as $5, at www.patreon.com/10kpostspodcast. -------- Edi returns to the show to update us on posting in China, and in particular, explain why a medium-sized factory manufacturing glycine went viral on TikTok. Edi talks to us about how Chinese companies and factories use social media and how it differs from business in the Western world, how China's social media culture is even more driven by algorithmic consumerism than in the US and Europe, and how that has also shaped its unique influencer culture. Edi then explains how this might affect the US and China's ongoing conflicts about the future of the internet, and whether the proposed ban on TikTok may do little to prevent China's influence on how we all post online. ---- Read Edi's Newsletter, 'Sinobabble', here: https://www.sinobabble.com/ ---- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Journalist Sirin Kale returns to the show to talk about how and why content feeds change when a social media platform detects that you might be pregnant, and how weird, often dangerous content is targeted at new parents. Sirin shares her own experiences with navigating platforms while looking after a newborn, the comfort that it can provide new parents when other institutions are absent, and how to resist the abundance of online parenting content. -------- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.
