Co-hosts Andrew Kliman and Gabriel Donnelly speak with guest Gavin Mueller, an assistant professor of New
Media and Digital Culture at the University of Amsterdam. Mueller researches the politics of digital culture and
much of our discussion centers on the realities of artificial intelligence in our time. They consider the huge
amount of money being spent on Large Language Models, how they work, and what they can actually do as
opposed to what all the hype says that they can (or will be able to???) do.
Additionally the discussants consider how workers can fight the encroachment of this new, automated
technology into the workplace. Our discussion leans on parts of Gavin’s book Breaking Things at Work: The
Luddites Are Right About Why You Hate Your Job. They consider what Marx said about technology and
automation, and how it applies to this situation.
Plus current-events segment: the co-hosts discuss the political indictments handed down from the Trumpist
Department of Justice that have targeted personal foes of Trump-James Comey, Leticia James, and John Bolton.

RFH 127: The Pro-Truth Pledge and Building a Movement for Truth (with Tim Ward)
Author and communications expert Tim Ward joins co-hosts Andrew Kliman and Gabriel Donnelly to discuss what it means to stand up for truth in politics. The discussants considered how the Harris campaign handled the issue of post-truth politics, how Trump will continue to erode truth, and cognitive biases that help fuel the power of post-truth lies. Much of the discussion considered how a positive movement for truth, in the face of post-truth’s encroachments, would actually look like and what such a movement would prioritize. To that end, the Pro-Truth Pledge was considered.
Tim Ward is the coauthor with Gleb Tsipursky of Pro Truth: A Practical Plan for Putting Truth Back Into Politics, formerly sat on the executive board of the Pro-Truth Pledge, and blogs at Medium. The Pro-Truth Pledge can be read and signed at its website.
Plus current-events segment: the co-hosts discuss the recent protests in Georgia after the cessation of talks for the country to join the European Union.
