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 129: Update on the Ukrainian Resistance to Putin’s Invasion (with Ralph Keller)
Co-hosts Andrew Kliman and Gabriel Donnelly welcome past guest and Marxist-Humanist Ralph Keller on the show to discuss the status of the Ukrainian struggle against Putin’s invasion. They discuss the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk, the rising resistance in Russian, and the imperative need for foreign aid to Ukraine’s struggle. Keller’s report has yet to be released, but keep your eyes on Marxist-Humanist Initiative’s publication, With Sober Senses, where it will be published.
They also discuss the political situation in Germany, where support for the Ukrainian war effort has become a political hot topic. The hosts and Keller consider how the far-right Alternative for Deutschland is eager to abandon the Ukrainians to Putin, and how Trump and Musk are cheering that party on.
Plus current-events segment: Michael Podhorzer’s article “How Trump ‘Won.’” Trump’s victory was not from a huge upsurge in votes, but due to a collapse in Democratic turnout. The co-hosts also discuss the issue of political disengagement and highly alienated voters
