Journalist and professional Wes Streeting Watcher Sasha Baker joins us to discuss all things Streeting, as he seems to be more and more likely to be inflicted on us as the next Prime Minister of the UK. But first, May We Meet You?

FULL EPISODE ON https://www.patreon.com/posts/i-feel-like-call-143560320 Ed Zitron returns to discuss all things AI bubble - specifically OpenAI's uncertain balance sheet, the potential government backstop of data centre construction, and the very real and material constraints (such as gas turbine production) on building god via Nvidia Blackwell chips. Also we get sidetracked and stunlocked by the new tranche of Epstein revelations at the very outset. Ed's writing can be found here: https://www.wheresyoured.at

Dr J joins us to discuss Peter Thiel's cooked eschatology, as well as the supremely attainable goals with which Elon Musk stands to make himself a trillionaire. It's all plausible and it's all real, and we of course have nothing but positive things to say about it!

Brian Merchant, of Blood in the Machine, joins us to talk about his new series, AI Took My Job. It includes stories from not just artists and translators, but tech workers, healthcare workers, and even suicide counsellors. But before that, we decide that in the bleakness of the day we could all use a moment of TF season one whimsy, and talk about a fridge with ads on it. Remember that?

The world’s most regular man takes the stand in his own defence and proceeds to… utterly waste the court’s time arguing about pronouns. Also, we talk about the ongoing collapse of civil liberties on both sides of the Atlantic, and consider what it means when the leaders of both major parties in the UK simply seem to not want their jobs very much.

A wasting disease has struck TF! The survivors, Riley and Hussein, are joined by Mattie Lubchansky who is bravely subbing in for the fallen, to discuss Trump’s state visit to the UK, the ongoing right wing cancellation march that’s spreading around the world, and then a whimsical new AI device whose main feature is that it hates you. Then, Riley talks to the Public Interest Law Centre’s Paul Heron, who is currently pursuing two Palestinian solidarity cases through the UK legal system, about how to use the law for good.

We booked this recording with June from Kill the Computer and Ill Conceived to talk about something else, and were then overtaken by events like three times. We talk about the Epstein Book, political violence, the likely Partygating of Keir Starmer… but otherwise I guess it was kind of a slow news week.
