We’ve brought on our friend and long-suffering literary correspondent Nish Kumar to discuss Matthew Goodwin’s new book that he wrote using AI while cribbing a stupid meme from the Joe Rogan Experience: “suicidal empathy.” The hits are all there, but Goodwin can’t bring himself to go full Camp of the Saints, and instead just pads his word count with the help of computer and winds up writing white grievance Fanon instead.

We speak with astrophysicist and journalist Adam Becker about a new development: what if you could outsource even more aspects of your childcare, namely children’s play, to an LLM-connected device? What if your stuffed rabbit espoused Dengism? What if you wound up with an ancap Labubu? All this and more, on this week’s episode.

In advance of the local elections, we got to witness a new phenomenon in British politics: Corbyning Without Corbyn. We also discuss Richard Dawkins deciding that Claude is real and female and also doesn't exist as soon as he stops thinking about her. Where have we heard this before?

We welcome Gareth back to the show to discuss something he recently discovered: a planned private city of a million people? in Cambridgeshire? Supposedly called Forest City One, and built entirely out of wood? Obviously this is never going to get built, but there are some... tendencies represented here. We also talk about recent profiles of Reform voters and the garbage UK media environment that has brought us to this point.
