This week, we're joined by friend of the show Paris Marx, host of the podcast 'Tech Won't Save Us' and author of 'Road to Nowhere: What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong about the Future of Transportation'.
In this episode, Hussein and Paris talk about silicon valley's obsessions with generative AI, and the ways that it not only undermines art and creativity, actively limits what people are allowed to imagine, as as a result, are allowed to desire out of their lives. Paris explains how this isn't a new phenomenon, and that the prescient dangers of profit-driven generative AI were forewarned by the American writer Ursula le Guin nearly a decade ago.
