Did You Have to Give Up the Em Dash Too? | AI, Authorship & the Human Premium (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI can write the paper, make the song, generate the video, build the business plan, and now another AI can apparently tell us whether AI did it in the first place. Cool. Seems healthy. Inspired by a Hard Fork conversation about Pangram and the increasingly weird world of AI detection, Chibbi, Rooster, and Paul start with a simple question: when does using AI as a tool become letting AI do the work for you? That quickly turns into a much bigger conversation about education, creativity, labor, aut
MAGA, Mamdani & Marvel are Trending. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everything’s a trend until it becomes your actual life. Paul is back on the pod, which means naturally we’re asking the important questions: Is MAGA finally losing steam? Are democratic socialists actually building something? Did we completely blow our chance to stop climate change? And after years of superhero fatigue, is Marvel somehow… back?

Read excerpt
Rosey from The Jetsons may finally be coming—but this version has cameras, cloud access, a monthly subscription and possibly a remote human behind the controls. Poet and community organizer Mandy Lynn returns to the studio as Chibbi and Rooster ask whether they would allow an AI-powered humanoid robot into their homes in exchange for freedom from cooking, cleaning and laundry. The conversation quickly moves from robot maids to surveillance, hacked baby monitors, hidden workers, dangerous jobs, h
People are Broke. Now What? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Democratic socialism is having a moment, but is America actually moving left, or are people simply desperate for an economy that works? This week, Chibbi and Rooster are joined by Mandy Lynn for a sprawling conversation about capitalism, democratic socialism, political branding, affordability, and whether any of these ideas can survive outside deep-blue cities. They break down what democratic socialism actually means, why Bernie Sanders helped drag the word “socialism” back into mainstream polit
