348. Lost Futures of AI (ft. Evgeny Morozov)
🕑 Added 2024-06-19 01:20:48 +0000 UTCWe are joined once again by Evgeny Morozov to discuss his new podcast series, A Sense of Rebellion, which tells the story of a wild bunch of eccentric hippies who had grand ideas for how to design interactive technologies and intelligent environments and cybernetic systems that are radically different from today’s smart tech and AI. Morozov takes us deep down the rabbit hole of Cold War counterculture and technoculture, and deep into the life and mind of Warren Brodey, a now largely forgotten giant of early cybernetics. This new podcast series is the second in a trilogy on “tech rebels who failed.”
[Note: since this episode is so long and packed, it's also doubles as the premium for this week. Give us a break!]

There was talk in here of an article talking about "tech as a thermostat", but google has been utterly useless in finding that. Any chance y'all have a link or a title I can track down?
