This summer’s Technoprogressive Worldbuilding course has begun, and we’ve met twice. You are welcome to join. We are meeting 2pm EST on Wednesdays. The assignment this week is to bring an example of technological harms or algorithmic injustice to discuss. Contact matteo@ieet.org to join.
Join us in London in September to chart a global technoprogressive policy agenda. Jointly hosted by the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies and the London Futurists. Free to attend.

AI-driven automation of cognitive labour is not merely another technological transition but a structural discontinuity that will end, sooner or later, the central role of wages in how society operates. This discontinuity can be called “The End of Postwar Capitalism”. That’s the conclusion of a tightly argued set of essays, “The Discontinuity Thesis”, written by our guest in this episode, Ben Luong.
