This week on my podcast, I read AI and a world without migrants, a recent essay from my Pluralistic blog, which psychoanalyzes the sociopathic fantasies that are driving the AI investment bubble. I don’t care who you are, there will always be times when hell is other people. Not because other people are horrible –... <a href="https://craphound.com/news/2026/05/31/ai-and-a-world-without-migrants/" class="more-link" title="Read AI and a world without migrants">more <i class="fa fa-chevron-right"></i></a>

This week on my podcast, I read Not Normal, my latest Locus Magazine column, about the surreal and terrible world we’ve been eased into thanks to anti-circumvention laws.
