If you watch one in-depth interview this week, it should be this one: Jon Stewart interviewing Carole Cadwalladr, on broligarchs, “AI”, and a techno-authoritarian surveillance state.

If you don’t fight for your freedom, you can lose it—and that’s ultimately the message here.
I know, I’m embedding from YouTube—far from ideal.
