Algorithms All the Way Down: People Die, Capital Does Not


For this interview I spoke to Ian Wright (@ianpaulwright), the author of the Dark Marxism blog which explores Marxism and the occult. Ian is also a programmer who has worked in machine learning and artificial intelligence.

During the discussion we spoke about what Marx means when he refers to capital as a “real God“, how capital is like an algorithm controlling our lives in ways we often don’t fully comprehend, and venture communism.  Ian also provides a case for why the Left should take crypto more seriously from an internationalist point of view.
