    The Plutopian Buzz

    by Plutopia News Network June 10, 2024
    written by Plutopia News Network

    In this episode of the Plutopia podcast, hosts Scoop Sweeney, Wendy Grossman, and Jon Lebkowsky have an open discussion without a guest, considering what’s buzzing at the moment. The conversation touches on various topics, including being a dilettante versus a specialist, the misuse of AI in solving policy problems, and the influence of technology on participatory medicine. They also discuss the anti-vax movement, the effects of misinformation, and the political landscape, including voter suppression and the influence of venture capital on job security. The episode concludes with reflections on the current state of democracy and the challenges posed by disinformation and authoritarianism.
