    Empire of AI

    Their words

    Um All right, so this is a little bit obvious, but but but Empire of AI um uh by Karen Hao. Um just because it's it it's just such an incredible combination of just on the ground globe-trotting investigative reporting making the material inputs and human inputs of AI visible, but then it has this big idea thesis around empire building, um which I think is really true.

    Here Where We Live Is Our Country

    Their words

    Um I guess we've been talking around this, but um my my friend Molly Crabapple has an absolutely brilliant book coming out uh called Here Where We Live Is Our Country, the story of the Jewish um Bund, and it's available for pre-order, comes out in April, and I think it gets at what an alternative story of hearness could be, of really committing to here, which is what the Jewish Labor Bund was was doing before between the wars.

    Fire Alarm

    Their words

    And the third book is a book called Fire Alarm, Reading Walter Benjamin's On the Concept of History by Michael Löwy. Um and Walter Benjamin is the is this is the text that he wrote um right before he took his own life fleeing the Gestapo in 1940. Um and it gets at this idea of the way history doesn't repeat, but compounds in Benjamin's term, [music] piling wreckage upon wreckage. Naomi Klein, thank you very much. Thank you so much, Ezra.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
