The Dojo S19E15 - The Dojo S19E15 – AI, Capitalism, March & March &

In this episode, the crew returns after a break and eases in with some funny Father’s Day talk before getting into a broader conversation about modern life, money and how everyday consumers keep getting squeezed. What starts with small irritations like pricing tricks, paid extras and disappearing “freebies” turns into a bigger discussion about capitalism, exploitation, restaurant economics and how ordinary workers often end up taking the heat for decisions made far above them. From there, the episode shifts into one of its strongest debates: AI and music. The conversation digs into authenticity, whether fans really care how music is made, whether honesty about AI would matter, and how technology is already forcing the industry to rethink performance, ownership, royalties and what it even means to be an artist. As the discussion loosens up, the episode moves into more provocative territory around sex, digital mediation, desire and the strange ways technology is starting to blur reality itself. It’s a wide-ranging episode with humour, side turns, cultural commentary and sharp disagreement throughout, before closing out on a lighter note with nostalgia, performance energy and a push for listeners to support the movement.
