Is AI a cruelty machine? In what ways do the aesthetics of fascism intersect with techno-futurism and reactionary fantasies—and how should we respond? Acid Horizon welcomes Gareth Watkins (Death Sentence Podcast, New Socialist) to discuss his article on how the far-right embraces AI—not for innovation, but for domination, aesthetics, and control. From Tommy Robinson’s fake D-Day fantasy to deepfake misogyny and the mutual aid ecosystem of right-wing tech barons, we explore how artificial intelligence has become the dark mirror of their political libidinal economy.
