We talk about these and other works along with Stefan's own work which treats machine listening as a prepared instrument, ready to be detourned. | |||

| ## Mark Andrejevic | |||
| [Mark's](https://research.monash.edu/en/persons/mark-andrejevic) recent book [Automated Media](https://www.routledge.com/Automated-Media/Andrejevic/p/book/9780367196837) considers the politics of automation through the "cascading logics" of pre-emption, operationalism, and "framelessness". We talk through some of these ideas, along with the limits of "surveillance capitalism" as an analytic frame, "touchlessness" in the time of Covid, "operational listening", what automation is doing to subjectivity... and how all this relates to reality TV. | |||

| Thomas is CEO of [Paranoid Inc](https://paranoid.com/#paranoid), a company which makes devices that block smart speakers from listening. The company's mandate "earn lots of money by increasing privacy, not eroding it" imagines an emerging privacy industry, as data mining and surveillance continues to become the dominant business model in silicon valley and elsewhere. | |||
