We start with a long chat about Dune 2 \u2013 to avoid spoilers, or if you just don\u2019t want to hear about Dune, skip to this timestamp: 34:43. We then get into the FTC / DOJ\u2019s case against the rent maximizing algorithms being used by landlords to collude on price and drive up rents. It\u2019s a real delight seeing antitrust enforcers knock back these obviously problematic technologies and deny the corporations\u2019 totally idiotic legal defense of them.\n\n\u2022\u2022\u2022 Price fixing by algorithm is still price fixing https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/blog/2024/03/price-fixing-algorithm-still-price-fixing \n\nSubscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills \n\nHosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).
