Join us for Litcrawl’s ‘The Waymo That Ate San Francisco’

Indie media journalists take on the AI Bubble and Big Tech with hilarious, thought-provoking, and award-winning pieces.

-

Sat/25, 5pm-6pm, at Teeth Bar, SF, as part of Litquake’s epic annual FREE Litcrawl:

Join feisty journalists from local independent media publications 48 Hills, Mission Local, El Tecolote, COYOTE, KQED, and Broke-Ass Stuart as we read hilarious, thought-provoking, and award-winning pieces about the state of the city in the Age of the Big Tech Oligarchs.

From the rise of techno-fascism and the scam of AI to the absurdity of everyday encounters with automated ridiculousness, indie media has its very human fingers on the awkwardly robotic pulse of San Francisco. None of our outlets are owned by billionaires, so we can say whatever what we want!

Featuring Marke B. (48 Hills), Joe Eskenazi (Mission Local) Nastia Voynovskaya (KQED), Dr. Bunny McFadden (Broke-Ass Stuart), Emma Silvers (COYOTE), Nuala Bishari (COYOTE), Erika Carlos (El Tecolote). More info here!

48 Hills welcomes comments in the form of letters to the editor, which you can submit here. We also invite you to join the conversation on our FacebookTwitter, and Instagram
