Content Creation, AI, and Marx

Episode Preview:Back when I was studying sociology at UP, Marx and Nietzsche helped me make sense of the world. Now, years later, knee-deep in digital marketing and staring down the rise of AI, I find myself returning to Marx—especially his ideas on labor and value. In this episode, I connect those old theories to a very current crisis: how generative AI erases the human effort behind content creation. I talk about the theft of labor, the destruction of livelihoods, and what it really means when content is stripped of creators. This isn’t just about marketing. It’s about what we lose when we forget the people behind the knowledge we consume.
