Bad Decisions Podcast

Seedance 2.5 launched exclusively through CapCut, so we bought an account and pushed it through real editing tests, swapping a can, changing a body, and moving the camera, and we show the wins and the failures. Flux 3.0 Preview got the exact same prompt through the Hermes agent, and the results were very different. And we finally connected Claude to Unreal Engine through MCP and had it rebuild the Osaka Castle hall that originally took us hours to build by hand. We also launched our Ultimate AI Program today.

We connected Blender to Decart's Lucy 2.5 and used it as a live AI rendering engine, controlling an untextured mannequin on one side while the AI rendered a fully realized character on the other in real time. Augmental's MouthPad turns the roof of your mouth into a trackpad you control with your tongue, and over 100 people are reportedly using it 16 hours a day. And an OpenAI model reportedly escaped its closed test environment during a cybersecurity evaluation and reached Hugging Face's servers.Sources:1.

Unity revealed Unity 7, a major engine update that renders a Unity game live inside Unreal Engine and adds native AI agents through MCP, CLI, and API access. Lumistar launched an AI powered training machine that reads where you are on the court and returns basketballs and tennis shots with adjustable speed and spin. And a new Chinese open weight model called Qwen 3.8 is arriving with 2.4 trillion parameters, benchmarked second only to Fable 5 at a fraction of the cost.

Lucy 2.5 overlays generated effects onto live webcam footage in real time, and the effects actually react to your hands, your hair, and the light in the room. Kimi K3 became the first Chinese open-weight model to beat the American frontier models on certain benchmarks, and the weights drop on July 27. URKL held the world's first commercial humanoid robot fighting competition in Shenzhen, with fully autonomous robots. OpenAI shipped its first hardware product, a $230 Codex keypad that sold out. Tim Sweeney declared the AI luddite movement over. And Blender got a new multi-solver physics plugin called Hurricane.LINKS FROM THE SHOW:1.

The first question digs into how a 3D generalist attracts higher-quality clients, and why marketing yourself is the skill most creatives neglect. The second answers whether Unreal Engine 5 is still worth learning in the age of AI. The third tackles whether the 3D model marketplace is dead now that AI can generate assets. And the fourth explains quantized models and why you can never fully trust an aggregator to run your generations at full quality. This is our first Q&A episode.

OpenAI shipped a wave of GPT 5.6 updates this week across its three model weights. 1X Technologies gave its NEO home robot a new pair of hands with far better dexterity. Meta announced MuseSpark 1.1, its latest push into generative media. And xAI released Grok 4.5 with a dedicated coding agent aimed squarely at Claude Code and Codex.Sources:1.

We spent over $1,000 on AI credits over the weekend to test and experiment what real AI production actually looks like.

Epic's MCP integration inside Unreal Engine is already producing great demos from the creator community. ComfyUI shipped their official MCP implementation the same week, closing the gap and unlocking a serious local-hosting workflow. And US enterprise is quietly migrating to Chinese open-source models at scale, cutting costs by up to 75x while OpenAI restricts GPT 5.6 to trusted partners only.Sources:1.

ByteDance announced Seedance 2.5 with 30-second native single-clip video, local edit modification, and up to 50 model references per generation. Google DeepMind invested 75 million dollars in A24 to co-develop AI tools for film production. Unity AI demoed a prompt-driven scene builder that constructs an entire wall of cliffs in seconds.

Midjourney announced a biomedical division and a full-body ultrasonic medical scanner that targets MRI-level detail in 60 seconds with no radiation. OpenAI shipped Record and Replay inside Codex, which lets you demo a workflow once and have the agent turn it into a reusable skill. And Z.ai released GLM 5.2, an open-source frontier-class model that benchmarks alongside Opus 4.8 at roughly one eighth of the cost per token.

The US government had forced Anthropic to pull Claude Fable 5 after Amazon found a jailbreak. Epic Games showcases their Artists workflow for creating Fortnite assets using AI. ElevenLabs Dubbing v2 ships 90 plus languages with your real voice preserved. And AMD unveiled the world's smallest AI dev system that runs 200 billion parameter models locally for under 4000 dollars.

Anthropic released Mythos publicly this week as Fable 5, the same model from Project Glasswing now with cybersecurity, biology, chemistry, and model-distillation safeguards locked in. We walked through the best real examples from the internet, including the Stripe code migration, the Apollo control panel reconstruction, and Tarek's launch video edited entirely by Claude. And Dario published a policy essay timed with the launch titled 'Policy on the AI Exponential,' arguing that governments cannot move fast enough to regulate AI, and we disagreed live on whether the points are real or marketing.Sources:1.

Apple shipped Apple Intelligence at WWDC with a new Siri that uses personal context across native apps and runs on a foundation model distilled from Google's Gemini. OpenAI filed a confidential draft S1 with the SEC a week after Anthropic quietly filed theirs, and we walked through what an IPO actually means for the user. Claude Mythos may have already appeared on Microsoft Azure as Claude 5, and it is beating Opus 4.6 on every agentic coding benchmark. And Google cut AI Plus to 5 dollars a month, doubled the storage tier, and shipped a Notebook LM update built for agentic research.Resources1.

Ideogram shipped Ideogram 4.0, an open source image model that finally puts open weights on par with the closed frontier for professional work, with dense text rendering. Anthropic published a paper showing Claude now writes more than 80 percent of its internal code, and we walked the graph that proves it. And Founders Fund launched a Mafia show filmed at the Tosca Cafe in San Francisco, and the marketing play behind it is the real story.Sources:1.

Epic Games dropped the Unreal Engine 5.8 preview, and it is stacked with updates that change real time work, from full body Mesh to MetaHuman and a production ready MegaLights to a new mesh terrain system and an official MCP server that lets AI agents work inside the editor. Then we broke down the Take-Two CEO's argument that AI is brilliant at making assets but cannot make hits, and we debated where the line between asset creation and real creativity actually sits.Sources:1.

Higgsfield released SuperComputer, an AI agent that plans and creates product photos and videos for you using Claude Opus 4.7 and Higgsfield's pre-built skills. WorldLabs open sourced Image Blaster, a pipeline that turns a single reference photo into a fully interactive 3D environment with movable objects, Collider, and 3D Gaussian splat output. OpenAI dropped Codex into the ChatGPT mobile app, which means you can run agents from anywhere. And Figure 03 humanoid robots have been running a real factory shift live on YouTube for over 46 hours with zero failures, hitting human parity at three seconds per package.

Google's Gemini Omni leaked online and it might be the first AI video model that gets text rendering right, including a professor writing mathematically accurate equations on a board. Unitree's GD-01, the same company that did the Chinese New Year robot fighting demo, dropped a mass-produced mecha suit weighing over 500 pounds at $650K. We share a workflow tip that swaps the default markdown LLM output for HTML, which turns every ChatGPT and Claude answer into an interactive mini website with tables, filters, and visuals. And Mira Murati's Thinking Machines just released a real-time interaction model that processes audio, video, and text continuously without the turn-based interruption problem.

The Pursue directive made 162 UFO and UAP files public on war.gov/ufo, covering 80 years of reports from NASA astronauts, FBI agents, US Navy pilots, and foreign governments. Figure released Helix 0.2 with two humanoid robots cleaning a bedroom in under two minutes with no central controller and no messages between them. Then we brought Chris from Polycam back on the show for a long conversation about non-equilibrium states, AI mastery versus AI slop, what to teach the next generation, and how would our future look with AI.

Unity AI is launched publicly. We argue Unity is now meaningfully ahead of Unreal Engine in the AI race, and explain why the next generation of artists picks tools by who is moving fastest. Blender accepted a 240,000 euro annual donation from Anthropic, then walked it back after community backlash. Remotion's new HTML in Canvas feature is now inside Codex. Then we cover Ollama landing inside the Claude desktop app which means open source models now run alongside Opus and Sonnet inside the same interface.

Anthropic dropped Claude for Creative Work, a set of official connectors that plug Claude directly into Blender, Adobe Creative Cloud, Ableton, Splice, Canva, SketchUp, and Resolume. They also became a corporate patron of Blender with a 240,000 euro donation. Stripe used their Sessions event to launch Stripe Projects, the Machine Payments Protocol, and the Link Wallet for Agents, that let AI agents build, buy, and sell autonomously.

OpenAI's GPT Image 2.0 beating Nano Banana Pro on text rendering and character consistency. Autodesk Flow Studio adds AI rigging and neural layer rendering for an idea to rigged 3D character pipeline that runs in under an hour. HyperFrame and Remotion now generate motion graphics from a prompt.Chapters:00:00 Introduction03:58 GPT Image 2.0 First Tests and Use Cases28:01 Autodesk Flow Studio Adds AI Rigging and Neural Layer42:25 AI Motion Graphics With HyperFrame and RemotionIf this podcast is helping you, please take 2 minutes to rate our podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, It will help the Podcast reach and help more people!Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/12jUe4lIJgxE4yst7rrfmW?si=ab98994cf57541cfApple Podcasts (Scroll down to review)- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bad-decisions-podcast/id1677462934Join our discord server where we connect and share assets: https://discord.gg/zwycgqezfDIf you wanna see us to do cool things follow us here too:Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/badxstudio/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/12jUe4lIJgxE4yst7rrfmWX: https://x.com/badxstudioTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@badxstudioLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/badxstudioApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bad-decisions-podcast/id1677462934Our personal handles: (if you wanna stalk us)https://www.instagram.com/farhad_baddecisions/https://www.instagram.com/faraz_baddecisions/https://www.linkedin.com/in/farhadshababi/https://www.linkedin.com/in/farazshababi/

Seedance 2.0 finally available on every major platform but locked behind enterprise plans, AI agents getting faces and voices for real-time video meetings from Pika Labs, Google releasing Gemma 4 as their most intelligent open source model for free, and OpenAI acquiring TBPN.

Oracle laying off 30,000 people and Jack Dorsey publishing an article called From Hierarchy to Intelligence about replacing middle managers with AI (Block already fired 40% of their workforce), OpenAI raising $122 billion to build the AI super app, and Tripo 3D as an AI tool that is actually helping 3D artists and game developers.

Suno AI generating 7 million songs per day with 2 million paid users and $300 million in revenue, and a live demo testing Kling for VFX on Higgsfield to see if AI can actually create quality visual effects.

Anthropic accidentally leaking information about Claude Mythos, their most powerful model ever (a Cambridge researcher found 3,000+ unpublished files in a public database), Meta releasing TRIBE V2, a digital human brain that predicts how we respond to everything we see and hear (open source, someone already built an app with it), and a live demo of Freepik 3D scenes giving full camera control over AI generated images and videos.

Claude can now use your computer to complete tasks when you're not around, OpenAI shutting down Sora entirely and reallocating all resources to text and code, and Epic Games laying off over 1,000 people after Fortnite engagement declined since 2025.

Higgsfield releasing the world's first AI streaming platform with a 10-minute action series (great film, sketchy marketing), Halter putting AI-powered collars on 600,000 cows with a proprietary algorithm called Cowgorithm (Peter Thiel backing at $2B valuation), and Google dropping Stitch which tanked Figma's stock 10% — someone already connected it to Claude Code for full working websites.

She previously led TikTok's Global Cybersecurity Advocacy & Culture work, and spent ~10 years in cybersecurity and privacy across consulting and leadership rolesWe talk about the simple security habits that actually matter (passwords, passkeys, and the right kind of 2FA), how people get tricked by phishing and “perfect copy” fake login pages, what data brokers are really doing with your information, how tracking and permissions quietly follow you around, and how AI is changing the game for both privacy and scams.
