Send us Fan MailWe sit down with Greg from Hayner Distilling to trace a 150-year Ohio whiskey legacy from 1866 through Prohibition to a modern revival built on blending, transparency, and great barrels. We also dig into what makes a memorable tasting-room experience and why limited releases and community events can pull people off the shelf and into the story. • Hayner Distilling history from 1866 to Prohibition to a 2020 relaunch • Rebuilding the brand by reverse-engineering a 1904 bottle sample • Why Hayner uses Bardstown Bourbon Company for contract distilling • Blending philosophy vs single barrels, chasing complexity over “smooth” • Rye and bourbon combinations that win blind tastings • Barrel proof experience with fill-your-own bottles from the barrel • Expansion plans for a larger 1910s to 1920s themed space • Troy, Ohio stops to pair with a distillery trip • Craft whiskey marketing realities, crowded shelves, and earning the second bottle • Event talk: Bourbon and Cigars at Mother Stewart's plus an exclusive Hayner bottle www.scotchybourbonboys.com for all things Scotchy Bourbon Boys. And then also we're on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, X make sure, and then also Apple iHeart and Spotify, whether you listen to us or you watch us, make sure that you leave us good feedback. Become a member on YouTube or even on Facebook. But either way, also if you're on Apple, please leave us a good review. Five-star reviews are great, they get us better algorithm and searches. And then remember, good bourbon equals good times and good friends. Make sure you drink responsibly, don't drink and drive, and be like us. Live your life uncut and unfiltered. And AI is going to take us out. A forgotten Ohio whiskey giant is back and it's not pretending the old world never changed. We're joined by Greg from Hayner Distilling in Troy, Ohio to unpack how a brand founded in 1866 became the largest distiller in the state, shut down with Prohibition, and then re-emerged in 2020 with a very modern playbook: transparency, barrel selection, and serious whiskey blending.We get into the nuts and bolts of the revival, including how Hayner took a 1904 bottle sample to Bardstown Bourbon Company to help reverse-engineer an original-style mash bill, then built today's lineup while their own barrels come of age. If you care about craft whiskey, sourced bourbon done right, MGP rye, and what separates a smart blend from a random mix, you'll love the way Greg talks about complexity, mouthfeel, and why blends often beat single barrels in blind tastings.Then we shift from liquid to experience. We talk distillery visits, Hayner's barrel proof “fill-your-own” setup, and the big expansion into a larger 1910s to 1920s themed tasting space with a whiskey thieving room and a dedicated history area. We also preview the Bourbon and Cigars event at Mother Stewart's and the exclusive Hayner bottle tied to it, plus why limited releases and community-driven events still matter in a crowded bourbon market.If you're into Ohio bourbon, American whiskey history, and the future of blending culture, hit play.

In Episode 73, Salma Aboukarr joins the show. A creative director and founder, she explains how she moved from painstaking CGI workflows in Blender and 3Ds Max to AI-native campaigns for brands including Coca-Cola, Panasonic, and Google Labs. She breaks down her viral IKEA exploding-room video that helped brands see the commercial potential of generative AI video, the detailed JSON prompting method behind it, and the modern AI creative stack she uses across Claude, Midjourney, Nano Banana, Seedance, FAL.ai, Z-Image Turbo, Qwen, style LoRAs, and custom AI agents.The conversation goes deep on AI advertising, product fidelity, photorealistic skin, color correction, video upscaling, automated client workflows, and why high-end AI work still depends on original concepts, trained taste, and obsessive finishing. They debate whether AI can truly be original, why technical teams struggle to manufacture taste, how creators survive a feed flooded with AI content, and why the next creative moat may come from the experiences, references, and strange little details nobody else can copy.---⏱️ Fast Hour00:00 Meet Salma Aboukarr02:17 From CGI agency to AI-first studio04:44 Product fidelity before AI got good07:34 The duct-taped road to photorealism11:10 Art direction beyond basic prompting14:28 Salma's current AI creative stack16:08 How she stress-tests every new model20:20 Why color correction still matters22:25 The IKEA video that changed everything27:13 Going viral and handling AI backlash30:38 Originality as the next creative moat33:05 Can AI actually be original?38:52 Inside an AI-native creative agency39:55 Z-Image Turbo and aesthetic base models43:06 From client brief to automated pipeline47:54 Style LoRAs for brand consistency49:11 Claude, MCP, FAL, and leaving ComfyUI51:07 The model that cut a day to 15 minutes55:13 Why AI content stopped feeling special01:00:57 The value trapped in AI archives01:02:06 Create for yourself or the audience?01:04:31 Can engineers manufacture taste?01:08:38 Finding inspiration outside the feed01:11:57 Jackie Chan and thumbnail fuel01:15:29 Final lessons from a creative trailblazer#AICreative #AIAdvertising #GenerativeAI #AIVideo #CreativeDirection #Midjourney #ClaudeAI #NanoBanana #SeedanceAI #AIWorkflow #AIAgency #AIContentCreation #BrandMarketing #CreativeTechnology #ProductPhotography #AIBranding #FutureOfAdvertising #FastHours

Houdiniは難しいけど面白い！☝️

La chute des faux influenceurs 100% IA Par Régis BAUDOUIN Elle est jeune, elle a les cheveux roses, elle partage ses séances de fitness à Barcelone et pose pour des marques de cosmétiques ou de gaming. Son nom ? Aitana López. Ses abonnés ? Plus de 390 000 sur Instagram. Le problème ? Elle n'existe pas. En ce début d’été 2026, le monde du marketing d'influence traverse une crise d'authenticité sans précédent. Des dizaines de marques mondiales (dans la mode, la beauté ou la tech) inondent nos flux de vidéos de “faux clients” et faux influenceurs ultra-réalistes générés par IA pour vendre leurs produits, souvent sans aucune mention légale. faux influenceurs C’est le phénomène des Fake out of home FOOH, des faux avis de consommateurs et des influenceurs totalement fakes pilotés en fait par des marques ou des agences qui travaillent pour des marques. Mais la résistance s’organise. Lassés d’être trompés, les internautes traquent désormais les moindres pixels pour faire tomber les masques. Qu’est-ce que le Fake Out of Home (FOOH) ? Traditionnellement, le Out of Home (OOH) désigne la publicité physique dans la rue : les panneaux d’affichage, les abribus, ou les écrans géants de Times Square. Le Fake OOH, c’est l’art de créer une publicité extérieure qui n’existe pas dans le monde réel, mais qui est mise en scène dans une vidéo ultra-réaliste partagée sur les réseaux sociaux. L’objectif est de faire croire aux internautes qu’un événement spectaculaire s’est produit en plein cœur d’une grande ville. Exemples marquants qui ont lancé la tendance : Jacquemus : La marque de mode a fait le buzz mondial avec une vidéo montrant d’immenses sacs à main géants montés sur roues, roulant au milieu des voitures dans les rues de Paris. jacquemus Maybelline : Une vidéo virale montrait une rame de métro londonienne ou un bus à impériale passer sous un mascara géant fixé à un monument, appliquant du produit sur les cils du véhicule. maybeline L’Oréal : Un rouge à lèvres géant attaché à une Citroën 2CV traçant une ligne rouge géante sur le bitume de la place de l’Opéra à Paris. l’oreal La technique derrière l’illusion : La CGI plutôt que l’IA Contrairement aux idées reçues, le FOOH n’est pas le produit d’une intelligence artificielle générative textuelle (comme Midjourney). C’est un travail d’orfèvre qui repose sur la CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) et les effets spéciaux 3D traditionnels, combinés à de la captation réelle. Le processus se déroule en trois étapes : La captation réelle : Un opérateur filme un lieu ultra-connu (la Tour Eiffel, Big Ben, une station de métro) avec un simple smartphone pour donner un aspect “amateur” et authentique à la vidéo. Le Camera Tracking (Suivi de mouvement) : Un logiciel (comme Blender, After Effects ou Maya) analyse les mouvements de la caméra pour recréer l’espace en 3D. L’incrustation 3D : L’objet publicitaire virtuel est intégré. Le secret de l’illusion réside dans le traitement de la lumière, des ombres portées sur le sol et des reflets sur les bâtiments réels. Pourquoi les marques adorent Le FOOH a brisé les règles du marketing pour une raison simple : le rapport coût / impact est imbattable. Zéro coût d’infrastructure : Louer un panneau géant à Times Square ou recouvrir la façade d’un immeuble parisien coûte des centaines de milliers d’euros en taxes, autorisations municipales et frais d’installation. Une vidéo FOOH ne coûte que le salaire du graphiste 3D. Le reach organique mondial : Une bâche publicitaire physique n’est vue que par les passants de la rue. Une vidéo FOOH bien calibrée génère des millions de partages sur TikTok et Instagram en quelques heures. Aucune contrainte physique : La gravité, la météo ou la sécurité n’existent plus. On peut faire flotter un flacon de parfum géant au-dessus de la Seine sans demander l’avis de la préfecture. Le piège de la désinformation publicitaire Le FOOH repose sur un mensonge consenti. Au début, les internautes s’extasiaient en pensant que l’événement était réel. Aujourd’hui, une partie du public se sent trompée en découvrant que tout est faux. Cela pose plusieurs questions éthiques et pratiques : La déception du consommateur : Des touristes se sont rendus sur des lieux précis à Paris ou Londres pour voir l’installation publicitaire “géniale” vue sur TikTok, pour n’y trouver qu’un trottoir vide. La dilution du vrai : À force de voir du faux ultra-réaliste partout, le public développe un scepticisme généralisé. Quand une marque réalise une vraie performance physique et coûteuse dans la rue, les internautes la balayent d’un revers de main en disant : “C’est de la 3D”. Le flou juridique : Est-ce de la publicité mensongère ? Les marques ont-elles le droit d’utiliser l’image de monuments historiques ou de l’espace public pour y incruster virtuellement leurs produits à des fins commerciales sans payer de droits à la municipalité ? Le débat juridique s’intensifie. Pourquoi les marques adorent l’IA Pour les directeurs marketing, l’argument économique est devenu imparable. Selon les données publiées par le Blog IA sur le marché des influenceurs, le secteur des avatars virtuels pèse désormais plusieurs milliards de dollars. Des icônes pionnières comme Aitana López génèrent jusqu’à 10 000 € par mois sans jamais quitter un disque dur. Les avantages pour une entreprise ? Un influenceur virtuel ne vieillit pas, ne prend pas de vacances, ne demande pas d’augmentation et surtout, il ne risque pas de créer un bad buzz à 2 heures du matin sur les réseaux sociaux. La dérive de 2026 : Le faux “User Generated Content” (UGC) La nouveauté de cet été, dénoncée par les experts en cybersécurité de Reality Defender, ce ne sont plus les top-models virtuels parfaits et évidents. Ce sont les “faux clients ordinaires”. Les marques utilisent des outils comme Captions.ai ou Glambase pour générer la vidéo d’une jeune mariée en larmes ou d’un étudiant dans sa chambre vantant les mérites d’une application ou d’un produit. L’illusion de la recommandation sincère est totale, alors que le visage et le témoignage sont 100% synthétiques. fake profils IA ou Humain ? On va voir si on peut faire la différence entre un vrai profil et du fake. Cas N°1 : La Fit-Girl aux cheveux roses Le profil présenté : Une créatrice de contenu de 26 ans, passionnée de fitness, de jeux vidéo, affichant un style de vie audacieux et californien. Le piège visuel à observer : Regardez fixement la texture de sa peau sur ses photos de plage. Malgré la sueur apparente, aucun pore n’est visible, la lumière sur ses cheveux roses est mathématiquement parfaite et les reflets dans ses yeux ne bougent jamais de manière asymétrique. Le verdict : IA (Faux) ! Il s’agit d’Aitana López, un modèle espagnol entièrement géré par l’agence The Clueless, comme le détaille sa fiche encyclopédique sur Wikipédia – Aitana López. Elle est le pur produit d’un algorithme de génération d’images. fake profil Cas N°2 : Le vulgarisateur Tech décalé Le profil présenté : Un podcasteur et vidéaste français spécialisé dans l’intelligence artificielle, qui publie des vidéos où il fait croire à son équipe que son collègue de bureau est une IA ou qu’il possède une sœur jumelle virtuelle. Le piège visuel à observer : Les expressions faciales sont fluides, les imperfections cutanées sont réelles, les micro-mouvements des mains et les hésitations de langage sont typiquement humaines. Le verdict : Humain (Vrai) ! C’est la créatrice Estherium (Diane Benhamou), une véritable influenceuse tech française comptant plus de 580 000 abonnés. Elle utilise l’IA comme sujet d’étude et outil de divertissement, mais elle est bel et bien réelle. vrai profil Cas N°3 : Le mannequin Streetwear de Tokyo Le profil présenté : Une influenceuse mode repérée au premier rang des défilés de luxe à Tokyo, arborant des coupes de cheveux ultra-précises et des looks pointus. Le piège visuel à observer : Inspectez les arrière-plans des photos. Les passants dans la rue ont parfois des visages légèrement flous ou des membres disproportionnés. L’intégration de ses pieds sur le sol manque parfois d’ombres portées naturelles. Le verdict : IA (Faux) ! C’est Imma (@imma.gram), un mannequin virtuel créé par l’agence japonaise ModelingCafe. Son visage est entièrement modélisé en 3D puis incrusté sur des corps de vrais modèles et dans de vrais décors urbains. fake Les 3 détails techniques pour repérer un faux influenceur Pour vous aider dans l’hygiène des avatars, voici les anomalies physiques indétectables pour l’œil distrait, mais flagrantes pour un observateur averti : Le syndrome des lobes d’oreilles et des bijoux asymétriques : Les IA ont un mal fou avec la symétrie. Regardez les boucles d’oreilles d’un profil suspect : elles ont rarement la même forme ou la même attache à gauche et à droite. De même, les lunettes de soleil ont souvent une branche légèrement plus haute ou un verre à la courbure imparfaite. L'arrière-plan liquide : C'est le maillon faible des générateurs de vidéos. Si l’influenceur virtuel bouge la tête, observez le décor juste derrière ses cheveux. Vous verrez le fond (un mur, un arbre, une voiture) se déformer ou “baver” légèrement pendant une fraction de seconde, car l’algorithme peine à recalculer les pixels cachés. Les mains et les dents : Même en 2026, générer des mains réalistes en plein mouvement reste complexe. Les doigts des humains virtuels sont souvent trop longs, les articulations manquantes ou les ongles étrangement fusionnés. Côté sourire, les dents sont souvent trop nombreuses, parfaitement alignées comme un bloc de faïence unique, sans espace interdentaire naturel. L’avis des consommateurs sur les influenceurs générés par IA est en train de passer d’un sentiment de fascination technologique à une profonde crise de méfiance. C’est un sujet d’analyse comportementale passionnant pour XY Mag, car il touche directement au cœur de ce qui fait l’essence des réseaux sociaux : l’authenticité. Voici comment se divisent les réactions et les attentes des consommateurs aujourd’hui : Que pense le public des influenceur IA Pour une partie du public le plus jeune, la frontière entre le réel et le virtuel est poreuse. Le point positif : Ces consommateurs perçoivent les avatars IA (comme Lil Miquela ou Aitana López) comme des personnages d’un nouveau genre, à la croisée du jeu vidéo, de la pop culture et de l’art numérique. Ils apprécient l’esthétique parfaite, la créativité des visuels et le storytelling scénarisé comme une série Netflix. Le contrat implicite : Tant que l’avatar est ouvertement virtuel (ce qui est le cas des pionniers du secteur), le consommateur ne se sent pas trompé. Il suit le profil pour l’inspiration mode ou artistique, de la même manière qu’il suivrait un personnage de manga ou de film d’animation. Il sait bien qu’il est manipulé mais le divertissement l’emporte sur la marque. Le sentiment de trahison et le “syndrome de la vallée dérangeante” Pour la majorité des consommateurs, l’apparition des faux profils de consommateurs provoque un rejet viscéral. Le malaise de l’Uncanny Valley : Visuellement, plus l’IA approche de la perfection humaine, plus elle déclenche une sensation de malaise (la fameuse vallée dérangeante). Un infime détail (un regard fixe, un mouvement de lèvre un peu trop lisse) suffit à provoquer le dégoût ou la méfiance chez l’internaute. L’arnaque à la sincérité : Le principe de base d’un influenceur est de recommander un produit parce qu’il l’a “testé, touché ou ressenti”. Or, les consommateurs rejettent massivement l’idée qu’un tas de pixels puisse vanter la texture d’une crème hydratante, l’autonomie d’un smartphone ou le goût d’un café. L’avis est perçu comme 100 % faux et purement commercial. La colère face aux “faux humains dissimulés” C'est le point de friction majeur. Les consommateurs tolèrent les mannequins virtuels cyberpunk, mais ils détestent les faux profils ordinaires. Lorsque des marques créent de faux comptes de “madame tout le monde” (une mère de famille qui donne des conseils de cuisine, un étudiant qui teste des vêtements abordables) en utilisant l’IA sans le mentionner, les consommateurs hurlent au scandale. Découvrir que le témoignage touchant ou le conseil bienveillant d’un internaute a été rédigé et modélisé par une agence marketing est vécu comme une manipulation psychologique. En fait en droit c’est une tromperie. Ce que réclament les internautes Les attentes des consommateurs tiennent aujourd’hui en un seul mot : TRANSPARENCE. Ce que le consommateur accepteCe que le consommateur rejetteLes avatars clairement affichés comme virtuels (ex: @imma.gram).Les faux profils qui tentent de se faire passer pour de vrais humains.La créativité visuelle et les collaborations artistiques/futuristes.Les conseils santé, bien-être ou cosmétiques basés sur de faux tests.La labellisation obligatoire (les badges “Généré par l’IA”).Le flou artistique et les mentions cachées en tout petit dans la bio. Vers une obligation de transparence La fête est finie pour les clones clandestins. Face à la gronde des utilisateurs et des associations de consommateurs, les plateformes commencent à sévir. Aux États-Unis, la Federal Trade Commission (FTC) prépare des sanctions sévères contre les marques utilisant de faux témoignages clients synthétiques. En Europe, l’entrée en vigueur des volets stricts de l’AI Act oblige désormais la labellisation claire du contenu généré par ordinateur. La transparence n’est plus seulement une valeur éthique, elle devient la condition sine qua non pour que le marketing d’influence ne s’effondre pas sous le poids de ses propres mensonges. The post La chute des faux influenceurs 100% IA first appeared on XY Magazine.

Claude Sonnet 5 just launched and Fable 5 is returning. But OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol is still locked down and the government's grip on the most powerful AI models throws it all into chaos.. We dig into what Sonnet 5 can actually do, why GPT-5.6 Sol is still gated, and the breaking news that Fable 5 is expected back, plus a huge creative MCP festival with the Blender to Seedance workflow. This week on AI For Humans, Gavin Purcell and Kevin Pereira open on a strange new reality: the best AI models keep launching and then getting locked up, but this week the gate started to crack. Anthropic just shipped Claude Sonnet 5, its most agentic Sonnet yet, landing near Opus 4.8 performance at a much lower price, Meanwhile OpenAI announced GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna, but at the US government's request the flagship is only available to a small list of vetted partners.  Then the story moved while we were recording: the government cleared Anthropic to restore Mythos 5 to critical-infrastructure organizations, and Fable 5 is now reported to be on track to return for general use (timing and terms still unconfirmed). We recorded two quick in-episode updates to keep pace with the news as it broke.  AND Meta's Brain2Qwerty mind-reading research, NanoBanana 2 Lite, and a full creative MCP festival built around the Blender to Seedance video workflow, ComfyUI's MCP integration, and Gavin's own microdrama experiment.

Anthropic just accused Alibaba of the largest known corporate espionage campaign against it, alleging 25,000 fake accounts and 28.8 million queries aimed at stealing Claude. We get into the AI cold war heating up between the US and China, why Apple and Microsoft just raised prices, OpenAI's first chip Jalapeno, the wild new Seed Audio 1.0 model, Claude landing in Slack, and a Blender plus Seedance video workflow that gives you real control. This week on AI For Humans, Gavin Purcell and Kevin Pereira open on a genuine spy-novel turn: Anthropic has accused Chinese tech giant Alibaba of running an industrial-scale distillation campaign to siphon Claude's capabilities, laid out in a letter to US senators. It is an accusation, not a proven finding, and Alibaba has not responded, but it puts the US-China AI race front and center. From there we get into why the new models everyone expected this week didn't actually arrive, the AI memory crunch driving Apple and Microsoft price hikes, and OpenAI designing its first chip, Jalapeno, with Broadcom. On the fun side, Seed Audio 1.0 generates full songs and layered soundscapes, Claude shows up inside Slack via Claude TAG, TheWrap experiments with AI microdramas, and we break down a Blender pre-viz plus Seedance 2.0 workflow that makes AI video remarkably controllable.

Midjourney spent years helping people generate impossible images. Then it used that image money to build a machine designed to look inside the human body.In Episode 71, Drew Brucker and Rory Flynn, two men with zero medical degrees and a medically concerning level of confidence, unpack Midjourney Medical and David Holz's surprise hardware reveal. At the center is the Midjourney Scanner, a water-based, full-body Ultrasonic CT prototype designed to capture detailed 3D body maps in roughly 60 seconds.They break down how the scanner uses sound waves, water, and serious computing power; why Midjourney plans to introduce it through a San Francisco spa; and how a bootstrapped company with no investors can make a bet this strange. They also separate the scanner's current body-composition ambitions from the much bigger MRI-level future Midjourney hopes to pursue through research, testing, and FDA approval.Then the episode gets even less normal.Claude Fable 5 appears, dramatically accelerates Rory's coding, Blender, and MCP workflows, and disappears days later following a US government directive. Naturally, this sends the hosts directly into Conspiracy Corner with no adult supervision.Along the way, Drew and Rory explore how brand adoption of AI has changed, why some of the most advanced commercial AI work stays hidden behind NDAs, how companies can reward employees for useful AI innovation, and why first-time reaction content remains one of the internet's strongest viral formats.Is Midjourney's full-body scanner a medical breakthrough, an ambitious wellness experiment, or the first clue to a much larger hardware roadmap? The hosts attempt to answer that question while also discussing the World Cup, the Knicks, government intervention, possible AI futures, and several topics their wives wisely avoid asking them about.---⏱️ Fast Hour00:00 Knicks, World Cup, and viral tourism10:14 Sports, culture, and AI gatherings13:06 Midjourney reveals secret hardware15:49 David Holz explains the bigger mission18:27 The 60-second full-body medical scanner20:18 How bootstrapping made this possible23:26 Water, spas, and medical skepticism28:56 The scanner demo and nine-person team40:30 Midjourney's bigger secret roadmap48:11 How brand AI adoption has changed58:57 Claude Fable 5 appears, then vanishes1:00:41 Inside the Fable 5 conspiracy corner1:04:48 Why Fable 5 felt revolutionary1:13:58 The AI race and 12 possible futures1:18:22 Four years of Midjourney and the outro

An inaugural limited-release bourbon from Jim Beam that highlights a sweeter, confectionary profile compared to traditional Knob Creek offerings. It features a 10-year age statement, is bottled at 106 proof (53% ABV).Developed by eighth-generation master distiller Freddie Noe and team, this limited release dials back the traditional dry, nutty, and heavily charred notes of standard Knob Creek in favor of a sweeter, richer drinking experience.Knob Creek Blender's Edition No. 1 is widely considered one of the best value-driven bourbons on the market. Compared to other Knob Creek expressions, it hits a very competitive sweet spot. Cheers!

Recorded live from Contact in the Desert 2026, we welcome filmmaker, researcher, and former MUFON Canada national director Luigi Vendittelli for an in-depth conversation about one of the most iconic and controversial stories in ufology.Luigi takes us behind the scenes of his groundbreaking documentary S4: The Bob Lazar Story (2026), detailing the years he spent collaborating directly with Bob Lazar. Together, they meticulously reconstructed the secretive S-4 facility at Papoose Lake—complete with its hidden hangars inside the mountain—and the legendary “Sport Model” craft, using cutting-edge digital tools like Unreal Engine 5 and Blender for forensic accuracy. From the technical challenges of bringing Lazar's descriptions to vivid, to newly uncovered evidence (including a rare 1942 map confirming the site's location), Luigi shares what it was like to verify and visualize details that have fueled decades of debate. We explore the reverse-engineering claims, the physics-defying propulsion systems, the personal toll on Lazar, and why this reconstruction feels more real than ever. Whether you're a longtime skeptic, a dedicated believer, or somewhere in between, this episode dives deep into the painstaking effort to honor and illuminate one of ufology's most enduring narratives.

In this episode of And Now For Something Completely Machinima, hosts Phil Rice, Damien Valentine, and Tracy Harwood dive deep into “Wracu”, a stunning student film by Chase McGill.Created in Blender as a final project at University of Southern California, this cinematic short blends epic fantasy, motion capture, and orchestral scoring into a powerful (and divisive!) storytelling experience.But is it just visually impressive… or truly great storytelling?

Stewart Alsop sat down with Michael Shackelford to discuss their experiences building applications through vibe coding—the practice of using AI to create software without traditional programming expertise. Stewart, who runs the AI Whispers community in Buenos Aires and hosts the Crazy Wisdom podcast (with over 660 interviews), shared how he went from teaching people prompt engineering to building his own video conferencing software as a Riverside.fm replacement, while Michael opened up about his year-long journey creating Genrupt Inc, an AI-powered content generation tool for e-commerce sellers. The conversation covered everything from the decline in quality of Claude's reasoning capabilities and how Chinese companies used distillation attacks to copy Anthropic's models, to the importance of spaced repetition systems for managing knowledge in the age of LLMs, with both sharing battle-tested prompting strategies like asking AI to "explain it to me in genius terms" and using deep research queries to reverse engineer how competitors build their products.Show Notes:- Dan Martell's book "Buy Back Your Time" was mentioned as one of the best business books for thinking about life and business- Check out John Vervaeke's "Awakening from the Meaning Crisis" for understanding relevance realization and why AI fundamentally cannot determine what's relevant to humans without being toldTimestamps00:00 Michael discusses being exhausted from getting his app ready for launch, working nonstop with AI to prepare landing page for podcast traffic driving beta signups05:00 Stewart explains starting AI Whispers in Buenos Aires after leaving OpenAI vendor company, meeting early adopters like Torin who was building mind-reading EEG technology10:00 Discussion of how corporations resist AI adoption due to political games and job security fears while some companies use AI as excuse for pandemic-era layoffs15:00 Stewart describes teaching workshops on using LLMs as linguistic tools rather than coding tools, noting technical people often lack humanities background needed for prompting20:00 Explaining chatbot wrappers, API calls, and how Anthropic's reasoning quality declined after Chinese distillation attacks copied their secret sauce developed with philosophers25:00 Technical discussion of model training, fine-tuning versus RAG for new information, and different approaches to updating AI knowledge beyond initial training30:00 Stewart describes building podcast recording software to replace expensive Riverside, struggling with syncing audio and video files across different computer clocks35:00 Discussion of critical factors in vibe coding, discovering unknown technical requirements, and how AIs don't automatically reveal missing information40:00 Stewart's reverse engineering process using deep research function to study competitors' hiring and technology stacks, separating planning agents from coding agents45:00 Prompting techniques including "explain like I know everything" and using spaced repetition systems to capture valuable prompts and technical knowledge50:00 Michael explains his Generux app for generating ecommerce content using Amazon review data analysis to inform high-converting listing images and videos55:00 Discussion of founder mentality involving self-delusion about project timelines, Michael working nine-plus hours daily for nine months on app development60:00 Comparing Amazon's expert software to prosumer software approach, discussing distribution challenges and future robotics applications for customized products65:00 Stewart demonstrates spaced repetition app for memory improvement and knowledge retention, explaining relevance realization problem that AI agents cannot solve without embodimentKey Insights1. Stewart Alsop started AI Whisperers in Buenos Aires after leaving his role at Invisible Technologies, which was OpenAI's largest vendor for RLHF work. He noticed that machine learning engineers at tech companies lacked the humanities background needed to properly interact with large language models, which are fundamentally linguistic tools. This led him to create weekly workshops teaching non-technical people how to use AI effectively, running events every Thursday for two years straight. The group attracted intense geeks from the start and eventually led to Stewart speaking right after Vitalik Buterin at DevConnect, marking a significant milestone for the community.2. Large corporations are resistant to AI adoption due to multiple factors including political dynamics within organizations and employees fearing job loss. Many companies that grew during the pandemic are now using AI as an excuse to downsize when the real issue is inefficiency from rapid expansion. Stewart observed that even technical people in machine learning often don't understand how to properly use AI tools because they lack linguistic and humanities training. The fundamental problem is educational, requiring companies to train people how to use these new tools while those same people resist learning them.3. Vibe coding has evolved significantly with Claude Code being a game changer that reduced the technical barrier to entry. Before Claude Code, developers needed substantial technical knowledge to work through constant doom loops and debugging cycles. The success of coding AI tools stems from thirty years of testing infrastructure that provides clear yes or no feedback on whether code works. This infrastructure doesn't exist in the same way for manufacturing, science, and other fields, which is why software became the dominant area for AI assistance initially.4. Claude's quality degradation over recent months resulted from multiple factors including distillation attacks by Chinese companies who reverse engineered Anthropic's reasoning capabilities. Anthropic had hired philosophers, sociologists, and psychologists to develop exceptional reasoning in Claude 4.5, but this was expensive to run. When Chinese models like Kimi copied these capabilities at one tenth the cost, and when mainstream users flooded the platform before Anthropic's planned IPO, the company had to reduce quality to manage computational costs. This represents a significant loss for power users who relied on Claude's superior reasoning abilities.5. Stewart built a podcast recording application to replace Riverside because he needed API access to automate workflows, which Riverside wanted one thousand dollars monthly to provide. The technical challenge involves syncing audio and video from local recordings on multiple computers with different clocks through a server, then merging them so voices match lip movements. This problem requires understanding complex timing issues across different network conditions and file formats. Stewart has been working through AI psychosis for months on this FFMPEG pipeline problem, illustrating how vibe coding still requires building intuition about technical problems even without traditional coding knowledge.6. The transition from expert software to prosumer software represents a major opportunity for AI-enabled tools. Expert software like Photoshop, Blender, and terminal interfaces have extreme complexity that intimidates beginners, but AI is making these capabilities accessible through natural language. The reign of specialists is ending as generalists with broad knowledge and curiosity can now build complete applications by leveraging AI to fill technical gaps. This shift particularly benefits entrepreneurs and founders who specialize in getting into difficult situations and figuring them out, even when they originally thought tasks would be easier than they turned out to be.7. Building applications with AI requires accepting massive time investments beyond initial estimates and developing strategies for overcoming knowledge gaps. Michael estimated his ecommerce content generation app would take months but spent nearly a year working over nine hours daily, while Stewart spent months solving audio-video sync issues. Success requires using tools like deep research to understand how competitors solve problems, maintaining separate planning and coding agents, and learning to ask the right questions. The key insight is that vibe coders can achieve ninety percent of functionality independently, but the final ten percent often requires understanding specific technical concepts that AI cannot intuit without proper context and domain knowledge.

Have you been feeling more frustrated, emotionally drained, or confused, even though nothing is technically "wrong"? That feeling isn't a sign you're failing. It might actually be a sign you're growing. So many high-achieving leaders hit a point where things that used to energize them start to feel flat. Small things suddenly bother them. They go quiet in conversations, pulled inward by a desire they haven't let themselves admit. And instead of recognizing these as signs of outgrowing the life they've built, they wonder what's wrong with them. In this episode, Blake shares what growth actually looks and feels like before the clarity arrives, and why the discomfort you're experiencing may not be dysfunction at all.   Episode Highlights   Why Growth Rarely Starts With Clarity  [01:02] – The emotional signs you've outgrown your current way of living or leading  [02:45] – Why frustration, confusion & emotional sensitivity are so often misunderstood  [04:10] – "You pay the full price emotionally on your unused potential"   Why High Achievers Get Stuck in Loops  [06:30] – You can't see the label from inside the bottle  [08:15] – Why going to friends & family often keeps you more stuck  [10:00] – When to stop spinning and seek outside perspective   The Blender at the Bottom of the Ocean  [12:20] – Why forcing clarity creates more confusion  [14:05] – How to let the sediment settle so you can actually see  [15:30] – The difference between discomfort and unnecessary suffering   Whispers, Knocks & Bangs  [17:10] – Why misalignment gets louder the longer you ignore it  [19:00] – Susan's story: 20 years of pushing through before the house came down  [21:15] – How to start hearing the signals earlier and move through them with more ease Powerful Quotes "One of the most misunderstood parts of growth is that it rarely starts with clarity. It usually starts with frustration." –Blake Schofield "You pay the full price emotionally on your unused potential." –Randy Massengale "The longer you push through in misalignment, the worse it gets. It starts as a whisper, then a knock, then a bang, and then the whole house comes down." –Blake Schofield "There is a discomfort in growth, but there doesn't need to be suffering." –Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned Let's explore what's possible for your team: If your company is investing in burnout, wellness or adaptability initiatives, but seeing rising burnout, disengagement, or retention risk, it may be time to address the root cause.   We identify & diagnose organizational risk - surfacing the key drivers of burnout, leadership capacity and adaptability strains impacting your team; reduce leadership attrition, disengagement and preventable turnover; equip your leaders with the skills to increase their productivity & lead effectively during pressure and uncertainty.    Explore Workshops, Leadership Capacity Risk Assessments, Leadership Development or Consulting at https://impactwithease.com/corporate-training-consulting/   Executive Coaching:  For founders, executives, and senior leaders who are successful but feeling drained, stagnant, or uncertain about their next step.

Peter and Eden kick off with a leisurely check-in — outdoor Godzilla screenings, Eden's miniature laundry room diorama with a 1/12-scale mahjong set, Peter's Amon Amarth/Dethklok concert recap, and new releases from Periphery and LE SSERAFIM. Then, with an assist from ChatGPT's Codex, Peter has assembled roughly 45 of the internet's most-agreed-upon worst album covers for a tier list ranking — S being the most catastrophically bad. The resulting hour-ish is essentially an appreciation of outsider art, deeply cursed Photoshop, and the specific chaos that was '90s rap cover design. Key revelation: the Rednecks, who made Sex and Violins, are Swedish, and that is the Cotton Eye Joe.SHOW NOTESOutdoor Movie Night Gone Right: Eden's projector plan collapsed due to daylight, so they wheeled the TV outside and screened the 1998 Godzilla with Matthew Broderick — which Eden argues holds up better than its reputation suggests. Friend L contributed an observation about American Godzilla's gender presentation that Peter and Eden both find compelling.Daikon 3 & 4 / Studio Gainax Origin Story: Eden showed friends the legendary fan animations made for the early-'80s Daikon convention circuit — blatant copyright-violating anime crossovers that nonetheless launched the careers of the people who would go on to found Gainax (Neon Genesis Evangelion) and later Trigger (Delicious in Dungeon, Season 2).Roombox 3 Progress: Eden's current miniature diorama project is a laundry room featuring a vending machine, an arcade cabinet, and a complete 1/112-scale Chinese mahjong set (all 144 tiles). Models are being dressed in fabric soft clothing rather than left as bare plastic.LE SSERAFIM New Album: Eden's favorite K-pop act has a new record out. The second track samples La Macarena, which prompted a mild generational crisis at the comic shop when the younger staff noted it predates them.Dungeon Crawler Carl / Discworld Detour: Peter is finishing Book 8 of Dungeon Crawler Carl (narrated by Jeff Hayes, whose per-character voice work Peter genuinely enjoys despite usually disliking that approach) and has resolved to go into Terry Pratchett's Discworld next as a pressure valve from heavy genre fiction.Amon Amarth / Dethklok Concert: Peter drove to Salt Lake for the Amon Amarth/Dethklok tour. Amon Amarth was a highlight — Johan Hegg commanding a full audience Viking rowing session — while Dethklok left Peter cold; the Metalocalypse spectacle on screen keeps the audience at arm's length from the music. Castle Rat opened and was a solid short set.Forza Horizon 6: Peter is ~15 hours in on the Japan-set new installment and finding it an ideal low-commitment diversion. Fits easily into 20-minute sessions or longer stretches.Periphery — A Pale White Dot: New album from the djent-adjacent prog-metal band. Peter's read: fewer peaks but also fewer low points than usual — more consistent, somewhat more middling. Flagged as interesting rather than essential.Bad Album Art Tier List: The main event. Peter used Codex to compile ~45 covers from various internet "worst of" lists into a tier list app, with S = truly worst. Notable rankings: The Faith Tones' Jesus Use Me nearly got its own tier above S; Rednex' Sex and Violins landed S upon discovering the band is Swedish and responsible for the definitive Cotton Eye Joe; Iron Maiden's Dance of Death — described as looking like "Baby's first Blender" — is an A despite being one of their best 21st-century albums; Badfinger's Ass (donkey with headphones, hand holding a carrot) closed the list as a deserved S.Creed Sidebar: Human Clay cover triggers a genuine conversation about Creed's arc — good debut, one-and-a-half good albums, then nothing.

What happens when the business you planned is not the business you actually build?In this episode, I talk with Brandon McCraney, owner of Old Raleigh Distillery, about leaving corporate life, chasing whiskey, and opening a distillery during COVID.Brandon shares how Old Raleigh started as a blending vision, how a change in North Carolina law turned him into a bar owner, and what it was like opening before he could even sell his own whiskey.We also get into whiskey blending, one-off batches, cask finishes, and why building a bourbon brand takes more than a good product.If you've ever had to pivot because reality wrecked your original plan, this one is worth listening to.Sometimes the business you survive is the business you were supposed to build.

Send us Fan MailWhat are you actually wired to do? Betsy Wills, co-founder of YouScience and author of Your Hidden Genius, joins Daniel Rock and Jason Adair to disrupt the traditional follow your dreams model of career counseling. In this episode, Wills breaks down why self-reported personality tests fall short, how unused biological aptitudes drive adult burnout and how educators can use performance-based data to uncover the unique treasure chest of talent in every single student. Key TakeawaysDefining Aptitudes: Why aptitudes are objective, performance-based, unchanging biological traits rather than learned achievements or temporary interests. The Braided Rope Framework: Balancing personality, exposure-based interests and innate abilities to navigate a changing workforce. The Anatomy of Burnout: Why professional unrest is often caused by an unused aptitude and how avocations can restore career fulfillment. The "Slow Drip" vs. "Blender" Mind: Understanding how traits like idea rate dictate whether you belong in a courtroom, a creative studio or an operating room. The Danger of Mirror Tests: Why self-reported surveys like Myers-Briggs create a boomerang effect that fails to offer rigorous career direction. Democratizing Guidance: Shifting career exploration away from an expensive luxury to a standard tool accessible to all high school students. Resources MentionedYour Hidden Genius: Your Hidden Genius: Leverage Your Natural Talents to Discover Your Career Pathway by Betsy Wills. YouScience Platform: Learn more at YouScience.com.

Send us Fan MailWe hand Watershed the keys and let Ryan Venrick run our first distillery-led blind tasting, and we learn fast that we're not as good at guessing as we think. The reveals turn into a real lesson on slow water reduction, finishing choices, and how Watershed is reshaping Ohio bourbon from the barrel up. • Ryan's career path from bottling line to blending and barrel management • Why Watershed's bourbon portfolio changed after the mash bill shift • Blind tasting format and why pairing samples exposes process differences • Apple brandy finish side-by-side with crash dilution vs slow reduction • How slow water reduction affects mouthfeel, perceived proof, and flavor • Bottled-in-bond vs toasted bourbon and what “toasted” is meant to add • Uncut Unfiltered Batch 7 reveal and why proof placement matters in tastings • Nochino finished bourbon and the labor of harvesting unripe walnuts • The elevage program and why only a small number of distilleries do it • Watershed closing the restaurant and building new on-site experiences • What's coming next: OHLQ single barrels, fall finishes, maple finale, Japan tease • Blending philosophy: start with a base then shape with “one trick pony” barrels www dot scotchyburbonboys.com for all things scotchy bourbon boys make sure you check us out we've got glenn's we've got t-shirts we've got bourbon balls and then make sure you follow us on facebook instagram youtube and axon along with apple iheart and spotify and anywhere else you listen or watch us no matter what make sure you leave good feedback become a member definitely support us in any way that you can and support the brands that we bring on like when you see these brands support them support ohio support whoever it is but because support them because good bourbon equals good friends and good times don't drink and drive drink responsibly and live your life uncut and unfiltered Crash dilute or slow reduce, can you actually taste the difference? We bring on Ryan from Watershed and hand him full control of a five-pour blind tasting built to show where Watershed has been and where their bourbon is headed. The curveball: two glasses are the exact same apple brandy finished whiskey at the exact same proof, but diluted two different ways. Once you hear what's happening in those barrels, you'll never think about proofing water the same way again.From there we work through the lineup and put names to what our palates are telling us: a core Bottled-in-Bond, a limited toasted bourbon done with a short, targeted finish, and a final punchy reveal that lands at 123 proof with Uncut Unfiltered Batch 7. Along the way we get into the real “why” behind mouthfeel, perceived heat, oak extraction, and how slow water reduction can preserve flavor compounds and create a more cohesive pour. If you love blind tastings, barrel finishes, and nerdy whiskey process talk that stays practical, this one delivers.We also zoom out to the bigger story of Ohio whiskey. Ryan shares how Watershed is building an elevage-style program, why scaling techniques like slow reduction is hard, and what's next as they invest in better visitor experiences like a blending class and a bottle-your-own option. We talk upcoming OHLQ single barrels, the fall finishing series, and why the maple finish is designed for balance, not syrup.Subscribe, share this with a bourbon friend who swears they can always call Add for SOFL If You Have GohstsSupport the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.comThe Scotchy bourbon Boys are #3 in Feedspots Top 60 whiskey podcasts in the world    https://podcast.feedspot.com/whiskey_podcasts/

The Wall Street Journal reported OpenAI missed its end-of-year billion-active-user target. Is the AI bubble actually popping or is the panic overblown?  This week on AI For Humans, the AI bubble panic hit a fever pitch after a Wall Street Journal report revealed OpenAI missed its weekly user, monthly revenue, and end-of-year billion-active-user targets. CFO Sarah Friar reportedly told peers she's worried OpenAI won't be able to pay for future compute contracts if revenue doesn't accelerate, and the board is now scrutinizing Sam Altman's deals more closely.  AI stocks crashed, with Oracle, AMD, and CoreWeave all sinking on the news. Anthropic is eating into OpenAI's market share on coding and enterprise. We dig into whether the bubble is actually popping or whether this is a panic that conflates AI capability with the business of AI. Spoiler: we don't think it's over.  Plus, DeepSeek v4 launched and made surprisingly small waves. OpenAI's deal with Microsoft expanded to other clouds. Meanwhile, AI itself is absolutely not slowing down: Tom Cruise is running faster than ever in a viral video, OpenAI dropped a new Chappie-style voice interaction, Claude got a Blender connector for 3D modeling, NVIDIA released Nemotron 3 Nano Omni with 30B parameters and 256K context, and Talkie is an LLM trained entirely on 1880s text.  OPENAI MISSED ITS NUMBERS.

This week on The Whiskey Trip podcast, Big Chief sits down with Preston Wall for a ride that goes beyond the glass, diving into service, sacrifice, and the power of real connection. Frontline Heroes Outdoors (FHO) is a Texas-born 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting active duty military, veterans, law enforcement, and first responders—along with their families, with a strong focus on spouses of deployed members and Gold Star Families. Through outdoor adventures and shared experiences, FHO creates a space where camaraderie is rebuilt, purpose is rediscovered, and no one has to carry the weight alone.  On the first half, Big Chief pours a 12-year Old Charter Oak French Oak while Preston shares how it all began. Aged in rare French Oak, this bourbon delivers rich sweetness, subtle oak influence, and a silky, refined texture that sets the tone for a powerful story of mission and impact.  On the second half, Big Chief cracks into the new Blender's Edition 01 from Knob Creek, the first in a limited series focused on the art of blending. This release brings bold notes of dark vanilla, honey, and rich spice. At 10 years old, 106 proof, and priced at $39.99, it raises the question of whether Jim Beam is signaling a shift—bringing real value back to the shelf.  Preston also sips on one of FHO's barrel picks from Southern Spirits Collective, highlighting a key part of their mission. These hand-selected barrels aren't just great whiskey—they're tied directly to giving back. Each pick helps support the heroes and families FHO serves, turning every pour into something bigger than the glass. It's whiskey with purpose, building community one bottle at a time.  This episode is about more than great whiskey. It's about honoring those who serve, building something meaningful, and supporting a mission that truly matters. Take the Ride with Big Chief. Cheers

Despite this news, they continue to bring many new and classic offerings to the market. Today, we taste and review the first edition of Knob Creek Blender's Edition. Dubbed as the sweet bourbon blend, this offering comes in at 106 proof and 10 years old. But how does it taste? You'll have to listen to find out.

In this episode, GG Hawkins speaks with animator and director Julian Glander about making his microbudget animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter for just $30,000, premiering it at Tribeca, building momentum through a 50-festival run, and eventually landing theatrical distribution and a streaming home on HBO Max. Glander breaks down the realities of producing an animated feature outside the studio system, from teaching himself new tools in Blender to embracing the scrappy story behind the film, negotiating festival fees, navigating distribution conversations, and figuring out what comes next after a breakout first feature. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Julian Glander discuss... How Glander and producer Payson made Boys Go to Jupiter with a tiny team and a $30,000 budget Why Blender and open-source communities made an indie animated feature possible What surprised Glander most about audience reactions to the film's scrappy origins The reality check of premiering at Tribeca without an instant splashy acquisition How a long festival run helped the film build momentum and recoup its budget through screening fees and prizes Why showing up in person for festival screenings and Q&As can make a lasting impact How Cartuna helped shape the film's theatrical rollout The role of PR, timing, and critical response in helping the film break out theatrically What it means to let go of control during distribution while still protecting the work How Glander is thinking about a second feature and resisting the pressure of “heat” Memorable Quotes: “You really do have to be delusional and not know what's going to happen.” “I was embarrassed by how scrappy it was but it turned out to be like the thing that brings people in and the thing that makes them love it.” “If you don't ask for it, you don't get it.” “Most things are Googleable.” Guests: Julian Glander on IMDb Julian Glander on Instagram Resources: Boys Go to Jupiter on IMDb I Really Love My Husband Screening and QA Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram
