On TWiST, Jason lays out why this is actually the biggest AI story of the year. Nvidia plans to offer enterprises unmetered, unlimited on-prem compute, pulling them away from reliance on Anthropic and OpenAI's frontier models and products. PLUS we're chatting with Halter founder & CEO Craig Piggott about how his company helps farmers optimize their land use via solar-powered AI-driven cattle collars. AND Hop Aero CEO and co-founder Matija Milenovic shows us Rook, his autonomous hypersonic cargo rocket that can launch from a shipping container and deliver cargo up to 450 miles away in about 15 minutes. Finally, Jason and Lon explain why you never post Slop on the timeline.

Welcome back to the HX Podcast, where we are diving deep, deep into the intersection of human experience and AI. Today, I'm reporting as your on-the-street reporter on a silent productivity killer creeping into our teams: "work slop"—AI output that looks finished on the surface but is actually riddled with mistakes. Workers are losing a massive chunk of their time savings, up to two hours of rework per incident, trying to fix these AI-generated blunders. But let's be clear—this isn't a character issue with your staff; it's a design issue. With only 13% to 26% of organizations providing formal AI training, we've handed our teams powerful tools without a manual, forcing them to build exhausting, hidden workarounds just to get the job done. In this episode, we're reframing that hidden tax of rework as the training investment you simply haven't made yet. I'm sharing a simple, three-step handoff protocol that any team can adopt by Monday to close this proficiency gap and make AI speed sustainable. We will walk through why an AI draft is never the final artifact, how a named human reviewer can utilize a quick checklist, and why logging AI misses is the key to sharpening your training over time. Don't let AI run loose like an unsupervised intern. Tune in, grab our one-page protocol PDF in the link below, and let's explore how humans help humans do better, faster, and smarter work every single day! Stacie To find the tools and resources mentioned in each episode, head over to www.thehxcoach.com and start closing the capture gap in your organization today.

Uncle Bob wrote the book on clean code, and the whole argument rests on one number: you read code ten times for every time you write it, so you'd better make it readable.

#tyga #flockcameras #patmcafee *Audio is fixed at 5:23 Cracking open a quite unique Korean brew, we get into former musician/AI slop generator, Tyga's, new album that he proudly created using generative AI. Why is that bad for artists? Oh buddy, will we tell you. To top off on controversial topics, we also talk about Pat McAfee's flawed attempt at being apolitical while cozying up to DJT and the Flock cameras that have us feeling a little extra dystopian in 2026.

LinkedIn just added a button that every content creator needs to know about.It's being called the “AI Slop” button.And it sends a pretty clear message about where LinkedIn is heading.Users can now click the three dots on a post and select “Seems like AI slop” when content feels generic, low-quality, or overly AI-generated.But there's more happening behind the scenes.LinkedIn has also removed its generative “enhance your post” writing tool and replaced it with a simpler proofreader designed to preserve your natural voice.Reports of AI slop aren't necessarily causing posts to be immediately removed or accounts to be banned. Instead, those reports can help LinkedIn improve the systems it uses to identify low-quality AI content.And accounts repeatedly identified by those systems may begin seeing private indicators within their analytics.This is something I have been saying for a long time:AI isn't the problem. Losing your voice because of AI is.Use AI to brainstorm.Use it to organize your thoughts.Use it to improve your writing.Use it to save time.But don't let AI turn you into another person posting the same generic content everyone else is posting.LinkedIn is built around human connection, and your content should still sound like it came from a human.Take our LinkedIn Thought Leadership Assessment here: https://www.thetimetogrow.com/ecs-scorecard

Anika sat down with Leysan Zigangirova to explore how marketing leadership must evolve as artificial intelligence makes content creation almost free. The conversation revealed a crucial truth: AI cannot replace human judgment, strategic risk-taking, or deep audience insight. Leysan's 15-plus-year background spanning Procter & Gamble, Philip Morris, Microsoft, Nebius, and now Async offered practical insights into transitioning from consumer marketing to tech startups, rebranding major products, and keeping human taste at the center of innovation.   In This Episode The early career roots in consumer market intelligence at P&G and managing the Marlboro Gold original rebrand Shifting from fast-moving consumer goods to enterprise tech at Microsoft Building Yandex Cloud from scratch and leading the visual identity and brand name creation for Nebius Taking a 15-country sabbatical around the world and how it built mental agility for the AI era Why marketing must share a revenue KPI with sales to eliminate department silos The danger of waiting for perfect data versus making bold, human-driven decisions Why Async shifted from Podcastle to focus on asynchronous creativity and editing co-creation The growing importance of human taste as a competitive advantage against AI-generated "slop"   Timestamps 04:11 — Managing the Marlboro Lights rebrand to Marlboro Gold and navigating ethical challenges within restricted tobacco markets. 07:13 — Transitioning into the technology sector at Microsoft and working on the Azure cloud rollout. 08:58 — Building Yandex Cloud from scratch and co-founding the brand identity for Nebius, leading to $700 million in strategic financing. 10:33 — Taking a life-changing 15-country global sabbatical and using that mental agility to adapt to fast-paced AI environments. 16:11 — Unifying metrics: Why marketing and sales must share revenue KPIs to build trust and eliminate departmental silos. 18:37 — Navigating uncertainty: The danger of waiting for complete data and why human risk-taking separates leaders from AI. 21:30 — Balancing AI automation with human judgment, resource reality, and operational limitations. 23:48 — The evolution of Async: Transitioning from Podcastle to an AI-native editing co-pilot for asynchronous creativity. 25:44 — The value of human taste: Why subjective perspective and authentic quality serve as the ultimate competitive defense against AI "slop". 31:47 — Advice for modern founders: Starting with core user conversations and anchoring strategy in founder passion.   Key Insights & Takeaways   Insight 1: AI Lacks Resource Reality and Risk-Taking   While AI optimizes productivity and text/image generation, it cannot comprehend internal team dynamics, operational capabilities, or resource realities. Furthermore, AI avoids risk, whereas human leadership relies on making bold decisions with incomplete data.   Insight 2: Marketing Must Share Revenue KPIs   Treating marketing purely as a brand equity exercise builds a wall between departments. When marketing shares a revenue KPI with sales, data tracking improves, inter-departmental hostility dissolves, and both teams work cohesively.   Insight 3: Speed Trumps Perfect Data in Fast-Moving Markets   Planning cycles have shrunk from annual strategies down to monthly or bi-weekly alignments. Waiting for complete data causes organizations to miss their window; modern leaders must embrace calculated risks and navigate blind spots faster than competitors.   Insight 4: Human Taste is the Ultimate Competitive Advantage   As AI-generated content increases, the internet is flooded with low-quality "slop". True market distinction stems from human taste, subjective perspective, and genuine emotional connections that technology cannot replicate.   Insight 5: Rebranding Requires a Deep Structural Pivot   A successful rebrand goes far beyond semantics. When Podcastle evolved into Async, it mirrored a complete structural shift toward asynchronous video creation, ensuring the brand identity aligned directly with evolving user needs and product reality.   Resources & Links Mentioned Async (formerly Podcastle)  Nebius Microsoft Azure   About Leysan Zigangirova Leysan Zigangirova is a seasoned marketing leader with over 15 years of experience scaling global brands. Starting her career in consumer and market intelligence at Procter & Gamble and managing iconic portfolios at Philip Morris, she later transitioned into technology. She spent four years at Microsoft, helped build Yandex Cloud from scratch as a founding member, created the brand identity for Nebius—which attracted $700 million in financing—and traveled across 15 countries on a life-changing sabbatical. Today, she serves as the Chief Marketing Officer at Async, helping creators and teams embrace asynchronous video creation and AI-driven editing.   Connect with Leysan LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lzigangirova/ Website:  https://async.com Like the show?

In this episode, Tara sits down with author, artist, and Emmy-winning animator Loryn Brantz for an honest conversation on creativity, modern parenting, and what's really going on behind the scenes in children's media. Loryn opens up about shifting from traditional animation on classic shows like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Sesame Street to writing children's books, sharing how a very relatable toddler meltdown inspired her new book, I Am a Spicy Nugget. She and Tara unpack practical strategies for co-regulation and handling big emotions, explaining why doing the inner self-work and reparenting ourselves beats relying on cookie-cutter parenting scripts every time. They also tackle the changing landscape of creative content, diving into Loryn's advocacy for artist protection against AI after her public battle over The Good Advice Cupcake. From the rise of AI-generated slop in children's shows to her behind-the-scenes work with powerhouses like Ms. Rachel and PBS, Loryn reminds us that human connection is at the heart of storytelling. This conversation is a candid look at the emotional work of raising good humans while fighting to protect genuine creative integrity for the next generation.

What's your gold standard for deciding whether AI-written code is ready for production? In Episode 42 of Talking Postgres, Simon Willison—creator of Datasette, co-creator of Django, and prolific open-source developer—joins Claire to share how AI is changing the way he builds software today. We dig into why his test for shipping AI-generated code is “Could I explain this to somebody else?”, how engineering management skills can be surprisingly useful when managing AI agents, and how the bottleneck is no longer writing code but understanding it. Also: personal credibility, deep research, the Winchester Mystery House, slop proxies, and Simon's observation that “Features are cheap.

First, LinkedIn's reported test of an AI-generated content flag signals a growing preference for writing that sounds unmistakably human. Next, Meta's Holiday Insights Center and marketing playbook are offering new resources for planning campaigns before the burst of Q4 competition and advertising costs. Emma also explores Pinterest's connection between brand keywords and stronger return on ad spend. Finally, you'll learn about how Reddit's continued audience growth highlights the increasing value of community conversations, reputation management, and authentic word of mouth. These updates show what you need to prioritize to stay visible and competitive across a rapidly changing digital landscape in August 2026.     Listen in as Emma explains: Why human perspective is outperforming AI-generated content on LinkedIn How Meta's new resources can improve your early Q4 planning Why Pinterest keywords help with product discovery and advertising returns How Reddit influences your place in the market   And much, much more!

Can you actually tell when a post was written by AI—and should it matter?In this special episode, Wistia's social media team joins the conversation about LinkedIn's “Seems like AI slop” reporting option and what it reveals about trust, authenticity, and the changing attention economy.The group explores why real content is increasingly mistaken for AI, how visible effort and expertise build credibility, and where brands should preserve the human voice while using AI to work more efficiently. They also discuss niche communities, creative risk-taking, and why experimentation needs to be followed by transparency.The takeaway: The most useful question isn't whether AI was involved. It's whether a real person brought judgment, care, and a meaningful point of view to the work.Links to Learn More: Follow Aubry Bracco on LinkedInFollow Frank Emanuele on LinkedInFollow Savage on LinkedInSubscribe to Talking Too Loud on WistiaWatch on YouTubeFollow Talking Too Loud on TikTokLove what you heard?

Is your business creating more content with AI… but getting less attention from it?AI has made it ridiculously easy to produce images, ads, social posts, and product visuals. Unfortunately, easy doesn't mean effective. When everyone has access to the same tools, generic prompts tend to produce generic content—and generic content rarely moves the business needle.The solution isn't another 500-word “perfect prompt.” It's giving AI better context, references, brand knowledge, and creative direction—and knowing when human refinement still matters.In this episode of Leveraging AI, Isar Meitis sits down with Aastha Taneja to break down a practical workflow for creating AI-powered visual assets that look intentional, stay consistent with your brand, and are designed to generate engagement rather than simply fill your content calendar.Aastha demonstrates how she combines traditional creative thinking with tools including ChatGPT, Figma, Pinterest, image-generation platforms, and Photoshop. She also explains why she believes businesses should treat AI as an assistant—not outsource the entire creative process to it.In this session, you'll discover:Why so much AI-generated marketing content turns into forgettable “AI slop.”Why better AI creative starts before you write a prompt.How mood boards give AI a far clearer understanding of the visual direction you want.How to feed AI your website, brand assets, SOPs, typography, and existing creative to improve its output.The difference between borrowing a proven format and copying someone else's creative.How to maintain accurate product details when AI image generators get almost everything right—but miss one critical element.How AI can help businesses create high-quality Amazon listing images and other e-commerce assets.How reusable visual workflows can turn a manual creative process into a scalable content system.Aastha Taneja is a creative professional with years of experience developing digital assets for brands and through freelance work. She now combines that traditional design foundation with AI, helping businesses and professionals understand how to use AI tools more effectively for creative work and sharing those methods through corporate training.Her core philosophy is refreshingly practical: AI should amplify good creative thinking—not replace it.Connect with Aastha on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/taneja-aastha/ About Leveraging AIThe Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/eventsIf you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

Work slop is a new term that Harvard Business coined for AI output that looks polished but has no substance. It looks good enough, passes inspection, and carries very little weight, quietly transferring the actual work to whoever's downstream. But work slop is not new. The same thing has been happening in leadership for a long time through active listening, feedback meetings, and "candid conversations" that take the form of something real without actually touching what matters.

LinkedIn says it is declaring war on AI slop, even though the platform helped create the conditions that made endless generic content possible. Joe and Robert discuss LinkedIn's new cleanup efforts and whether platforms can distinguish low-quality AI content from valuable AI-assisted work. Next, the boys cover the breaking story involving rogue AI agents from Anthropic and Meta. Is this marketing theatre or real-world training problems with AI? Disney and TikTok are partnering to give creators access to Disney content and bring fan-made videos into the Disney+ experience. Is Disney empowering creators and strengthening fandom a good move, or too late? In Marketing Winners and Losers, Robert's winner is Spotify for adding Merlin to its AI music-remix initiative. Joe's winner is Aéropostale's The Intern Diaries, featuring 16-year-old creator Déjà Clark as an active participant in both the content and product-development process. In Rants and Raves, Robert raves about a New York Times article on AI transformation from Lululemon's former chief information officer. Joe rants about the Los Angeles Times comparing AI skills with an MBA and explains why knowing how to operate today's tools is not the same as learning strategy, judgment and critical thinking.

Elon Musk's SpaceX is spending billions on AI data centres, rocket ships and moon ambitions but investors are asking how much it can burn before the bet pays off. Meanwhile, ‘AI slop' is flooding social media. And new EU rules mean platforms will have to label AI-generated content. But can regulation keep up? Danny Fortson and Mark Sellman discuss SpaceX, Starlink, space junk and the growing fight over AI content online. Plus, Danny speaks to Ivan Zhao, co-founder and CEO of Notion, about AI agents, the future of work and why his company hired a 16-year-old high schooler.

August 6, 2026: I look at why more than a third of U.S. employers are handing out flat "peanut butter raises" even as top performers use AI to do more. Then I get into new data showing workers' share of U.S. economic output has fallen to the lowest level on record, raising a bigger question: if AI makes people more productive, who gets the gains? Finally, I unpack LinkedIn's move to reduce AI slop and why polished AI-generated work is becoming a real credibility problem inside companies.

Full episodes and much more available on Patreon.com/slopquest Andy realizes he’s about to be friends with a lot more furries. Ryan talks about how difficult it is for him to be attracted to women in giant costumes with a butt flap. Then Ryan proposes a WW2 musical that Andy finds dubious at best. There’s a lot of “rhyming only one word” musical improv. Ryan is convinced that the idea is “gold”. However, some of the lyrics are…not great. Andy listens to his own show more and realizes apple podcasts comes up with titles for each segment on the show. Zuckerberg tries to make his own beef and this makes Ryan furious. There’s a lot boys reminisce about how we used to tenderize meat. Andy tries to invent a sniffing only bordello while Ryan tries to invent discount call girls. Ryan asks Andy what he would do with “evil billionaire money” and it’s so unhinged that ryan gets scared. Andy then decides he will hire Ryan to do all the interviews for him as a billionaire while armed and speaking only in rhymes. Then Ryan describes genitalia in the single dumbest way anyone has ever heard. Then Ryan suggests that Andy hire John C Reilly to play Dr. Steve Brule 24/7 on his mega yacht. Then Ryan wants to open “The O’Neills Presidential Library” that’s just car magazines with a special section where only Ryan is allowed to touch the “good ones”. Then Ryan tries to convince any to build a giant oil pipeline that drains Mars or a village of kids with great hair that billionaires can use for wigs. Then the boys have more voicemail reviews of “Morning Glory Milking Farm”.
