Nov 3, 2025 | AI Generated Podcast with NotebookLM
This week, we’re tracing the evolving landscape of creativity, technology, and personal identity. With a spotlight on the latest AI-powered innovations from Adobe and Canva, we examine how creative professionals are being both empowered and challenged by new tools—and what’s at stake when the platforms we rely on falter.
We dig into the harsh realities of cloud infrastructure, as Microsoft Azure’s recent outage exposes the vulnerabilities beneath our digital workflows. The conversation then pivots to the cultural and personal: from the rise of “AI slop” in politics to the shifting social scripts around relationships and the business of personal platforms like OnlyFans.
Amidst the noise, we ask: What does it mean to have an “edge” when no one wants your insight? And how do we navigate a world where creative and personal reinvention is both a necessity and a risk?
Join us as we unpack the week’s headlines, question the stability of our creative and social platforms, and search for meaning in the mess.
