Update: 2025-09-29
Description
AI is accelerating at breakneck speed, reshaping industries from Hollywood to the corporate office in surprising and sometimes disruptive ways. In this episode, we reveal the rise of Tilly Norwood, the synthetic actor on the verge of landing major Hollywood talent deals—and sparking fierce human backlash. But the drama doesn’t stop on the red carpet. We unpack the invisible cost of “workslop,” polished but hollow AI-generated output that wastes nearly two hours of employee time on average, costing businesses hundreds of dollars per worker each month and eroding trust and creativity in teams. Finally, we dive into Apple’s internal AI battlefield and the multi-year delay facing its next-generation Siri upgrade—a cautionary tale of scaling AI innovation amid talent drains and infrastructure challenges. Whether you’re a marketer, AI enthusiast, or industry leader, this deep dive exposes the messy reality of AI’s rapid rise and offers practical insights to help you turn AI from a hidden tax into a genuine productivity partner.
