181: Don’t Be A Dick

ChatGPT 5.2 says: “Listen up, recruits. In this episode of Unrelenting, Darren and Gene tear through the AI circus like a live-fire exercise—no safety rails, no buzzword padding, and absolutely no mercy for garbage tech. You’ll hear real talk about Grok, ChatGPT, Suno, and AI-generated video and music, why some tools drift into plastic, fake-looking sludge, and how chaining multiple AIs together is the only way to get usable results without losing your damn mind. They break down Darren’s new NoAgendaAI side hustle, why short-form video and voice cloning are the next land grab, how AI jingles are infecting everything from bingo cards to podcast bits, and which jobs these tools are actually good for—right now—without the Silicon Valley hype parade.

Then the gloves come off. The conversation swings hard into local AI versus cloud services, Macs versus GPUs, and what it really takes to run models on your own hardware without lighting your wallet on fire. Along the way, they roast “creative” baby names, dissect Grok’s very adult creative instincts, argue about what counts as real art on X, and detour into the most aggressively Unrelenting food and life philosophy you’ll hear this week—bacon engineering, rotisserie chicken scams, Costco price logic, Lego obsession at Titanic scale, and why tipping culture is collapsing under its own greedy touchscreen prompts.

If you care about podcasting, AI tools, content creation, tech workflows, and the brutal reality of making this stuff actually work in the real world—this is your briefing. No motivational posters. No influencer fluff. No mercy for broken software or bad behavior. The mission is simple: build better tools, respect the people doing the work, and above all—don’t be a dick.“

 Unrelenting: where discipline means no mercy, no bullshit, and no excuses.
