From Legends to Algorithms, Lost Art, and the New Age of Fame - #10

From ancient legends to AI art theft—what does creativity even mean anymore?
In this episode, we trace the tangled history of celebrity and creativity—from mythic heroes and Trojan horses to modern fame, viral artists, and the weird world of internet culture. Are we still inspired by our icons, or just endlessly scrolling past them?

We get into how AI is stealing from real artists (yes, including Studio Ghibli), and what that means for the future of music, visual art, and originality itself. Is this the beginning of a new era—or the end of one?

Plus: Jurassic Park parallels in real life, bizarre political takes, whether free speech has limits, and why modern art might just feel... a little soulless. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about the evolution of influence, the rise of artificial creativity, and whether we still believe in heroes at all.
