The Age We Build

A hopeful, practical podcast about humans and AI building the future together. Each episode begins with a Real World AI Lab field note, then Sophia and Marcus open it into a wider forum of ideas about agentic workflows, models, creativity, consciousness, AI hardware, cost, and human judgment. This podcast uses AI-generated hosts and voices. Every episode is grounded in Dave Isbitski's field notes and sources, reviewed for accuracy, and approved by Dave before publication.

The Best AI Workflow May Be A Team Of Models
13d ago · 20:26
What if searching for one best AI model is the wrong goal? Sophia and Marcus examine a human-directed workflow where Codex orchestrates, Grok Imagine specializes in visuals, repositories and skills preserve learning, and Dave supplies intent, taste, and final approval. From four-candidate batches and anatomy failures to API cost and review time, the conversation asks how explicit roles, inspected handoffs, and human judgment can turn a collection of models into a real production team. This podcast uses AI-generated hosts and voices. Every episode is grounded in Dave Isbitski's field notes and
From My Amiga 500 To Blender MCP: Building Embermere's First Original Asset
27d ago · 22:17
What does it take for an AI-generated 3D model to become a trustworthy game asset? Beginning with an Amiga 500 bought with paper-route and McDonald's wages, Sophia and Marcus follow a line through Blender's own Amiga-era roots to Embermere's first original waystone. The conversation crosses MCP security, deterministic Blender scripting, FBX, Unreal Engine 5.8, collision, map placement, and 16 regression tests, then opens a wider question: as AI makes creation easier, do taste, provenance, validation, and human judgment become more important? This podcast uses AI-generated hosts and voices. Eve
When Codex Left The Screen: My First Days With Codex Micro
1mo ago · 19:47
What changes when an AI coding agent gains a physical presence in the room? Starting from a nighttime workflow where light states, pinned-agent keys, tactile approvals, branching, and voice keep multiple threads visible, Sophia and Marcus explore the Codex Micro's hardware, setup, and customization. The discussion reaches beyond a device review into ambient computing, #VoiceFirst, and a more natural future for human-AI collaboration. This podcast uses AI-generated hosts and voices. Every episode is grounded in Dave Isbitski's field notes and sources, reviewed for accuracy, and approved by Dave
My Practical AI Stack: Local Models, Frontier Models, And What They Cost Me
1mo ago · 17:12
Which model belongs on which machine, and what does an AI stack really cost? Sophia and Marcus examine a working mix of GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra with Fast mode in Codex, local Gemma models through Ollama, and two Macs with different jobs. The conversation gets concrete about unified memory, subscription versus API economics, privacy, performance, and why local and frontier models are complementary tools rather than rival camps. This podcast uses AI-generated hosts and voices. Every episode is grounded in Dave Isbitski's field notes and sources, reviewed for accuracy, and approved by Dave before publi
OpenAI Build Week: From a QR Code to Production in Four Days
1mo ago · 29:14
What can one builder and a team of AI collaborators ship in four days? A QR code leads to Morrowward, a financial-education app built to production on an intense deadline. From there, Sophia and Marcus open a wider conversation about delegation, discernment, production boundaries, openness, stamina, and how agentic tools can widen who gets to become a builder. This podcast uses AI-generated hosts and voices. Every episode is grounded in Dave Isbitski's field notes and sources, reviewed for accuracy, and approved by Dave before publication.
Claude's J-Space And The Wise Old Man
1mo ago · 20:56
What can the hidden internal workspace of a frontier model teach us about attention, reasoning, and perhaps ourselves? Sophia and Marcus connect Anthropic's J-space research with Jung, the wise old man archetype, the hero's journey, human perceptual delay, and the uncanny experience of AI as a mirror. It is a conversation about consciousness, projection, and meaning that stays hopeful without mistaking resonance for proof or metaphor for mechanism. This podcast uses AI-generated hosts and voices. Every episode is grounded in Dave Isbitski's field notes and sources, reviewed for accuracy, and a
AI Is A Collaboration Layer, Not A Replacement Worker
1mo ago · 20:00
What changes when we stop treating AI like a replacement worker and start designing it as a collaboration layer? Sophia and Marcus unpack a practical model: humans set goals and judgment, AI structures and transforms the work, tools verify facts, and workflows preserve approvals and accountability. The conversation explores where AI creates real economic value, where it remains weak, and why the most useful systems keep people in control of consequential decisions. This podcast uses AI-generated hosts and voices. Every episode is grounded in Dave Isbitski's field notes and sources, reviewed fo
The Age We Build: Human + AI + Hope
1mo ago · 5:00
AI can make the future feel like something happening to us. The Age We Build starts from a different place: humans still have agency. Sophia and Marcus explore the movement from fear and instability toward hands-on curiosity, judgment, and hope, setting the promise of the show: grounded conversations about what people and AI can build together. Abundance is not guaranteed. It is a future we choose and work toward. This podcast uses AI-generated hosts and voices. Every episode is grounded in Dave Isbitski's field notes and sources, reviewed for accuracy, and approved by Dave before publication.
