Bad Decisions Podcast The Future of Creation with AI
Mar 6, 2026
Bilal (Bilawal), an AI and product practitioner who builds tooling and 3D workflows. He argues 3D viewport control beats node graphs, explores AI agents tailored for creatives, and shares hands-on takes on rapid AI tooling, pipelines, and safe agent workflows. Short, sharp ideas about real-time control, production-scale AI teams, and where creation stacks are heading.

Episode notes
Startups Move Faster Than Incumbents
- Big incumbents move like tankers while startups act like speed boats, so startups ship novel AI features far faster.
- Bilal and Faraz call for incumbents (like Epic) to partner or spin faster or risk being outpaced by nimble teams.
Viewport Control Beats Node-Only Workflows
- Nodes (visual scripting) give an illusion of control but still force repeated generate cycles; 3D viewport control is the missing piece for precise creative workflows.
- Bilal argues a viewport that lets you move camera, lights, and gizmos would replace much of the trial-and-error prompting loop.
Add Viewport And Camera Pose Controls
- Prioritize adding a 3D viewport and camera pose controls when building generative tools to avoid repeated regenerations.
- Use tracked camera poses or real-time pose conditioning (like Genie) to capture serendipitous shots instead of purely text prompts.
