Bad Decisions Podcast

A look at AI tools now embedded into 3D software and how that streamlines creative pipelines. A deep dive into a fruit fly brain emulated in a physics engine and what it means for modeling intelligence. A discussion about why not knowing how to code can be an advantage in product building and team composition.

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.
