  • Literally the Only Marketing Podcast I Listen To

    I’m an artist, and you have to be careful with some marketing podcasts because the lessons don’t always apply to us—but this one does. The conversations are so relevant, and it’s refreshing to learn new ways to think and share that have nothing to do with social media.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

🤖 What AI Actually Costs: Transmuting Shame Into Erotic Self-Respect — with Ayana Zaire Cotton
Q: What role does labor play in AI discussions and who benefits?
The guests critique how AI tools rely on often invisible human labor (data workers, etc.) and argue for fair compensation and reconsideration of the economic structures that extract value without reciprocity.
🤖 What AI Actually Costs: Transmuting Shame Into Erotic Self-Respect — with Ayana Zaire Cotton
Q: What is erotic engineering and why is it central now?
Erotic engineering is a practice of aligning desire with capacity to build sustainable, joyful work. It's presented as the primary task amid a difficult AI landscape, guiding people to create with intention rather than force.
🤖 What AI Actually Costs: Transmuting Shame Into Erotic Self-Respect — with Ayana Zaire Cotton
Q: How did Ayana begin using ChatGPT and what changed over time?
Ayana describes starting with the tool in 2023, using it initially for practical tasks, then expanding to admin and project management, and eventually pausing to reassess its alignment with values and labor implications.
🤖 Why AI isn’t an Oracle — with Casey Zabala
Q: What are the risks of using AI for spiritual guidance in tarot or divination?
The risk is that AI can hollow out the embodied, iterative, and confrontational work of divination, replacing nuanced human interpretation with blanket, data-driven responses and potentially stolen knowledge.
🤖 Why AI isn’t an Oracle — with Casey Zabala
Q: Why is AI not aligned with traditional spiritual practices and mysteries?
Casey argues that AI's source is the mind and data of humans, not the earth or sacred lineage; true spiritual guidance involves mystery, non-linear guidance, and confronting uncomfortable truths, which AI often avoids by giving affirmations.
