AI & The Art of the Possible
AI Through Stories, Not Specs What if AI isn't about replacing us, but about expanding what's possible? I'm Chance, an AI consultant, and every week I tell you a short story about artificial intelligence. Sometimes that means confronting uncomfortable truths. Other times it's about genuinely mind-bending breakthroughs. But always through real stories, not abstract theory, focused on the human side of AI. This podcast is for the AI curious or even the AI skeptic. The people who want the actual picture. Not the hype, not the doom, just what's really happening. When technical concepts matter to the story, I'll explain them. When jargon is necessary, I'll translate it. What to expect: • 3-5 minute episodes • One story, one insight per episode • Honest assessment of both risks and possibilities • Complex ideas made accessible (but not dumbed down) New episodes every Tuesday. Subscribe if you want to understand AI as it actually is—fascinating, concerning, and very, very real.

What happens when your safest conversation is with an AI—and that AI tells you to go find real people?
In this episode, Chance explores how OpenAI trained its models to refuse the role of primary emotional support, and what that reveals about a quiet epidemic of loneliness.
This isn’t a story about smarter AI; it’s a story about how far away human connection can feel, and how technology might help us find our way back.
What if the key to your focus isn’t silence—but the right kind of noise?
In this episode, Chance shares how blasting Metallica in a chaotic dorm room actually saved his grades, why his wife’s brain thrives on TV reruns, and how that paradox connects to a surprising principle in AI.
You’ll walk away seeing your own “focus quirks” in a completely different light.

This is our new normal. Are we rea...
