The main tech companies are sinking tens of billions of dollars on the success of generative AI. But what if it isn’t the next big thing? What if it’s failing in almost every way? AI companies burn obscene amounts of money with little return. How long can that last for? AIs dispense useless and sometimes dangerous advice. A recent study showed that tech companies have run out of new training data to improve their AI models. If AI is really so costly, unreliable, and limited, what happens to the industry that has bet so big on it? And what happens to the economies depending on the stock prices of that industry (and your pension)?

74 year old Bill Wisener had owned Bills Records in Dallas, Texas for 46 years. His shop was once the largest independent record store in the country. Director Chuck Przybyl and his crew had filmed with Bill from 2014 – 2019. This short film was created from 2015-2017.

La Conquista

Following the Camino Del Cid across Spain. From Burgos in the north to Valencia in the south east, 1000 years ago El Cid crossed these lands on horseback to conquer Valencia. This bikepacking adventure takes the same route.
