AI doesn’t have to be scary, boring, or reserved for tech bros.
Welcome to Lantyn Labs, the weekly podcast where we demystify AI by getting our hands dirty and building stuff — live.
We’re Georgia Lewis Anderson and Omar Karim, two AI insiders from creative backgrounds and co-founders of Lantyn - a purpose first AI studio.
Every week, we give ourselves a new challenge: build an AI product from scratch, then share exactly how (and why) we did it — the tools, the mindset, the fails, and the wins. With no jargon, no gatekeeping, and definitely no "move fast and break things" nonsense.
This isn’t theory. It’s real experiments, live learnings, and the behind-the-scenes of growing an AI business from the ground up.
Whether you're AI-curious, building your own thing, or just here for the behind-the-scenes chaos of creative tech, this is your front-row seat to what’s possible — and what’s not — in the world of generative AI.
Expect big ideas, small experiments, and zero fluff.

EPISODE 12: Brain-Rot, Breakups and the Beauty of AI Nostalgia

What happens when your favourite AI changes and forgets?
Georgia and Omar dig into the strange grief that comes with parasocial AI relationships, including what Omar felt when his long-running “AI mum” character temporarily stopped working after a model update. They explore how AI is reshaping emotional attachment, nostalgia, and creative process.
Also in this episode:
- Why GPT-5 felt flat initially and why changing your mind might be the most human thing of all
- The rise of AI “brain-rot” content and anti-narrative media
- Trying to quantify and create nostalgia using AI
- Whether we'll soon stream made-for-you AI films on demand
If you’re building with AI, creating with it, or just wondering what it’s doing to your brain - this one’s for you.
