A couple of weeks ago a film crew from France came to visit the Free Talk Live studio in the Crypto Mecca of Keene and produce a short documentary about The Crypto Six. Here’s the excellent ten-minute video they made, featuring Free Talk Live hosts Ian, Nobody, and Aria DiMezzo:
Free Talk Live host Ian Freeman appeared this morning on “Path to State Sovereignty” on KTALK 1640 in Salt Lake City, UT with host Lowell Nelson to discuss the New Hampshire constitutional amendment to secede from the United States and the attack on the Crypto Six.

In this provocative episode, Aria dismantles the myth of human creative superiority and challenges the widespread belief that AI is ‘stealing’ from artists. Starting with a brutal truth—that AI is mostly replacing commodity creative work, not masterpieces—she explores why the resistance to AI art reveals more about human ego than artistic integrity.
Through personal examples of using AI for podcast thumbnails while hiring human designers for strategic branding, Aria demonstrates the natural market segmentation already occurring between routine creative tasks and genuine artistic value. She tackles the uncomfortable reality that artists don’t inherently ‘deserve’ to make a living any more than workers in other industries displaced by technology.
The episode draws fascinating parallels between human and AI learning processes, from Renaissance workshops to modern chess championships, exposing the double standards in how we judge creativity. Aria doesn’t shy away from hard truths about iteration problems with human artists, the economic realities of technological displacement, and why nearly everyone—including podcasters—will eventually face AI competition.
This isn’t just about art—it’s about human ego, technological progress, and the democratization of creative tools. Whether you’re an artist worried about AI, a tech enthusiast, or someone interested in how ego shapes our relationship with innovation, this episode offers an unflinching look at creativity in the age of artificial intelligence.
