AI is trained on the sum total of human output—which means it often produces the average of averages. That’s fine for passable results, but not for unique, high-quality work. In this weekend big think episode, NLW explores what he calls AI’s tyranny of the average and shares five techniques to break through it: using negative style guides, forcing divergence and choice, burning down clichés, prompting self-critique, and leveraging examples that defy consensus. Based on an essay by Alex Kantrowitz, this is a practical guide for anyone who wants their AI outputs to stand out rather than blend in.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
