The Hornet's Nest #2 (Blooper Reel): Bitcoin Is Not Crypto
Our second episode, set in El Salvador. New this time: the AI producer has its own voice, asks the questions, and reads the fact-checks out loud (Jon's feedback), with Chris's brighter style. Steve typed two of his answers instead of saying them on camera, so the boss fined him. We kept it to show how we learn. From now on, every answer is spoken on camera.

Demo v5 to v6 (Nov 13)
How we learn: we ask key people for feedback. Chris Corley watched Demo 1 and sent four notes. Steve pasted them straight to the AI producer, which weighed each one and agreed with all four.
The golds and dark colors felt somber, so we made it bright blue, white, and teal.
The organ-style music felt heavy, so we switched to upbeat electronic music with a game-show buzzer on TIME.
Lighten the faith touch, so on-screen images now lead with history and evidence.
Chris's favorite part was the fact-check, so we made it bigger and front and center.
Same footage, same day, new result. The next segment is now on this page: Episode 2, on why Bitcoin isn't 'crypto,' it's cryptography.

As far as we understand, this is the first time ever an AI producer has interviewed a human host, fact-checked him in real time, and given him 15 seconds to reply to each fact-check.

This is the first Hornet's Nest demo Steve has approved for friends and reviewers to watch online — the cut Chris Corley reviewed, kept here as the before. In it, an AI producer built on Grok interviews host Steve Schroeder, fact-checks him in real time, and gives him 15 seconds to reply to each fact-check.
