<p><strong>Episode 10 </strong></p><p><strong>🔥 Fire &amp; Steel Podcast — This Week’s Episode</strong></p><p>This week on the <strong>Fire&amp; Steel Podcast</strong>, it’s a loose, honest, very real catch-up episode — thekind that happens when makers sit down, hit record, and let the conversation gowhere it wants.</p><p>We start by ventingabout modern software that’s powerful on paper but maddening in practice.LightBurn, Photoshop, Premiere Pro — all incredible tools, all capable ofcompletely derailing your day when they decide not to behave. If you’ve everfelt like software is actively gaslighting you, you’ll feel seen.</p><p>Chris talks throughordering parts for his various project vehicles, including using ChatGPT towork out gearing ratios — one of those moments where AI can genuinely beincredibly helpful, saving time and brainpower when the maths gets a bit heavy.</p><p>That naturally leadsinto a wider conversation about AI and ChatGPT more generally: when it’sgenuinely brilliant at problem-solving, and when it’s <em>very confidently wrong</em>.Toby shares a recent experience where ChatGPT absolutely stitched him up whiletrying to solve a Premiere Pro issue, confidently making things up and turninga simple problem into a deeply frustrating one — and why blind trust in AItools can sometimes make things worse rather than better.</p><p>We also dip into thejoys of phone providers, network issues, and delivery companies, including anespecially painful run-in with UPS, and how systems designed for “efficiency”often seem engineered to remove any actual human logic from the process.</p><p>There’s no rigidstructure this week — just an unfiltered conversation about tech, tools, AI,projects, and the everyday frustrations of running businesses and buildingthings in an increasingly automated world.</p><p>Expect rants, laughs,honesty, and the reassurance that it’s not just you losing your mind.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Support us at Patreon  <a href="https://www.patreon.com/fireandsteelpodcast">https://www.patreon.com/fireandsteelpodcast</a> </p><p>or buy our merch <a href="https://www.diesineveryfilm.com/shop/p/y3wc4fpnt4aozombojxcwee19g9tt8">tshirts</a> <a href="https://www.diesineveryfilm.com/shop/p/aulqbwgohoa743zz5b5zu8l9xl9nc2">stickers</a>  </p><p>Find us at</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/fireandsteelpodcast/">https://www.instagram.com/fireandsteelpodcast/</a><u> </u></p><p><u>https://www.instagram.com/murrillforge/</u></p><p>          <a href="http://www.murrillforge.com">www.murrillforge.com</a></p><p> Email <a href="mailto:info@murrillforge.co.uk">info@murrillforge.co.uk</a> </p><p>Onur  <a href="https://www.instagram.com/diesineveryfilm/">https://www.instagram.com/diesineveryfilm/</a></p><p>YouTube<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Diesineveryfilm">https://www.youtube.com/user/Diesineveryfilm</a></p><p>Chris <a href="https://www.instagram.com/full_steam_designs/">https://www.instagram.com/full_steam_designs/</a></p><p>Youtube<a href="https://www.youtube.com/chrispowellfsd">https://www.youtube.com/chrispowellfsd</a></p><p></p>
