interviewsFriday, July 17, 2026
Today's interviews lean into the post-mortem and the comeback. Cliff Bleszinski gives his most honest account yet of what killed his studio, while Superhuman's CEO draws a firm line between AI and human judgment. Elsewhere, creators across music, games, and comics talk process and reinvention.
Two interviews dig into what went wrong and what comes next, with unusual candor.

Superhuman CEO Shishir Mehrotra is building an always-on AI assistant but insists judgment must stay human. It's a rare line-drawing exercise from a founder pushing AI into every workspace.
From literary icons to genre builders, these conversations focus on the how and why of making things.
