Two dudes actually using it.
The show launched on July 2, 2024 as Midjourney Fast Hours, a name straight from Midjourney’s billing: generate in Fast Mode and you use “fast hours”. It dropped the first word in Episode 67 (April 2026) and now covers every image, video and agent tool a working creative touches. Fast Hours pressure-tests AI creative tools and workflows in public, from Midjourney to Seedance to Claude to whatever ships tomorrow.

About the name
The name comes straight from Midjourney’s billing: generate in Fast Mode and you burn through “fast hours” of GPU time. When the show outgrew Midjourney in Ep. 67, the “Midjourney” went and the hours stayed. Who actually came up with it is hazier.
