    The AI Social Networks Have Skill Issues

    ssh terminal.shop This week on The Standup, the crew digs into the chaos of AI “skills,” agent tooling, and the growing security risks nobody seems to be paying attention to. From hallucinated commands spreading across GitHub to supply-chain nightmares and wild real-world examples, it’s a funny, slightly terrifying look at where AI tooling is headed. Laughs, hot takes, and a reality check for anyone letting agents run loose on their machine.

    Luke talks RAM Pricing, Tech Youtube and LTT Developer hiring process

    Thanks to this week's sponsor: Code Rabbit https://coderabbit.link/primeagen-vscode If you're tired of developers just replying with LGTM, then you NEED Code Rabbit. An actually useful application of AI where it can use your own rules, lints and more to provide instant feedback in your editor OR a review on Github. This week we’re joined by Luke to break down why RAM prices are exploding, how AI and hyperscalers are reshaping the hardware market, and why consumers are getting left behind. We dig into DDR5, HBM, data centers, enterprise priorities, and what all of this means for your next PC upgrade—plus a few dumb jokes and hard truths along the way.

    Scam Altman's Crypto Currency

    Sam Altman’s “Worldcoin” is real… and somehow it’s even weirder than it sounds. TJ walks the crew through the orb, iris scans, “proof of human,” and the pitch for AI-funded UBI. We break down the funding, the rollout, the controversies, and why this all feels insanely ominous. Plus: classic Standup chaos, conspiracy energy, and too many jokes about where the orb shouldn’t go.
