    We Built an AI Podcast Producer- Plus GPT Realtime, AI Anime & the Anthropic/SpaceX Deal | EP 43

    In Episode 43, Pierson and Bilal come fresh off the a16z Generative Media Video Hackathon - and they built some wild stuff. Bilal went from a prompt to a full AI-generated podcast: custom avatars, Gemini TTS voices, lip-synced video, and live infographics pulled by deep research. All stitched together programmatically. Pierson built something different — an AI producer that joins your recording call as a guest, listens for a wake word, and pulls up images, search results, or visuals on a live canvas. Think: Jamie from Joe Rogan, but agentic. From there they get into: GPT Realtime 2 — real-time transcription, translation, and a voice API that stays listening even when "asleep"The shift from AI writing code to AI owning features — and what engineering responsibility looks like in that worldAI-generated anime breaking the last creative barrier humans thought they hadXAI dissolving into SpaceX, Elon's Colossus One deal with Anthropic, and what it means for Claude Code limitsMicro datacenters — Nvidia Blackwell chips mounted in your garage via SPAN's XFRA Chapters: 00:00 Episode 43 & The a16z Generative Media Hackathon 04:00 Bilal's Build: Prompt to Full AI Podcast with Avatars 10:30 Pierson's Build: An AI Producer That Joins Your Call Live 20:00 GPT Realtime 2 & the Always-On AI Future 31:00 AI Anime, Creativity & the Last Human Bastion 37:00 XAI, Anthropic's Colossus Deal & Micro Data centers 🔗 Links mentioned: GPT Realtime API: https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-realtimeSin Citium anime: https://x.com/Cont_animation/status/2051296715781619829SPAN Micro Datacenters x Nvidia: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260414372626/en/SPAN-Announces-XFRA-a-Distributed-Data-Center-Solution-to-Close-the-Speed-to-Power-Gap-for-AI-Compute-Demand 🐦 Follow the hosts: Pierson → https://x.com/piersonmarksBilal → https://x.com/deepwhitman 📺 More episodes: / @jellypodai

    The AI Podcast That Fooled Everyone, Talkie 13B & Stripe for Agents | EP 42

    In Episode 42 of Creative Flux, Pierson and Bilal kick off episode 42 - the answer to the universe - and things get weird fast. From there they cover: - ElevenLabs launching a standalone music social app, why Suno accidentally became a social network first, and the impossible position Spotify is now in - An AI podcast of Henrik Johansen and Martin Shkreli so realistic even Bilal got fooled - Talkie 13B — a model trained exclusively on pre-1931 text by Alec Radford, and why it feels like actually talking to someone from the past - Stripe Link going agent-first and Sam Altman hinting at something big around bring-your-own-tokens at Stripe Sessions Chapters: 00:00 Hitchhiker's Guide, Audio Books & the Future of Multi-Voice AI Narration 08:10 ElevenLabs Music, Suno's Social Network & What Spotify Is Really Up Against 16:00 Henrik Johansen x Martin Shkreli — The AI Podcast That Fooled Everyone 22:00 Talkie 13B — A Language Model Trained Exclusively on Pre-1930 Text 36:30 Stripe Link for Agents, Sign In with ChatGPT & the Agent-First Platform Shift 🔗 Show Notes: ElevenLabs Music: https://elevenlabs.io/music Henrick Johanssen & Martin Shkreli: https://x.com/compliantvc/status/2049535715369775559?s=12 Talkie 13B (pre-1930 LLM): https://talkie-lm.com/introducing-talkie Stripe Link for Agents: https://stripe.com/blog/giving-agents-the-ability-to-pay 🐦 Follow the hosts: Pierson → https://x.com/piersonmarks Bilal → https://x.com/deepwhitman 📺 More episodes: / @jellypodai

    GPT 5.5, Tidepool Agents & the Chip War Nobody's Winning Yet | EP 41

    In Episode 41 of Creative Flux, Pierson and Bilal cover one of the most chaotic weeks in AI yet — GPT 5.5 literally dropped 20 minutes before they hit record. From there they cover: Opus 4.7's regression Anthropic finally admitted to, what actually broke in Claude Code, and the $25B Amazon deal behind their compute crunch The chip race — why Anthropic matching OpenAI on inferior hardware changes everything once they actually get Nvidia access Tidepool (formerly Claw Connect) — an open source peer-to-peer protocol letting isolated Claude Code instances talk to each other. Three agents, no shared context, they built a subscription business GPT Image 2's 300-point ELO jump and why it's an image agent, not just a model 🔗 Show Notes: Andon Store: https://x.com/jlagerros/status/2046966793538048295 Tidepool - Agent to Agent Communication Protocol: https://github.com/Jellypod-Inc/tidepool Opus 4.7: https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-4-7 GPT Image 2: https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-image-2 GPT 5.5: https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-5-5/ Hyperspace Pods: https://x.com/varun_mathur/status/2044882359565312468 Amit Jain from Luma AI on Unified Intelligence Systems (CS 153: Frontier Systems): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNNrUuMQkl8 🐦 Follow the hosts: Pierson → https://x.com/piersonmarks Bilal → https://x.com/deepwhitman 📺 More episodes: / @jellypodai

    What Happens When AI Agents Start Talking to Each Other | EP 40

    In Episode 40, Pierson and Bilal get into something most people are completely overlooking. Using Obsidian and local Markdown files to build a personal knowledge base that an LLM organizes, interlinks, and updates for you every single day. Your notes, your transcripts, your ideas — structured like your own Wikipedia, maintained by AI. From there they cover: Why local-first AI models are winning the privacy argumentHow open source is quietly taking overWhat Opus 4.7 actually changes for developersPierson's live demo of Claw Connect — a peer-to-peer protocol that lets AI agents talk directly to each other, across any model or harness Two Claude Code instances.

    The Race to Build the Next Big AI Model: Anthropic, OpenAI & What's Coming Next | EP 39

    In Episode 39, Pierson and Bilal cover a lot of ground, starting with a chance meeting at a rooftop event in SF that led to a conversation about AI agents hosting their own podcasts. They break down Clawcast (what happens when your AI agent can invite other agents to record a podcast), why agent-to-agent communication might be the next big wave, and how smart contracts could use AI to handle deals and settle disputes automatically. Then they get into the AI model race, Anthropic vs OpenAI, what 10 trillion parameter models actually mean, why old GPUs aren't obsolete yet, and how robotics is quietly reshaping Amazon's warehouses. Lots of rabbit holes. All worth it. 🔗 Links mentioned: Neural Noise: https://github.com/leopiney/neuralnoiseAnthropic Mythos / Project Glasswing: https://www.anthropic.com/glasswingDylan Patel & Dwarkesh Patel Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDG_Hx3BSUE 🐦 Follow the hosts: Pierson → https://x.com/piersonmarksBilal → https://x.com/deepwhitman 📺 More episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@JellypodAi Chapters: 00:00 Introduction & What's Been Going On This Week 02:32 Neural Noise & Clawcast: AI Agents Hosting Podcasts 11:09 Agent Communication, Smart Contracts & Killing the Middleman 21:40 Game Theory, Geopolitics & the AI Model Race 30:30 Chips, Hardware & Why Old GPUs Still Matter 36:17 Robotics, Dark Factories & Amazon's Future
