    When AI Business Models Collide

    Thursday’s show focused on the growing strategic divide between OpenAI and Anthropic, sparked by Sam Altman’s recent Cisco interview and Anthropic’s Super Bowl ad campaign. The discussion explored how scale, ads, enterprise subscriptions, and compute economics are forcing very different business models, and why those choices matter for trust, access, and long term AI development. The back half of the show covered Codex adoption, Gemini’s rapid growth, data portability between AI platforms, agent-driven labor disruption, and new research tooling like Paper Banana.

    OpenClaw and Moltbook - We Explain It All

    Monday’s show focused almost entirely on OpenClaw, MoltBook, and what happens when large numbers of autonomous agents are released into open systems. The discussion traced the origins of OpenClaw, the rapid explosion of MoltBook as an agent-only social network, and the serious security, cost, and governance concerns that surfaced within days.

  5. The Liquid Literacy Conundrum

    6D AGO

    The Liquid Literacy Conundrum

    Over the last six weeks, the center of gravity shifted. People spent 2024 learning how to talk to one model, now they manage systems where models talk to each other. Prompts still matter, but they increasingly hide inside workflows, agent routers, tool calls, and multi-step automation. That shift breaks the normal way professionals build competence, because the surface area you have to learn keeps changing faster than most teams can train, document, and standardize. The Conundrum: If AI skills now behave like a liquid, always taking the shape of the latest interface, model, or agent framework, what should you actually invest in? If you focus on the current tools and patterns, you stay effective, but your knowledge can expire quickly and you end up rebuilding your playbook every quarter. If you focus mainly on durable fundamentals, you build long-term leverage, but you risk falling behind on the practical methods that deliver results right now. How do you choose what to learn, teach, and operationalize, when the payoff window for tool-specific mastery keeps shrinking, but ignoring the tools also carries a real performance penalty?
