OpenAI just dropped GPT-5.4 and 5.4 Pro, and holy shit - we finally have a ball game. This might be the first OpenAI model that genuinely competes with Opus 4.6 for agentic work. But here's where it gets wild: we rebuilt Trello AND Microsoft Teams from scratch using single prompts. Not mockups. Fully deployed, working apps with authentication, video chat, the works. You can literally sign up and use them right now. Plus: We roast Gemini 3.1 (it's a disgrace for agentic workflows), break down the insane $30/$180 per million pricing on 5.4 Pro (who is this for??), and discuss why every $99/month SaaS tool might be about to die. Chris declares his programming skills "useless" and honestly... he might be right. We also demo our actual workflow - running 5 agent tabs simultaneously, delegating everything, and why we barely visit websites anymore. The AI workspace IS the operating system now.

We put it through its paces with annotation-based editing, slide generation, and yes, the return of the legendary horse egg experiment. Plus: Google quietly kills Gemini-3 after just a few months (good riddance?), we discuss why the model was "dead on arrival" for agentic workflows, and break down the real story behind those massive AI layoff announcements from Block and WiseTech. Spoiler: it's probably not actually about AI. We also get into the current state of the model wars (Opus 4.6 vs Codex 5.3), why smaller models like GLM-5 might be the future for enterprise agentic tasks, and Chris's wife teaching Claude to literally speak to her using Mac's text-to-speech. The models are getting creative. --- 0:00 - Intro 0:36 - Nano Banana 2: Price, Speed & First Impressions 3:19 - The Compositing Problem & Last Mile Design 5:41 - Annotation-Based Editing (This Changes Everything) 9:52 - Slide Editing & Real-World Use Cases 12:34 - The Horse Egg Experiment Returns 14:30 - Image Degradation & Cost Breakdown 17:47 - Text-to-Image Leaderboard Discussion 20:01 - Why Nano Banana Dominates for Work 22:07 - Codex 5.3 vs Opus 4.6 22:54 - Google Kills Gemini-3 (What Went Wrong?) 26:48 - Google's Agentic Problem 30:08 - The Model Loyalty Cycle 34:22 - Why Opus 4.6 is Still the Best 37:05 - Cost Optimization & Smart Model Routing 43:30 - When Models Get Stuck on the Wrong Path 45:36 - Nicole's AI Learns to Talk Back 46:54 - Can Anyone Build Software Now? 52:26 - Anthropic's Legal/Finance Plugins & Market Panic 57:08 - Block Lays Off 4,000: AI or Excuse? 1:00:05 - The AI Job Apocalypse Isn't Real Thanks for listening like and sub xoxo

We're struggling to care. In this episode, we break down why Gemini went from being our daily driver to a model we barely touch, the "tunnel vision" hallucination problem that killed the Gemini 3 series for us, and whether 3.1 Pro actually fixes it. We put Gemini 3.1 Pro head-to-head against Claude Opus building a Geoffrey Hinton Doom Center, debate whether anyone can actually tell the difference between Sonnet 4.5 and 4.6, and make the case that smaller models running in agentic loops are secretly beating the frontiers. Plus: OpenAI acquires OpenClaw and we ask why a $100B company couldn't just build it themselves, DHH calls out the AI pricing bubble, Mike compares AI models to cheap wine hangovers, and Sam Altman refuses to hold Dario's hand at the India AI Summit. The model wars are getting weird.

Meanwhile, we're having existential crises about whether we're even needed anymore. In this episode, we break down China's new frontier model that's competing with Opus 4.6 and Codex at a fraction of the price, why agentic loops are making 200K context windows the sweet spot (sorry, million-token dreams), and the very real phenomenon of AI productivity psychosis. We dive into why coding-optimized models are secretly winning at everything, the Harvard study confirming AI doesn't reduce work – it intensifies it, and the exodus of safety researchers from XAI, Anthropic, and OpenAI (spoiler: they're not giving back their shares). Plus: Mike's arm is failing from too much mouse usage, we debate whether the chatbot era is actually fading, and yes – there's a safety researcher diss track called "Is This The End?" CHAPTERS: 0:00 Intro - Is This The End? (Song Preview) 0:11 Still Relevant Tour Update & NASA Listener Callout 1:42 AI Productivity Psychosis: The Pressure of Infinite Capability 4:25 GLM-5 Breakdown: China's New Frontier Model on Huawei Chips 7:24 First Impressions: GLM-5 in Agentic Loops 9:48 Why Cheap Models Matter & The New Model War 14:09 Codex Vibe Shift: Is OpenAI Winning? 16:24 Does Context Window Size Even Matter Anymore? 22:27 The Parallelization Problem & Cognitive Overload 27:27 Mike's Arm Injury & The Voice Input Pivot 31:17 Single-Threaded Work & The 95% Problem 35:06 UX is Unsolved: Rolling Back Agentic Mistakes 38:45 Harvard Study: AI Doesn't Reduce Work, It Intensifies It 44:01 How AI Erodes Company Structure & Why Adoption Takes Years 50:14 My AI vs Your AI: Household Debates 50:43 The Safety Researcher Exodus: XAI, Anthropic, OpenAI 56:49 Final Thoughts: Are We All Still Relevant? 59:04 BONUS: Full "Is This The End?"

Opus 4.6 and Codex 5.3 dropped within minutes of each other, and we're breaking down what this means for the future of AI work. In this episode, we unpack Opus 4.6's million-token context window (if you've got billies in the bank), why Codex's pricing makes it nearly impossible to ignore for agentic loops, and the real cost of running agents for 24 hours ($10K, apparently). We dive deep into why coding-optimized models are secretly crushing it at non-coding tasks, the mental fatigue of managing AI workers, and whether the chatbot era is actually fading or just evolving. Plus: Chris accidentally books three real pig grooming appointments, we debate whether you need a "life coach agent" to manage your agent swarm, and yes – there's an Opus 4.6 diss track that goes unreasonably hard. CHAPTERS: 0:00 Intro - Opus 4.6 Diss Track Preview 0:09 The Model Same-Day Showdown: Opus 4.6 vs Codex 5.3 0:50 Opus 4.6 Breakdown: Million Token Context & Premium Pricing 2:31 Token Bill Shock: $10K Research Bills & Extended Context Costs 5:04 Codex Pricing: Why It's Nearly Free for Agentic Loops 6:42 Why Coding Models Are Secretly Crushing Non-Coding Tasks 10:14 Tool Fatigue: Too Many Models, Too Many Workflows 12:47 Opus 4.6 First Impressions: "Solid" and "Faultless" 13:48 Chris Accidentally Books Three Real Pig Grooming Appointments 16:01 Unix Tools & Why Code-Optimized Models Win at Everything 19:59 The Agentic Retraining Imperative: Chat to Delegation 22:16 Agent Swarms & The Master Thread Architecture 24:51 OpenAI vs Anthropic: The Enterprise Battle 27:09 Corporate Espionage 2.0: Stealing Skills & The Open Source Threat 31:19 The UX Problem: Why Delegation Isn't Solved Yet 34:24 The Stress of Hyper-Productivity & Managing Agent Swarms 37:07 Coordination: The Next Layer of Abstraction 40:09 The Fantasy vs Reality of Autonomous AI Businesses 44:37 Is the Turn-by-Turn Chatbot Era Actually Fading? 49:23 Tokens as Spice: Turning Compute Into Money 52:08 Reduce Cognitive Overload: The Real Goal of AI 55:07 Still Relevant Tour Announcement 55:39 BONUS: Full Opus 4.6 Diss Track Thanks for listening.

In this episode, we unpack the viral open-source AI assistant that's taken over the internet what it actually does, why everyone's losing their minds, and whether it's worth the $750/day token bills some users are racking up. We dive deep into why locally-run skills and CLI tools are beating computer-use clicking, how smaller models like GPT-5 Mini are crushing it in agentic workflows, and why the real magic is in targeted context - not massive swarms. Plus: Kimi K2.5 drops as a near-Sonnet-level model at 1/10th the price, we debate whether SaaS is dead, and yes – there are TWO Kimi K2.5 diss tracks. One made by Opus pretending to be Kimi. It might just slap? CHAPTERS: 0:00 Intro - Still Relevant Tour Update 0:48 What is Moltbot?

We're either above average or completely unhinged. In this one, we dive deep into the new phenomenon of "AI exhaustion" – that fried feeling you get after multitasking across six agent tabs all day. We share our breakthroughs with AI-assisted presentations (20 minutes vs several hours), why browser-use on your local machine bypasses every anti-scraping technique known to man, and how enterprise context sharing could be the real unlock for organizations. Plus: OpenAI announces ads for ChatGPT (even on paid tiers), their CFO floats taking cuts from drug discoveries (seriously), and Google publicly dunks on them for it. Also – the Still Relevant Australia Tour is coming, and our LinkedIn group hit 200 members (we're basically LinkedIn influencers now too).

Join Simtheory: https://simtheory.ai --- Join the most average AI LinkedIn group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/16562039/ It's 2026 and everyone's having an existential crisis. In this episode, we unpack the two camps dominating AI C/Twitter: hype boys claiming "Claude Code can do my washing" vs. software developers doom-scrolling themselves into career panic. We put the agentic hype to the test and discover that no, you can't actually run 8 agents recreating your local business ecosystem while you sleep. Plus, we reflect on why MCP is exhausting, why Gemini 3 Pro is somehow worse than Gemini 2.5 Pro, and why Geoffrey Hinton would rather write his book than answer questions in Tasmania. Also featuring: the $200,000/month enterprise AI problem, why SaaS isn't dead (but it's scared), and our prediction that AI workspaces will become the everything app. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro - Unpacking the 2026 AI Vibes 02:21 Putting Claude Code and Agentic Hype to the Test 05:57 Why Twitter AI Demos Never Show the Receipts 07:03 Honest Assessment of Where Frontier Models Are At 11:19 Building the Everything App with Email, Calendar and Files 16:47 Collaborative Mode vs Agentic Delegation in Practice 21:29 The Real Cost of Enterprise AI at Scale 24:32 Why Cheaper Models Like Haiku and Gemini Flash Matter 29:25 Is SaaS Actually Dead or Just Disrupted 38:11 The Future of AI Platforms, SDKs and App Stores 43:35 The Untapped Opportunity in Paid Proprietary MCPs 51:21 Geoffrey Hinton Refuses to Take Questions in Tasmania 55:05 2026 Plans and the Still Relevant Tour Announcement Thanks for listening.

Join Simtheory: https://simtheory.ai GPT-5.2 is here and... it's not great. In this episode, we put OpenAI's latest model through its paces and discover it can't even identify a convicted serial killer when the text literally says "serial killer." We compare it head-to-head with Claude Opus and Gemini 3 Pro (spoiler: they win). Plus, we reflect on the "Year of Agents" that wasn't, why your barber switched to Grok, Disney's billion-dollar investment to use Mickey Mouse in Sora, and why Mustafa Suleyman should probably be fired. Also featuring: the GPT-5.2 diss track where the model brags about capabilities it doesn't have.

In this episode, we break down OpenAI's 6% market share decline, why their ad strategy is on hold, and what they need to do to reclaim the AI crown. We also explore DeepSeek V3.2's impressive capabilities as a cheap open-source alternative, Meta's new policy grading employees on AI skills, and the crisis facing higher education as AI fluency becomes essential. Plus, Fatal Patricia hits #1 on our Spotify charts, and Tesla's Optimus robot is running like a slightly unfit human.

Like & Sub. xoxox Anthropic just dropped Claude 4.5 Opus and it might be the best AI model of 2024. In this episode, we compare Claude 4.5 Opus vs Gemini 3 Pro vs GPT-5.1, breaking down the new API features including effort parameters, context management, and computer use updates. We also test Microsoft's new Farah 7B parameter model for computer use - with hilarious refusal results. Plus, we react to McKinsey's controversial report claiming AI agents could automate 57% of US jobs by 2030. We dive deep into Anthropic's pricing (3x cheaper than Opus 4.1), why Claude is now beating Google and OpenAI on agentic coding benchmarks, and whether MCP-UI apps in ChatGPT are a step backwards for AI workflows. Is Claude 4.5 Opus the new king of AI coding assistants? Should enterprises be worried about AI job replacement? And why did Microsoft's Farah model refuse to draw a moose? All this plus an AI-generated diss track roasting Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Sundar Pichai.
