Ep. 62: Is AI Going to Kill Us All? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is AI actually going to kill us all?There's been a ton of talk about this topic in the media lately, and so I'm dedicating an episode to sharing my thoughts. Spoiler alert, no, I don’t think that AI is going to kill us, but that doesn’t mean that this technology has no risk. I walk through the Jacob Coxon resignation thread and the fact that Anthropic's own alignment team admits there's genuine risk, then get into why the doom talk feels more irresponsible than credible. I don't think regulation
Ep. 61: Everyone Gets an Agent: Meta Muse and the Ongoing Race to AGI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode I talk about the eleventy billion AI models that dropped in the past few weeks, including Anthropic's Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1, OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, and Meta's new Muse agent. I get into former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon's resignation and his warning about AI risk, plus what it actually means that OpenAI just rated Astra "Critical" for cybersecurity capability. I also share why I think Meta Muse is a terrible idea and what all of these model drops say about the direction A

Along the way I discuss the role of the system at large, and round the episode out by diving into an equally exciting topic for me: how AI use
Ep. 59: WTF Is a Frontier Model? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode I break down WTF a frontier model actually is, starting with what most people assume the term means versus the real technical definition. I cover how "frontier model" got coined in 2023, and why the term even came about at all, and how self-naming benefitted its creators. A bit of an etymology episode, this episode is more about the background of the term, and explores how new open weight models are challenging the definition. Main Topics Covered WTF is a frontier model?Most peop
Ep. 58: WTF are Claude Skills? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode I break down the best way to teach Claude how to complete specific tasks in a repeatable way: Claude Skills. I explain how Skills work, walk through how to build your own, and cover the real differences between Skills and Projects. As per always, the best way to understand this stuff is to try it yourself first hand, but hopefully this episode will give you some ideas and a nice jumpstart. Main Topics Covered What Claude Skills areDefinition of Skills (from Anthropic)How Skills l
