About this episode
Robbie and Adam discuss the chaotic state of AI development while enjoying whiskey from Muff Liquor Company.
This week, Robbie and Adam sip on whiskey from the Muff Liquor Company and dive deep into the chaotic state of AI development, Jensen Huang's wild claims about AGI and token spending, and whether we've accidentally turned developers into Ralph Wiggum loopers. They debate auto research workflows, day shift versus night shift coding strategies, the death of MCP servers, AI cow herding collars disrupting agriculture, and why Ghostty's Mitchell just joined Vercel's board. Along the way, they cover vertical terminal layouts, United's new relax row seating, OpenClaw's inability to follow instructions, and why scoring mechanisms might be the key to making AI actually useful.
