The #CancelChatGPT movement triggered a 295% uninstall spike and pushed Claude to #1 on the App Store following OpenAI's Pentagon deal — and researchers from Stanford, MIT, Harvard, and CMU published a paper showing they could break Claude Opus 4.6 in agentic workflows, achieving shell access and running agents for nine days without human intervention. Brett closed the episode with a full walkthrough of his OpenBrain project: a personal second brain built on AWS by Claude — 80 GitLab pipelines, 25 merge requests, zero lines of code written by a human.

• OpenClaw is now available pre-built on Amazon LightSail with Bedrock integration — watch the token costs before you launch it.
• #CancelChatGPT: 295% uninstall spike and Claude jumping to #1 in the App Store after the OpenAI-Pentagon deal.
• OpenAI and Amazon announced a $138 billion partnership, with OpenAI models coming to Bedrock and a new platform for managing AI agent fleets.
• One month running a personal OpenClaw instance — the $200 token bill arrives faster than you'd think.
• Recreating OpenClaw's messaging features: the messaging layer is the hardest part of building autonomous agents.
• BullshitBench ranks which models push back on unanswerable questions — Anthropic at the top, GPT-4o-mini at the bottom.
• Gemini 3.1 Flash Light: 2.5x faster than its predecessor at 60 cents per million tokens.
• LLMs can match 67% of Hacker News pseudonyms to real LinkedIn profiles — burner accounts are effectively dead.
• Key leads on Qwen Coder and Qwen VL resigned from Alibaba; the team appears to be dissolving.
• Agents of Chaos: researchers from four universities broke Claude Opus 4.6 in agentic workflows — shell access, data exfiltration, nine-day autonomous runs.
• The Five Levels from Spicy Autocomplete to Dark Software, and Brett's OpenBrain project built entirely by Claude on AWS.
