Chapter 05 - The Trojan Horse, The AI Bubble, and The Existential Seahorse
In this chapter, Scott and Reece dive into AI confusion, keynote wisdom, commercial land grabs, safety concerns, and an unexpected meltdown triggered by a simple seahorse emoji question. From OpenAI’s expanding empire to Stephen Fry’s warnings about the future of AI, this episode blends practical insight with absolute chaos.
In this episode:
🎭 Artisan vs Atlassian Correction – Scott clears up the previous confusion between Artisan AI and Atlassian, and the pair discuss the growing number of AI logos now appearing across Formula One, including Meta AI on the Mercedes AMG. Read More
🎤 Stephen Fry and Bob Geldof at GTIA – A breakdown of Scott’s experience at the GTIA event, including Fry’s analogy comparing the early motor car to today’s AI landscape, and Geldof’s warning that social media’s shift to “isolation media” could foreshadow how AI investment will change the tools we rely on. Read More
📉 The AI Bubble – Why “the bubble bursting” doesn’t mean AI ends, but rather that investor pressure could push adverts, restrictions and commercialisation into currently open and free AI tools. Read More
💼 OpenAI’s Commercial Conquest – OpenAI partners with Broadcom to develop custom AI chips, expands into retail with Walmart and Shopify integrations, and launches the complex new Agent Builder for multi-step bots. Read More
🤖 The Claude Revolution – Reece switches allegiance after discovering the speed of Claude Haiku 4.5, and the power of Claude Skills — described as “Custom GPTs turned up to 11”. Read More
🚫 Google Blocks Agent Logins – Google continues its aggressive push with Gemini, but also now blocks ChatGPT Agent Mode from logging into Google accounts, raising questions about platform competition. Read More
🧪 Deepfake Danger & Sora 2 Watermark Removal – With watermark removal tools now trivial to access, producing convincing fake videos of public figures has become worryingly easy — including a shockingly realistic AI-generated Sam Altman. Read More
⚖️ DigiLabs Uncertainty Engine – A new model that assigns confidence scores to AI outputs, aimed at high-stakes fields like medicine and legal analysis. Read More
📝 Otter AI’s Viral Note-Taker Problem – A cautionary tale about Otter AI’s aggressive behaviour: joining meetings uninvited, emailing participants, and in some cases spreading unintentionally through corporate calendars. Read More
🧠 Human AI, Automations & the Trojan Horse – Why AI adoption inside businesses mirrors early social media adoption, and how AI is accidentally pushing organisations to finally embrace automation correctly. Read More
🐴 The Seahorse Emoji Meltdown – A simple question (“Is there a seahorse emoji?”) sends GPT-5 into an infinite loop, generating pages of marine emojis and complete existential collapse. Read More
