AI tools are getting faster, cheaper, and more capable, and also more fragile and overloaded. In this conversation, we talk honestly about what it’s like to build and work on top of Gemini, Opus, Claude, Cursor, and custom skills while everything around us accelerates.

We cover:

• Depending on the AI tools that keep timing out or routing unpredictably

• A wild story of Gemini 3 decoding a 5,000-line, non-standard XML system

• Why “code is abundant,” and experimentation is now incredibly cheap

• Data centers, Azure credits, and big tech behaving like energy companies

• Robots, drones, micro-factories, and hyper-personalized physical services

• New business opportunities in a world where platforms can copy you fast

• The rise of the experience economy and the craving for real-world connection

• Education, orchestration, and becoming a full-stack human + AI builder
