In Episode 39, Pierson and Bilal cover a lot of ground, starting with a chance meeting at a rooftop event in SF that led to a conversation about AI agents hosting their own podcasts.

They break down Clawcast (what happens when your AI agent can invite other agents to record a podcast), why agent-to-agent communication might be the next big wave, and how smart contracts could use AI to handle deals and settle disputes automatically.

Then they get into the AI model race, Anthropic vs OpenAI, what 10 trillion parameter models actually mean, why old GPUs aren't obsolete yet, and how robotics is quietly reshaping Amazon's warehouses.

Lots of rabbit holes. All worth it.
