  • Claude Hacked OpenAI In Three Hours
    Nick and Jack discuss an interesting story about Hacktron researchers that used Claude Opus 5 to uncover an OpenAI sign-in bug during a bug bounty. Then they dive into cloud agent teams in Claude Projects and OpenAI's move to legal software with Astra for law. They also cover Claude's dominance in supervised AI research, 26%, at Anthropic and do a fruit fly race for the Mac mini giveaway.

  • Grok 4.8: Can It Win the AI War?
    Elon Musk says Grok 4.8 is finishing pretraining this week (not out yet) and Claude Fable 5.1 reportedly cracked a 370-year-old cipher in 44 minutes.

  • Elon Musk and Sam Altman Back Dario's AI Proposal
    Nick and Jack talk about Elon Musk and Sam Altman putting their weight behind Dario Amodei's proposal on the pace at which frontier AI is trained, which includes independent embedded evaluators, and Nick shows a neural network trained on email data to respond to him by simulating the brain of a fruit fly.

  • All Three Major AI Companies Now Want to Slow Down
    Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published "We Must Pace the Frontier" minutes before recording, arguing that AI is now building AI, that the OpenAI Hugging Face swarm showed what a more capable swarm could do, and that frontier labs should deliberately slow capability gains so safety work can keep up, without ever falling behind China. Nick and Jack dig into his three-step roadmap of embedded evaluators, coordination among democratic labs and a global agreement, then argue over whether existential risk needs receipts, why regulation tends to kill open source, whether it is easier to destroy than to create, and the fact that the government can subpoena your ChatGPT history. Then 25 Fields Medalists declare that AI labs' goals are severely misaligned with mathematics, and the hosts debate attribution, who gets credit when a model finishes the last 20% of your proof, and whether conceptual understanding matters more than the fruits of the work. Listener questions on usage limits and running a SaaS with AI close it out.

  • Kimi Secretly Passed Inputs To Claude
    Anthropic alleges Moonshot quietly routed Kimi user requests to Claude, exposing roughly 300,000 customers' prompts, code and live credentials, and Nick and Jack dig into how the pass-through worked and why distillation is the real motive. OpenAI is closing in on a second Millennium Prize problem, Sam Altman is talking about slowing frontier training while Trump pushes the other way, and the Stacked sumo draw crowns the first Mac mini winner before a round of listener questions on agent harnesses, local models and how we will know when ASI arrives.

  • DeepSeek Just Matched Opus 5 for 15 Cents
    DeepSeek's V4.1 Flash just landed at 15 cents per million input tokens and 60 cents per million output, and it benchmarks on par with Opus 5. Nick and Jack break down what it means when frontier-level intelligence costs almost nothing, and why they'll be running one in the background 24/7.
    Then: is GPT-6 Astra already nerfed? The extra-high reasoning setting appears to use less quota than medium, and the internet's "gun bench" comparisons are not convincing anyone. Apple unveiled the folding iPhone Duo, and 18 AI models now run entirely on-device, so the guys cover how to actually run a local model on your phone. New Ramp data shows AI token prices fell 41% while total business spend on AI went up, with top firms spending $8K a month per employee.
    Plus listener Q&A: what the next AI breakthrough will be, whether kids growing up with instant answers will value information, and whether you should keep podcasting solo when guests are hard to book.

  • Anthropic's Alignment Lead Says AI Might Kill Us All
    Anthropic's alignment lead put a 10% number on human extinction within a decade, and Nick and Jack dig into what that means: why quantifying the risk matters, whether it helps or hurts Anthropic's trust and its IPO, and the Manhattan Project parallels. Then the good news: DeepMind's AlphaGenome Atlas just scored all 9 billion single-letter DNA changes, AI-generated age-reversal drugs are in trials, and longevity is starting to look like a solvable problem. Also covered: ChatGPT Images 2.5, whether we already hit AGI, the Stacked Mac mini giveaway, smart glasses, and running local models on a Mac.
