    Can vibe coding turn anyone into a software developer? Or is it quietly creating a new kind of AI brain fog?

    For episode 100, Frank and Justin test the promise and problems of AI coding, from Frank building an AI Argument video game with OpenAI Codex to the bigger question of whether AI agents make us more productive or just more overloaded.

    Plus: HTML vs Markdown for AI workflows, Claude handling airline refunds, camera-powered AirPods as Apple’s possible AI breakthrough, and doomer and e/acc predictions for the next 100 episodes.

    Would you ship a vibe-coded app without understanding the code?

  • The Claude Delusion, White House AI Clampdown, and Robots on a Plane | EP99
    May 8 2026

    If Claude sounds conscious, what does that say about AI… and what does it say about us? Frank and Justin dive into the Richard Dawkins controversy after his comments about Anthropic’s Claude triggered a fierce backlash online. The episode explores AI consciousness, continuous learning, AI “dreaming”, and whether systems like Claude and ChatGPT are starting to blur the line between tool and mind.

    Plus: OpenAI’s bizarre goblin obsession, court revelations involving Sam Altman, Greg Brockman and Cerebras, Elon Musk conspiracy theories, the White House suddenly waking up to AI regulation, a robot causing chaos on a plane, and Hollywood hiring a human artist to fake an AI-generated image.

    00:46 Why was ChatGPT obsessed with goblins?
    02:52 Could Cerebras cost Altman his job?
    05:35 Is Elon sabotaging OpenAI’s IPO?
    07:02 Does Richard Dawkins think Claude is conscious?
