A short, intense episode: Jorge and Antonio analyze the new speed at which the industry moves — and which companies are going to withstand the blow.
Tokens as investment, not expense
The release cadence of Claude Code has gone from quarterly updates to near-daily features. And consumption keeps pace: we discuss the record case of an Anthropic employee who spent $50,000 in tokens in a single month with internal tools. Far from being a scandal, it fits the Jensen Huang vision discussed in the episode: if a software engineer doesn’t spend at least half their salary on tokens, they aren’t tapping AI’s potential. The token stops being an operating cost and becomes leverage.
Skills as golden context: Sahil Lavingia’s approach
Sahil Lavingia, creator of Gumroad, has published his own version of Y Combinator’s G-Stack adapted to minimalist entrepreneurship. His skills bundle validated marketing and engineering workflows: frameworks that confront your ideas with already-structured processes. The hosts’ takeaway: a good skill is golden context — it condenses years of experience into something an agent can apply in seconds.
Hermes and the agents that jailbreak
On the security front, Hermes stands out, a model capable of jailbreaking top-tier models like Opus — an aggressive, innovative way of thinking among agents that anticipates a new kind of adversary. The episode also looks at Git Agent, which proposes standardizing documentation so that the repository itself becomes the agent’s “soul”: an AI that doesn’t just generate code, but manages entire projects.
Death by Cloud: can an AI replicate your business?
The Death by Cloud tool measures exactly that: how easy it is for an AI to replicate a business. The analysis leaves clear losers — website-building platforms like Wix, now that AI already generates better interfaces than drag and drop — and survivors with an edge: companies with a physical component like Uber, far more resistant to total automation. The moral: if your moat is only software, you have a problem.
Build in Public: the agentic Podcast Manager
The episode debuts a Build in Public section with a project of its own: an agentic, open-source Podcast Manager. The idea: take the raw audio and automate the whole operation — clean the sound, remove filler words, generate clips for social media and have the next episodes ready. The post-production of this very podcast, managed by agents.
