Show notes

In this Fully-Connected episode, Dan and Chris start with Anthropic's Mythos frontier model, parsing what is publicly known about its cybersecurity capabilities and projecting its possible implications from "We've been here before. ๐Ÿ™„" to "See ya, cybersecurity! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ" It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine. ๐Ÿ™ƒ
Then they have fun with the craziest AI announcement of the year (except for the Mythos one of course). Allbirds pivots from shoe manufacturing ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ to neocloud provider โ˜๏ธ. No, we didn't see that one coming either! ๐Ÿ™ˆ
They finish with rise of โ€œtokenmaxxingโ€ - the gamification ๐ŸŽฎ of writing code with maximum LLM usage. Incredibly profitable ๐Ÿ’ฐ for commercial frontier model providers and insanely expensive ๐Ÿค‘ for the gamers. Better have 10X productivity just to avoid bankruptcy!
