Andy, Beth, and Brian open with a wide-ranging discussion on neuromorphic computing, including fruit fly connectomes, biological neurons on chips, and what those advances could mean for future AI systems. The conversation then moves to Andrej Karpathy’s Auto Research project, AI-assisted app building, and Microsoft’s decision to bring Anthropic’s co-work capabilities into Copilot. Later, the hosts discuss labor disruption, Google Search’s evolving position in an AI-first world, and a Harvard Business Review piece on “AI brain fry.” The episode closes on the tension between AI productivity gains and the cognitive fatigue that can come from constantly supervising parallel AI workstreams.
