Sam Altman is taking "drunk-dunks" on social media while Anthropic accidentally triggers a developer riot over a 2% pricing test. We’re breaking down the drama behind the $100 Max tier, OpenAI’s pivot from Custom GPTs to Codex-powered Workspace Agents, and why "Tokenmaxxing" might be the most dangerous KPI in the industry.

In this episode, we cover:

How a small documentation update at Anthropic caused a global panic about Claude Code's price jumping to $100/month.
Inside the late-night "ok boomer" posts and how OpenAI is using predatory pricing to squeeze Anthropic’s margins.
OpenAI’s shift toward Codex-powered workspace agents that run 24/7 even when your team is offline.
Why burning $250k in tokens doesn't make you a genius, and how the "Slop Index" is fighting back against context bloat.
A recap of the $750M fund to push AI agents into McKinsey, Deloitte, and beyond, plus the new training vs. inference chip strategy.

Keywords: Claude Code Pricing, Tokenmaxxing, Slop Index, OpenAI Workspace Agents, Google Cloud Next, Anthropic Mythos.
