023 - AI in Hollywood, Mining Innovations, Memory Models, and Podcast Automation

Ryan, Kevin, and Travis return for a news roundup and announce Kevin’s resignation from Microsoft after getting funded for a startup applying “human-led, agent-operated” AI to small, underserved mining operations (Kai Radian). Listener feedback highlights Tauric Research, a multi-agent financial trading framework with analyst, research, trader, and portfolio-manager roles, raising concerns about overconfidence and automation. They discuss Anthropic previewing Claude’s “dreaming” memory consolidation and frame “harnesses” as orchestration/scaffolding that improves signal, manages context, and mixes deterministic workflows with LLM judgment, including models checking each other. They cover Anthropic using SpaceX’s Colossus I compute in Memphis to boost Claude Code limits, Mozilla using Claude Mythos to find 271 bugs in a month, reports that 39% of new podcasts are AI-generated “slop,” and a four-year Actors Guild deal adding AI protections for voice/likeness and writers’ rights.00:00 Welcome Back Updates00:52 Kev Leaves Microsoft01:37 Mining Startup Vision04:18 Mine Talk Banter04:48 Listener Feedback Trading Agents09:11 Claude Dreaming Memory12:58 What Is A Harness17:57 Determinism Vs Judgment20:58 Anthropic SpaceX Compute26:54 Mythos Finds Firefox Bugs30:22 AI Security Attack Vectors31:21 AI Podcast Flooding34:33 AI Slop in Communities38:25 Brain Atrophy and AI39:51 Actors Guild AI Protections44:31 Oscars and Human Eligibility49:07 Democratizing Creativity52:46 Human Storytelling Matters54:08 Wrap Up and Feedback This is a public episode.
