AI Didn't Invent These Problems

Tim and Paul break down Anthropic's Fable 5 pricing disconnect, the dav1d assembly decoder that outraced higher-level implementations, and why Agile's 2001 playbook stumbles when agents build apps in hours. They critique the hype around autonomous agent loops, highlighting the real constraints—budgets, tests, and decision quality—that determine whether AI accelerates value or just incinerates tokens. It's a tight hour on the shifting boundaries of craft, process, and the problems AI reveals but can't solve on its own.
