Bot Sitting and Bot S#%tting

The hosts opened with a welcome for new listeners before Anne introduced a discussion on “bot sitting,” AI fatigue, and the hidden cognitive load of supervising coding agents. They explored token pressure, AI burnout, colleague protocols, Hermes workflows, and how multi-model routing could reduce cost and friction. The show also covered future AI work roles, expectations in human-AI collaboration, Meta’s Brain-to-QWERTY research, Qualcomm buying Modular, Anthropic’s California deal, OpenAI’s Booz Allen and Hewlett Packard partnerships, and new Gemini personal intelligence features.
