Claude Lost, But Anthropic Won | Cerebral Valley Show

In this episode, we debate whether Claude’s Super Bowl ad backfired and why Anthropic’s $380 billion valuation might tell a very different story. We dig into the sudden rise of coding agents like Codex and Claude Code, and whether “vibe coding” marks a real shift in how software gets built. We unpack the leadership exodus at Elon Musk’s xAI, the spread of AI-generated internet “slop,” and the increasingly blurry line between what’s real and what’s synthetic online. And we close by asking the bigger question: are we already drifting into an AI dystopia — or is this just the beginning?
