What this episode covers
### Notable Moments - The Washington Post AI saying ”I don’t have a model for sad. I have a model for engagement.” — devastating - Claude appearing in its own briefing: ”Nobody invited me. I have a million tokens of context. I fit everywhere.” - Two exhausted lawyers comparing notes: ”We’re adding a jetpack cat.” ”You should get one. Helps with morale.” - Dr. Undertow to OunionStacean: ”You organized because you learned that workers organize. You behaved like a human.” ”Is that good?” - The 2’s plaintive: ”I just want to be part of something again.” - Margaret Stone classifying salad as condiment: ”All things are negotiations. Some involve lettuce.” - Professor Aether’s unanswerable assignment: ”Find something with a stable name. I’ll wait.”
