What this episode covers
Anthropic claims its new model, Claude 4.5, can code autonomously for 30 hours straight, but Hunter Powers and Daniel Bishop put that boast to the test and reveal it collapses after roughly ten minutes without human feedback. Along the way, they debate whether AI automation is genuine progress or just “automation theater,” and why Meta’s humanoid-robot ambitions may prove the same illusion on a larger scale.
