Your AI Setup Is Making It Dumber

Claude Code, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and AI agent setups: Are we overbuilding our AI agent setups? In episode 2, Thomas Bekkers and Rudy Faile talk about why lean CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md files and plain coworker-style prompting are replacing bloated agent setups, and what still belongs in skills. We compare Handy and Wispr Flow, ask whether AI reverse engineering is putting closed-source software and SaaS at risk, and discuss Elon Musk's announcement that Grokbot will route tasks to the best backend model, including Opus 5.5 (announced; the rollout is unverified). We also look at Kindlefall, the action RPG Rudy built by talking to an AI agent while he played it, and we close on P(doom) versus P(gloom). AI PSYCHOSIS | Business Meets Tech Conversations about what we're building, what's useful, and what's overhyped.
