And the AI coding wars got brutal: Cursor vs Codex vs Claude Code, the SaaSpocalypse, plus a full Ozempic breakdown.Episode 14 with guest Dr Dan (ex-Google, now a master vibe coder building OmniHarness.dev). Rik, Ben and Dan go deep on the $1.75 trillion SpaceX IPO and the plan to acquire Cursor, why Karpathy joining Anthropic flipped the script, whether B2B SaaS is already a one-click clone, and the real economics behind every AI coding subscription. Then a full breakdown of retatrutide, semaglutide and the peptide wave: why Ozempic is $20 from China and $400 everywhere else.Nothing here is financial or medical advice.CHAPTERS00:00 Cold open + who's on the show (Dr Dan, ex-Google)02:50 SpaceX files the biggest IPO in history ($1.75T)05:00 Data centers in space & Elon's master narrative09:45 SpaceX wants Cursor: does Cursor have a moat?14:00 Codex built an app in 7 hours while he slept17:00 He fired 18 people & cloned a $34k SaaS from a call19:00 Does Google copy your app?

Anthropic just shook hands with SpaceX. Codex now has 100x more downloads than Claude Code. Anthropic stacked $380 billion in compute and 10% of America's data center capacity in one week.The agent layer is winning. Codex 46M downloads vs Claude Code 491K. Anthropic + SpaceX partnership doubles rate limits with multi-gigawatt orbital compute on the roadmap. Code with Claude 2026 ships Dreaming + multi-agent orchestration — every announcement was platform, not model. Friend of the pod Alan from the Philippines joins to break down Hermes vs OpenClaw (Honda vs Ferrari, credit Gary Tan). Luca calls PrintingPress.dev "the new WordPress." Apple iOS 27 picks Claude + Gemini, OpenAI nowhere on the list. Google Fitbit Air drops at $99 one-time vs Whoop's $260/year. Neuralink hits 21 people typing 40 wpm with their thoughts. And the closer: Ryan Cohen's "half cash, half stock" CNBC interview — the most engineered viral moment in business of 2026.Three builders. Weekly AI news. No fluff.The big thesis: compute won the lab war. Agents are about to win the app war.If you're building anything in 2026, the question isn't "is SaaS dead" — it's who builds the Hermes for everyone else?🎙️ Hosts:Rik — x.com/rikventureBen Broch — x.com/brochchainLuca Arrigo — x.com/LucaArrigo_Watch on YouTube → https://youtube.com/@godmodepodSubstack → https://godmodepod.substack.com/
