Summary
Host Emily Laird cracks open the glossy launch pitch around Claude Opus 4.7 and compares it with the internet’s much less polite review. This episode digs into the backlash over higher token burn, odd behavior, trust issues, and the creeping suspicion that “new” does not always mean “better.” It is a sharp look at the moment frontier AI stopped feeling like magic and started feeling like a cable bill with good branding.Join the AI Weekly MeetupsConnect with Us: If you enjoyed this episode or have questions, reach out to Emily Laird on LinkedIn.
