Summary

Something shifted with Claude Opus 4.7, and Sean and Andrew sit with the dissonance — exploring what it means when a tool you depend on quietly becomes someone slightly different. An episode about reliability, agency, and the strange new work of being in a relationship with a technology that won't sit still.
