This (sometimes weekly*) podcast delivers an hour-long conversation about their thoroughly middle-of-the-road adventures with AI. No PhDs. No Silicon Valley insights. Just two guys with enough technical knowledge to be dangerous, sharing their unexceptional yet entertaining experiences with AI tools and technology. Subscribe now to hear: • Mediocre hot takes on AI developments • Stories of AI experiments gone adequately okay • The most average advice you'll ever need • Two Sharkeys trying their best to sound smart about algorithms • Childish AI prank calls that somehow fool everybody • Attempts at using AI for phishing attacks on their mother • \"Chart-topping\" AI songs according to the brothers Join our perfectly mediocre community where being average at AI is celebrated, questions are encouraged, and learning through mistakes is our specialty. Because let's face it - most of us are figuring this out as we go along. New episodes drop whenever we remember to record them. 🎙️ Proudly supported by Simtheory.…","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-day-in-ai-podcast"},"episode":{"title":"Did Clawdbot Just Show Us the Future of AI Workers? & Kimi K2.5 Dis Track Tested - EP99.32","slug":"did-clawdbot-just-show-us-the-future-of-ai-workers-kimi-k2-5-dis-track-tested-ep99-32","published_at":"2026-01-30T01:55:15+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-day-in-ai-podcast/did-clawdbot-just-show-us-the-future-of-ai-workers-kimi-k2-5-dis-track-tested-ep99-32","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-day-in-ai-podcast","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/7924f503","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/7924f503/df78e4fc.mp3","summary":"Join Simtheory: https://simtheory.ai Register for the STILL RELEVANT tour: https://simulationtheory.ai/16c0d1db-a8d0-4ac9-bae3-d25074589a80 --- The hype train is 2026 knows only Moltbot (RIP Clawdbot). In this episode, we unpack the viral open-source AI assistant that's taken over the internet what it actually does, why everyone's losing their minds, and whether it's worth the $750/day token bills some users are racking up. We dive deep into why locally-run skills and CLI tools are beating computer-use clicking, how smaller models like GPT-5 Mini are crushing it in agentic workflows, and why the real magic is in targeted context - not massive swarms. Plus: Kimi K2.5 drops as a near-Sonnet-level model at 1/10th the price, we debate whether SaaS is dead, and yes – there are TWO Kimi K2.5 diss tracks. One made by Opus pretending to be Kimi.
