Tim Cook's Exit, the Trillion-Dollar Mythos Model, and Owning Your Own AI Memory
Episode Summary:
Brandt and Will open with Tim Cook stepping down as Apple CEO and what a hardware-first successor means for the future of on-device AI, then dig into Anthropic's newly revealed Mythos model, its eye-popping valuation, and Firefox's haul of 275 zero-days found with it. The back half turns practical: Will makes the case for "owning your own memory," and both trade tips on Claude chat vs. Cowork vs. Code and the caveman token-saving skill.
Discussions Include:
• Tim Cook stepping down as Apple CEO, and what a hardware-focused successor means for Apple's AI ambitions
• Anthropic's Mythos model: its trillion-dollar-plus valuation, deliberate limited release, and Firefox's 275-bug haul
• "Own your own memory": building a personal Obsidian/Markdown knowledge base so your AI agent knows you better
• Claude power tools: Karpathy's CLAUDE.md, the "superpowers" planning-and-QA skill, and the caveman token-saving skill
• AI-trained chroma keying from Corridor Crew, and the growing backlash against gas-powered data centers
