Show Notes
Andrew and Justin catch up after a Super Bowl that was chock full of various AI ads. The two touch on the ongoing feud between Anthropic and OpenAI over ads, partially fought out, ironically enough, in those very same ad campaigns. After talking through OpenAI's own Codex ad and the launch of its standalone Mac app, the two tackle compute constraints, Elon's pivot to the moon, and more.
