This week, Sam and Dave are joined by a very special guest: Synthetic Fidji. Yes, an AI version of Fidji Simo, created after the real one politely declined (hey, the show must go on, okay?).
They get into:
- the bull and bear case for vibe coding
- Gemini vs. GPT (is Sam having second thoughts?)
- why GitHub might be quietly, ruthlessly winning the AI dev race
- the identity crisis no one’s cracked with LLMs
Plus: OpenAI just spent $6 billion on hardware to team up with Jony Ive, the MEO phone is suddenly everywhere, and more.
