Users seeking to delete social accounts

Episode 600 opened with Beth hosting solo before Andy and then Carl joined. They reflected on the show’s long run and joked about the chaotic start due to technical issues and multiple versions of the studio running at once. Beth highlighted how Gemini 3’s image creation, especially “Nano Banana Pro,” is producing highly accurate layouts with readable text. The group discussed how far multimodal models have evolved and how different tools now specialize in different strengths. The rest of the episode covered AI agents, Codex Max, Gemini prompting, SEO disruption, group chats in ChatGPT, and how users are shifting their habits across platforms.
