Episode notes

Join Simtheory: - Join the most average AI LinkedIn group: It's 2026 and everyone's having an existential crisis. In this episode, we unpack the two camps dominating AI C/Twitter: hype boys claiming "Claude Code can do my washing" vs. software developers doom-scrolling themselves into career panic. We put the agentic hype to the test and discover that no, you can't actually run 8 agents recreating your local business ecosystem while you sleep. Plus, we reflect on why MCP is exhausting, why Gemini 3 Pro is somehow worse than Gemini 2.5 Pro, and why Geoffrey Hinton would rather write his book than answer questions in Tasmania. Also featuring: the $200,000/month enterprise AI problem, why SaaS isn't dead (but it's scared), and our prediction that AI workspaces will become the everything app.
