Episode Details

The episode focused on practical AI workflow design, especially how Fable fits as a high-cost planning and audit model rather than a default execution model. The hosts discussed compound engineering, verification loops, Caveman-style terse prompting, and how AI work changes communication habits. They also covered Microsoft Frontier Co and the broader move toward embedded AI engineering for enterprises. The final news segment debated Wired’s report on Meta’s Project Cannes and whether aggressive safety testing belongs inside companies, with contractors, or under stronger oversight.
