Episode Details

This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis ask whether we're witnessing the end of software, as developer Brandon Thomas uses Claude to build free, open-source clones of Microsoft Office and Adobe's Creative Suite while AI-decompiled versions of Halo, GTA, and Call of Duty run right in a browser tab. They also dig into OpenAI's release of 722 AI-written math papers and the backlash from mathematicians.

Also in this episode: Jason shares his early access experience with Gemini 4 Argon, Meta launches its closed Muse Wonder models, the FBI arrests an OpenAI engineer accused of planting a hidden recording device, Anthropic warns about AI self-replicating on smart TVs, and Google Play opens up to personal vibe-coded apps. New episodes every Wednesday at aiinside.show.
