Hey everyone, December started strong and does NOT want to slow down!? OpenAI showed us their response to the Code Red and it’s GPT 5.2, which doesn’t feel like a .1 upgrade!

Besides Kimi, we covered the updated MCP thinking from Anthropic, and had Kenton Varda from cloudflare as a guest to talk about Code Mode, chatted about Windsurf and Cursor latest updates and covered OpenAI’s insane

Hey everyone, Alex here 👋We’re deep in the post-reality era now. Between Sora2, the latest waves of video models, and “is-that-person-real” cameos, it’s getting genuinely hard to trust what we see. Case in point: I recorded a short clip with (the real) Sam Altman this week and a bunch of friends thought I faked it with Sora-style tooling. Someone even added a fake Sora watermark just to mess with people. Welcome to 2025.This week’s episode and this write-up focus on a few big arcs we’re all living
