Security scans and threat assessments improve code quality
βThe first thing that I did, which I'm not gonna show you for what will become very obvious reasons, is we used OpenAI's codec security product to run a threat assessment and security scan on the chat PRD code base. And it was pretty good. We're we're pretty secure. But it did come up with some low priority or low severity issues that we needed to remediate. And instead of taking those one by one, what I did is I downloaded the CSV of those issues, upload it to codex, and just said, can you please architecturally review these issues, group them if they're thematic, and then propose a change and then make those changes.β
Media coverage mirrored the Lindy Chamberlain trial
βThe press published some of the most damning expert opinions from the police statement of facts, including Dr. Ophoven's belief that the odds of all four Folbigg children dying of unexplained natural causes was one in a trillion. Accompanied by the excerpt from Kathleen's diary in which she compared herself to her murderous father, it didn't take long before she was considered guilty in the court of public opinion.β
Personality commands fix the default baked potato tone
βThe only thing I will leave you with it it is is that it has the, as I call it, baked potato personality that we've all come to know and love from codex. It is a dull, dull, dullard. But I learned over the testing of this, if you do slash personality in codex, you're able to change that to something a little friendlier. And while some of my fellow early testers said it had too much of a Gen z personality, I said, I like to stay young. Give me that Gen z, GPT 5.5.β
Bluetooth packet sniffing enabled hacking a proprietary speaker
βSo what I did is I spent truly hours downloading a Bluetooth profiling profile on my phone for developer debugging. I then hooked it up to sorry, I'm crazy, hooked it up to a packet sniffer so that when I was using the app here on my phone and it sent an image to this computer, it would log and sniff the packets and tell me what Bluetooth was sending to this this little guy. I threw these logs and kind of all the information that I had at five point five, and let me show you what happened.β
Craig Folbigg eventually testified against his wife
βI've lived with the shame of coming and changing that story, he said. I've felt that I couldn't protect those children in life, and I certainly didn't protect them in death. With Craig back on their side and agreeing to testify against Kathleen, the detectives were finally ready to make their move.β
Meadows Law dictated the police investigation strategy
βWhen it came to the unexplained death of an infant, one was a tragedy, two were suspicious, and three most likely pointed to murder. After reviewing the case, one police psychologist concluded, If natural causes are eliminated, then, in my opinion, Kathleen Folbigg became angry and frustrated with her children's crying and need for constant attention to a point where it overwhelmed her.β
Antioch bridges the simulation to real robotics gap
βWhat Antioch is trying to do right here is let robot builders spin up digital instances of their hardware and then connect them to simulated sensors that actually replicate the data that the robot is going to be experiencing in reality. So right now, they're focusing on sensor and perception systems, which is kind of where I think a lot of complexity lives for autonomous cars and trucks. And they're also going to be looking at drones, agricultural machinery, a lot of construction equipment.β
βNow I'm glad it's more efficient because it is expensive. GPT 5.5 is $5 per million input tokens and $30 for output tokens. And GPT 5.5 pro, which has powered all this work that I've been doing, is 30 for a million input tokens and a $180 for output tokens. So this is a pricey one, but when I reflect on what I was able to achieve with this model in early testing, I'm gonna I'm gonna pay I'm gonna pay the intelligence tax because I think what I was able to achieve is really important.β
Six hour autonomous runs solve complex data migrations
βThis thing worked for six hours. It was actually five hours and, like, fifty seven minutes. Truly, it just banged its head against the wall for six hours. And I did not have to I zero prompts, zero follow ups, zero steering. I think I had to approve one, script call or something for it to have access to run-in its sandbox. But, otherwise, it just went for six hours. I have not seen personally, everybody says, oh, I'm getting my agent to run overnight. I have not seen it until GPT five point five in a very constrained use case.β
Experts calculated astronomical odds against natural causes
βThe statistical likelihood that four children could die from SIDS is in excess of one in a trillion. As the children had all been growing normally and their autopsies identified no sign of disease, Dr Opphoven believed that all four of them had been suffocated by the last person to see them aliveβ Kathleen Folbigg.β
Upscale AI seeks a 2 billion valuation without products
βI think the fact that they're 7 months old, and they have no products, and they're talking about a $2 billion valuation is absolutely incredible. I also think it is logical, given a lot of things in the environment, right? So I think the conviction in the AI infrastructure layer is really big right now. Investors believe that whoever controls the next gen of AI compute infrastructure is going to capture, I think, just so much value. So I think a lot of VCs, a lot of investors are placing bets before there's a product.β
Anthropic rejects investment at an 80 billion valuation
βWe've also got reports today that Anthropic is turning down investors that are begging them to let them invest into Anthropic at an $800 billion valuation, which by the way is double what their last valuation was. So honestly, some of these companies that are on absolute tear right now, and I think people can see where a lot of like, the infrastructure is going to be in a similar place. Some of these companies that are growing super fast are just saying no to investors, and they're just not raising money right now, because maybe they think they can do better in the future.β
Model thinking time exceeds seventeen minutes for apps
βFirst out the gate, it's a thinker. So you can see here it thought for seventeen minutes twenty seven seconds about this. You were gonna have this experience with this model. This is gonna be a theme of this mini episode, this thing will think. And it planned a app for advanced subtraction, built the code, all this kind of stuff. Now here's my question. Do we need seventeen minutes of hyperintelligence thinking to build this app? Probably not.β
Avid integrates Gemini AI into professional media workflows
βAvid is basically, I think, the backbone of how a lot of professional video and audio productions are functioning today. Film studios, news organizations, post-production houses. There's just a huge chunk of the industry that basically runs on Avid. So this isn't like a niche software company. When Avid is doing something, the professional media world is basically coming along with it. So I think the vision of these AI-assisted production workflows, you have intelligent content search that's happening across these massive media libraries.β
βAI Box is my own software platform. It's how I solve this. It's one subscription. It's $8.99 a month, and you get access to over 80 AI models in one place. So Gemini, Claude, Grok, ChatGPT, 11 Labs for audio, all of the top image models, VO3 for video, Sora for video, all of the top models in one place. So what I keep coming back to on top of all of that is that we built an automation builder. You describe a tool or a workflow that you want in plain English.β
Kathleen's diaries became central to the prosecution
βCombined with Kathleen's diary entry from the night Caleb died in which she enthusiastically wrote, Finally Asleep, Professor Berry believed it was possible that Caleb had not only been smothered to death, but also smothered on a previous occasion from which he was able to recover.β
