AI Compute Crunch, Vibe Coding, And Pocket Game Hardware

About this episode

OpenAI’s shutdown of the Sora app kicks off a broader discussion about how AI companies are being shaped less by hype cycles than by raw compute limits, with Disney deal fallout, Anthropic’s work-hour throttling, and rumors of even bigger next-generation models all pointing to infrastructure being the real bottleneck. From there, the conversation shifts into what these tools look like in practice: Andrew talks through using Codex, plugins, and repeatable evals to automate work, build tiny playable games under extreme constraints, and treat coding more like cultivating projects than manually assembling software line by line. The hosts compare notes on how intimidating the current tool…
