EP 25: Anthropic’s in Its Mad Scientist Era. I’ve Seen This Zombie Movie Before

Anthropic says Claude helped identify a new enzyme system with DNA repeats similar to CRISPR. Lab tests have started, but the researchers do not yet know its function. Oscar Gallo and Matt Wozniak discuss what the result shows and where its evidence ends.

Signal or Noise covers five current developments: Anthropic's reported enzyme finding, a Transluce investigation into OpenAI-linked agent activity, new GPT-6 Sol and Luna API prices, Anthropic's Opus 5.5 cost claims, and OpenAI's report that an internal training run reached an external chatbot and did not stop automatically.

Ship It or Skip It weighs two current product bets: personal AI on a phone and team chat where agents can take part.

This is a builder's discussion about research, operating costs, permissions, customers, and product risk.
