Why Sakana AI Keeps Beating the Pack

Monday’s show focused on alternative paths to AI progress and adoption. The conversation opened with Sakana’s growing influence and partnership with Google, then moved through shifts in AI traffic share, local agent systems like Claude Bot, and hands-on world modeling tools. The second half turned more reflective, covering app creation via vibe coding, enterprise hesitation around AI data, and a closing discussion on how the next generation may be trained to work with AI much earlier than today.
