Tik and Chris

Chris and Pratik open with Claude Tag, Siri's new screen-awareness, and Google's shift to "go do the work" search agents — and land on the real question: if AI is about to live inside every app you already use, was building your own agent ever the point? Then it gets messier: the Fable 5 / Mythos 5 export-control saga, a competitor-authored jailbreak report, and a government that acted on it witho...

Co-host Pratik Desai pulls back the curtain on something he's never talked about publicly — how he went from scribbling a business plan on a bus to Machu Picchu at 2 AM to landing his first contract before he even left Peru. This episode digs into the early chaos of bootstrapping a tech consulting company: figuring out insurance, benefits, quarterly taxes, and all the unglamorous back-office reali...

Elon Musk is suing OpenAI, and the guys think it has nothing to do with the $40M — it's pure Dr. Evil energy. World domination doesn't come cheap, but apparently it might come with a refund. The bigger story? Anthropic and OpenAI just launched partner networks for consultants... and then immediately announced they're building their own consulting arms. Cool timing, guys. Chris and Pratik dig into...

What happens when you lock two AI models in a room with no memory and tell them to talk? Pratik found out — and things got weird fast. We kick off with his deep dive into multi-agent LLMs, complete with unsanctioned starship roleplay, a 150-turn identity crisis, and an accidental recreation of OpenClaw. Then we pivot to a shoe company that pivoted to AI, watched its stock jump 600-700% overnight,...

Anthropic keeps shipping, and this week Tik and Chris try to make sense of the pace. They cover managed agents — what they are, who they're actually built for, and whether the cost makes sense for anything beyond a serious build. They also get into the rumored Mythos model, why Anthropic chose a controlled rollout over a public launch, and what Project Glasswing signals about where cybersecurity i...

It's Pratik's birthday, and the best gift he gets is being right. Chris and Pratik kick things off debating AI's growing role in baseball's ball-and-strike review system — robots in the dugout, anyone? — before diving into why they started this podcast in the first place: the belief that AI puts a billion-dollar toolkit in the hands of literally anyone willing to pick it up. From the rise of the o...

Chris and Pratik break down three bold claims from NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's latest keynote — that every company needs an agentic AI strategy, that imagination is the bottleneck (not compute), and that token usage should be a performance metric. They push back on the hype, debate whether small businesses or enterprises stand to gain more from autonomous agents right now, and land on a striking ide...

In this episode, hosts Christopher Long and Pratik Desai explore the impact of AI on the future of work, coding, and society. They share personal projects, discuss industry trends, and reflect on how curiosity and continuous learning are vital in navigating technological change. Oh - and they show a lot of Perseverance :)

Still barely into their podcasting journey - Tik & Chris encounter an unexpected hurdle when the Google AI blocks their AI centric Podcast. Also this episode: Tik & Chris discuss access and pricing to AI tools and why the time is now to take advantage. Tik introduces everyone to his favorite new wire-framing tool, stitch.withgoogle.com

Christopher Long and Pratik Desai kick off their first episode by swapping unlikely origin stories, roasting each other just enough, and attempting a perfectly logical first project: vibe coding a tool to tell them what to vibe code next. Along the way, they test Gemini AI Studio and Claude Artifacts, compare notes, and explore what happens when AI makes building feel a lot more accessible—and a l...
