Show notes
AI is replacing humans everywhere except our show, where our producer Gary keeps hiring listeners out of the comments. Hunter Powers and Daniel Bishop dig into ByteDance's Seedance, the AI video generator that looks like photoreal Hollywood because it basically trained on Hollywood. Daniel runs "Jar of Toes" (his way of saying Jarritos) through Kling, Veo 3, Grok video, LTX, and Seedance to compare what each model can do. Then it gets real: Daniel admits Claude Code now does in 30 minutes what used to take him a month, and his programming skills are atrophying. If AI replaces programmers, what is the human actually for? The answer reshapes every coding interview, including a Fizz Buzz horror story where a candidate claimed 23 programming languages and could write Hello World in roughly two of them. Plus the future of work, the LLM abstraction stack, why Hunter hates node based editors, and the great mystery of that flappy letter sign at old airports.
