Zuckerberg Finally Finds His People, They Are All AI Agents

·1 hr 19 min·5 clips
Anthropic's CodeReview uses multi-agent review, with 84% of large PRs getting findings and under 1% marked incorrect.
The episode opens with the hosts checking in. They note it is midway through the week and quickly move into the second week of the Iran war. Striker comes up fast, with the panel saying it got completely owned. They decide that story still needs more time and push it to next week. The conversation then pivots to Anthropic. The hosts recall that the government had already treated Anthropic as a supply chain risk. They say the suit is now real, and Microsoft is backing the case. The group jokes that the court timeline will be long. From there, the show moves into Cloudflare's AI-assisted API security scanner. The panel explains that it uses Cloudflare Workers AI and OpenAI's GPT OSS 120B model with structured outputs to infer data dependencies between endpoints automatically. That cuts out a lot of the manual setup that usually slows down API security tools. It is meant to catch authorization flaws that only show up across multiple requests. Credential handling stays inside HashiCorp Vault Transit or is encrypted immediately on submission. The scanner is in open beta for API Shield customers. Cloudflare says it plans to extend the same approach toward top web threats like SQL injection and cross-site scripting. One host calls the idea super cool and says it is the kind of AI-enhanced security scanning they have been waiting for. Another takes a more cynical line and worries about hackers using the same approach against public APIs. The panel agrees that attackers will absolutely use LLMs and models to make attacks more effective. The episode closes on Xbox and the question of whether custom AI features could justify a premium if the games are actually good enough. The whole thing keeps the show's usual mix of cloud news, dry jokes, and practical skepticism.
