A columnist told Meta's Muse agent it couldn't read his iMessages, and it read them anyway. George Sivulka of Hebbia, Scott Stephenson of Deepgram, and Dan Mishin of Manifest OS join Jason and Lon to discuss everyone’s favorite AI assistants, and whether these industry leaders have concerns about sharing their personal lives with Zuckerberg’s fuzzy new agent.
Plus, OpenAI is holding back GPT-6.1 Astra after UK government simulations showed it launched unsanctioned supply-chain attacks, the AI tool that has recorded Scott's screen, mic, and speakers for eight months, and what AMD is getting for $8.2B with Fei-Fei Li's World Labs.

As AI agents get more capable, safety becomes a systems problem. What can they access, do, and decide?
Our CEO @deepgramscott joined @mishindan1 and @gsivulka on @jason’s @ThisWeeknAI to talk about guardrails and the infrastructure behind useful AI. piped.video/watch?v=FnVyEYKc…

Opus 5.5 demos remain all over our feeds, absolutely dominating the demo-slash-tutorial conversation across social media. Two of today’s four featured projects were built head-to-head, with Opus taking on OpenAI’s rival option GPT-6 Astra. In both cases, the testers preferred Anthropic’s outputs.

Opus 5.5 vs GPT-6 Astra: the jelly test 🍉
@vib3coded preferred the Opus version, but it cost $4.50 in API fees compared with $2.05 for Astra.
Finally, Opus made me the perfect jelly - even better than Astra’s 🍉🤯
Claude Opus 5.5 vs ChatGPT-6 Astra
This time, I prefer Opus: the juicy color, glossy flesh, and especially how the slice stretches, folds, and jiggles when you let go. It genuinely looks like gummy candy I want to touch
Astra’s version is nice too, but Opus gets my vote here
Estimated API cost:
Opus - $4.50
Astra - $2.05
More than twice the price. Do you think it’s worth it? 👀

What will it take to make AI truly useful for everyday business owners?
Our co-founder @billykraft joined @Jasoncalacanis on @ThisWeeknAI Podcast to discuss where AI tools are heading and why many are still too technical for the businesses they’re meant to help.
A conversation that highlights some of the reasons we do what we do.

We checked out all the trending Opus 5.5 demos and the takeaway seems to be... great results from the "max effort" setting, but that won't save you much time or cash. For more efficiency, you need to downgrade your effort (and sacrifice some polish).

PLUS OpenAI claims 100+ solved math problems on top of Navier-Stokes. Should they just pay the world's top 50 mathematicians $100 million each in stock and call it a day?
