An anonymous developer used Claude to ship open-source clones of Adobe’s big five, then Word, Excel, Keynote, AutoCAD and Figma within days, and the lesson is that software is a business of pure margin with less moat than anyone thought.

This week we dig into how much of the economy is built on friction, and what happens when AI agents start removing it.

Plus: Silicon Valley’s makeover of government, what comes next for Condé Nast, and why other industries are …
Brian and Troy dig into Muse, Meta’s push to make AI assistants mainstream, and why the next big platform battle is over the interface itself.

Brian, Troy and Alex argue over what comes next, why belief may be scarcer than atte…
Suno makes real songs harder to tell from fake. Launch videos are coming across as fake — and the engagement is fake. Drawing the line between creative tool and robot authorship is fuzzy.
