In this episode I dig into whether we're addicted to AI by examining my own switch from ChatGPT to Claude and what usage limits reveal about dependency. I break down the business models behind OpenAI's "unlimited" usage versus Anthropic's enforced limits, explore the Uber playbook of subsidized addiction, and share why both companies' controversial partnerships (OpenAI with Trump/ICE, Anthropic with Palantir) complicate the choice of which AI to use.

In this episode I break down Claude Code and Claude Cowork, two tools from Anthropic that have taken the AI space by storm, and allow Claude to actually execute tasks on your computer instead of just chatting with you. This episode covers what each tool does, how they're different from each other (and from regular LLMs like ChatGPT), what “agentic” AI actually means, who each tool is for, and what to know about safety and usage limits before jumping in.

• What Claude Code and Claude Cowork are
• Anthropic and Claude basics
• Claude Code vs Claude Cowork execution differences
• The kitchen analogy
• Agentic AI and agency
• Real-world Claude Cowork use cases
• Usage limits, safety, and pricing realities
• Recent ChatGPT use: Creating a portable LLM memory file
