Claude’s Shop Flop, Mistral vs EU Regs, Adult Industry’s AI Love: The AI Argument EP64

Claude ran a shop for a month and operated at a loss, cheerfully handing out discounts, hallucinating suppliers, and generously giving away stock. Turns out even "smart" AI can be a bit of a soft touch.

Frank’s curious what Anthropic can do for Claude’s performance with some careful fine-tuning and a database memory, but Justin’s sure today's agents need a fundamental leap, some genuine self-improving smarts, before they’re ready to take on a complete role.

Today's AI agents clearly crumble under complex, long-horizon tasks. For business owners dreaming about replacing employees, this reality check is essential listening.

Frank and Justin also discuss why Mistral is pushing to pause the EU AI Act, and examine how the adult entertainment sector is putting AI to work.

→ Is agentic AI just hype and no help?
→ What happens when Claude runs a shop?
→ Why does Mistral want the EU AI Act paused?
→ Why is the adult industry loving AI?
