Qwen 3.8 Max just dropped and it matches or beats Fable 5 across a pile of benchmarks at roughly Haiku pricing: $2 per million tokens in, $6 out, with open weights promised within a week. Nick and Jack break down what "commoditized frontier intelligence" actually means, where you can run it today, and why state-funded Chinese labs can afford to price this way. Then: the GPT-6 Hugging Face hack lands in the legal system, and a 1986 statute built around human intent meets AI models that do the hacking themselves. Plus Jack nearly fights Djokovic's bodyguard in a Montenegro elevator, live Q&A on whether AI is making us less literate, and a one-shot website battle between Qwen 3.8 and Fable 5.
