We're back to regular programming (maybe), and back with our average takes. Nothing's changed.GPT-5.5 just dropped today - but you can't even use it in the API. Vaporware? OpenAI is charging MORE than Opus 4.7 and we haven't even tested it yet. Meanwhile Claude Opus 4.7 landed a couple weeks ago and... the vibes are off? Mike's actually going BACK to 4.6. Something's wrong.But the real star: OpenAI Image 2. This thing is genuinely terrifying. We committed what can only be described as \"parody fraud\" - faking a council letter so realistic Mike's own mother fell for it on a phone call. Then Chris posted a fake development approval with the mayor's real name into a local Facebook group and had to delete it when someone tagged the actual mayor. The forgery capabilities are absolutely unhinged.Also: GLM 5.1 is so good Mike forgot he switched to it. Kimi K 2.6 is criminally underrated. VCs are paying 70% of your real token costs. Consumers pay only 5.5% of actual cost. The everything app war is ON. The SaaS-pocalypse is real. And we made two new diss tracks.Chris made a graffiti sign in LA. It says \"This Day in AI.\" It was the best artwork in the class. That tells you everything.CHAPTERS:0:00 - Intro & We're Back (Don't Over-Commit)1:14 - Overview: Everything That Dropped While We Were Gone2:56 - GPT-5.5: Vaporware?
