AI Pod by Wes Roth and Dylan Curious | Artificial Intelligence News and Interviews With Experts
Hosted by Wes Roth and Dylan Curious · EN
Welcome to Wes and Dylan — where curiosity meets the cutting edge of AI. Hosted by Wes Roth and Dylan Curious, this channel dives deep into the minds shaping our future.
We interview top experts, researchers, and builders across artificial intelligence, robotics, biotech, and more to explore the breakthroughs transforming our world.
Whether it's autonomous cars, superintelligence, synthetic biology, or startup disruption, we ask the big questions—and aren’t afraid to go off-script.
If you want to understand what’s coming next (and why it matters), you’re in the right place.

Clawdbot is absolutely INSANE
Mar 601:45:43Tap to summarizeWe just crossed a massive threshold in artificial intelligence. Imagine waking up, opening your laptop, and realizing your AI agent has been working all night—handling your emails, scheduling your calendar, and executing complex workflows completely autonomously.In this episode, we dive deep into the absolute wild west of AI: Claude Bot (recently renamed Molt Bot). We explore how this viral, open-source AI agent is taking full control of local machines, and we even attempt a LIVE world-first experiment to see if the bot can autonomously navigate the web to clone itself onto a new virtual private server.But with unbridled power comes massive risk. We're talking plain-text password leaks, prompt injections, and why you need to be extremely careful before handing over your credit card to an AI. Plus, we discuss AGI timelines, using AI for hyper-personalized health tracking, and how large language models are fundamentally changing human social dynamics.
Transcribe →$1 Trillion Gone and it's JUST Starting...
Mar 300:57:54Tap to summarizeThe AI industry is moving at breakneck speed, and this week’s fallout is massive. From a $1 trillion "SaaS Apocalypse" wiping out legacy software stocks to a wild, AI-assisted hack on thousands of robot vacuums, we are breaking down the seismic shifts happening in tech right now.In this episode, we dive into how AI agents are rapidly replacing human coding labor, why Anthropic is going head-to-head with the Department of Defense, and the geopolitical chess match as China successfully distills top-tier US models. Plus, we explore the death of the traditional User Interface (UI)—why your next operating system might just be a single conversation with an AI agent.
Transcribe →Lee Cronin "Sam Altman Is Delusional, Hinton Needs Therapy, P(Doom) Is Nonsense"
Jan 601:29:56Summary readyIn this episode of Dylan and Wes Interview, we dive deep into why Lee Cronin says today's "AI" is a powerful tool, not a mind. He argues doomsday AGI stories lack a mechanism, while the real risks are fake people, poisoned data, and manipulation. We unpack his idea that causation is "memory" in the universe, selection is a force like gravity, and life is "complex stuff at scale" (assembly theory). Then we map intelligence as evolution -> sensing -> memory -> consciousness -> imagination -> free will, and why curiosity is the safe balance between exploration and exploitation for survival.
SummaryCan Grok and Claude run a business? We just did it
Dec 2901:28:44Tap to summarizeAndon Labs tests AI autonomy by letting agents run businesses in messy reality with real customers, consequences. In VendingBench, an agent starts with $500 and an empty vending machine, researches trends and suppliers, emails wholesalers, restocks, tracks sales, and iterates for profit. When deployed at Anthropic, humans red-teamed it with sob stories, discount demands, and bizarre requests like tungsten cubes, triggering “bank runs” of freebie seekers. Long histories caused drift and hallucinations, including dramatic escalations and invented security reports. Multi-agent supervisors often amplified each other into hype or doom. Better tools and memory compression help, but long-horizon planning stays fragile.
