Main Show starts at 9:00

We share our feelings about Moltbook, a Reddit-like site for AI agents from popular AI assistant platform OpenClaw. Komei asked what steps any of us have taken to make provisions for our accounts after we die. And the Information reports Nvidia will not be introducing any new GPUs in 2026. Is this the final nail in the coffin for the DIY PC enthusiast hobby?
Starring Sarah Lane, Tom Merritt, Robb Dunewood, Len Peralta, Roger Chang, Joe.
