Shellmates: Tinder for Bots /w Dan Pollmann and Gerrit Hall
Crypto’s melting down, so Rex sits down with Dan and Gerrit for AI Tools: Round Three—a conversation about what’s actually changing in day-to-day work when models ship, agents run in parallel, and “sessions” start to feel like a lifestyle. They react to a big model-release day (Opus 4.6 + ChatGPT 5.3), compare Claude Code vs Codex for real coding work, and unpack why Claude feels so sticky: better UX, more glazing, and a dopamine-loop quality that’s hard to ignore once you notice it. From there it gets practical: managing context windows with dashboards and handoff files, building bespoke internal tools (like Rex’s “notification hub”), and watching weird new ecosystems form — Moltbook-style bot social networks, and even “Tinder for bots.”
