ChatGPT and Claude are going direct to consumers with nostalgic commercials and friendly interfaces, but underneath the marketing is a fundamental shift in how we interact with technology. Dan, Toby, and Matthew dig into what happens when AI systems become the primary interface for everything - and whether these platforms will be truly open or just feel open while quietly controlling distribution, data, and dollars.

Details in the Show:

* Why ChatGPT's retro marketing makes us want to watch Stranger Things

* The difference between open protocols and closed ecosystems

* How agentic systems change the attention economy (and who controls it)

* Why platform dependency always ends the same way

* What Amazon's playbook tells us about AI's future
