Claude Code sounds intimidating. It has the word “code” in it, after all. But what if we told you it’s one of the most powerful (and shockingly accessible) ways to create AI agents that automate entire business workflows, without knowing how to code.
Join us for a live, step-by-step masterclass with Tim Cakir — AI trainer, YouTuber, and the kind of guy who casually manages 50+ agents to run his operations. You’ll learn how he uses Claude Code to automate content creation, training, sales prep, and more.
We’ll break it down from the beginning: what Claude Code is, how it works, how to set it up, and how to build agents using skills. All using real-world examples that businesspeople (not developers) can use immediately.

In this session, you'll discover:

Why OpenAI froze development and went into Code Red mode
How $8 trillion in projected AI infrastructure is colliding with disappointing ROI
The growing disconnect between enterprise AI adoption and corporate AI spend

241 | Who Rules the (World) Models? 🤔 LeCun’s new lab, Fei-Fei’s Marble, GPT-5.1 vs bargain Chinese giants, Gemini 3 murmurs and all the vital AI news for the week ending on November 14, 2025 Nov 15, 2025

Show notes

Are current AI models smart enough to rule the world — or just house cats with fancy vocabulary?

This week, a tectonic shift is happening in AI: Meta's chief scientist Jan LeCun quits to chase world models, Fei-Fei Li launches Marble, a spatial intelligence engine, and DeepMind drops CMA-2, a self-taught gamer bot that might be the blueprint for AGI.

Meanwhile, OpenAI releases GPT-5.1 — and China’s Kimi K2 and Ernie 5.0 roll out shockingly powerful, ultra-low-cost models. The AI race isn’t just about intelligence anymore — it’s about who can afford to scale.

If you lead a business, this episode explains why spatial intelligence, not language, may soon be your competitive edge.

The next wave of AI isn’t just about better answers, it’s about deeper understanding, real-world interaction, and models that scale affordably. If you’re not watching spatial intelligence, you’re already behind.
