EP 16: From Classroom to AI Lab: Albert Chun + OpenClaw, Anthropic vs. the Pentagon

Albert Chun, founder of AI Circle, joins Rob, Ryan, and Anna to talk about building one of AI's most intentionally small communities — and why turning away a thousand applicants is a feature, not a bug. Albert shares how his background as an educator (he started schools in the Bay Area and South Bronx) shaped the way he thinks about training AI models at Invisible, and why the future of AI might be more of a teaching problem than a math one.

The crew also breaks down the OpenClaw acquisition by OpenAI, the security risks hiding inside open-source AI agents, and what it means that the Pentagon is now clashing with Anthropic over how its models are being used.
