🍭 Bee Bands, Bottlenecks, and Brainy Humans 🧠

Good morning.

If you ever feel unproductive, remember: someone ran Claude Code 24/7 like it was their emotional support IDE.

Let’s dig in.

🍭 What’s Cookin’:

• A human just beat OpenAI at competitive coding

• Amazon bought a $50 AI wristband that hears everything

• Claude gets nerfed after devs ran it 24/7

• 5 AI tools already plotting to replace your Notion tabs

• Microsoft, Robinhood CEO, and Chrome all dropped AI upgrades

Anthropic
🧾 Claude’s Getting Throttled

The Bite: Anthropic is capping how much you can use Claude Code each week because some devs were basically running it 24/7 like a GPU-powered roommate.

New weekly limits hit Pro and Max subscribers on August 28, and yes, you’ll have to pay extra to keep it grinding.


Snacks: 

• Limits apply to Claude’s $20, $100, and $200/month plans

• Pro users get ~40–80 hrs/week of Sonnet 4, Max users get more

• Opus 4 gets its own separate cap (15–40 hrs/week depending on plan)

• Less than 5% of users affected, according to Anthropic

• Claude Code’s had 7+ outages in the past month due to “unprecedented demand”

Why it bites: Anthropic built a coding beast and now they’re trying to slow down the people actually using it.

When your biggest fans become your biggest infrastructure threat, welcome to AI’s new scaling problem: success you can’t afford.

We’ve seen this happen in the AI video creation space.
Lots of really good tools, but worth a car payment/mo. to actually use them.

Coding Competition
🧠 Man Beats Machine (Barely)

The Bite: Polish coder Przemysław Dębiak, aka Psyho, just edged out OpenAI’s algorithm to win the AtCoder World Tour Finals 2025.

It was a 10-hour logic gauntlet.

The AI came in second, only 9.5% behind and Psyho thinks that gap may never exist again.


Snacks: 

• 11 top-ranked humans faced off vs OpenAI’s custom coding model

• The challenge: solve a complex problem like the traveling salesman

• Psyho used to work at OpenAI.

• AI could brute-force tweaks faster, but humans still reason better

• Sam Altman congratulated the guy who beat his own company’s model

Why it bites: This might be the last time a human wins one of these.

Not because we got dumber but because AI can now clone your B-tier coworker 10,000 times and speedrun the problem.

Welcome to the age of distributed mediocrity outperforming singular brilliance.

Wearable AI
⌚ Amazon Slaps AI on Your Wrist

The Bite: Amazon just bought Bee, a startup with a $50 AI wristband that records your convos, transcribes them, and spits out to-do lists so you don’t have to remember anything.

It’s like Alexa grew legs…
…and privacy concerns. (oh wait, Alexa already had privacy concerns…)


Snacks: 

• Bee uses voice AI to summarize your day from ambient conversation

• No price disclosed, but comes hot on the heels of OpenAI’s $6.5B hardware play

• Amazon might fold Bee into future Alexa wearables

• On the same day: Amazon’s AI coding tool “Q” was hacked with destructive commands

Why it bites: AI wants to be your assistant, therapist, secretary, and now… your wrist.

But as these tools get smarter and closer to your body, the stakes get higher especially when hackers are already poking holes in the system.
