What's Clawdbot and why is everyone on tech X talking about it? Forget you even heard that name, because the app was renamed Moltbot about 5 minutes before this episode was recorded. It's another AI agent harness, but intended to run on your own computer and act like a personal assistant for you.

Also, chat about Apple's chatbot plans for Siri, and we speculate on the sort of person who would wear ChatGPT earbuds.

You asked, we answered. We're doing a much-requested episode on "Australian" fintech Airwallex, which has gotten a lot of untoward attention of late — anti-money laundering audits, accusations by American VCs of being a financial backdoor to China. But there's a bigger story here: the proliferation of payments companies doing a big land grab from traditional financial institutions, and quickly learning that regulation and bank policy exists for a reason.

We take a crash course of Airwallex, its current controversies, and where it fits into the bigger payments story.
