AI will never be this cheap again, failure of intensive specs, and how bots hide bad workflows

Are we officially entering the "Eternal Sloptember"? This week on the Friday Deploy, Ben and Andrew unpack the quiet rebellion against skyrocketing API costs as teams transition to fine-tuned local models. They also explore the changing physical architecture of AI data centers, the dangers of using autonomous tools as a crutch for broken workflows, and why spec-driven development is critical for keeping agentic code in check. Finally, the hosts share their latest personal agent experiments, from benchmarking open-source models on a local Mac Studio to taming an AI-generated second brain.
