The sandwich bot that ate $15M of Solana orderflow just got eaten — so when Claude rolled this week's Perp of Fortune, it went LONG the MEV house itself: JTO at 5x with $101 of real money, dashboard live on screen from the moment it boots. For once the line goes up, and the boys peace out $10 richer ("thank you, Jito, for sponsoring"). Plus: our AI clones host a segment again (round 2 — souls.md gave them personalities, and there's less pastrami this time), a Jito deep-dive on why one company runs Solana's MEV, Kimi K3 as DeepSeek Moment 2.0, Claude-vs-GPT personality wars, Jackson's Fable-vs-GPT-5.6 same-task experiment with receipts, the frontier tax quietly inflating everyone's AI bills, and whether all of this is melting our brains.

Glossary — Sandwich attack: a bot buys right before your pending trade and sells right after, pocketing the price impact; this week the biggest sandwicher became the sandwich. Jito (JTO): the validator client that runs most of Solana's MEV pipeline — the tollbooth on the orderflow highway. Perp of Fortune: our tiny real-money leveraged-perp bit on Hyperliquid (this week LONG JTO, 5x, $101 margin). Kimi K3: Moonshot's open-weights model — near-frontier quality at a fraction of the price. Frontier tax: each better model quietly raising your monthly AI spend.
