Google *also* has a new vibecoding platform, a cool AI video real-time video model & a ‘boring’ but great open source AI image model. Then, at the end of the show, we go off the rails. WE ARE SORRY. YOU ARE GREAT. #ai #ainews #openai Come to our Discord to try our Secret Project: Join our Patreon:...

Which is more than we can say for the OpenAI graphics department. Then, Google Deepmind’s Genie 3 shows us what the next generation of AI *might* look like with its new world model.

In this episode, we break down Google’s new “Era of Experience” paper and what it means for how AIs will learn from the real world. We talk agentic systems, long-term memory, and why this shift might be the key to creating truly intelligent machines. Plus, a real AI vending machine running on Claude, a half-marathon of robots in Beijing, and Cluely, the tool that lets you lie better with AI.
We also cover new AI video tools from Minimax and Character.AI, Runway’s 48-hour film contest, and Dia, the open-source voice model that can scream and cough better than most humans. Plus: AI Logan Paul, AI marketing scams, and one very cursed Shrek feet idea.
