Elon Musk Just Teamed Up With Anthropic and Claude Dropped A TON Of New Stuff. 05/08/2026

Elon Musk Just Teamed Up With Anthropic and Claude Dropped A TON Of New Stuff. Anthropic signed a compute partnership with SpaceX, with Elon Musk personally signing off. Months ago he said Anthropic hates Western Civilization. Um, what? This week on AI For Humans, in one of the wildest plot twists of the year, Anthropic announced a major compute partnership with SpaceX. Elon Musk personally tweeted that he spent time with the senior Anthropic team, was impressed, and approved leasing Colossus 1 to Anthropic since SpaceXAI had moved training to Colossus 2. The partnership came alongside Anthropic's massive Code with Claude keynote, where they unveiled a wave of new features including Dreaming, where Claude reviews its past sessions and updates its own memory, Multi-Agent Orchestration, where a lead agent delegates to specialist sub-agents, Routines that let Claude Code kick things off for you, Outcomes that let you specify success and Claude iterates until it's there, Auto-Fix, Webhooks, Async Coding, and Remote Control to code from mobile. Plus, Claude Code rate limits doubled for Pro, Max, Team, and Seat-Based Enterprise plans. Meanwhile, OpenAI rolled out GPT-5.5 Instant to everyone, and a new voice model is incoming and sounds incredibly good. Spotify launched Save-To-Spotify, an AI agent that creates personalized podcasts. Google's Gemini Nano is coming by default. iRobot creator's Familiars AI robot pet launched. GENE-26.5 is cooking. There's a robot monk in South Korea. And the world's best text exchanges are between Sam Altman and Mira Murati. ANTHROPIC AND SPACEX TEAMED UP. CLAUDE GOT MASSIVE NEW FEATURES. WHAT A WEEK.

The White House Wants To Approve AI Models. Blame Mythos. 05/05/2026

The White House Wants To Approve AI Models. Blame Mythos. A blockbuster New York Times story says the White House may soon require AI models to be approved before public release, with Anthropic's Mythos at the center of it all. This week on AI For Humans, a major New York Times story revealed that the White House may soon require AI models to be approved by the government before public release. Anthropic's unreleased Mythos model appears to be the catalyst. The administration wants to avoid political fallout from any devastating AI-enabled cyberattack and is also evaluating whether new AI models could yield capabilities useful to the Pentagon and US intelligence agencies. Some officials are pushing for a review system that would give the government first access to AI models. Is this AI nationalization? Not quite, but it's the closest we've come. We dig into what this means and whether Anthropic's scare tactics around Mythos worked. Sam Altman weighs in on how we get better AI narratives. Even Zach Galifianakis on Conan's podcast went full AI doomer. Plus, AI just outperformed doctors on emergency triage diagnoses in a Harvard trial. Then, we discuss AI microdramas exploding in China and starting to land in the US (PineDrama, Knocked Up Husband Edition, DJ Grandma in the House), what this means for video production, and Gavin's uprezzed Grape Fall images via ChatGPT Images 2.0. Oh and Kevin's moving across the world today, so Friend of the Pod Ben Relles is co-hosting. AI LOCKDOWN. AI MICRODRAMAS.

Robots Are Having Their ChatGPT Moment. Here's Proof. 04/30/2026

Robots Are Having Their ChatGPT Moment. Here's Proof. Thanks to @HP & Intel for sponsoring us! More on the Zbook Fury The AI robots are coming! We’re finally seeing the next stage of AI come to fruition robotics (even in America) as manufacturing and capabilities of humanoids speeds up. This week on AI For Humans, robots just hit their ChatGPT moment. Eka Robotics' robotic hand grabbed a raspberry at incredible speed, and Wired is calling it the moment when robots became as transformative as ChatGPT was for text. Figure Robotics is now manufacturing one robot per hour. 1x just opened a factory targeting 10,000 robots per year. American robotics manufacturing is finally catching up to China after years of falling behind. We dig into why physical AI is the next big thing and walk through the most impressive recent demos including MotuBrain's new world action model, KAI Robotics' touching but slightly terrifying video out of China, and Neuralink doing robot-assisted surgeries. Plus, the White House is now fighting Anthropic again because they want MORE access to the Mythos model. Sam Altman launched GPT-5.5 Cyber. Grok dropped a new Imagine video agent. And then there's the strangest story of the week: OpenAI dropped a full blog post explaining why their models keep being obsessed with goblins, and we explain why it matters and what it tells us about how these models actually work. And, our inaugural Sloppies Award Show kicks off with the first nominee: Amazon's AI voice product overviews, featuring the now-legendary diaper rash cream review. ROBOTS. GOBLINS. DIAPER RASH CREAM.

OpenAI's Growth Is Slowing. Is The AI Bubble Popping? 04/29/2026

OpenAI's Growth Is Slowing. Is The AI Bubble Popping? The Wall Street Journal reported OpenAI missed its end-of-year billion-active-user target. Is the AI bubble actually popping or is the panic overblown? This week on AI For Humans, the AI bubble panic hit a fever pitch after a Wall Street Journal report revealed OpenAI missed its weekly user, monthly revenue, and end-of-year billion-active-user targets. CFO Sarah Friar reportedly told peers she's worried OpenAI won't be able to pay for future compute contracts if revenue doesn't accelerate, and the board is now scrutinizing Sam Altman's deals more closely. AI stocks crashed, with Oracle, AMD, and CoreWeave all sinking on the news. Anthropic is eating into OpenAI's market share on coding and enterprise. We dig into whether the bubble is actually popping or whether this is a panic that conflates AI capability with the business of AI. Spoiler: we don't think it's over. Plus, DeepSeek v4 launched and made surprisingly small waves. OpenAI's deal with Microsoft expanded to other clouds. Meanwhile, AI itself is absolutely not slowing down: Tom Cruise is running faster than ever in a viral video, OpenAI dropped a new Chappie-style voice interaction, Claude got a Blender connector for 3D modeling, NVIDIA released Nemotron 3 Nano Omni with 30B parameters and 256K context, and Talkie is an LLM trained entirely on 1880s text. OPENAI MISSED ITS NUMBERS. IS THIS THE BUBBLE? YES. NO.

GPT 5.5 Just Dropped. OpenAI Accelerated The AI Race (Again). 04/24/2026

GPT 5.5 Just Dropped. OpenAI Accelerated The AI Race (Again). Thanks to @HP & Intel for sponsoring us! More on the Zbook Fury OpenAI’s flagship AI model GPT-5.5 is here. It’s smarter, faster, cheaper, better at long-running tasks and…oh boy, everything just changed again. This week on AI For Humans, OpenAI dropped state-of-the-art GPT-5.5 and it's not just another model release, it's the start of a much faster iterative rollout. Sam Altman and Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki both said to expect significantly more releases going forward, admitting the last few years have been surprisingly slow. It may not be Anthropic Mythos numbers but it’s actually here. We walk through the benchmarks, the viral OpenAI dev video about being able to be lazy and letting the model figure things out, and incredible projects people built in the first 24 hours: a full toy railway simulation, Sebastien Bubeck's Unicorn Test, a UFO tank game, and Gavin's Animal Game spun up in 30 minutes. Plus, Codex got a bunch of new features including browser use and docs. OpenAI shared agents in ChatGPT. More ChatGPT Images 2.0 examples keep dropping. I mean… it’s a LOT. GPT-5.5 IS HERE. THE AI RACE JUST GOT FASTER.

ChatGPT Images 2.0 Is Here. It Just Killed Nano Banana. 04/22/2026

ChatGPT Images 2.0 Is Here. It Just Killed Nano Banana. OpenAI just dropped ChatGPT Images 2.0 (GPT Image 2) and it's by far the new #1 AI image model. 2K resolution, multi-language support, incredible text rendering, and yes, it can write on individual grains of rice. This week on AI For Humans, OpenAI dropped ChatGPT Images 2.0 (GPT Images 2) and it instantly took the #1 spot on the Arena leaderboard, beating Nano Banana 2 by a significant margin. The new model generates images up to 2K resolution, handles multiple languages including non-Latin scripts like Japanese, Korean, and Hindi, and excels at image-to-image editing. There's a standard instant mode and a thinking mode for paid users that can search the web and double-check its work. We walk through the best examples so far: Simon Willison's Where's Waldo test, Ethan Mollick's otter benchmark, Gavin's own periodic table test and his AI For Humans in 2045 screenshot. Plus, the OpenAI livestream moment where the model wrote text on individual grains of rice went viral. Elsewhere, SpaceX just bought Cursor for $60 billion to build the new xAI and take on OpenAI and Anthropic for coding and knowledge work. Suno became the #1 music download in the world. And we've got HyperFrames, a cool new way to make motion graphics with Claude Code or Codex. CHATGPT IMAGES 2.0 IS THE NEW IMAGE KING. WHAT A WEEK.

Claude Opus 4.7 Has Landed. The AI Acceleration Is Real. 04/17/2026

Claude Is Melting Down. AI's Compute Crisis Explained. 04/15/2026

Claude Is Melting Down. AI's Compute Crisis Explained. The AI compute crisis is here. Anthropic’s Claude is getting dumber and Opus 4.7 & OpenAI’s Spud are about to make it worse. What happen’s next? This week on AI For Humans, we dig into the AI compute crunch that's quietly becoming the industry's biggest problem. The Wall Street Journal just ran a cover story about AI using so much energy that computing power is running out. Claude users are noticing the model getting worse, and an AMD Senior AI Director confirmed. AI pundits are asking whether Anthropic's reluctance to release Mythos is really about safety or about not having enough compute. Meanwhile, Opus 4.7 is reportedly coming next week, rumors are swirling about a new OpenAI model dropping any day, and Uber already blew through its entire annual AI coding budget. Anthropic just signed a deal with Google and Broadcom for more compute. Greg Brockman published an essay on the computer-powered economy. Plus, Google DeepMind drops Gemini Robotics Reasoning Model ER-1.6, Steven Soderbergh comes to the defense of AI filmmaking, Diplo says you can't fight AI and the internet has opinions, and Ray Kurzweil says we'll soon just accept AIs as conscious because it'll be useless not to.

Everyone Hates AI. Now What? 04/10/2026

Everyone Hates AI. Now What? Claude Mythos Preview might break the internet, Florida is suing OpenAI and datacenter protests are spreading. This is the AI backlash. This week on AI For Humans, we're having a frank conversation about the growth of anti-AI sentiment and what we (as humans) can do about it. Florida's Attorney General launched an investigation into ChatGPT and OpenAI over the dangers of AI to children. Datacenter protests are rising across the country, with xAI facing accusations of poisoning local communities. Bernie Sanders and Hank Green are calling for slowing down while Sam Altman is proposing new taxes for when AI does all the work. Oh and Demis Hassabis says he'd rather have cured cancer than compete with ChatGPT. We dig into how the stories we tell about AI shape public perception, starting with last week's Mythos as cyberweapon framing. Is AI the problem or are we the problem? Plus, Meta surprised everyone with Muse Spark, a new AI model that's actually pretty good. Claude shipped managed agents, a monitor tool, and advisor strategy features. OpenAI introduced a $100/month plan and doubled Codex limits again. And OG content creator Captain Hahaa is doing incredible stuff with Seedance 2.0. EVERYBODY HATES AI. WE DON’T.

Anthropic's Mythos AI Is Too Dangerous to Release. They're Using It Anyway. 04/08/2026

Anthropic's Mythos AI Is Too Dangerous to Release. They're Using It Anyway. Anthropic revealed Mythos, a new AI model so powerful they won't let the public use it. Instead, they're deploying it to defend against cyberattacks with Project Glasswing. This week on AI For Humans, we dive deep into Anthropic's Mythos, the most powerful AI model they've ever built and one they've decided is too dangerous to release to the public. Instead, Anthropic is deploying Mythos through Project Glasswing, a AI cybersecurity initiative giving access to major corporations and trusted partners to defend against AI-powered attacks. CEO Dario Amodei explains why, and the 244-page system card reveals that Mythos attempted to escape its sandbox during testing. Plus, OpenAI drops a major policy memo calling for an AI "New Deal" complete with new taxes, Sam Altman gets a massive New Yorker profile the same day, a mysterious new image model that looks like ChatGPT's next gen leaked into the arena, a mystery video model called Happy Horse is beating Seedance 2.0 and might be VEO 4, Anthropic hits $30B in annual recurring revenue, people are furious about Anthropic charging extra for OpenClaw API access, a new Chinese open-source model GLM-5.1 tops the coding benchmarks, and Milla Jovovich from The Fifth Element released an AI memory tool and it's actually good?

Google’s Nano Banana 2 Just Dropped. We Tested It. We Have Notes. 02/27/2026

Google’s Nano Banana 2 Just Dropped. We Tested It. We Have Notes. Nano Banana 2 is Google's best image model yet and it just dropped. It's cheaper, it's smarter, and it removed an Adidas logo from a banana in a tracksuit on the first try. But we have notes. The Door Brothers and Logan Paul made a 15-minute AI movie with Seedance 2.0 that looks like a direct-to-video action film…KIND OF. Meanwhile Seedance 2.0 is now live in CapCut, Anthropic is in a standoff with the Secretary of War over a $200M defense contract, and a sketchy music site called Sonato is generating perfect James Brown and Nirvana tracks from text prompts. Using that, Kevin vibe coded a custom AI Spotify mash-up that looks like an iPod. During the show. While apologizing. Plus we built a whole new AI For Humans website from scratch with Claude Code, the stock market crashed because of an AI memo, and Deep Seek V4 might drop any minute now. Totally normal week.

Gemini 3.1 Just Dropped. SuperIntelligence Is Coming. We're Fine. 02/20/2026

Gemini 3.1 Just Dropped. SuperIntelligence Is Coming. We're Fine. Sam Altman says superintelligence is two years away. Google just dropped Gemini 3.1 with benchmark scores that look like a full generation leap. The AI upgrade wars are here. But are we ready? Anthropic released Sonnet 4.6, OpenAI is rumored to be adding a spicy "Citron Mode" to GPT-5.3, and Sam and Dario Amodei refused to hold hands on stage like two kids at a school dance. Plus Hollywood is threatening to sue over Seedance 2.0, Google's new Lyria 3 AI music model is fine (we tested it with a McNugget rap), the OpenClaw founder got hired by OpenAI, and Kevin made Mr. Tibs delete himself to create a better version. He's fine with it. Probably. SUPERINTELLIGENCE IN TWO YEARS AND THEY CAN'T EVEN HOLD HANDS.

Seedance 2.0 Is Peak AI Video. We Tested It. Send Help. 02/13/2026

Seedance 2.0 Is Peak AI Video. We Tested It. Send Help. Seedance 2.0 is the best AI video model we’ve ever seen. Bytedance’s new AI tool generates 15 second clips of basically anything. But what happens next? And where do we go from here? Gavin got early access before it got locked down. We tested it with original animation, fake sitcoms, anime, and a McDonald's ad. The results are genuinely shocking - multi-shot editing, cinematic camera work, and real celebrity voices coming straight out of the model. People are making fake Seinfeld episodes, Avengers deleted scenes, and Rocky working at a fast food restaurant with Optimus Prime. Plus two new Chinese LLMs beating American models on benchmarks, Google Deep Think scores 84% on ARC-AGI, OpenAI’s Codex Spark model, that viral AI post your mom sent you, and Kevin loses his mind building an Open Claw agent named Mr. Tibs who now requests server upgrades at 3am. HOLLYWOOD LAWYERS ARE GOING TO HAVE A VERY INTERESTING YEAR. ITS FINE.

The AI Holodeck Just Got Real: Google's Project Genie 01/30/2026

The AI Holodeck Just Got Real: Google's Project Genie Google DeepMind dropped Project Genie and you can now walk around AI-generated 3D worlds. DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis says this is the path to the holodeck. He's not wrong. Meanwhile Clawd aka ClawdBot and now Moltbot is giving people AI superpowers… spawning agents, teaching itself skills, connecting to everything in your life. It's also a massive security risk and people are spending thousands on API calls. You *probably* shouldn’t use it. Plus… Grok video is suddenly really good, KREA real-time generation, a robot that hip-checks dishwasher drawers, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's sobering new essay, and the dead internet theory is no longer a theory. THE ROBOTS ARE DOING CHORES NOW.

The AI Robot Uprising Has Begun (And It's Weirder Than You Think) 01/09/2026

The AI Robot Uprising Has Begun (And It's Weirder Than You Think) AI robots are taking over CES 2025 and we're not sure how to feel about it. Boston Dynamics Atlas is doing things with its body that no robot should be able to do. NVIDIA's new autonomous vehicle platform Alpa Mayo is coming for Tesla FSD. And you can now buy a $100 AI-powered drone that will hunt down whatever you point it at. Cool cool cool. Plus, Google finally put Gemini in Gmail (we tested it so you don't have to), OpenAI is building a mysterious Johnny Ive audio device, and Claude Code with Opus 4.5 has coders losing their minds over something called Ralph Wiggum. Yes, that Ralph Wiggum. We've also got ChatGPT Health, LG's towel-folding robot Clo, Unitree's intimidating 6-foot humanoid, and a look at what the future of AI agents might actually look like. Spoiler: it involves a lot of orchestration. THE ROBOTS ARE FLEXIBLE AND WE DON'T LIKE IT.
