    OpenAI's Very Bad Week, Microsoft's Huge AI Event & Scarlett Johansson is Not Happy

    OpenAI's Very Bad Week, Microsoft's Huge AI Event & Scarlett Johansson is Not Happy

    OpenAI had one of the worst possible weeks yet with three major issues and the Scarlett Johansson mess just keeps getting worse. Plus, the California Senate passed an AI bill that looks pretty bad for now but Anthropic actually learned something about the black box that is AI so…that’s good?
    Microsoft's Satya Nadella made moves at their big Microsoft Build 2024 event & introduced a ton of new AI innovations that would leave even Steve Ballmer himself sweatier than usual.
    Also, Humane seems like it might be toast after seeking out offers to buy it, we love a cool hacked together Google Gemini-powered SuperMario tutorial, Gavin got sometime with the ChatGPT app for Mac & Kevin walks us through how he used GPT-4o to code a voice app using our first AI co-host GASH.
    Speaking of co-hosts, we’re joined by a very special guest: A terrible AI rendition of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He gives us his thoughts on the ScarJo mess and then absolutely loses his mind.

    We have fun here, don’t we.

    OpenAI Drama, GPT-4o is VERY good & Google I/O AI Insanity

    OpenAI Drama, GPT-4o is VERY good & Google I/O AI Insanity

    OpenAI’s co-founder Ilya Sutskever is out and big questions are swirling around AI alignment, GPT-4o is OpenAI’s brand new model & it’s VERY good and Google bring’s a lot (maybe too much) AI to it’s annual Google I/O event. We got it all!

    The ‘o’ in GPT-4o stands for ‘omni’ meaning that it can do audio/voice, text and video all at the same time and in today’s demo they showed off not only those remarkable capabilities but the speed at which it can do those things.
    You can easily interrupt the voice model and carry on a real time conversation but even better, it picks up on the tones and emotions in your voice in a way that does indeed feel magical.
    Google’'s I/O event was like all AI and we break down all the biggest announcements and give you our take on whether or not these new tools are going to set it apart from OpenAI.
    And we welcome our AI co-host Lola Byte from an older time in the world of tech, herself a little too excited to be engaging with us and wonder exactly what this world is gonna look like going forward.

    Microsoft Vs OpenAI, NVIDIA’s Learning Robots & New Sora Features

    Microsoft Vs OpenAI, NVIDIA’s Learning Robots & New Sora Features

    REVIEW THE POD YA DAMN ROBOTS
    This week... Microsoft has greenlit a big new AI model. Is it a sign that it’s distancing itself from OpenAI? Did OpenAI make the mysterious im-a-gpt-chatbot and why are there TWO of them now? 
    Will NVIDIA’s Dr. Eureka’s robot learning lead to a robot that can finally do our dishes? And why, even with the announcment of the M4 chip, was Apple’s iPad event such an AI let down?

    Plus, SORA creators tease us with some mind blowing new features, Midjourney gets an awesome new website, Simulon lets you do 3d models in augmented reality and Anduril’s new Pulsar AI defense somehow makes us feel safe and scares the crap out of us.

    And, of course, our AI co-host stops by to give us his theories on the Mole People. Just another average Thursday here at AI For Humans!

    Mysterious AI Shocks The Internet, Apple’s AI Chip Rumors & Chat with Pirate Software | Ep55

    This week… gpt2-chatbot is a brand new LLM that is VERY good and no one knows where it came from. Is it GPT-5? Probably not but it might be from OpenAI. 
    Then, rumor has it that Apple has new AI silicon on the way and will be dropping it into their new iPads, Vidu is China’s new SORA competitor & the Rabbit R1 had a very, very bad week.
    Plus… AI Town is an installable way to watch AI agents, DemonFlyingFox made an awesome 1950s version of the Simpsons, and memory has come to ChatGPT! FINALLY.
    Plus, an extensive chat with the one and only Pirate Software! Thor and the guys talk about streaming 12 hours a day, how he sees AI, what it means for our jobs and what it might be able to do for us. 
    And finally, our AI co-host is Tech Drip, the world’s first humanoid robot obsessed rapper who for some reason has decided to bring Gavin into his crosshairs.
    It's an endless cavalcade of ridiculous and informative AI news, AI tools, and AI entertainment cooked up just for you.

    Meta’s AI Llama 3 Uncensored, Microsoft's Scary Deep Fakes and ChatGPT for Your DNA

    Meta’s AI Llama 3 Uncensored, Microsoft's Scary Deep Fakes and ChatGPT for Your DNA

    This week… Meta’s Llama 3 model is out and whoo boy it’s good. It’s also free and we’re going to show you how to install an uncensored version. Plus, Mark Zuckerberg drops info on an open metaverse strategy AND updates on the AI Meta Raybans. And maybe a beard??
    Plus, OpenCrispr is basically ChatGPT for our genes, DARPA shows that AI can win in a dogfight with a human fighter pilot, a very cool new NERF-to-game AI model (we’ll explain) and we ask exactly where the heck is OpenAI’s GPT-5?? Oh and a robot that shoots fire from its back. 
    And you won’t want to miss our AI co-host, the CEO of Monster Milk who mistakenly sponsored our podcast and then helps us demo Llama 3 by choosing the best possible robots to draft to play football. And does a terrible (yet thoroughly entertaining) job of it. 

    It's an endless cavalcade of ridiculous and informative AI news, AI tools, and AI entertainment cooked up just for you.

    Udio’s Incredible Music Tool, Adobe’s Big AI Push & Are All Rappers Just AIs Now?

    Udio’s Incredible Music Tool, Adobe’s Big AI Push & Are All Rappers Just AIs Now?

    DROP US A REVIEW, YOU KNOW YOU WANNA.
    This week… Adobe brings new AI video tools to maket (including OpenAI’s Sora support), the Humane AI Pin aftermath & Drake Vs Kendrick Vs AI.
    Plus, AI Warper’s viral Lil Yachty slash Joker Viggle video, Tennessee puts an AI deepfake law on the books and the GeekSquad might be going away. Sad times
    AND THEN… we go deep on Udio’s amazing new AI music tool and talk about how it differs from Suno.AI and show off some of the fun songs people have made with it so far. 
    NOTE: Kevin and Gavin are “in the field” again meaning they’re in person and also without a lot of their normal tech they have at home. Also, Gavin’s audio sucks on this one. We know. 

    BACK TO NORMAL NEXT WEEK WE PROMISE
