    Google Banana AI / Grok Macrohard / Robot Olympics / AI Psychosis Fix / RtoA #8

    👉 EngX Space: https://engx.space/ 👉Prompt Engineering Advanced ($30): Go beyond basics to unlock advanced AI skills — 6h, 13 lessons, 17 practice tasks for devs & test engineers https://engx.space/global/en/courses/prompt-engineering-advanced In this episode, Gordon Mullan and Govind Shukla explore the wildest edges of AI and robotics in 2025. We cover Google’s quirky “nano-banana” release, xAI’s spicy new Grok tools (and Musk’s surprise launch of Macrohard), and why OpenAI’s IQ-beating GPT-5 is rewriting the rules. From Unitree’s domination at the Humanoid Robot Olympics to Meta’s next-gen vision model, Anthropic’s coding tutor, and Perplexity’s secret web-scraping scandal, we unpack what’s hype, what’s real, and what’s just a little unhinged. We also dive into China’s latest world-building AI engines, Nvidia’s 53× speed breakthrough, and how to keep AI from spiraling into psychosis. Tune in for the freshest updates on Big Tech, robots that sprint faster than you, and the strange future of AI nations.

    GPT-5 & OpenAI Open Weights / Genie-3 Worlds / 1-Day Gene Editing / Robot Dogs / RtoA #7

    In this episode of The Road to Abundance, Gordon Mullan and Govind Shukla dive into one of the most explosive weeks in AI so far. OpenAI stunned the community with a rare double launch, releasing GPT-5 alongside brand-new open-weights models, and the ripple effects are already being felt across the tech world. DeepMind’s Genie-3 is here too, offering playable, promptable, physically consistent worlds that could change how games and simulations are built. We also explore how CRISPR-GPT is turning complete beginners into gene-editing experts in just a single day, and why some jaw-dropping robot dog demos are making people wonder if it’s time to rethink where this is all heading.
