    Will AGI Really Happen in 2027?? Plus, NVIDIA's New Tech & More Insane AI News

    Will AGI Really Happen in 2027?? Plus, NVIDIA's New Tech & More Insane AI News

    Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!
     
    This week, a new paper from Leopold Aschenbrenner, a former OpenAI employee, dropped that has AGI hitting as soon as 2027 just as the New York Times broke news on other ex-OpenAI whistleblowers. Maybe we’re not ready for any of this?
     
    Plus, NVIDIA shows off new AI tech at Computrex, Tooncrafter is a cool new AI tool designed to make animation super simple, dive further into Suno’s new ‘extend’ feature & realized that Udio might’ve trapped Weird Al Yankovic in their little AI box.
     
    Plus, a visit from Rusty Shackle, our AI co-host and, we guess, an AI engineer who was supposed to talk to us about AI whistleblowers but unfortunately talked to us about how AI’s whistle. NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED.

    All in all, a fun time.

    OpenAI's GPT-5 and Drama, Apple’s Black Box & Other Huge AI News

    OpenAI's GPT-5 and Drama, Apple’s Black Box & Other Huge AI News

    PLEASE REVIEW US. WE NEED VALIDATION.

    OpenAI's new model is in training, but is it GPT-5 or GPT-6? Did Sam Altman lie to the board before he was fired? Former board member Helen Toner says so. Plus, Apple's "black box" AI might lead to an incredible announcement at WWDC.
    THEN… OpenAI signs deals with VoxMedia and The Atlantic, GitHub's CEO talks about AI turning prompters into programmers, a visual reverse Turing test, and Gavin dives into Suno.ai 3.5, creating a children's TV show theme.
    And we’re joined by AirFoil Studios’ Phil Hedayatnia, who redesigned AI For Humans, to discuss his inspirations, AI in design, and, of course, if AI will kill us all.
    Last but not least, our AI co-host this week is “Safety Steve” who supposedly works for OpenAI but seems to have an entirely different idea of what AI safety really and truly is.
    It’s a *real* good time.

    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

    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.
