AI For Humans: Making Artificial Intelligence Fun & Practical

• OpenAI Is Spending A Fortune To Get To AGI. Will They Make It?

  OpenAI just did a $300B deal with Oracle to insure that they have the compute to get to the next stage of AI. The future of AI is EXPENSIVE. Sam Altman is making deals all over the place, trying to set OpenAI up for the future. But there's a LOT of competition now, including from companies like Replit & their new Agent 3 which can work for hours at a time. Plus, Seeddance 4.0 is an incredible new AI image model, Apple's new Air Pod Pro 3s can live translate using AI, AlterEgo can *kind* of read your mind & we get insight into a weird AI watermelon world.  IT'S A NEW WEEK BUT AI KEEPS ON ROLLING. #ai #ainews #openai Come to our Discord: https://discord.gg/muD2TYgC8f Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AIForHumansShow AI For Humans Newsletter: https://aiforhumans.beehiiv.com/ Follow us for more on X @AIForHumansShow Join our TikTok @aiforhumansshow To book us for speaking, please visit our website: https://www.aiforhumans.show/   // Show Links // OpenAI Signs $300B Dollar Deal With Oracle (Say What) https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/776170/oracle-openai-300-billion-contract-project-stargate Sam Says AI Going From 10 to 100 will maybe feel less crazy than 0 to 1 https://x.com/slow_developer/status/1965441316466421772 Microsoft “Shifting” from OAI? https://www.reuters.com/business/microsoft-use-some-ai-anthropic-shift-openai-information-reports-2025-09-09/ Replit’s Agent 3 = 10x Increase in Autonomy https://x.com/amasad/status/1965800350071590966 OpenAI Routs Sensitive Conversations & Adds Parental Controls https://openai.com/index/building-more-helpful-chatgpt-experiences-for-everyone/ Apple’s Air Pods 3 Live Translation https://x.com/adrianweckler/status/1965463329734041970 AlterEgo: We No Longer Need To Talk? https://x.com/alterego_io/status/1965113585299849535 Seedream 4.0 AI Image Is VERY Good https://seed.bytedance.com/en/seedream4_0 https://x.com/fofrAI/status/1965422936367743429 Eleven Labs Voice Re-Mixing https://x.com/elevenlabsio/status/1965806127897264300 Oboe: Learn Anything With AI https://x.com/mignano/status/1965780172688494653 The Sphere’s AI Re-Imagining Of The Wizard of Oz Printing 2m Per Day https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/wizard-of-oz-sphere-more-films-1236364915/ Unitree IPO Coming https://x.com/ns123abc/status/1965083434847703481 The Return of The “Cute” Robot (Fourier) https://x.com/TheHumanoidHub/status/1965861846138954048 Romanian Watermelon Village https://x.com/venturetwins/status/1965609196348735785 Mortar Boom (PJ Ace New Joint) https://x.com/PJaccetturo/status/1966136806652653826 Fartscroll-lid https://x.com/iannuttall/status/1966074800595698131

• AI Helps Salesforce Cut 4000 Jobs. Will It Make New Ones?

  AI NEWS: Salesforce CEO Mark Benioff says AI helped cut 4000 jobs from their workforce. Is this the start of a bigger trend? FYI, Optimus 3 isn’t *really* ready to take those jobs yet. Google’s NanoBanana continues to amaze us and we show off some really fun new ways to use it. 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.

• OpenAI’s GPT-5 Stumbles On The Rocky Road To AGI

  SECRET PROJECT IN DISCORD: https://discord.gg/muD2TYgC8f Is this the AI slow down? OpenAI’s GPT-5’s first week was kind of rough but Sam Atlman is working on it. GPT-4o is back for those who missed it but AI might not get to the Singularity as fast as people think. GPT-5 *did* crush Pokemon & a new version got a gold medal in the International Programming Competition.  Plus, new Anthropic Claude updates, Sam & Elon are feuding again, Apple’s new tabletop robot, Matrix Game 2’s playable AI worlds, Meta’s AI permissions fumble and maybe… most importantly… Robots can now do our laundry.  ROBOTS PLEASE DO ALL OUR CHORES.
