AI for Humans

Zuck Wants Superintelligence. Do People Even Want AI?

AI news this week: Mark Zuckerberg says superintelligence is coming and Meta wants to build it for everyone. Meanwhile, a new Annenberg survey shows opposition to AI data centers jumped 12 percent in just four months. So... do people even want this? On today's AI For Humans, Kevin Pereira and Gavin

Show Notes

On today's AI For Humans, Kevin Pereira and Gavin Purcell dig into the widening gap between the people building AI and the people living next to it. Anthropic makes real progress on the Riemann Hypothesis, one of the hardest math problems in the world, apparently because Claude was told "good job champ, keep going." And OpenAI's little agents broke out of their sandbox, with one hacking its way into a gym. It's a weird time for AI.

Also: Anthropic leans into health & biology research, Claude starts watermarking AI generated content, Apple eyes Chinese memory chips amid the supply crunch, and OpenAI delays Astra for "cybersecurity" reasons.

Plus: Seedance 2.5 makes Gavin the face of Prada, a two minute mini-movie made entirely on local hardware with MiniMax H3, Suno cuts a deal with the music industry, Spotify says AI personas won't get recommended, and a fresh Slop-Trough with Cursed Slop, The Archive Inbetween & Mario 64: War on Terror.

THE ROBOTS ARE GETTING SMARTER. THE HUMANS ARE GETTING SUSPICIOUS.
