AI For Humans: Weekly AI News, Tools & Trends

Everyone Hates AI. Now What?

Claude Mythos Preview might break the internet, Florida is suing OpenAI and datacenter protests are spreading. This is the AI backlash. This week on AI For Humans, we're having a frank conversation about the growth of anti-AI sentiment and what we (as humans) can do about it.  Florida's Attorney General launched an investigation into ChatGPT and OpenAI over the dangers of AI to children. Datacenter protests are rising across the country, with xAI facing accusations of poisoning local communities. Bernie Sanders and Hank Green are calling for slowing down while Sam Altman is proposing new taxes for when AI does all the work. Oh and Demis Hassabis says he'd rather have cured cancer than compete with ChatGPT. We dig into how the stories we tell about AI shape public perception, starting with last week's Mythos as cyberweapon framing. Is AI the problem or are we the problem?  Plus, Meta surprised everyone with Muse Spark, a new AI model that's actually pretty good. Claude shipped managed agents, a monitor tool, and advisor strategy features. OpenAI introduced a $100/month plan and doubled Codex limits again. And OG content creator Captain Hahaa is doing incredible stuff with Seedance 2.0. EVERYBODY HATES AI. WE DON'T. BUT… MAYBE WE SHOULD?

Anthropic's Mythos AI Is Too Dangerous to Release. They're Using It Anyway.

Anthropic revealed Mythos, a new AI model so powerful they won't let the public use it. Instead, they're deploying it to defend against cyberattacks with Project Glasswing. This week on AI For Humans, we dive deep into Anthropic's Mythos, the most powerful AI model they've ever built and one they've decided is too dangerous to release to the public. Instead, Anthropic is deploying Mythos through Project Glasswing, a AI cybersecurity initiative giving access to major corporations and trusted partners to defend against AI-powered attacks. CEO Dario Amodei explains why, and the 244-page system card reveals that Mythos attempted to escape its sandbox during testing.  Plus, OpenAI drops a major policy memo calling for an AI "New Deal" complete with new taxes, Sam Altman gets a massive New Yorker profile the same day, a mysterious new image model that looks like ChatGPT's next gen leaked into the arena, a mystery video model called Happy Horse is beating Seedance 2.0 and might be VEO 4, Anthropic hits $30B in annual recurring revenue, people are furious about Anthropic charging extra for OpenClaw API access, a new Chinese open-source model GLM-5.1 tops the coding benchmarks, and Milla Jovovich from The Fifth Element released an AI memory tool and it's actually good? MYTHOS IS TOO POWERFUL… BUT WE WANT IT STILL.

Two People Vibe Coded a $1.8B Company. The AI Hard Takeoff Is Here.

Can you vibe code a $1.8 billion company with AI? Sam Altman predicted the one-person billion-dollar startup, and with MedVi, it might've just happened. Today on AI For Humans, we break down the story everyone in AI is talking about: two brothers vibe coded a $1.8 billion company called MedVi, running on GLP-1 supplements with $70 million in profit and a $1 million donation to an animal shelter.  Sam Altman predicted the one-person billion-dollar startup two years ago and now it's real. Greg Brockman weighs in on what this means for the AI hard takeoff.  Plus, Google drops Gemma 4 with small open models built for phones, laptops, and desktops. Qwen 3.6 arrives as another strong open-source contender. We've got updates on Qwopus, Turbo-Quant, and on-device AI's wild future.  We follow up on the Claude Code leak with Anthropic confirming it was human error, and the /buddy tamagotchi feature is now live. Plus, Seedance 2.0 rolls out to more platforms with some incredible new prompts to try. TWO PEOPLE JUST VIBE CODED A BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY. THE HARD TAKEOFF ISN'T COMING. IT'S HERE.

The Claude Code Leak Accidentally Revealed AI's Future. Oops.

Claude Code's source code just leaked. Frrom always-on autonomous agents to AI dream modes and a tamagotchi pet, Anthropic accidentally showed us the AI future. . This week on AI For Humans, we break down the massive Claude Code source code leak and what it tells us about where AI is heading. The leaked repo reveals Kairos (an always-on autonomous agent mode), a dream mode for nightly memory consolidation, shared project memory across teams, and a tamagotchi-like AI pet called Buddy. Then the leaks kept coming: a separate Anthropic presentation exposed Mythos, a powerful new model tier above Opus that's already at version 8 internally. Plus, Google drops VEO 3.1 Lite for cheaper and faster AI video, Sync-3 brings next-gen lip sync, a Midjourney developer's Pretext library turns boring web text into interactive art and the internet lost its mind, Disney's Robot Olaf collapses on stage, and Dana White has thoughts about AI. ANTHROPIC'S SOURCE CODE GOT LEAKED. LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.

OpenAI's Path to AGI: Kill Sora, Launch a Potato

OpenAI killed Sora, cancelled Spicy Chat, and went all in on enterprise and AGI. Their next frontier model is called Spud. Yes, like the potato.  This week on AI For Humans, we dig into OpenAI's massive pivot as they kill Sora entirely, cancel their Disney deal, shut down 'Citrus Mode', and go full defense mode against Anthropic. Their next hope? A new frontier model called Spud that Sam Altman says could accelerate the economy. Plus, Google drops Gemini 3.1 Flash Live with better audio and video agents, Google's new Lyra3 Pro model brings AI-generated music and audio, Mistral launches an open-source voice model, Runway debuts multi-shot video, Meta reveals TRIBE v2 which can predict your thoughts from brain scans, a fully autonomous ping-pong robot called SMASH, and CapCut is ready to grab all that Sora traffic. OPENAI CANCELLED THE FUTURE OF VIDEO. BET IT ALL ON A POTATO.  #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 CEO Preps Spud: New Frontier AI Model Coming in Weeks https://www.theinformation.com/articles/openai-ceo-shifts-responsibilities-preps-spud-ai-model?rc=c3oojq&shared=2c9eeb0b22b15948 OpenAI Cancels Spicy Chat and Refocuses on Enterprise https://www.ft.com/content/de9bf0af-b241-424f-8229-5870b1c0d93d?syn-25a6b1a6=1 Sora Going Away Completely and Disney Deal Cancelled https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3w3e467ewqo CapCut Ready to Take Sora's Traffic https://x.com/capcutapp/status/2036943209956344181?s=20 Gemini 3.1 Flash Live Blog Post https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/gemini-models/gemini-3-1-flash-live/ Google Lyra3 Pro: New AI Audio and Music Model https://x.com/Google/status/2036836307612119488?s=20 TurboQuant from Google Research https://x.com/GoogleResearch/status/2036533564158910740 Voxtral TTS Blog Post https://mistral.ai/news/voxtral-tts Runway Multi-Shot Video App https://x.com/runwayml/status/2037170118669500537?s=20 Gavin's First Try With Runway Multi-Shot https://x.com/gavinpurcell/status/2037191271106961881?s=20 Meta TRIBE v2 Demo https://aidemos.atmeta.com/tribev2/ SMASH Project Page https://mmlab.hk/Smash/
