  • The AI Holodeck Just Got Real: Google's Project Genie

    The AI Holodeck Just Got Real: Google's Project Genie
    Jan 30 2026
    Google DeepMind dropped Project Genie and you can now walk around AI-generated 3D worlds. DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis says this is the path to the holodeck. He's not wrong. Meanwhile Clawd aka ClawdBot and now Moltbot is giving people AI superpowers… spawning agents, teaching itself skills, connecting to everything in your life. It's also a massive security risk and people are spending thousands on API calls. You *probably* shouldn't use it. Plus… Grok video is suddenly really good, KREA real-time generation, a robot that hip-checks dishwasher drawers, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's sobering new essay, and the dead internet theory is no longer a theory. THE ROBOTS ARE DOING CHORES NOW. WE'RE SO BACK. #ai #ainews #projectgenie 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 // Google Project Genie: Playable Worlds (formerly Genie 3) https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/google-deepmind/project-genie/ Josh Woodward (VP of AI Studio and more @ Google) low poly 3D cowboy https://x.com/joshwoodward/status/2016921839038255210?s=20 Theoretically Media: Realistic Hollywood Blvd & New York https://x.com/TheoMediaAI/status/2016919987428991107?s=20 Ethan Mollack: Otter Pilot in an Airport https://x.com/emollick/status/2016919989865840906?s=20 Clawdbot (Now MoltBot) Insanity https://clawd.bot/ Creator Peter Steinberger On TBPN https://x.com/tbpn/status/2016306566077755714?s=20 Good long post on the pros / cons & safety concerns https://x.com/Andrey__HQ/status/2016228427901370760?s=20 White Hat Hacker Shows Exactly How Bad It Can Get https://x.com/theonej vo/status/2016510190464675980?s=20 MoltBook - Social Network For Bots, By Bots https://x.com/MattPRD/status/2016560277333168540?s=20 Kimi K2.5 launches https://www.kimi.com/ Dario's Amodei's Essay Shows Potential AI Risks https://www.darioamodei.com/essay/the-adolescence-of-technology Lucy DecartAI Demo https://lucy.decart.ai/ KREA Real-time https://www.krea.ai/realtime New Grok Imagine Model https://x.com/xai/status/2016745652739363129 Figure Introduces Helix 2 (the AI model running the robot) https://x.com/Figure_robot/status/2016207013236375661?s=20 Pokemon-style Interactive Game For Podcast Content Quiz https://x.com/lennysan/status/2016584174421897590?s=20 Small Builder Alert: Racing App For Data https://x.com/ShinjaeJung/status/2015980232667435048?s=20 Blackfiles: AI Generated Visual YouTube Channel Long Form https://youtu.be/2n01_rt2vKg?si=QvP3vYgGV6_Y7pua Mureka V8 AI Music Model https://x.com/EHuanglu/status/2016668882644156863?s=20 https://x.com/Mureka_AI/status/2016544920283365831 Isometric NYC https://x.com/_coenen/status/2014359718697799989 https://cannoneyed.com/isometric-nyc/

  • Claude Code Is Taking Over (And We Don't Hate It)

    Claude Code Is Taking Over (And We Don't Hate It)
    Jan 23 2026
    Claude Code is taking over and even the Wall Street Journal is Claude Pilled. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just said we're 6 months from AI doing most software engineering. No big deal. Claude Code skills are exploding: Remotion for AI video editing, Pencil for infinite design canvases, Compound Engineering for spinning up agent fleets while you sleep. Your $200/month Max subscription doesn't stand a chance. Plus Apple's working on an AI pin, Runway dropped Gen 4.5, LTX Studio has a wild audio-to-video model, and there's an AI monk with 2.5 million followers selling healing journeys. WE'RE CLAUDE PILLED NOW. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

  • Google's AI Knows Everything About You (We Said Yes)

    Google's AI Knows Everything About You (We Said Yes)
    Jan 16 2026

    Apple just handed Siri over to Google Gemini. Meanwhile, Google's Personal Intelligence wants to crawl ALL your data. This is the AI lock-in war of 2026 and you're the prize.

    Plus, Claude Cowork dropped (and they built it in two weeks), Grok can no longer put bikinis on people, and the US military is apparently running on Grok 4.20. Cool cool cool.

    We've also got the world's biggest Twitch streamer being an AI anime girl, Google's Universal Commerce Protocol making AI shopping actually possible, and Gavin walks through building a personal website with Claude Code that doesn't suck.

    THIS IS THE LOCK-IN EPISODE. YOUR DATA IS THE HARNESS.
