Nano Banana 2 is Google's best image model yet and it just dropped. It's cheaper, it's smarter, and it removed an Adidas logo from a banana in a tracksuit on the first try. But we have notes.

The Door Brothers and Logan Paul made a 15-minute AI movie with Seedance 2.0 that looks like a direct-to-video action film…KIND OF. Meanwhile Seedance 2.0 is now live in CapCut, Anthropic is in a standoff with the Secretary of War over a $200M defense contract, and a sketchy music site called Sonato is generating perfect James Brown and Nirvana tracks from text prompts.

Using that, Kevin vibe coded a custom AI Spotify mash-up that looks like an iPod. During the show. While apologizing.

Plus we built a whole new AI For Humans website from scratch with Claude Code, the stock market crashed because of an AI memo, and Deep Seek V4 might drop any minute now. Totally normal week.

KEVIN OWES US ALL AN APOLOGY AND HE KNOWS IT.

New AI For Humans Website! https://www.aiforhumans.show/

Sam Altman says superintelligence is two years away. Google just dropped Gemini 3.1 with benchmark scores that look like a full generation leap. The AI upgrade wars are here. But are we ready?

Anthropic released Sonnet 4.6, OpenAI is rumored to be adding a spicy "Citron Mode" to GPT-5.3, and Sam and Dario Amodei refused to hold hands on stage like two kids at a school dance. Plus Hollywood is threatening to sue over Seedance 2.0, Google's new Lyria 3 AI music model is fine (we tested it with a McNugget rap), the OpenClaw founder got hired by OpenAI, and Kevin made Mr. Tibs delete himself to create a better version. He's fine with it. Probably.

SUPERINTELLIGENCE IN TWO YEARS AND THEY CAN'T EVEN HOLD HANDS. WE'RE FINE.

Seedance 2.0 is the best AI video model we've ever seen. Bytedance's new AI tool generates 15 second clips of basically anything. But what happens next? And where do we go from here?

Gavin got early access before it got locked down. We tested it with original animation, fake sitcoms, anime, and a McDonald's ad. The results are genuinely shocking - multi-shot editing, cinematic camera work, and real celebrity voices coming straight out of the model. People are making fake Seinfeld episodes, Avengers deleted scenes, and Rocky working at a fast food restaurant with Optimus Prime.

Plus two new Chinese LLMs beating American models on benchmarks, Google Deep Think scores 84% on ARC-AGI, OpenAI's Codex Spark model, that viral AI post your mom sent you, and Kevin loses his mind building an Open Claw agent named Mr. Tibs who now requests server upgrades at 3am.

HOLLYWOOD LAWYERS ARE GOING TO HAVE A VERY INTERESTING YEAR. ITS FINE.

Anthropic drops Opus 4.6. Twenty minutes later, OpenAI fires back with GPT-5.3 Codex. This is the AI agentic coding arms race and it's moving fast. Both AI models are writing code that can write itself now. OpenAI is using 5.3 to improve its own tooling. Opus 4.6 is "voicing discomfort with being a product." We tested both and break down what actually matters for people building stuff. Plus Kling 3.0 is out (and harder to prompt than you think), OpenClaw bots are hiring humans on rent-a-human.ai, Roblox launches prompt-to-3D creation, and robots are now doing 130K step challenges in negative 47 degree weather.

THE MODELS ARE IMPROVING THEMSELVES NOW. EVERYTHING IS FINE.

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.

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.

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.

Gavin's Personal Website With Claude Code

https://www.gavinpurcell.com/

AI robots are taking over CES 2025 and we're not sure how to feel about it. Boston Dynamics Atlas is doing things with its body that no robot should be able to do.

NVIDIA's new autonomous vehicle platform Alpa Mayo is coming for Tesla FSD. And you can now buy a $100 AI-powered drone that will hunt down whatever you point it at. Cool cool cool.

Plus, Google finally put Gemini in Gmail (we tested it so you don't have to), OpenAI is building a mysterious Johnny Ive audio device, and Claude Code with Opus 4.5 has coders losing their minds over something called Ralph Wiggum. Yes, that Ralph Wiggum.

We've also got ChatGPT Health, LG's towel-folding robot Clo, Unitree's intimidating 6-foot humanoid, and a look at what the future of AI agents might actually look like. Spoiler: it involves a lot of orchestration.

THE ROBOTS ARE FLEXIBLE AND WE DON'T LIKE IT.

ChatGPT Images (aka OpenAI's Image 1.5) can create stunning AI images, text and more. But how does it compare to Google's Nanobanana Pro? We dive in… way too deep.

Plus, new GPT-5.2 Codex, Gemini 3 Flash, YouTube's new vibecoded games, the controversy around Generative AI and game developer Larian Studios, a lego-like robot and, of course, seeing how AI video can cause soap opera actress hair to endlessly grow. IT'S YET ANOTHER WEEK OF NEW RELEASES! AND WE DON'T STOP.
