AI For Humans: Making Artificial Intelligence Fun & Practical

DeepMind Says We're Not Ready For AGI, Academy Awards Say AI Video is Ok, and AI Voice Models Get Weird


Listen Later

Google says we’re not ready for AGI and honestly, they might be right. DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis warns we could be just five years away from artificial general intelligence, and society isn’t prepared. Um, yikes?

In this episode, we break down Google’s new “Era of Experience” paper and what it means for how AIs will learn from the real world. We talk agentic systems, long-term memory, and why this shift might be the key to creating truly intelligent machines. Plus, a real AI vending machine running on Claude, a half-marathon of robots in Beijing, and Cluely, the tool that lets you lie better with AI. 

We also cover new AI video tools from Minimax and Character.AI, Runway’s 48-hour film contest, and Dia, the open-source voice model that can scream and cough better than most humans. Plus: AI Logan Paul, AI marketing scams, and one very cursed Shrek feet idea.

AGI IS ALMOST HERE BUT THE ROBOTS, THEY STILL RUN.
