AI For Humans: Weekly AI News, Tools & Trends

Google's Nano Banana 2 Just Dropped. We Tested It. We Have Notes.


Listen Later

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.
