After a long break, the Humans of AI Podcast is back for Season 2! With a new look, new format, new cohosts, and guests, this season will be one you won't want to miss.

This week my cohost Tula Masterman and I recap the saga that was OpenClaw — the open-source agentic project that took the internet by storm, spawned an AI social network where agents allegedly conspired to create their own language, and ended with its solo founder joining OpenAI.

Plus, we cover new research from Anthropic and OpenAI that reveals what actually happens when humans hand the wheel to agents.

We also explore are computer science majors disappearing? Recent data from the University of California seems to suggest so.

And we wrap with Humans of AI Office Hours, where we cover user-submitted or curated questions worth digging deeper into. This week's question: "When AGI?"

Submit your question to the Humans of AI Office Hours and we may cover it in a future episode! https://forms.gle/iztuQCjLyUe8kXYRA
