OpenAI’s Sora 2: Future of Media or AI SLOPOCALYPSE??
Sora 2 is a remarkable piece of AI technology! Sora 2 is filling the world with AI slop! Both of these things might be true as Sam Altman & OpenAI have taken over yet again. We talk about what makes Sora 2 truly state-of-the-art, the new Cameo feature that lets you generate videos of your friends & some of the IP-infringing works you might see on the Sora seas. Plus, we dive into our new AI audio app AndThen & tell you how we used AI video technology to make a trailer significantly better, faster & cheaper that traditional launch videos.

Meta’s New $800 AI Glasses Show Us The Future… Sometimes Breaks
Meta’s new AI Ray-Ban Display & Mark Zuckerberg give us a glimpse of what an augmented-reality future might look like & they’re here VERY soon. Zuck’s new $800 AR glasses will be here in two weeks for $800 but he also showed off Hyperscape, a new gaussian-splat style virtual environment. They also struggled to demo some of the new tech but, hey, live demos… we’ve all been there, right? Plus, OpenAI brings GPT-5 to Codex, wins yet another programming competition & might be bringing *spicy* talk to ChatGPT. New tech from Reve, Marble World Labs, Wuji’s robot hand and, yes, we made a dumb Italian Brainrot website. ITS ALL JUST FODDER FOR THE SIMULATION. WE STILL HEART Y’ALL.

OpenAI Is Spending A Fortune To Get To AGI. Will They Make It?
OpenAI just did a $300B deal with Oracle to insure that they have the compute to get to the next stage of AI. The future of AI is EXPENSIVE. Sam Altman is making deals all over the place, trying to set OpenAI up for the future. But there's a LOT of competition now, including from companies like Replit & their new Agent 3 which can work for hours at a time. Plus, Seeddance 4.0 is an incredible new AI image model, Apple's new Air Pod Pro 3s can live translate using AI, AlterEgo can *kind* of read your mind & we get insight into a weird AI watermelon world. IT'S A NEW WEEK BUT AI KEEPS ON ROLLING. #ai #ainews #openai 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 // OpenAI Signs $300B Dollar Deal With Oracle (Say What) https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/776170/oracle-openai-300-billion-contract-project-stargate Sam Says AI Going From 10 to 100 will maybe feel less crazy than 0 to 1 https://x.com/slow_developer/status/1965441316466421772 Microsoft “Shifting” from OAI? https://www.reuters.com/business/microsoft-use-some-ai-anthropic-shift-openai-information-reports-2025-09-09/ Replit’s Agent 3 = 10x Increase in Autonomy https://x.com/amasad/status/1965800350071590966 OpenAI Routs Sensitive Conversations & Adds Parental Controls https://openai.com/index/building-more-helpful-chatgpt-experiences-for-everyone/ Apple’s Air Pods 3 Live Translation https://x.com/adrianweckler/status/1965463329734041970 AlterEgo: We No Longer Need To Talk? https://x.com/alterego_io/status/1965113585299849535 Seedream 4.0 AI Image Is VERY Good https://seed.bytedance.com/en/seedream4_0 https://x.com/fofrAI/status/1965422936367743429 Eleven Labs Voice Re-Mixing https://x.com/elevenlabsio/status/1965806127897264300 Oboe: Learn Anything With AI https://x.com/mignano/status/1965780172688494653 The Sphere’s AI Re-Imagining Of The Wizard of Oz Printing 2m Per Day https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/wizard-of-oz-sphere-more-films-1236364915/ Unitree IPO Coming https://x.com/ns123abc/status/1965083434847703481 The Return of The “Cute” Robot (Fourier) https://x.com/TheHumanoidHub/status/1965861846138954048 Romanian Watermelon Village https://x.com/venturetwins/status/1965609196348735785 Mortar Boom (PJ Ace New Joint) https://x.com/PJaccetturo/status/1966136806652653826 Fartscroll-lid https://x.com/iannuttall/status/1966074800595698131

AI Helps Salesforce Cut 4000 Jobs. Will It Make New Ones?
AI NEWS: Salesforce CEO Mark Benioff says AI helped cut 4000 jobs from their workforce. Is this the start of a bigger trend? FYI, Optimus 3 isn’t *really* ready to take those jobs yet. Google’s NanoBanana continues to amaze us and we show off some really fun new ways to use it. Google *also* has a new vibecoding platform, a cool AI video real-time video model & a ‘boring’ but great open source AI image model. Then, at the end of the show, we go off the rails. WE ARE SORRY.
