The AI Job Apocalypse, Google's VEO 3 Updates, and OpenAI's Advanced Voice Can Now Sing
Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei just warned HALF of white-collar jobs could vanish in the next 1–5 years. Thankfully VEO 3 is here for your entertainment needs. While we’re still here. We break down Dario Amodei’s 50% job-loss prediction and what you can do today to stay indispensable. Then: how Claude Opus kept blackmailing its own user, why Google’s VEO 3 still scares off the competition and OpenAI's Advance Voice can now sing! Plus, Google Stitch AI’s slick app-mockup magic, MMA-style robot brawls, “Fairies” agents on your PC, and Odyssey’s live, AI-generated worlds. ROBOTS ARE AT YOUR DESK. AIs ARE IN YOUR FILES. IT’S A GOOD SHOW. #ai #ainews #openai Join the 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 // Dario Amodei Goes on Record To Discuss a “White Collar Jobs Bloodbath” https://www.axios.com/2025/05/28/ai-jobs-white-collar-unemployment-anthropic Morning Joe with Axios CEO https://youtu.be/OKCD2dmcjsQ?si=jEY2oLkV5nxbaKK1 Dario Says First One Person Billion Dollar Company By 2026 https://x.com/slow_developer/status/1925632756639256577/video/1 Rick Rubin on Vibecoding https://x.com/a16z/status/1927783683727183990 Claude 4 Opus + Sonnet https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-4 Claude Tries to Blackmail Employees (Safety Tests) https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/22/anthropics-new-ai-model-turns-to-blackmail-when-engineers-try-to-take-it-offline/ Replit CEO Amjad Masad says their internal AI agent tried to socially engineer a user -- just to edit a protected config file. https://x.com/vitrupo/status/1927375269674852656 Advanced Voice Can Sing Now https://x.com/nicdunz/status/1927106089020969223 Veo 3 in Gemini Now https://x.com/joshwoodward/status/1926311143867330938 Kling 2.1 Vs Veo 3 https://x.com/maxescu/status/1927533331236737031 Unseen Lives of Actors Veo 3 https://x.com/HashemGhaili/status/1927467022213869975 Jurassic Park Veo 3 https://x.com/IanSharar/status/1926341477010969083 This is Plastic Veo 3 https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1kvacl1/this_is_plastic_this_is_madness/ Stitch By Google - AI Design + UX https://x.com/stitchbygoogle/status/1924947794034622614 Fairies - AI Agent For Local Computer (free-to-use) https://x.com/GuangyuRobert/status/1927482226239062085 Humanoid MMA HAPPENED https://x.com/TheHumanoidHub/status/1926683608330248418 Demon Flying Fox Gets VEO 3 (Challenges) https://youtu.be/CxX92BBhHBw?si=EjfNq1JLZLU4DC7z Odyssey Real Time Video Engine https://x.com/odysseyml/status/1927767196756853179 Using Google Street Images in Runway References to put real world locations into shoots https://x.com/lifeofc/status/1927135049918357981 Friend of the show Joanna Stern’s VEO 3 journey https://youtu.be/US2gO7UYEfY?si=rzoiKFSjcDrV02Rj

Google's VEO 3 Is Next Gen AI Video, Gemini Crushes at Google I/O & OpenAI's Big Bet on Jony Ive
VEO 3, Gemini Diffusion, Android AR Glasses & so much more… Google went HAM on the AI space this week at Google I/O. Plus, Sam Altman spends 6.5B on AI wearables & Jony Ive. After last year’s semi-lackluster I/O event, this year Google rolled out Sergei Brin & Demis Hassabis and a whole lot of new product. We go deep on all of it but especially VEO3. Gavin bought the enormously expensive Google AI Ultra plan to tell you how it works. Plus, Anthropic’s Claude 4 is rumored to come out… today? Microsoft’s Build event showed off how MCP will directly integrate into Windows, OpenAI’s Codex software agent and, yes, MMA Fighting Robots. IT’S MOVING REAL FAST AGAIN Y’ALL. SPEED UP INITIATED!

OpenAI's Roadmap to AGI, Google's AlphaEvolve Codes Itself & So Many AI Babies
OpenAI’s Sam Atlman discussed the next three years of AI advancements while Google’s brand new AlphaEvolve model codes new algorithms on its own. And good lord, the babies. We also dig into OpenAI HealthBench out-diagnosing real doctors, Anthropic’s rumored reasoning-hybrid Opus & Sonnet updates, and Tesla’s newly refreshed sim-to-real dancing Optimus robot. Plus, Gavin’s free build of an AI baby podcast clip and Kevin’s take on why recursive self-learning changes everything, Stable AI’s on-device Stable Audio music generator, and Runway “References” turning old photos into time-travel podcasts. And a Unitree robot casually stomping toddlers’ sneakers. For science, of course. NAP TIME IS OVER.

OpenAI Goes Global, AI Threat Meetings & Gemini’s Code Crusher
OpenAI just pitched “OpenAI for Countries,” offering democracies a turnkey AI infrastructure while some of the world’s richest quietly stockpile bunkers and provisions. We’ll dig into billionaire Paul Tudor Jones’s revelations about AI as an imminent security threat, and why top insiders are buying land and livestock to ride out the next catastrophe. Plus, a wild theory that Gavin has hatched regarding OpenAI’s non-profit designation. Then, we break down the updated Google Gemini Pro 2.5’s leap forward in coding… just 15 minutes to a working game prototype…and how this could put game creation in every kid’s hands. Plus, Suno’s 4.5 music model that finally brings human‑quality vocals, and robots gone wild in Chinese warehouses. AND OpenAI drops 3 billion on Windsurf, HeyGen’s avatar model achieving flawless lip sync from any angle, the rise of blazing‑fast open source video engines, UCSD’s whole‑body ambulatory robots shaking like nervous toddlers, and even Game of Thrones Muppet mashups with bizarre glitch art.
