Episode description as stored

AI news this week: the AI video renaissance is HERE. Seedance 2.5 is out for everyone, Minimax H3 (Hailuo) is basically an uncensored Sora 2 you can run on local hardware, Wan 3.0 turns your documents into video, and Flux 3 is the only non-Chinese model anywhere near the frontier. \Kevin's on vacation, so on today's AI For Humans, Gavin Purcell is joined by AI video expert Tim Simmons from the excellent YouTube channel Theoretically Media. Together they break down which of the new models is actually best, the basics of how to use them, exactly how good local AI video has gotten, and what it means that nearly all of these models are Chinese. Also: Walter White meets Joey, AI Kramer, Family Guy prompts, The Office reimagined, and a museum for the ancient AI videos of two years ago. Plus: Tim's Higgsfield terms-of-service deep dive, OpenAI reportedly targeting an "ASTRA" aka GPT-6 release for NEXT WEEK, Jeff Dean leaves Google after 27 years as Demis Hassabis steps up, and an AI See What You Did There: AI Filmmakers Edition.
