Episode description as stored

Thanks to HP & Intel for sponsoring us! More on the Zbook Fury https://bit.ly/4uapNHs Spotify just made AI music official. They cut a deal with Universal Music Group for AI-enhanced and remixed tracks and we all know where this goes. This week on AI For Humans, Spotify officially crossed the line. They announced a sweeping deal with record labels, distributors, and music publishers to bring AI music tools to the platform, complete with fan-remix features that use real artist voices and tracks. They also rolled out AI-generated personal podcasts and launched Studio by Spotify, a standalone AI creation app. Gavin and Kevin break down why this changes everything for music, who actually signs up, and why the fan backlash is just beginning. Meanwhile, a Higgsfield AI feature film just premiered at Cannes for $500,000 total cost, but $400,000 of that was pure AI compute, raising big questions about what the new economics of filmmaking actually look like. Plus, an unreleased OpenAI general LLM model disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry that had stood for 80 years, the best new Google Omni prompts and practices and a humanoid robot fail that traveled the entire internet IS IT TIME TO PANIC? NO, SAYS THESE TWO MORONS. // Show Links // Spotify's Official Announcement: Artist-First AI Music Collaboration https://newsroom.spotify.com/2025-10-16/artist-first-ai-music-spotify-collaboration/ Billboard Coverage Of The Spotify AI Music Deal https://x.com/billboard/status/2057479053649600917?s=20 Spotify's AI-Generated Personal Podcasts (Hollywood Reporter) https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/spotify-ai-generated-personal-podcasts-1236603314/ Higgsfield Cannes Film: $500K To Make, $400K Was AI Compute https://www.wsj.com/cio-journal/this-cannes-film-cost-500-000-to-make-400-000-was-ai-compute-costs-a823b08d?mod=e2tw The Impact Of AI In Four Charts https://x.com/marcportermagee/status/2057000000000000000?s=20 Google Omni Horseback Riding Prompt https://x.com/AIWarper/status/2057489859615605244?s=20 FoFR Animals With Google Omni https://x.com/fofrAI/status/2057281646270026097 FoFR Rooster Dog https://x.com/fofrAI/status/2057290425170616754?s=20 Clean Up The Alley Prompt https://x.com/nmatares/status/2057143283357569280?s=20 Ogre Walks On Stage https://x.com/maxescu/status/2057169603001004400?s=20 US Gov Poster Situation https://x.com/usedgov/status/2056839488152670378?s=20 OpenAI Model Disproves Central Conjecture In Discrete Geometry https://openai.com/index/model-disproves-discrete-geometry-conjecture/ Noam Brown's Post About The OpenAI Breakthrough https://x.com/polynoamial/status/2057178198228586824?s=20 The Humanoid Robot Fail That Traveled The Internet https://x.com/adamcurtisbroll/status/2057050384166764826?s=20 Ben Relles Launches Make Believe (Hollywood Reporter) https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/new-interactive-ai-startup-make-believe-ben-relles-1236602882/
