AI For Humans: Making Artificial Intelligence Fun & Practical

Claude Code is taking over and even the Wall Street Journal is Claude Pilled. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just said we're 6 months from AI doing most software engineering. No big deal.
Claude Code skills are exploding: Remotion for AI video editing, Pencil for infinite design canvases, Compound Engineering for spinning up agent fleets while you sleep. Your $200/month Max subscription doesn't stand a chance.
Plus Apple's working on an AI pin, Runway dropped Gen 4.5, LTX Studio has a wild audio-to-video model, and there's an AI monk with 2.5 million followers selling healing journeys.
WE'RE CLAUDE PILLED NOW. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

Apple just handed Siri over to Google Gemini. Meanwhile, Google's Personal Intelligence wants to crawl ALL your data. This is the AI lock-in war of 2026 and you're the prize.
Plus, Claude Cowork dropped (and they built it in two weeks), Grok can no longer put bikinis on people, and the US military is apparently running on Grok 4.20. Cool cool cool.
We've also got the world's biggest Twitch streamer being an AI anime girl, Google's Universal Commerce Protocol making AI shopping actually possible, and Gavin walks through building a personal website with Claude Code that doesn't suck.
THIS IS THE LOCK-IN EPISODE. YOUR DATA IS THE HARNESS.

https://www.gavinpurcell.com/

AI robots are taking over CES 2025 and we're not sure how to feel about it. Boston Dynamics Atlas is doing things with its body that no robot should be able to do. 
NVIDIA's new autonomous vehicle platform Alpa Mayo is coming for Tesla FSD. And you can now buy a $100 AI-powered drone that will hunt down whatever you point it at. Cool cool cool.
Plus, Google finally put Gemini in Gmail (we tested it so you don't have to), OpenAI is building a mysterious Johnny Ive audio device, and Claude Code with Opus 4.5 has coders losing their minds over something called Ralph Wiggum. Yes, that Ralph Wiggum.
We've also got ChatGPT Health, LG's towel-folding robot Clo, Unitree's intimidating 6-foot humanoid, and a look at what the future of AI agents might actually look like. Spoiler: it involves a lot of orchestration.
THE ROBOTS ARE FLEXIBLE AND WE DON'T LIKE IT.

ChatGPT Images (aka OpenAI's Image 1.5) can create stunning AI images, text and more. But how does it compare to Google's Nanobanana Pro? We dive in… way too deep.
Plus, new GPT-5.2 Codex, Gemini 3 Flash, YouTube's new vibecoded games, the controversy around Generative AI and game developer Larian Studios, a lego-like robot and, of course, seeing how AI video can cause soap opera actress hair to endlessly grow.

IT'S YET ANOTHER WEEK OF NEW RELEASES! AND WE DON'T STOP.
