Google Is Cooking Again. The I/O Leaks Are Wild.

Thanks to @HPInc & Intel for sponsoring us! More on the Zbook Fury bit.ly/4uapNHs
Google I/O is next week and the AI leaks are pouring out: a new Spark agent, Veo 4 Omni, Gemini 3.2 Flash that's reportedly 20x cheaper than GPT-5.5.
This week on AI For Humans, Google is cooking again and the I/O leaks are stacking up. We dig into Google Spark, a new Gemini agent that may have access to your entire digital life. Veo 4 Omni model leaks suggest deeper reasoning and character consistency, and the model gets math right. Gemini 3.2 Flash is rumored to deliver 90% of GPT-5.5's capability at a fraction of the cost and dramatically faster speeds. There's a new GoogleBook with Gemini built in. And Google is reinventing the mouse cursor, the input device that's been largely unchanged since 1968, with voice AI.
Plus, Thinking Machines dropped voice interactivity demos that feel a lot like ChatGPT Voice from two years ago. OpenAI is reportedly already working on GPT-5.6, and Sam Altman is giving away two free months of Codex to companies to drive adoption. Gavin's been experimenting with local open-source LLMs and shares his setup.
AND…we get into the data center sickness conversation: infrasound from data centers may be causing cortisol spikes in nearby communities. Figure 03's package sorting livestream proved the robot is autonomous after skeptics accused it of being teleoperated. Unitree dropped a transformable robot.
AI KEEPING US UP AT NIGHT. NO MATTER. WE COOK.
