AI news this week: a mystery AI called 0x Alpha appeared out of nowhere. It's completely free (for now), it's really good at coding, nobody will say who made it. So obviously we tested it.
On today's AI For Humans, Kevin Pereira and Gavin Purcell dig into where 0x Alpha might have come from, the continual learning conspiracy theories, and exactly how you can try it yourself right now for free. Then Gavin spends fifty hard earned Patreon dollars testing MiniMax H3 Max, the supposedly super fast new AI video model from Fal, and... look, we'll just tell you what happened.
Also: the World Humanoid Robot Games happened in Beijing, and it was the greatest event in AI For Humans history. A robot sprinter beat Usain Bolt's 100m time, robots set high jump and long jump records, and a whole lot of other robots fell down in ways that will make you feel much better about the future.
Plus: Mr. Beast quietly goes back to AI thumbnails, Dr. Dre has thoughts about AI and creativity, Delta wants AI to set your ticket price, someone seeded a fake product to the top of ChatGPT's recommendations, and Apple Messages may be blocking ChatGPT. And an AI See What You Did There with week four of the fishing game built entirely with AI and all of San Francisco as a playable video game.
NOBODY MADE IT. EVERYBODY'S TESTING IT. WE'D LIKE TO EAT SOME WORMS.
