## Resource

Google DeepMind dropped Project Genie and you can now walk around AI-generated 3D worlds. DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis says this is the path to the holodeck. He's not wrong. Meanwhile Clawd aka ClawdBot and now Moltbot is giving people AI superpowers… spawning agents, teaching itself skills, connecting to everything in your life. It's also a massive security risk and people are spending thousands on API calls. You *probably* shouldn't use it. Plus… Grok video is suddenly really good, KREA real-time generation, a robot that hip-checks dishwasher drawers, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's sobering new essay, and the dead internet theory is no longer a theory. THE ROBOTS ARE DOING CHORES NOW. WE'RE SO BACK. #ai #ainews #projectgenie Come to our Discord: https://discord.gg/muD2TYgC8f Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AIForHumansShow AI For Humans Newsletter: https://aiforhumans.beehiiv.com/ Follow us for more on X @AIForHumansShow Join our TikTok @aiforhumansshow To book us for speaking, please visit our website: https://www.aiforhumans.show/ // Show Links // Google Project Genie: Playable Worlds (formerly Genie 3) https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/google-deepmind/project-genie/ Josh Woodward (VP of AI Studio and more @ Google) low poly 3D cowboy https://x.com/joshwoodward/status/2016921839038255210?s=20 Theoretically Media: Realistic Hollywood Blvd & New York https://x.com/TheoMediaAI/status/2016919987428991107?s=20 Ethan Mollack: Otter Pilot in an Airport https://x.com/emollick/status/2016919989865840906?s=20 Clawdbot (Now MoltBot) Insanity https://clawd.bot/ Creator Peter Steinberger On TBPN https://x.com/tbpn/status/2016306566077755714?s=20 Good long post on the pros / cons & safety concerns https://x.com/Andrey__HQ/status/2016228427901370760?…
