Episode Description from the Publisher

Anthropic just shipped Claude Opus 4.8: warmer, a little smarter, same price. But the real story is Claude Mythos, the bigger AI model coming to everyone in weeks. This week on AI For Humans: Claude Opus 4.8 landed and it's a little smarter, a lot warmer, and somehow the same price. A solid but incremental bump. Then Anthropic buried the lede: Claude Mythos, an even more powerful model class held back only by cybersecurity safeguards, is coming to everyone in weeks. The upgrade you got isn't the one to watch. Plus: Amazon greenlights three generative AI projects and the haters rejoice (and threaten), ElevenLabs brings Stan Lee's voice to its Iconic Voices library, Hideo Kojima gets called out for AI, Spielberg draws his line in the AI sand, and Gavin unveils The Fishbowl, his small AI experiment.  THE NEXT ONE'S ALWAYS BIGGER. THAT'S WHAT… NO I MUST NOT.
