A blockbuster New York Times story says the White House may soon require AI models to be approved before public release, with Anthropic's Mythos at the center of it all.

This week on AI For Humans, a major New York Times story revealed that the White House may soon require AI models to be approved by the government before public release. Anthropic's unreleased Mythos model appears to be the catalyst. The administration wants to avoid political fallout from any devastating AI-enabled cyberattack and is also evaluating whether new AI models could yield capabilities useful to the Pentagon and US intelligence agencies. Some officials are pushing for a review system that would give the government first access to AI models. Is this AI nationalization? Not quite, but it's the closest we've come. We dig into what this means and whether Anthropic's scare tactics around Mythos worked.

Sam Altman weighs in on how we get better AI narratives. Even Zach Galifianakis on Conan's podcast went full AI doomer. Plus, AI just outperformed doctors on emergency triage diagnoses in a Harvard trial.

Then, we discuss AI microdramas exploding in China and starting to land in the US (PineDrama, Knocked Up Husband Edition, DJ Grandma in the House), what this means for video production, and Gavin's uprezzed Grape Fall images via ChatGPT Images 2.0.

Oh and Kevin's moving across the world today, so Friend of the Pod Ben Relles is co-hosting.

AI LOCKDOWN. AI MICRODRAMAS. AI FOR… HUMANS?
