Why parents and politics amplify AI fears

Claude Mythos Preview might break the internet, Florida is suing OpenAI and datacenter protests are spreading. This is the AI backlash.

This week on AI For Humans, we're having a frank conversation about the growth of anti-AI sentiment and what we (as humans) can do about it. Florida's Attorney General launched an investigation into ChatGPT and OpenAI over the dangers of AI to children. Datacenter protests are rising across the country, with xAI facing accusations of poisoning local communities. Bernie Sanders and Hank Green are calling for slowing down while Sam Altman is proposing new taxes for when AI does all the work. Oh and Demis Hassabis says he'd rather have cured cancer than compete with ChatGPT. We dig into how the stories we tell about AI shape public perception, starting with last week's Mythos as cyberweapon framing. Is AI the problem or are we the problem?

Plus, Meta surprised everyone with Muse Spark, a new AI model that's actually pretty good. Claude shipped managed agents, a monitor tool, and advisor strategy features. OpenAI introduced a $100/month plan and doubled Codex limits again. And OG content creator Captain Hahaa is doing incredible stuff with Seedance 2.0.

EVERYBODY HATES AI. WE DON'T. BUT… MAYBE WE SHOULD?
