Gemini 3.1 Just Dropped. SuperIntelligence Is Coming. We're Fine.
Episode 149
Friday, 20 February, 2026

Sam Altman says superintelligence is two years away. Google just dropped Gemini 3.1 with benchmark scores that look like a full generation leap. The AI upgrade wars are here. But are we ready? Anthropic released Sonnet 4.6, OpenAI is rumored to be adding a spicy "Citron Mode" to GPT-5.3, and Sam and Dario Amodei refused to hold hands on stage like two kids at a school dance. Plus Hollywood is threatening to sue over Seedance 2.0, Google's new Lyria 3 AI music model is fine (we tested it with a McNugget rap), the OpenClaw founder got hired by OpenAI, and Kevin made Mr. Tibs delete himself to create a better version. He's fine with it. Probably. SUPERINTELLIGENCE IN TWO YEARS AND THEY CAN'T EVEN HOLD HANDS. WE'RE FINE. #ai #ainews #openai 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 // Dario Amodei & Sam Altman Can't Hold Hands https://x.com/Yuchenj_UW/status/2024366483917459659?s=20 Sam Altman on SuperIntelligence https://x.com/clashreport/status/2024401234447520220?s=20 Google Gemini Pro 3.1 https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/gemini-models/gemini-3-1-pro/ New Photoshoot Update to Google Pompeii https://x.com/GoogleLabs/status/2024529795548102667?s=20 Claude Sonnet 4.6 https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-sonnet-4-6 SVG Results from 4.5 to 4.6 https://x.com/scaling01/status/2023840565641556439?s=20 OpenAI's 'Citron Mode' Soon = Spicy Mode? https://x.com/btibor91/status/2024456593669231032?s=20 Netflix, Disney & Paramount All Threaten Seedance 2.0 https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/netflix-bytedance-immediate-litigation-seedance-ai-1236666084/ Seedance 2.0 Output Restrictions https://x.com/jamesjyu/status/2024305814950101034?s=20 Seedance 2.0 Dor Brothers $200m Movie https://x.com/thedorbrothers/status/2023460644905742577?s=20 Seedance 2.0 FERAL trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmhiZ5OQBW0 Operation You Know What (Charles Curran Seedance 2.0) https://x.com/charliebcurran/status/2023611358160597060?s=20 Seedance Dark Cats: https://x.com/pleometric/status/2023231194050052508?s=20 Trust Everything You See on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@trusteverythingyousee Google's Lyria 3 https://deepmind.google/models/lyria/ https://x.com/GoogleAI/status/2024154215182926027?s=20 OpenClaw Founder Joins OpenAI https://x.com/sama/status/2023150230905159801?s=20 HermitClaw: One Sandboxed Area, Learning https://x.com/brendanh0gan/status/2023230513230614563?s=20 Contra: Agents Buy From Creatives (New Start-up) https://x.com/contraben/status/2024182864506761617?s=20 Unitree Robots Training For Chinese New Year Look Scary https://x.com/rohanpaul_ai/status/2024025865328488690?s=20 Chinese New Year Celebration Comparison: https://x.com/kimmonismus/status/2023388775511191699?s=20 AI Boston Dynamics Video? https://x.com/Rainmaker1973/status/2023791639601230195?s=20 Scary Robot Deployment https://x.com/ClaytonMorris/status/2024501307659407371/video/1 Riley Brown's OpenClaw to Blender https://x.com/rileybrown/status/2024334527217455270?s=20 Amazing Non-Seedance 2 AI Video Space Pirate Vibes https://x.com/ryanlightbourn/status/2023581484766875948?s=20
