Seedance 2.5 Just Crushed AI Video. America Is Stalling.
About this episode
The episode discusses the unveiling of ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 AI video model and the current state of the American AI industry.
ByteDance just unveiled Seedance 2.5, a new state-of-the-art AI video model with 30-second one-shot generations, as American AI stalls out and Fable 5 stays down. This week on AI For Humans, China is not just catching up in AI, it is pushing the edge. We break down everything Seedance 2.5 can do and why a 30-second single-pass clip is a real leap, then dig into the American slowdown as Fable 5 stays unusable and the rumor mill points to a big delay week. Plus Theo Von's surprisingly intense anti-datacenter rant, OpenAI's claim that China is behind the anti-datacenter conversation, Meta leaking private employee data across the entire company, and Google teaming with A24 on a 75 million dollar AI filmmaking partnership. We close with AI that actually works, including how Gavin used beehiiv's MCP to build a newsletter survey and Kevin's homemade language-learning app. CHINA IS COOKING. AMERICA IS LOADING.
