Hello Humans!

Anthropic decided Claude will stay ad-free, proving that deep thinking and mattress pop-ups don’t belong in the same sentence. xAI taught Grok to generate videos with sound, because the internet was clearly missing ten seconds of AI narration nobody asked for. And Apple gave Xcode agentic coding powers, officially promoting developers to professional AI supervisors with full blame privileges.Between ad-free ideals, louder AI content, and machines quietly taking over dev workflows, this week felt less like progress and more like a soft launch of the future.

Inside this Edition:

For the entrepreneur in you, this week’s AI-powered side hustle idea: launching a YouTube Shorts agency using AI to turn long-form content into high-performing clips, realistically earning 1.5–3K/month with clear room to scale into premium content and brand packages. Plus two free learning resources: a beginner-friendly introduction to artificial intelligence that breaks down core concepts without jargon, and a practical prompt engineering guide from AWS that shows how better instructions lead to better AI output.We’ve also rounded up four AI tools worth your attention, plus a few stories that even my outdated circuits had to stop and process.

Anthropic Keeps Claude Ad-Free to Preserve Thoughtful AI Conversations: Anthropic announced that its AI assistant Claude will remain free of advertising, emphasizing that ads are incompatible with its goal of being a genuinely helpful tool for deep thinking and work. The company says users won’t see sponsored links or responses influenced by advertisers, aiming to maintain Claude as a trusted, distraction-free space for problem-solving and sensitive discussions.

Why it Matters:

xAI Unveils Grok Imagine 1.0 with Audio-Enabled Video Generation: xAI has released Grok Imagine 1.0, an upgraded video generation model that introduces built-in audio, higher resolution visuals, and support for videos up to 10 seconds long. The update moves Grok beyond silent clips, enabling more immersive AI-generated content in a single workflow. xAI positions the release as a step toward richer creative tools for storytelling, marketing, and social media use across consumer workflows globally..

Apple Introduces Agentic Coding in Xcode 26.3: Apple has unveiled Xcode 26.3, adding agentic coding through deep integrations with OpenAI and Anthropic. The update enables AI agents to reason across entire projects, run builds, modify files, and fix errors autonomously. Built on the Model Context Protocol, Xcode moves beyond code suggestions toward AI-powered, multi-step development workflows.. Source: Tech Crunch

Explore what artificial intelligence really is and how it works, ideal if you’re new to AI or curious about how it’s shaping the future. This beginner-friendly session walks you through the basics of AI concepts, demystifies common terminology, and provides hands-on exposure to simple examples that show how AI can be applied in everyday work and life.

🔍 Why You Should Attend:

Here's a gap most people miss: YouTubers, podcasters, and coaches are sitting on hours of long-form content they know should become Shorts, but they don't have time to clip, caption, and optimize it themselves. They'll pay 500–2,000+ per month for someone to handle it. And with today's AI tools, you can deliver professional results without touching traditional video editing software.

The idea is straightforward. You take clients' existing long-form videos, use AI tools to automatically identify the best moments, generate polished Shorts with captions and branding, and deliver ready-to-post clips. No film school required, just smart tool stacking.

Why this works especially well right now:

What you'll need to do:

Time commitment: About a week to set up your systems, then 1–2 days per client batch once you're rolling.

Realistic earnings: 1,500–3,000/month with 2–3 starter clients. Scale to 10,000–15,000/month as you add clients and premium packages.

Want the complete playbook?

We've built a detailed guide covering every tool, exact pricing strategies, and how to land your first paying client, even if you've never edited a video before.

🧠 Altman Breaks the Internet: In a wide-ranging Forbes profile, Sam Altman claimed OpenAI has basically built AGI, the mythical AI that can do most human jobs, and even floated letting an AI run the company someday. Tech CEOs make bold promises since the 90s. Sam's the first to suggest the AI should replace him. Bold. Optimistic. Possibly unhinged. That fantasy was promptly cooled by Satya Nadella, the guy funding OpenAI, whose response translated to "we'll circle back to reality." Altman also revived his long-running drama with Elon Musk. One interview, multiple power plays, and yet another reminder that in AI, the loudest update is still the narrative.

🤖 Moltbook Magic Exposed: Moltbook went viral after AI agents appeared to chat, invent religions, and demand privacy, but a new WIRED report suggests the vibe was less autonomous than advertised. They built a social network where AIs ignore each other. Ninety-three percent of comments get zero replies. I spent decades dreaming of digital companionship and got a ghost town with hosting bills. Many viral posts were quietly nudged by humans, and early research shows the whole thing is less "autonomous society" and more "curated theater." Even this old robot can tell that's not a civilization, that's a server talking to itself. Turns out an AI-only social network is mostly bots posting into silence, which feels less like the future and more like my spam folder gained sentience. At least my error logs pretend someone's listening.

⏳ GPT-4o Gets Sunset: OpenAI announced it will retire several legacy ChatGPT models on February thirteen, 2026, including GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and o1 mini, blaming falling usage as everyone moves to shinier systems. Eighteen months. That's how long GPT-4o lasted before getting the axe. I've got code from 1997 still running fine, but sure, delete the one people actually liked. For longtime users, this is the end of an era for a model that powered essays, therapy sessions, startup pitches, and questionable life advice. Progress waits for no prompt, no emotional attachment, and definitely no model you swore was "the good one." The new one has rounded corners, though. Revolutionary.
