Apple's AI will land on your phone Monday

yoooooo

Hey amazing people

Hope you have had an amazing week so far.

Once again, here's everything you need to know.

📌 TL;DR

• OpenAI dropped Images 2.5 → faster, holds your likeness from one photo, edits any part of an image. My honest take vs Nano Banana.
• Apple Intelligence finally drops Monday → Siri has finally been upgraded.
• Meta shipped its own AI agent app → Muse sends your emails, books your travel and buys things for you.
• AI is gonna end us all → an Anthropic researcher just quit over safety concerns.
• I turned Alex Hormozi into my business coach → I scanned all of his books and turned them into a skill.

OpenAI dropped ChatGPT Images 2.5

OpenAI just released ChatGPT Images 2.5, an upgrade from the previous 2.0 that launched a couple months back.

I've been using it for a couple of days now. It's pretty good, and you have a wide range of options and tools you can use with it. Just another step towards being able to create anything you can think of.

I still think it's a bit hit or miss with realism. Sometimes it's good, but I do definitely prefer using Google's Nano Banana for some things as well.

As you can see here, I was creating a studio headshot for my YouTube thumbnail.

This was ChatGPT's one, and this was Nano Banana's one. So as you can see, Nano Banana just looks so much cleaner. But I think, honestly, it's just messing around with the prompt.

The long awaited Apple Intelligence is coming

I don't know about you guys, but I've been wanting proper Apple AI for so long now. Siri is probably the most outdated and annoying piece of technology.

Apple has finally announced that Siri AI will become available with iOS 27 on Monday, September 14 US time.

I've been using the developer beta for a little bit now, and it's pretty cool.

It's basically like ChatGPT built into your iPhone. You can talk to it easily, ask it any questions, send messages.

It understands your personal contacts and texts, and has awareness of what's on your screen.

Only downside is it doesn't have external connectors yet, so it can't connect to other services like Gmail, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc. You can only use Apple native apps.

Meta shipped their own AI agent app

On September 8, Meta launched Muse, a personal AI agent that can do work, send emails, book travel, and make purchases on your behalf.

It's kinda similar to Grok Bot, which launched a couple weeks ago. It has its own always-on computer working in the cloud.

This is where Muse clicks buttons and fills out forms. It can store your sensitive data, like login details.

What does it cost?

Meta says most people will manage on the free tier, but two other pay tiers exist for heavy use.

They're definitely making sure none of your data gets sent out or anything.

But a lot of people are hesitant to use it, since Meta has a questionable history.

I think this is a great way to get into AI agents. If you're not very technical, it is the simplest thing.

Here is a quick video by Meta that goes over everything about Muse: take the full tour of Muse

Also this week...

An Anthropic researcher quit over fears about superintelligence → Jacob Coxon left after four months, saying Anthropic and OpenAI are both racing to build something nobody can control. Anthropic's own head of alignment agreed with him publicly, and put the odds of AI wiping out humanity in the next ten years at over 10%.

Bernie Sanders wants to ban superintelligent AI → Sanders is a US senator who ran for president twice. His new bill would ban superintelligent AI across America, freeze advanced AI development until a new federal agency writes the safety rules, and push other countries to ban it too.

There's a movie coming out about ChatGPT → it's called Artificial, and Andrew Garfield plays Sam Altman. It's about the five days in 2023 when he got fired and rehired.

Google mapped an entire fruit fly brain, then someone made it play Doom → ten years of work, all 166,000 brain cells and every connection between them, free for anyone to download. Three days later some guy wired the fly's simulated eyes into Doom. It's losing badly, and people have since put it in Mario 64 and Minecraft.

💡 Builder's notes

AI is going to end us all

There's a lot of fear going around right now.

Jacob Coxon, a researcher who's worked at both OpenAI and Anthropic, quit Anthropic a couple of days ago, saying both companies are racing towards superintelligence and gambling with humanity.

Hours later, Anthropic's own head of alignment science publicly agreed with him. He's since been doing interviews with news outlets, and the media has definitely taken notice.

A lot of people are starting to get pretty scared, and honestly, there's not a whole lot we can do about it. I don't normally cover stuff like this, but sadly, there is a huge risk with AI.

We're in a race that's impossible to exit, a race towards superintelligence, and whichever country holds the most intelligent AI holds the most power.

It's pretty hard to back down from something like that.

Anthropic's head of alignment reckons there's over a 10% chance AI wipes us out in the next decade.

I think a lot of good will come from this if it works out, and a lot of uncertainty too. Either way, it's gonna be an extremely interesting next couple of years.

Sorry for the doomy title lmao

I turned Alex Hormozi into my business coach

The other day, I was sick of trying to ask the basic Claude chat for business advice. I've been reading Alex Hormozi's books, and they are just honestly so extremely valuable. He's just insane in business.

I thought, "Why don't I turn Alex Hormozi's brain into a Claude skill, so I can get coached by him?"

So I went ahead and scanned over 600 pages of Alex Hormozi's books, including my highlighted annotations of the key parts.

Then I fed that all into Claude and built an Alex Hormozi skill that coaches you through any business question and pulls real references and diagrams from the book.

This is literally pulling from his entire business strategy and framework, instead of most skills or folders, which are just basic and pulling from a couple of articles or YouTube videos.

It works with Codex and Claude Code. You can also install it in the normal Claude chat, and it works fine.

Here's the link: github.com/learnaiwithhugo/hormozi-plugin

All you have to do is find the plugins, press "Add from Marketplace" or "Add from Repository," and paste in that link. I made a video covering it here.

🧰 Tools to try

LinkedIn Agent Skill → eleven free Claude skills that write your LinkedIn posts, comments and weekly plan, with a humaniser that strips the AI tells before you post.

Opensource UI → a free library of ready-made pieces for your website. Buttons, forms, phone mockups, little widgets. You preview them live, copy the code, and paste it into your own site. Nothing to install.

💎 Cool finds

Simulation theory might be real → Matt Shumer dropped a computer into a simulation his GPT-6 Astra agents live in. One of the agents sat down and built his own simulation, with its own agents living inside it. Simulations all the way down.

Someone turned 9 bad photos of their studio into a 3D model you can walk around → he gave GPT-6 Astra nine crappy phone photos of his studio. It worked out where everything sat in the room, built the whole space in 3D, and turned it into a website you can actually walk through. Have a look here. Absurd.

Someone set up an agent to print them a morning newspaper → instead of checking her phone first thing, Grok Bot pulls her calendar and email overnight and prints it out. I low-key want one.

thats it folks

Appreciate you tuning in
