Description: AI NEWS: Salesforce CEO Mark Benioff says AI helped cut 4000 jobs from their workforce. Is this the start of a bigger trend? FYI, Optimus 3 isn’t *really* ready to take those jobs yet. Google’s NanoBanana continues to amaze us and we show off some really fun new ways to use it. Google *also* has a new vibecoding platform, a cool AI video real-time video model & a ‘boring’ but great open source AI image model. Then, at the end of the show, we go off the rails. WE ARE SORRY. YOU ARE GREAT. #ai #ainews #openai   Come to our Discord to try our Secret Project: 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 //  Salesforce Cuts 4000 Jobs Due To AI https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/salesforce-cuts-4000-jobs-due-ai-ceo-says Mark Benioff Interview https://youtu.be/0RkNkGihrvc?t=109 Figure 02 Taking Jobs At Home https://x.com/Figure_robot/status/1963266237426979300 Huge Oracle Layoffs As Well https://www.fastcompany.com/91397457/oracle-lays-off-thousands-or-more-globally-amid-rapid-ai-shifts Fed of St. Louis says job slowing may be because of AI  https://www.stlouisfed.org/on-the-economy/2025/aug/is-ai-contributing-unemployment-evidence-occupational-variation OpenAI’s New “Leadership” Guide On How To Champion AI At Work https://cdn.openai.com/pdf/ae250928-4029-4f26-9e23-afac1fcee14c/staying-ahead-in-the-age-of-ai.pdf Train to be a plumber?  https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/ai-which-jobs-are-skilled-trades-protected-what-to-know-rcna223249 More NanoBanana Tips & Tricks: Draw on Images with colors for location based suggestions https://x.com/Prashant_1722/status/1963048062659838127 Use a greenscreen to better create a background https://x.com/martinleblanc/status/1962793455609946242 Comfy Try-On  https://x.com/hellorob/status/1961861047859675172 Progressive sketch https://x.com/fofrAI/status/1963277460327543052 Techhalla’s very good rundown on putting himself in arcade games https://x.com/techhalla/status/1963333488217919668 Fabian’s GLIF hair demo (did we talk about this last week?
