Welcome back to the AI For Humans Newsletter!

We can all agree 2024 exceeded expectations, but 2025? We think it could be even more juicy 🤌

Freshly squeezed from Friday’s prediction video, here are 7 headlines we may see in 2025:

1. AI + Crypto Synergy:
   Expect the crypto world to latch onto AI. We’ll see more “AI agents” or “AI personalities” tied to tokens and on-chain transactions—especially in the first half of the year.
   

2. Code Generation Gets Fully “Cracked”:
   AI coding assistants will improve so much that “one-shotting” entire websites or apps becomes possible. People with zero coding background will spin up surprisingly robust software.
   

3. 2025 = The Year of the Agent:

   Autonomous AI systems that break big tasks into smaller ones (and complete them with minimal human supervision) will be everywhere—personal productivity, enterprise workflows, and beyond.
   

4. “Prompt to Hollywood” Approaches:

   AI video tools (like Genesis) will merge 3D engines (Unity, Unreal) with realistic generative content. Studios and VFX houses might shrink their teams from hundreds of artists to just a handful.
   

5. New Frontier Models by Mid-Year:

   With OpenAI’s O3 teased at the end of 2024, expect a flood of next-gen models from OpenAI, Meta, xAI, Anthropic, and others. Each might be only “25% better” than the last, but those steady improvements push us closer to AGI.
   

6. AI’s Role in Warfare:
   Military tech is advancing quickly, and new AI capabilities will almost certainly spill into defense. Fully or semi-autonomous systems could see major breakthroughs.
   

7. A Major “Mass Hallucination” Moment:

   Hyper-realistic AI-generated videos could spark a large-scale misinformation event that fools the media and the public, at least briefly.

The one thing we’re 100% sure of is 2025 will bring more surprises than ever, and we can’t wait to share the journey with you.

See you next week as we return to our regularly scheduled programming!

We 💛 This - Sora Loop

OpenAI’s Sora may not be the more realistic video model, but it comes packed with some incredibly powerful features. Among them, the ability to create a perfect loop. So we took this little video created with Kling, and used Sora to loop it.

Simply trim your video down, indicate how much time should be added to complete the loop, 2, 4 or 6 seconds, and hit generate.

Here’s the output. Sora nailed it on the first attempt, and it really is seamless!
