Basically answered the question that came up in my webinar: how do you actually learn this stuff well enough to feel confident talking about it? I've curated a bunch of resources starting with the fun stuff like Casually Explained and Veritasium, then moving into Three Blue One Brown's neural networks series (which is brilliant but definitely requires your full attention on a treadmill or something). The key thing is you don't need to understand the maths to use AI, but if you're teaching it or just want to separate the possible from the impossible, knowing the basics is absolutely crucial. The whole guide is up on my website now with all the links, videos, and books I recommend. I've also been banging on about Notebook LM again because it's genuinely transformative—you can feed it any YouTube video and have it create a podcast explaining the concepts back to you. It's how I learn now. Oh, and we got into a bit of a discussion about the "messy middle" of AI disruption too. Even in the best-case utopian scenario, the next couple decades are going to be chaotic for a lot of people, which is why I'm focused on getting a million people AI-ready rather than just telling them not to worry about it.

Essentially, it's a dedicated space inside ChatGPT where you can dump all your health data—Apple Health, blood tests, your genome, the lot—and use it as a proper health assistant. The clever bit isn't just the product itself, it's the lock-in strategy. With 900 million users and about 30-40% already using it for health queries, this creates a proper moat. Once you've uploaded years of medical data, switching to another AI becomes an absolute faff. Plus, they've somehow got this past their lawyers, which is impressive given how dicey health data can be if anything goes sideways. Meanwhile, Utah's become the first state to let AI renew prescriptions without a doctor involved, and the numbers are genuinely mad. The AI matches human doctors 99.2% of the time, but here's the kicker—when there's a discrepancy, the AI is actually making the better decision 36% of the time versus doctors being better only 9% of the time. That's sort of game over for pharmacists doing repeat prescriptions. I also spent some time showing off Claude Code projects, including this slightly bonkers genome visualization I built after some soju. The point being, the barriers to starting a business are essentially zero now—it's all about distribution and actually having the bottle to just build the thing.

Most AI books age terribly because they were written before ChatGPT changed everything, but Mollick's book came out after GPT-3 dropped, so it focuses less on specific technologies and more on the mental models we need for thinking about AI as a whole. It's genuinely useful stuff that hasn't gone stale, which is rare in this space. The key concepts I break down include the "jagged frontier"—why AI can be superhuman at one task and surprisingly rubbish at a similar one—and Mollick's four rules for working with AI: always invite it to the table, remain a human in the loop, treat it like a person (but define what kind), and assume this is the worst AI you'll ever use. That last one's crucial because people try AI once, get a bad result, and write it off forever. But these models are improving every single month, so what seems impossible today will probably be trivial in six months. We're all figuring this out as we go along, and anyone claiming to be an expert is either lying or deluded.

The catalyst for all this? Deloitte managed to embarrass themselves twice in 2025, charging the Australian government $440K for an AI-generated report full of hallucinations and made-up academics, then doing the exact same thing in Canada. These aren't small mistakes - they're bringing the entire consulting industry into question because nobody bothered to train their staff properly. The most I've been paid for this work is $4K for one hour, which is pretty mental when you think about it. The opportunity here is massive because there's this huge gap between what staff are doing and what companies know about. MIT found that 90% of employees are using AI at work, but only 40% of companies have actually provided training. That extra 50% are just winging it with their own ChatGPT accounts - what IT departments call "shadow IT" - and it's causing absolute chaos. The thing is, if you're watching someone talk about AI on a live stream, you're already miles ahead of the people who desperately need this help. Companies are genuinely panicking about this right now, and they'll pay well for someone to sort it out properly. I’m running a few live webinars walking you through the opportunity and how to get started: https://aiwithkyle.com/ai-workshop-series/webinar If you’ve missed the dates, but still interested in becoming an AI trainer, head here: https://aiwithkyle.com/ai-workshop-kit Watch full edited live stream: https://youtu.be/8yJHxkBjj-s —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 How I Make $4,000/Hour Teaching AI to Businesses 1:24 Deloitte's $440K AI Disaster - They Did It Twice 3:09 Shadow IT Crisis: 90% Using AI, Only 40% Trained 5:13 Free Webinar Announcement 6:06 The AI Capability Overhang 8:30 You Don't Need to Be an AI Expert 9:37 Why the PhD Trainer Failed: The KPMG Story 11:25 Finding Your AI Niche 13:06 Why Workshops Beat Social Media and Consulting 15:08 The 60-Minute Workshop Framework 18:30 What Employers Actually Want: Safety Training 19:02 Workshops as a Reusable Asset 19:20 Overcoming Fear of Public Speaking 20:58 Q&A: Online vs In-Person Workshops 23:45 Course and Resources 23:56 Q&A: Lovable for E-commerce?

I've been using it daily for years, and while it's been brilliant for coding, people are now realising it can do so much more than just write programs. There's genuine excitement brewing that this might be the closest thing we have to AGI right now. The barrier for most people has been that it looks intimidating compared to ChatGPT, but once you get past that initial hesitation and actually start playing around with it, you realise why everyone's going mad for it (In this session I walk you through how to get started with Claude Code). On a completely different note, I've been banging on about the massive opportunity in AI training for 2026. McKinsey found that 94% of companies say they need AI training, but only 1% of staff have received adequate training. That's not a gap, that's a canyon. We're moving out of the experimental phase where companies just gave everyone access to ChatGPT and said "figure it out" — now they actually need to see returns on investment. The brilliant thing is you don't need a PhD in machine learning to teach this stuff. What companies actually need are people who understand their specific industry and can communicate why AI matters in language they understand.

Sam Altman's description talks about jumping into the deep end immediately, dealing with models that are getting so good at cybersecurity they're finding critical vulnerabilities, and preparing for AI systems that can self-improve. It's basically the real-world version of that "kill switch engineer" meme from earlier this year, except this time they're actually serious about needing someone to figure out how to let the good guys use cutting-edge AI capabilities whilst keeping the bad guys from doing the same. The urgency in the language is what gets me—why now, why didn't they have this role before, and what exactly is happening inside OpenAI that's prompted this? Meanwhile, Meta's just acquired Manus for somewhere between $1-5 billion, which is a bit of a surprise. Manus was one of the first consumer-facing agentic AI tools that could actually go off and do proper research tasks, but honestly, it's been losing ground to Claude and ChatGPT who've both added similar capabilities. The acquisition makes sense for Meta—they're probably going to strip it for parts and integrate the tech into their ad business rather than keep it as a standalone product. And in a nice reality check, I looked at Axios's news cycle chart for 2025 and AI barely registers—just one mention of the "AI bubble." Whilst we're all deep in this world talking about model releases and capabilities, the rest of the world is still focused on everything else. Good reminder that we're in our own little bubble here.

Not much has happened. Everyone's been on holiday, which gave me time to think about what I'm calling the "capability overhang" — basically the massive gap between what AI can actually do right now and what most people think it can do. Their brains are still stuck in 2018 worrying about counting Rs in strawberries, whilst Claude and ChatGPT are out here solving genuinely complex problems. I reckon 2026 is going to be the year we finally close that gap, if AI trainers and educators enter the arena. I also went through my ChatGPT Wrapped live on stream, which was equal parts fascinating and embarrassing. Turns out I'm in the top 1% of users despite doing most of my actual work in Claude — I use ChatGPT for the persistent memory when I need to think through ideas quickly. The big takeaway from today though is this capability overhang represents a genuine opportunity. Companies like Deloitte are making absolute fools of themselves by using AI poorly, which means there's real money in teaching businesses how to use these tools properly. I charge about £2K an hour for workshops, and it's easy work because most people just need someone to show them what's already possible.

Reuters is saying China has reverse-engineered ASML's extreme ultraviolet lithography machines - the only tech on earth that can make cutting edge AI chips. I spent a chunk of the show explaining why this matters: there's literally one Dutch company (ASML) that makes these machines, they cost about 200 million quid each, and up until now China's been locked out because of Western export controls. If they've cracked it, the entire semiconductor bottleneck just collapsed. We're talking about China potentially producing their own advanced chips by 2028 instead of a decade from now. The other curveball is Trump's just lifted the ban on selling H100 chips to China, which feels like odd timing given everything else. I also covered Google's NotebookLM teaming up with Manus to let you actually edit AI-generated presentations, which is genuinely useful - took me five minutes to make something that would've taken all day. But honestly, the chip story is the one to watch. If China achieves semiconductor independence, the entire AI arms race changes overnight.

It's basically a frontier-level model that costs four times less than Gemini 3 Pro, we're talking 50 cents per million input tokens instead of $2. The wild thing is it's not just cheap, it's actually better than their premium model in certain benchmarks. If you're a developer trying to build apps without haemorrhaging money on API calls, this is the kind of release that makes you sit up and pay attention. Google's absolutely dominated the end of this year, and this cements it. We also got ChatGPT's new Atlas image model and Bernie Sanders calling for a complete moratorium on data centres, but the story that really stuck with me was this piece from The Spectator. A senior British barrister gets drunk with a journalist mate and basically admits the legal profession is finished. He ran an experiment where AI replicated his day-and-a-half of work in 30 seconds AND it was better. His advice to his niece who wants to study law? "Please do not destroy your life." It's anecdotal, sure, but it's the kind of honest conversation people are having behind closed doors. The bottom's falling out of industries faster than most people realise, and we need to be ready for it.

A new tier list from Interconnects puts DeepSeek at the top, followed by Qwen and Kimi - all Chinese labs. Meta's Llama models? They've been relegated to an "honourable mention" at the bottom, which is pretty embarrassing considering Zuckerberg spent hundreds of millions poaching engineers and then hasn't released anything in months. The whole top tier is Chinese models, and they're not just good, they're genuinely brilliant, and they're giving them away completely open-source. You can fine-tune them, deploy them on your own servers, do whatever you want with them. The irony? While American labs like OpenAI and Anthropic are locking everything down behind paywalls and API subscriptions, China's playing the long game. Their models are being used in Y Combinator startups, they're spreading across the developing world, and they're getting better precisely because they're open. It's a completely different business model and development paradigm, and right now, it's winning. Whether it's strategic genius or just a different approach to software development, China's figured out that giving away world-class AI models might be more valuable than charging for them.

AI has made creating products ridiculously easy, which is brilliant and also a massive problem. AI tool directories are basically graveyards now. You can build something excellent, but without distribution, you're non-existent. I don't care how good your product is; Microsoft Teams beating Slack proves distribution trumps quality every time. The solution isn't borrowing audiences or burning cash on ads - it's building in public. Document your journey, create daily content, and build your own audience whilst building your product. This isn't about becoming an influencer; it's about creating a distribution channel for what you're selling. I walked through my approach to building an audience through consistent video content, removing friction from creation, and showing up daily until the algorithm rewards you. We covered why marketing should be step two of your business plan, not an afterthought. I also touched on the technical side: how I use Claude to plan projects and tools like Cursor and Lovable to actually build things without being a native coder. The barriers to entrepreneurship have collapsed, which is brilliant for people with ideas but no technical background. If you've got a business idea, the tools exist to make it real, BUT only if you've sorted out how to get it to people.

I've been testing it out with a silly personal quest, trying to identify a childhood PC game from scattered memories, and it finally cracked it (Virus 2000, if you're curious). But beyond my trivial victories, the benchmarks are genuinely impressive. It's dominating the ARC-AGI-2 leaderboard, forcing them to literally extend the scale because previous models are now squished into irrelevance at the bottom. What's really wild though is the cost efficiency: a task that cost $4,500 to run a year ago with their O3 model now costs $11.64 with 5.2, and it gets better results. That's a 400x reduction in twelve months, which is the kind of exponential progress people miss when they're busy saying "AI can't do X." The other massive news is Disney investing $1 billion into OpenAI with a proper intertwined deal. It's not just money - it's a three-year licensing agreement letting Sora generate videos with Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars characters that'll stream on Disney Plus. Disney's also becoming a major OpenAI customer, deploying ChatGPT across their business and building new tools with their APIs. The timing's a bit odd since Sora development is paused for eight weeks, but the commercial and legal implications are fascinating. This feels like battle lines being drawn, especially with Netflix eyeing Warner Brothers (and therefore DC) for what looks like their own AI play. It's Marvel versus DC, but backed by competing tech giants.

OpenAI's been doing their usual Thursday release schedule, and Sam Altman's been cryptically tweeting about garlic - which is the code name for whatever they're launching. This is their response to Gemini 3, and there's been some internal drama with people saying the model should be delayed, but executives pushed it through anyway. Classic OpenAI move. The pressure's on because they wouldn't release it unless it beats Gemini 3 in the benchmarks, so we'll see if they've actually pulled it off or if this is just another rushed launch to save face. Meanwhile, I spent most of the show talking about something I've been noticing more and more - the growing dread in the scientific community about AI coming for their jobs. You've got researchers making posts about how AI can never create novel knowledge or assist in real science, which is just bonkers when you look at what's actually happening with tools like AlphaFold. There's also a Pentagon committee forming to discuss AGI implications for national security, which suggests the government's finally taking this seriously. Not sure if that's reassuring or worrying that they're only just getting around to it now, but here we are.

The ad featured AI-generated families experiencing physical comedy mishaps—presents flying off roofs, exploding Christmas trees, the lot—but the whole thing just falls flat because AI can't nail physicality. The physics don't work, the cat falling looks weird, and when you're doing slapstick, you need actual physical comedy to sell it. They pulled it from YouTube after getting absolutely roasted in the comments, but of course, the internet never forgets. I've got a copy and I'll share it in the newsletter so you can judge for yourself. The bigger issue here is the grim use of AI in creative fields, replacing actors and crew just to save money. It's cost-cutting dressed up as innovation, and it's not a use of AI I'm particularly supportive of. Meanwhile, we're still waiting on GPT-5.2, which looks like it'll drop Thursday following OpenAI's usual release schedule. They've been in "code red" mode since last week with everyone speculating they'd panic-release something, but they seem to be sticking to their timeline. I also had a look at Google's new Stitch tool, which promises to redesign your website using their new model—sounds brilliant in theory. In practice? Absolutely terrible. It completely ignored my actual content, replaced me with some random bloke, invented services I don't offer, and made everything black and white. The promise is cool, but the execution is half-baked, which is classic Google unfortunately. They've shut down 300 products over the years, so this feels like another one destined for the graveyard.

This is genuinely surprising because national security concerns were supposedly the entire reason for blocking these sales in the first place. Jensen Huang's been lobbying hard for this, and it looks like it's worked, though Nvidia still has to cough up 15% of Chinese revenues to the US government, which is frankly just a corporate bribe dressed up in policy language. Meanwhile, Singapore's been buying about 30% of all Nvidia's chips for a country that size, which is... suspicious, shall we say. On the OpenAI front, we're expecting ChatGPT 5.2 (or possibly 5.5) to drop this week — probably Thursday if they stick to form. Sam Altman put the company into code red mode last week after Gemini 3 rattled them, so they've paused everything else to focus entirely on this release. I also spent a good chunk of the show discussing the inevitable reality that ChatGPT will have to introduce advertising at some point because their current financial model is completely unsustainable. They're burning through billions, and whilst nobody wants ads in their AI chat, it's coming. Google's probably thrilled about this because they can sit back and watch OpenAI take all the heat for going first.

Check out Freedom OS: https://aiwithkyle.com/join-freedom-os This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’ First aired: 8 December 2025 Summary: I spent this stream digging into a fascinating NYU study about AI-generated advertising—turns out AI visuals get 20% more clicks than human-made ones, but only if people don't know it's AI. The moment they realize it's generated, clicks drop 31%. It's a bizarre psychological quirk that reveals our conflicted relationship with this technology. I also covered the thinking game documentary featuring Geoffrey Hinton, which honestly exceeded expectations and gave some surprisingly candid insights on AGI timelines. Plus, there's ongoing speculation about OpenAI's upcoming "Garlic" model meant to beat Gemini 3, though Google's already moved the goalposts with Deep Think. I used the rest of the time answering questions about AI business ideas and market validation. The key takeaway: just slapping AI onto something doesn't make it valuable. You need to solve real problems before automation matters. Everything from faceless YouTube schemes to proper AI-driven market research came up, and I tried to cut through the noise about what actually creates value versus what's just tech for tech's sake.

Turns out 52% of AI usage is for creative roleplay and companionship apps. Yes, that includes romantic chatbots and not-safe-for-work stuff. This is the side of AI we don't really talk about in our space—whilst I'm here banging on about productivity and business applications, half the market is having digital companions and writing elaborate fantasy scenarios. Character AI, Janitor AI, Spicy Chat—they're all sitting there in the top consumer apps list alongside ChatGPT and Claude. It's actually mad when you think about it. In other news, Claude Code has officially killed off the "you are absolutely right" meme. Someone built an entire tracker called Absolutely Right LLL just to measure how often Claude would say it, and since Opus 4.5 dropped, it's flatlined. Bit sad really—I wanted to get a mug made. Also, I'm relaunching my free community for anyone interested in learning how to use AI without feeling overwhelmed.

Check out Freedom OS: https://aiwithkyle.com/join-freedom-os This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’ First aired: 4 December 2025 Summary: OpenAI found themselves in a bit of a pickle this week when paid ChatGPT users started seeing what looked suspiciously like ads in their chats. Someone was asking about Windows BitLocker and suddenly got served a Target shopping ad at the bottom of his conversation—despite paying $20 a month for Plus. OpenAI's Chief Research Officer jumped in to clarify these aren't actually ads, they're "apps" from pilot partners like Target and Peloton, meant to augment the user experience. But here's the thing: if it looks like an ad, smells like an ad, and interrupts your conversation to suggest you go shopping... it's probably an ad, regardless of what corporate terminology you dress it up in. Meanwhile, China's DeepSeek dropped their 3.2 model that's performing at GPT-4 levels whilst costing about 1/20th the price—which is genuinely impressive and a bit concerning for Western AI companies. And in Claude news, Opus 4.5 has finally rolled out to Pro users in Claude Code, though the rate limits are so restrictive that one prompt might be your lot for the week. It's brilliant when you can use it, but forcing paying customers to switch to competitors mid-task because you've run out of capacity is still a massive product design flaw, no matter how good the model is.

Check out Freedom OS: https://aiwithkyle.com/join-freedom-os This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’ First aired: 3 December 2025 Summary: OpenAI is having a bit of a moment, and not the good kind. Sam Altman's sent out an internal memo declaring "code red" after Gemini 3 and Claude Opus absolutely spanked them in performance. They've paused everything—ads, AI agents, even that health assistant thing—to refocus entirely on making ChatGPT the best chatbot in the world again. It's quite the reversal considering they've had free reign for the last couple years whilst Google played catch-up. Now the tables have turned and suddenly they're the ones scrambling. They're promising a new reasoning model next week that'll supposedly blow Gemini out of the water, but we'll see about that. The broader picture here is fascinating though, because we're watching the market dynamics shift in real time. Google can afford to keep everything free indefinitely—they've got that sweet advertising money—which could be genuinely anti-competitive if they just wait for OpenAI to collapse under their own costs. Add in the Chinese models offering basically the same thing for pennies on the API, and suddenly those 2026 IPO plans look a lot less attractive. It's going to be messy, and whatever landscape we're looking at now won't be the same in a couple years. Also, I finally watched The Thinking Game documentary about DeepMind and it's absolutely brilliant—even my girlfriend got riveted by it, which says something.

Check out Freedom OS: https://aiwithkyle.com/join-freedom-os This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’ First aired: 2 December 2025 Summary: OpenAI has apparently declared a code red, and honestly, it's not hard to see why. After years of essentially having the consumer AI space to themselves, they're now getting properly squeezed from both sides. On one flank, you've got Chinese models like DeepSeek V3.2 that are open source, competitive in performance, and 20 times cheaper on the API. On the other, Google's Gemini has suddenly become a legitimate contender. App downloads are surging, people are actually asking "should I use Gemini or ChatGPT?", which is a question nobody was entertaining even a month ago. The panic is real enough that they've apparently pushed back their controversial ads rollout, presumably because they know losing goodwill right now would be catastrophic. What's fascinating here is watching OpenAI transition from being synonymous with AI itself to just being one player among several. They've had a good run with essentially no serious competition for a couple of years, but that comfortable position is evaporating fast. The hype machine is already spinning up—OpenAI reps are on social media promising "something big"—so presumably we'll see them try to reassert dominance soon. Whether it's enough remains to be seen, but the era of smooth sailing is definitely over. Competition is good for all of us, of course, but it's certainly not pleasant if you're the one scrambling to maintain your lead.
