Summary: OpenAI just dropped ChatGPT Health, and I reckon a lot of health tech startups are having a rather unpleasant morning. 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.

First aired: 7 January 2026
Summary: Today I'm doing something a bit different—giving a book report on "Co-Intelligence" by Ethan Mollick, one of the very few AI books I actually recommend people read. 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.

This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’ First aired: 6 January 2026
Summary: I spent this morning talking about something that's been making a steady stream of income over the last few years - teaching companies how to use AI without looking like complete idiots. 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.

First aired: 5 January 2026
Summary: Claude Code has suddenly become the talk of the internet, and honestly, it's about time people caught on. 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.

116: Today in AI: OpenAI’s "Head of Preparedness", Meta Buys Manus, AI Missing From News Cycle

This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’
First aired: 30 December 2025
Summary: OpenAI just posted a job listing that's equal parts fascinating and slightly terrifying—they're hiring a "Head of Preparedness" for $550K a year, and the wording is... interesting. 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.

First aired: 29 December 2025
Summary: I've been away for about a week, which in AI terms feels like a decade, but honestly? 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.

This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’
First aired: 19 December 2025
Summary: Right, so today's big story is absolutely massive if the reporting checks out. 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.

This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’
First aired: 18 December 2025
Summary: Google just dropped Gemini Flash 3, and honestly, it's a bit of a game-changer for anyone building with AI. 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.

First aired: 16 December 2025
Summary: China's absolutely dominated the open-source AI rankings this year, and it's not even close. 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.

This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’
First aired: 15 December 2025
Summary: Today I'm stepping away from the usual AI news coverage to talk about something more fundamental: building distribution for your business. 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.
