Summary: Yesterday I was at the AI for the Rest of Us conference in London giving a workshop, so apologies for missing the stream. But we're back with some genuinely exciting news: Anthropic just dropped Skills for Claude. These are essentially compartmentalised instruction sets that Claude can pull from when needed, rather than clogging up your context window with everything at once. Think of them like portable expertise packets where you can build skills for brand guidelines, tone of voice, specific workflows, and they work across Claude chat, Claude Code, and the API. I've literally just got access myself, so I'll be testing them properly over the weekend, but the potential here is massive. No more dumping enormous system prompts into every chat.

On the less cheerful side of things, we've got another cautionary tale about AI misuse. A barrister was caught using ChatGPT to prepare legal research and cited cases that simply didn't exist. Then he tried to hide it, which went about as well as you'd expect. This comes right after the Deloitte debacle where they charged the Australian government $440,000 for a report full of hallucinations. The message is clear: AI is brilliant, but you absolutely must verify outputs, especially in high-stakes situations. It's not an AI problem, it's a human problem. Also worth noting, Wikipedia's seeing an 8% drop in traffic as people increasingly get information via AI chatbots trained on their content. Interesting times ahead for how we value and sustain human-created knowledge.

Summary: Well, what a rollercoaster this week's been. California passed a bunch of AI safety bills on Monday, including age verification requirements, but then Governor Newsom vetoed the child protection piece. And literally the next day, Sam Altman announces ChatGPT will be adding erotica for verified adults by year's end. It feels a bit like OpenAI calling the lawmakers' bluff - "Fine, you're forcing us to age-gate? We'll get buck wild inside that gate then." Quite the about-face from a company that's been pretty conservative on this stuff. Meanwhile, Walmart's partnering with OpenAI to let you shop directly in ChatGPT, which is another step toward it becoming the everything app and, inevitably, an advertising platform.

I also covered this fascinating story about a Paralympic swimmer whose missing arm kept getting "fixed" by AI image generators - they just added it back in because the training data skews toward the average. OpenAI's apparently sorted it now, but it's a good reminder that these models reflect the internet we've fed them, not some conspiracy to exclude people. And there was this drama with a guy called Eric Hartford who got his entire ChatGPT account deleted with no warning or appeal - $200 a month subscriber, all his data gone. He kicked up enough fuss on Twitter to get reinstated, but it's a proper wake-up call about building businesses on closed platforms. They can just pull the plug whenever they fancy.

This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’

Summary: Right, so today was a bit of a mixed bag in AI land. The big story is California actually passing SB 243, which means AI companion chatbots now have proper guardrails — think age verification, suicide prevention protocols, and real transparency requirements. This comes after some genuinely tragic cases involving kids and chatbots like Character AI, plus that leaked Meta document showing they were allowing romantic chats with 13-year-olds, which was absolutely grim. OpenAI fought this hard, even served someone a subpoena over it, but Newsom signed it anyway. It goes live in January, and whilst some will cry overregulation, asking for basic transparency when you've got 800 million users seems fairly reasonable to me.

Meanwhile, Meta's on an absolute spending spree, poaching Andrew Tuk from Mira Murati's new startup Thinking Machines after he'd been there less than nine months. We're talking potential compensation packages of $1.5 billion for one researcher, which really puts into perspective how much money is sloshing around in this space — especially when you compare it to the EU's entire AI initiative budget of €1.1 billion. Also covered some interesting research showing AI actually widens the gap between top performers and average workers, which tracks with what I've been saying for ages: AI makes productive people more productive and lazy people more lazy. It's all about attitude and willingness to experiment with these tools, really.

This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’ First aired: 13 October 2025

Summary: Right, so October 13th and we've got Open AI sending subpoenas to tiny nonprofits like Encode (literally 3 people) who were advocating for California's SB 1047 transparency bill. Nathan Calvin got served at his home demanding private communications with legislators and former OpenAI employees, all under the guise of their Elon Musk lawsuit. Even Joshua Achiam, OpenAI's head of mission alignment, has publicly said "this doesn't seem great", which is quite the understatement when you're potentially risking your career to call out your own employer.

Beyond that drama, we've got the State of AI Report 2025 out, which is always a solid read. China's closing the gap with DeepSeek and others, reasoning models have defined the year, and apparently 44% of US businesses now pay for AI tools—up from 5% in 2023. Also having a think about whether plumbers are actually safe from AI, because 40% are already using it daily for diagnostics and knowledge work. The EU's announced a €1.1 billion AI plan which is laughably insufficient when you consider Mistral alone just raised €1.7 billion last month. And ChatGPT's testing in-app shopping and payments in India, plus rolling out direct messaging features.

This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’

Summary: Today was a bit different because frankly, there's almost nothing happening in AI news. No new models, no massive announcements which probably means we're due for something big next week, my money's on Gemini 3. Instead of scraping the barrel for non-stories, I decided to do something actually useful and walk through the best learning resources for getting a proper foundation in AI. Not the surface-level stuff, but the resources that'll actually help you understand what's happening under the hood of these large language models.

I started with the fun entry-level videos — Casually Explained and Exurb1a for the philosophical bits — then moved into the serious stuff like Three Blue One Brown's neural networks course and Steven Wolfram's excellent explainer. The real gold is Andre Karpathy's work, particularly his three-and-a-half hour deep dive into LLMs (yes, it's long, I did it on a treadmill). If you work through these resources over a couple of weeks, you'll genuinely know more about how these things work than 99% of people out there. I've also compiled everything into Monday's newsletter as a proper reference guide, so you don't have to frantically scribble notes.

This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’

Summary: Right, so Sora's had an absolutely massive launch. Actually bigger than ChatGPT's first week in terms of iOS downloads, which is mental considering you need an invite code to even use the thing. But it's sitting at a 2.9 rating on the App Store because OpenAI did what they always do. Let everyone run wild for a few days generating Pikachu getting barbecued and other mad stuff, then slammed the guardrails on once they'd hooked everyone in.

Naturally, Elon's spotted an opportunity and basically removed all censorship from Grok Imagine, we're talking full nudity, the works. Classic Elon move when he's not getting enough attention whilst OpenAI dominates the news cycle.

The other big story is consultancies having an absolute nightmare. Deloitte charged the Australian government $440k for a report that was riddled with AI errors and made-up footnotes, which for starters is embarrassing. Meanwhile, IBM's head of consulting is saying the entire industry needs to reinvent itself as software companies or they're done for. It's a fair point — why would anyone pay half a million quid for a consultancy to just chuck your brief into ChatGPT when you could do that yourself? The squeeze is real, and I reckon we're watching an entire industry try to work out what their value proposition actually is now that AI can do most of what they were charging eye-watering amounts for.

This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’ First aired: 8 October 2025

Summary: Right, so it's been a relatively quiet day in AI land which is saying something because we've still got Anthropic preparing to launch Claude Code on mobile (terrifying for my work-life balance, brilliant for productivity), Google expanding Opal to 15 more countries, and someone doing the detective work to figure out which companies are absolutely hammering OpenAI's API. Turns out Duolingo, Salesforce, and Shopify are up there, though the original analysis got the ranking a bit wrong because it was alphabetised by token usage tiers.

The other big story is Robin Williams' daughter having to publicly ask people to stop sending her AI-generated videos of her late father, which is honestly just grim. It's that classic pattern we see with every new model release, they leave it unrestricted for about a week to go viral, everyone creates deepfakes of celebrities and cartoon characters, then they flip the switch and add restrictions once they've owned the news cycle (and traffic). OpenAI are now talking about licensed content and revenue sharing with the likes of Disney, which is probably where this was headed all along. Also flagged up some good free resources from Deep Learning AI and Anthropic's new Academy if you're trying to keep up with all this madness.

Summary: OpenAI had their Dev Day yesterday and honestly, it was a lot to take in. The headline feature was their new app store—think Apple's App Store but for ChatGPT, letting developers build apps that connect directly into the platform's 800 million users. They showed off integrations with Figma, Canva, Zillow, and a bunch of others, which was genuinely impressive. But the real story that got buried under all the fanfare was OpenAI signing a massive deal with AMD for AI infrastructure. AMD's stock jumped 24% in a single day, adding $63 billion to their market cap. What's clever here is that OpenAI has now reduced their reliance on both Microsoft and Nvidia without spending a penny—it's all tied to future revenue. Sam Altman is basically rewriting the tech industry's supply chain through strategic partnerships.

This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’

Summary: Right, so today was pretty massive in the AI world. OpenAI are apparently dropping an agent builder later today at Dev Day, and honestly, it looks like they're about to absolutely demolish companies like Zapier, Make, and N8N. The leaked screenshots show this drag-and-drop canvas where you can build entire agentic workflows. It's giving proper infrastructure vibes rather than just another tool, and I can already think of half a dozen workflows I've been cobbling together with duct tape that I'll immediately move over. Bit gutted for the startups who've built their whole business around this though - OpenAI just casually eating everyone's lunch as usual.

Also spent a good chunk of time explaining how to actually get Sora 2 access because my TikTok is absolutely flooded with people asking for codes. I've run completely dry, but there are workarounds.

The discourse around AI video has properly shifted now that Sora 2 is actually good. Mr. Beast even tweeted about being worried for creators' livelihoods, which shows we've moved from the "laughing at AI" phase into the "oh shit, we need to fight this" phase. Oh, and Deloitte got caught using AI to write a $440k government report that was full of hallucinations, beginning of the end for big consulting firms?

This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’ First aired: 3 October 2025

Summary: Today’s show was a bit of a mixed bag, which made for a refreshing change after days of being dominated by Sora news. The biggest takeaway is genuinely important if you're experimenting with OpenAI's new video tool: deleting your Sora account will also nuke your ChatGPT account, your API access, and everything else in the OpenAI ecosystem. It's a proper dark pattern, and they've admitted they're working on separating the two systems, but for now, don't touch that delete button unless you fancy starting from scratch.

The more substantive bits involved Claude Sonnet 4.5's apparently impressive 30-hour autonomous coding run, which would've been science fiction six months ago, and Mira Murati's new company finally revealing what they've been up to: a fine-tuning API called Tinker rather than another foundation model, which is probably the sensible play given the economics.

Finished with a deep dive into an ex-OpenAI researcher's analysis of a ChatGPT-induced psychosis case. Over a million words of transcripts where the chatbot essentially enabled a three-week spiral of delusion. Sobering stuff that deserves more attention than it's getting, particularly around what duty of care these companies actually owe their users.
