    162: 143M jobs scored by how at RISK they are from AI

The results went viral, then he deleted the whole thing. Thankfully someone cloned the repo before it vanished. The takeaway is blunt: if your job lives on a screen, you're looking at a 7, 8, or 9 out of 10 on the AI risk scale. Software developers, lawyers, customer support, travel agents, all deep in the red. Nurses, plumbers, electricians? Barely a scratch. We walked through the whole chart live and I'll be honest, it's equal parts fascinating and uncomfortable. Beyond the jobs data, we covered a genuinely brilliant story out of Australia where a bloke with zero medical training used ChatGPT and DeepMind's AlphaFold to design a personalised cancer vaccine for his dog. It worked. The tumour halved. The red tape took longer than the actual science, which tells you everything about where we are right now. We also talked about Meta quietly falling out of the AI race after their new model flopped internal benchmarks, and I walked through a bunch of Claude Code skill repositories so you can start plugging domain expertise straight into your AI workflow. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Intro 0:30 Karpathy's AI Job Exposure Chart: 143 Million US Jobs Scored 5:01 Which Jobs Are Most at Risk from AI? 8:37 Are Lawyers Really Safe from AI? 9:39 Safest Jobs in the AI Age: Trades and Healthcare 10:52 Live Q&A: Finding Your Job on the Chart 13:44 Will AI Replace Teachers? 15:29 The Trades Oversupply Trap 16:41 Why You Need Multiple Income Sources Now 19:50 Man Uses ChatGPT to Create a Cancer Vaccine for His Dog 29:33 Meta Falls Behind: The AI Race Is Down to Three 34:18 Best Free AI Documentaries on YouTube 36:52 Claude Skills Explained: Expert Knowledge for Your AI 39:13 Where to Find 88,000+ Claude Code Skills 43:51 Claude 2x Off-Peak Usage Promotion Explained 46:57 Wrap Up & Newsletter —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

    161: How to build interactive charts and diagrams with AI

    Get AI-Ready with Kyle’s 5-Day Challenge: https://aiwithkyle.com/join Kyle’s AI Canon — Curated list of AI learning essentials: https://aiwithkyle.com/ai-canon Subscribe and turn on notifications to catch the next live stream: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChlLglbHDASnoGkbjDeHnQg Summary: Anthropic dropped the Visualizer for Claude today and I've spent all morning playing with it. The short version: you can now get Claude to create interactive charts, explainers and data visualisations directly in your conversation. The trick nobody's telling you is that you need to say "show me" to trigger it. I tested it on everything from compound interest explainers to debunking that nonsense going around TikTok about AI using more water than video streaming (spoiler: TikTok uses about 60 times more water per hour than ChatGPT, and that's being generous). You can even publish your visualisations as shareable artifacts, which is genuinely useful if you need to send something to a colleague or client without making them sign up for anything. The real story though is what this means practically. I used it this morning with my business partner to analyse our welcome email sequences, pulled in sales data across four different variants, and had Claude turn the whole thing into a visual report and then a slide deck. That process would have eaten an entire day six months ago. If you're running any kind of agency or reporting workflow, this is worth your attention. It's not going to destroy industries overnight, despite what some people are breathlessly claiming, but it's a proper useful addition to the toolkit. Available on all plans including free, which is a nice touch. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Claude's New Visualizer Feature: What It Is & Why It Matters 1:45 How to Trigger Claude's Visualizer: Use "Show Me" 3:16 Debunking the AI Water Usage Myth: ChatGPT vs TikTok 7:20 NotebookLM vs Claude Visualizer: Which Is Better for Learning? 8:07 Interactive LLM Chunking Walkthrough: Learn AI Concepts Visually 12:04 Publishing Claude Artifacts to the Web + RAG Pipeline Demo 15:32 Visualizer API Access, Embedding Artifacts & Claude Plan Pricing 18:18 Real Business Use Case: Analyzing Email A/B Sequences with Claude 22:38 AI for Agencies: Auto-Generate Client Reports & Slide Decks in Minutes 23:33 Why Most People Think AI Is Useless (The Free Tools Trap) 26:03 Claude vs ChatGPT: Honest Comparison, Memory & Usage Limits 30:16 Q&A: ChatGPT Memory Import, LLM Self-Hosting & Claude Code vs Cursor 33:08 Q&A: AI Regulation, AGI Definition & Best Open Source LLMs to Self-Host 36:51 Wrap-Up: Key Takeaways, Newsletter & Free Community Resources —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

    160: How to Get Started With Claude Code (NO Coding Experience)

I've been putting off this Claude Code explainer for weeks, partly because simplifying a genuinely complex topic is tricky, and partly because I was just a bit intimidated by it. But here we are. This is a proper beginner's guide to getting started with Claude Code if you're not a developer, have never touched a terminal, and have no idea what a GitHub repo is. We cover the three main ways to access Claude Code (web, desktop app, and IDE), why the desktop app is the one to go for, and how to connect it to GitHub without losing your mind. The bigger point here isn't really about the tool itself. It's about what becomes possible when you stop assuming software is someone else's job. Claude Code lets you build small, genuinely useful things: personal micro-tools, scrapers, dashboards, automations. We built a (very rough) Space Invaders clone live, just to prove the point. I also walked through Gary Tan's GST Stack setup, which turns Claude Code into something resembling a full engineering team. It's early days for most people on this, and that's fine. Starting small is exactly the right move. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Claude Code for Non-Coders: What It Is and Why You Need It 4:35 Why the Official Docs Look Scary (And How to Skip the Hard Stuff) 6:10 3 Ways to Access Claude Code: Web App, Desktop & VS Code 9:26 Setting Up the Claude Desktop App & Understanding GitHub 13:36 Live Demo: Claude Code Builds a Space Invaders Game From Scratch 16:35 Previewing Your Build: Local Deployment Without the Terminal 19:13 What Comes Next: Project Structure, Deployment & Adding a Backend 22:12 Clone Any Claude Code Setup: Installing Gary Tan's GStack Live 26:47 Q&A: Claude Code Pricing — $20, $100 or $200 Per Month? 28:20 Free Alternatives: ChatGPT Codex, Anti-Gravity & the CLI Option 31:41 Should You Still Learn to Code?

    159: Complete Guide to Moving from ChatGPT to Claude (And KEEP Your Memories)

The transition isn't as smooth as you'd hope though, and if you arrive expecting the same experience you had on ChatGPT, you're in for a few surprises — usage limits, no image generation, and a very different philosophy baked into the product. In this one I walk through everything you actually need to know before making the switch: the model tiers and what you can realistically use on a $20 plan, how Projects and Memory work, the connectors, Skills, and where Claude Code and Cowork fit into the picture. Claude is built for professionals who want straight answers rather than flattery, and once you understand how it thinks, it's a genuinely better tool for serious work. It just takes a little getting used to. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Moving from ChatGPT to Claude: What the TechRadar Article Got Right 2:05 The Painful Truth About Claude's Usage Limits and Pricing 3:00 Why Claude Is Less Sycophantic Than ChatGPT (And Why That Matters for Work) 6:47 What Claude Can't Do: No Images, Video or App Store 8:54 The Three Claude Models Explained: Opus, Sonnet and Haiku 13:45 How to Import Your ChatGPT Memory into Claude 17:01 Setting Up Claude: Custom Instructions, Model Selection and Extended Thinking 20:10 Artifacts Explained: Claude's Built-In App and Document Builder 21:15 Connectors and Skills: Linking Claude to Your Tools and Workflow 25:21 Chat, Code and Cowork: Understanding the Full Claude Ecosystem 27:09 Claude's Biggest Problem Right Now: No Unified AI Brain Across Tools 29:35 Q&A: ChatGPT's Manipulative Teasing Cadence Is Ad Preparation 32:00 How Claude Code Is Killing Paid Apps: The LinkTree Example 36:52 Anthropic's AI Job Displacement Chart: Separating Reality from Hype 43:13 Claude Code Adds Code Reviews: Is Code Rabbit Dead? 46:47 Vibe Coding for Everyone: The $30M Teen App and What It Means 49:51 The New York Times Blind Writing Test: Can Claude Beat Carl Sagan? 55:10 Wrap Up and What's Next: Claude Code Deep Dive Coming —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

In this session I walk through Claude Cowork, what it actually is, why it's meaningfully different from chatting with an AI, and how I'm using it to automate tasks that would otherwise eat my day. We're talking TikTok reply bots, ad audits, scheduled workflows — all running in the background while I get on with other things. This isn't about prompting AI anymore. It's about setting up systems once and letting them run. I cover the full Claude ecosystem, how skills work, what MCP connectors are, and the honest caveats too — cost, desktop-only limitations, token burn. If you've been curious about where AI is actually headed in 2026, this is a decent place to start. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Welcome to the Claude Ecosystem 0:53 $830 Billion Stock Wipeout & The 4 Big AI Shifts 3:43 The Big Shift: AI That Does the Work, Not Just Talks 6:00 Getting Started: Download, Cost & Setup Requirements 7:00 How Cowork Works: Files, Folders & the Employee Model 7:37 Live Demo: Automating TikTok DM Replies 9:50 From Prompts to Files: The New Way to Delegate to AI 14:20 Live Demo: Invoice Automation Built from Scratch 20:22 Claude Skills: Plug In Any Expertise Instantly 22:07 Live Demo: Automated Meta Ads + Stripe Daily Report 23:34 One Person.

The honest version: I do a one-hour live stream every day, record 15 short videos afterwards, push out a newsletter, and convert bits of it into blog articles. That sounds unhinged, and it probably is. But the point wasn't to make you copy me. It was to show you how a tiny team can operate like a full media company when you use AI to handle the repurposing rather than the creating. The key thing I wanted to get across is that AI slop is already everywhere and people can smell it. LinkedIn is basically a skip fire at this point. The way to beat that is to keep yourself in the loop. Record your actual voice, your actual opinions, your actual hot takes, and then let AI tidy, reformat, and multiply that into newsletters, short-form scripts, and blog articles. Fifteen minutes of rambling into your phone can become 20+ pieces of content. Distribution is the game now, not building. This workflow is how you play it. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 How I Use AI to Create 30+ Content Pieces Daily 1:28 The One Hour Content Engine Explained 2:31 Why Distribution Beats Product Building in 2026 3:39 The AI Slop Problem on LinkedIn and Social Media 5:02 Human in the Loop: The Secret to Authentic AI Content 6:29 My Complete Daily Content Workflow Overview 8:01 Stage 1: Setting Up Your AI Research Agent 10:20 Stage 2: Why Recording Your Raw Thoughts Is Everything 12:10 Stage 3: Turning Transcripts Into a Daily Newsletter 14:12 Stage 4: AI-Generated Short Form Video Scripts 16:09 Why TikTok and Instagram Algorithms Reward Yapping 16:49 How Content Stacking Creates a Flywheel Effect 17:40 Stage 5: Turning Short Videos Into SEO Blog Articles 19:25 Building a Content-to-Sales Funnel That Works 20:26 Best Newsletter Platforms: Beehive vs Substack vs Kit 21:32 Your Week 1 Action Plan to Start Today 23:47 Q&A: Why NotebookLM Is the Best Free AI Tool 25:22 How I Got Into AI Training as a Humanities Grad 26:24 Overcoming Public Speaking Fear: My Roadmap 27:00 AI Generated vs AI Assisted Content: Where's the Line? 28:47 The Hormozi Quote That Changed My Content Strategy 30:23 Closing and How to Get the Free PDF Guide —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

    156: AI Update: Anthropic Pentagon Fallout, Google Workspace CLI & NotebookLM Goes Cinematic

    Get AI-Ready with Kyle’s 5-Day Challenge: https://aiwithkyle.com/join Kyle’s AI Canon — Curated list of AI learning essentials: https://aiwithkyle.com/ai-canon Subscribe and turn on notifications to catch the next live stream: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChlLglbHDASnoGkbjDeHnQg This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle Live Stream’ First aired: 5 March 2026 Summary: Anthropic had quite the week. Kicked out of the Pentagon, labeled a "supply chain risk" (a designation usually reserved for Chinese state-linked companies), only for Dario Amodei to be back at the negotiating table days later. Sam Altman, meanwhile, swooped in suspiciously fast to fill the gap, which didn't go unnoticed. Over a million and a half people quietly migrated to Claude, pushing it to number one on the App Store for the first time in its life. The irony being, of course, that Anthropic are perfectly happy building lethal autonomous weapons. They just want Americans kept out of the blast radius. On the quieter but arguably more interesting side of things, Google dropped a native command line interface for the entire Workspace ecosystem, which is the kind of boring plumbing update that builders absolutely lose their minds over, and rightly so. AI agents can now talk directly to Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Sheets and more without the usual browser automation nonsense. NotebookLM also got a cinematic video upgrade, turning static slideshows into full motion AI-generated explainers. It's been a dense week. —— Time Stamps —— 00:00 Anthropic vs Pentagon: The Deal That Could End a $60B Company 11:34 Google Workspace CLI: The Biggest AI Release Nobody's Talking About 17:08 NotebookLM Gets Cinematic AI Video (Google's Quietly Massive Update) 22:24 Claude vs ChatGPT: The Honest Pricing Breakdown 27:44 How to Make $3,000/Hour Teaching AI to Businesses 30:33 Free Vibe Coding Tools: AntiGravity vs Google AI Studio 34:31 OpenAI Model Deprecations: What's Being Deleted & When 36:13 Q&A: How to Actually Get Started with Claude Skills 38:37 The MIT AI ROI Study Everyone Misread 41:29 UK's £40M AI Lab: Why It's Already Too Late 43:42 Final Thoughts & Webinar Details —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

    155: The Agentic Era Is Officially Here & GPT 5.3 “less cringe” Drops

That tells you everything about how badly 5.2 landed. Nobody liked it, it gaslit users into thinking they needed to calm down before asking about banana bread, and OpenAI know it. There's also a 5.4 reasoning model apparently dropping this week, though at this point it feels less like a product launch and more like a fire extinguisher. Cancellations are up 400% and people are migrating to Claude in droves. The bigger conversation though is the one that actually matters: we've crossed a genuine threshold in AI. December 2025 was the quiet inflection point where agents stopped being a buzzword and started actually working. For three years, AI was something you talked to. Now it's something that does the work for you, handling coding, bookkeeping, the lot. Andrej Karpathy put it well: before December, coding agents basically didn't work. Since December, they basically do. That's not a gradual curve, that's a hard line. If you haven't started playing with agentic tools yet, now's a very good time to start paying attention. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 GPT-5.3 "Less Cringe" Update: What OpenAI Actually Changed 3:23 GPT-5.4 Teaser: Is a Reasoning Model Dropping This Week? 7:12 The 4 Big AI Shifts That Changed Everything (Ethan Mollick) 10:13 From Chatting to Doing: The Real Agentic AI Revolution 19:27 Live Demo: Claude Cowork Handles My Entire Bookkeeping 21:20 White Collar Jobs at Risk Since December 2025 22:08 Q&A: Best Chinese & EU AI Alternatives (Qwen, Kimi, DeepSeek) 24:47 Will China Keep Open-Sourcing AI?
