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

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.

    115: Today in AI: Capability Overhang Problem and Opportunity, My ChatGPT Wrapped Revealed

    Starts on 12th January 2026: https://aiwithkyle.com/ai-workshop-kit Get AI-Ready with Kyle’s 5-Day Challenge: https://aiwithkyle.com/join Subscribe and turn on notifications to catch the next live stream: https://www.youtube.com/@iamkylebalmer?sub_confirmation=1 This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’ 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.

    114: Today in AI: China Reverse Engineers Chip Tech, Trump Lifts H100 Ban, NotebookLM Gets Editable

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.

    113: Today in AI: Gemini Flash 4x Cheaper, ChatGPT Atlas Launches, Lawyer Says AI Kills Legal Jobs

    Get AI-Ready with Kyle’s 5-Day Challenge: https://aiwithkyle.com/join Subscribe and turn on notifications to catch the next live stream: https://www.youtube.com/@iamkylebalmer?sub_confirmation=1 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.

    112: Today in AI: China Sweeps Open Source Rankings, DeepSeek & Qwen Beat Meta's Llama

    Get AI-Ready with Kyle’s 5-Day Challenge: https://aiwithkyle.com/join Subscribe and turn on notifications to catch the next live stream: https://www.youtube.com/@iamkylebalmer?sub_confirmation=1 This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’ 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.

    111: Your AI Product Will Fail (And It's Not Because of Competition)

    Get AI-Ready with Kyle’s 5-Day Challenge: https://aiwithkyle.com/join Subscribe and turn on notifications to catch the next live stream: https://www.youtube.com/@iamkylebalmer?sub_confirmation=1 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.

    110: Today in AI: GPT 5.2 Beats Gemini 3, Disney Invests $1B in OpenAI, 400x Cost Drop

    Get AI-Ready with Kyle’s 5-Day Challenge: https://aiwithkyle.com/join Subscribe and turn on notifications to catch the next live stream: https://www.youtube.com/@iamkylebalmer?sub_confirmation=1 This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’ First aired: 12 December 2025 Summary: OpenAI dropped GPT 5.2 this morning and it's properly good. 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.

    109: Today in AI: GPT 5.2 Launches Today, Pentagon Forms AGI Committee, AI Replaces Scientists

    Get AI-Ready with Kyle’s 5-Day Challenge: https://aiwithkyle.com/join Subscribe and turn on notifications to catch the next live stream: https://www.youtube.com/@iamkylebalmer?sub_confirmation=1 This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle News and Updates Live Stream’ First aired: 11 December 2025 Summary: GPT 5.2 is dropping today, apparently. 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.
