Then came the interviews, the donor connections people started digging into, and accusations that the whole thing was a "psyop". I go through Coxon's original warning and the responses from Beff Jezos, Parker Thayer, Elon Musk and Bernie Sanders. We also look at recursive self-improvement, what Anthropic's own researchers have said, and who would get to define and enforce a superintelligence ban.

    AI Skills Explained: Stop Repeating Yourself to ChatGPT

    Want to build a business with AI but have no idea where to start? Build your personalized AI income plan and execute this week: https://aiwithkyle.com/join-freedom-os Join my private WhatsApp group: https://aiwithkyle.com/ai-with-kyle-group-chat Media/Sponsorship Inquiries: https://aiwithkyle.com/media-kit AI Skills let you save the instructions for work you do regularly, then reuse them in ChatGPT, Codex or Claude. A quarterly report, a client update or a writing check can follow the same process each time, with the right examples and supporting files already attached. I walk through a real SKILL.md file, show what belongs in the instructions, and explain when to add references, visual assets or scripts. You'll see how a skill fits alongside prompts, Projects and other saved context, how to find existing skills, and how to choose a useful first task. You can build that first skill by talking through the job with your AI. Give it a specific task, explain what a good result looks like, and test the finished instructions on real examples. Start with one repeatable job and improve the skill as you use it. *RESOURCES* Get the free AI Skills 101 guide: https://aiwithkyle.com/mini/ai-skills?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=organic_video&utm_campaign=mini_ai_skills&utm_content=ai_skills_101_recut *CHAPTERS* 0:00 What is an AI skill? 1:32 Using a skill 2:31 Inside SKILL.md 4:10 References, assets and scripts 4:41 A library of skills 7:00 Finding existing skills 8:16 Choosing a useful task 9:44 Building your own skill 12:11 Test and improve it *KEY POINTS* - Put the repeatable process in SKILL.md. - Add references and assets when the task needs them. - Choose one useful job for your first skill. - Ask your AI to interview you about how you do that job. - Test the result and revise the instructions. *SOURCES AND TOOLS MENTIONED* OpenAI - Build Skills: https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/build-skills OpenAI Academy - Using Skills: https://openai.com/academy/skills/ Agent Skills specification: https://agentskills.io/specification Anthropic - Agent Skills: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/equipping-agents-for-the-real-world-with-agent-skills *LISTEN TO AI WITH KYLE* Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6pnwfIJvxfC8jlX891XBiE Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ai-with-kyle-daily-ai-news-and-updates/id1825779580 *CONNECT WITH KYLE* Website: https://aiwithkyle.com TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamkylebalmer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamkylebalmer LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylebalmer/ #AISkills #ChatGPT #Claude

The examples cover a personalised fitness app, a plan to grow owner profit without adding hours, a household finance model and three possible futures for your life.

    Did OpenAI Just Achieve AGI? ChatGPT GPT-6 Astra Explained

Its 99.9% ARC-AGI-3 score has people claiming AGI is here. The test measures whether an agent can explore an unfamiliar world, learn its rules and act efficiently. Astra's biggest practical jump is computer use. ARC Prize's standard harness gave Astra 62.7%. OpenAI's Provider Adapter produced the 99.9% result by preserving reasoning state and compacting long conversations. The video also covers a week-long Manhattan build in Unreal Engine, Apple Park in Blender and an interactive Library of Alexandria. I also cover the messy rollout, who gets access first and the banked Codex resets OpenAI is giving paid ChatGPT users while they wait. If Astra is in your account, give it a large computer-use or coding job. An email rewrite will tell you almost nothing about this model.
