It's doing something more insidious — it's stopping new ones from being created. Entry-level roles are down 35% since 2023, and the grunt work that used to build careers (research, admin, junior analysis, legal discovery) is gone, absorbed quietly by AI with no fanfare and no replacement. That's the real story behind Eric Schmidt getting booed off a graduation stage, and it's worth sitting with. The old deal — degree, job, ladder, pension — is finished. Wozniak's message that you have "actual intelligence" is a lovely thought, but actual intelligence without opportunity just becomes frustration. So here's what I'd actually recommend: stop waiting for a government fix or a tech exec to have a change of heart, and start carving out something small that you own. A skill, a service, a product. AI makes that more achievable than it has ever been, and right now it might be the only career ladder left worth climbing. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Tech CEOs Booed at Graduation Speeches Over AI 0:45 Eric Schmidt Booed at University of Arizona Commencement 2:27 Steve Wozniak's "Actual Intelligence" Counter Speech 3:43 Why Schmidt Is Probably Right About AI & Young People 5:09 Gen Z Isn't Anti-AI - They Distrust the Tech Industry Deal 6:29 How AI Kills Entry-Level Jobs Without Replacing Workers 8:55 Why New AI Roles Won't Save Gen Z From Unemployment 10:28 The Career Ladder Is Dead - Start Your Own Income Now 13:25 Action Steps to Stay Useful in the AI Economy — Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

That's not the deal anymore. In this video, I walk you through how to build your first AI product from scratch, including why people will absolutely pay for something they could technically do themselves in ChatGPT, how to find the one process in your industry worth turning into software, and the exact technical stack I use: Vercel for hosting, Supabase for your database, and Codex to do most of the actual building.   The goal here isn't a billion-dollar startup. It's something smaller, more useful, and genuinely achievable this week. I cover the full customer journey, the logic layer (where all the real value lives), and how to think about stripping down an existing SaaS into something specific enough to actually sell. I'm also giving away the prompt I use to get Codex to scaffold the whole thing, available in the newsletter at [aiwithkyle.com](http://aiwithkyle.com/).   —— Time Stamps ——     0:00 Build Your First AI Product This Afternoon 1:11 Why People Pay for AI Tools They Could Build Themselves 4:20 How to Find a Process Worth Productizing 5:35 Real Example: Productizing My Content System 7:24 Steal Ideas From SaaS Companies (Rocket Money & Vexly) 10:52 Start Small: Don't Try to Out-Build DocuSign 12:05 One Painful Input, One Useful Output (Product Examples) 14:02 Customer Journey vs Builder Journey 15:53 Under the Hood: Vercel, Supabase & The Logic Layer 20:36 The Codex Prompt That Builds Your Product For You 22:31 Be the High-Agency Person Who Actually Ships     — Useful Resources ——   Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

189: Codex Mobile: You Can Now Vibe Code From Anywhere (Seriously)

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/channel/UChlLglbHDASnoGkbjDeHnQg Summary: Codex just shipped a mobile app, and it's the last piece I needed to properly untether myself from my desk. In this one, I walk you through how to set up an always-on vibe coding workflow across your desktop, laptop, and phone. Meaning, you can start a session at home, walk out to a cafe, and pick it up on your phone without losing a single thread of context. The key is combining the new Codex mobile release with the "Control Another Device" feature. I also get into why I've quietly shifted from Claude Code to Codex as my main tool. The model quality gap has closed, and the usage limits on Claude just aren't worth the stress anymore. If you're still running one session per machine and wondering why it feels fragmented, this is the setup that fixes it. Full technical checklist and written guide are in the Monday newsletter at [aiwithkyle.com](http://aiwithkyle.com/). —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Codex Now Has A Mobile App: Vibe Coding Just Changed 0:43 How Codex In ChatGPT Mobile Actually Works 1:18 The Multi-Device Problem Killing Your Coding Flow 2:36 My Old Setup Mess & Why OpenClaw Was So Exciting 3:59 Mobile Controls Desktop: How Native Codex Untethers You 5:30 Hardware Setup: Mac Mini As Your Always-On Vibe Coding Machine 6:42 "Control Another Device" Setting + GitHub Central Repository 8:17 Adding Your Phone & The Real Studio-To-Pool Workflow 9:53 Why I'm Switching From Claude Code To Codex — Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

188: The 4 AI Skills Anthropic Wants You to Have (Explained in 20 minutes)

Tired of shipping polished AI rubbish? (Free Guide): https://aiwithkyle.com/mini/ai-fluency 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/channel/UChlLglbHDASnoGkbjDeHnQg Summary: Anthropic has a free AI Fluency course and, it’s good. I watched the whole thing and pulled out the frameworks that are actually worth your time, so you don't have to sit through the full thing yourself. The big idea is this: prompting is one small part of a much larger skill set. Anthropic breaks it down into four competencies. Interestingly the one people skill entirely is ‘discernment’, that's your human judgment telling you whether the AI actually did a decent job, or whether it's handed you a beautifully formatted hallucination. I walk through all four Ds, the three modes of AI use, and the description-to-discernment loop that, once you have it in your head, changes how you work with AI entirely. The course is free, but hopefully with this video I've saved you about an hour. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Welcome & Series Introduction 1:12 The Big Takeaway: AI Skill Is More Than Just Prompting 2:03 The Three Ways to Use AI: Automation, Augmentation & Agency 3:36 The Four Ds Framework Explained 4:29 D1: Delegation – What to Hand Off to AI vs Keep Yourself 6:53 D2: Description – The RISEN Prompting Framework 10:04 D3: Discernment – How to Spot AI Hallucinations 13:47 The Description-to-Discernment Loop 16:28 D4: Diligence – AI Ethics, Safety & Verification 18:15 Final Takeaways & Why I Recommend This Course — Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

187: How I Produce 20+ Pieces of Content Daily Using AI (Full System Revealed)

How Kyle turns ONE live session into 20 pieces of content (Free Guide): https://aiwithkyle.com/mini/content-machine 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/channel/UChlLglbHDASnoGkbjDeHnQg Summary: Every day I produce a YouTube video, a newsletter, five to eight short-form videos, carousels, PDFs, and LinkedIn posts, and there are two of us. In this video I walk through the complete AI-powered content system that makes that possible, from morning topic selection via an AI agent, through voice-note prep and slide generation, to the content processing workflow that turns a single live stream transcript into 20-plus assets automatically. This isn't a pitch for going all-in day one. I also cover the minimum viable version for anyone who's not ready to livestream to five platforms simultaneously, including how to use AI to interview you instead, capture your voice and opinions, and still spin out a newsletter and short-form scripts without getting anywhere near a camera. The key principle throughout: the AI handles the boring infrastructure, you stay in for the parts that actually require a human. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Intro: How I Use AI to Become a Content Machine 0:50 Why an Audience Is Non-Negotiable for Business 2:06 Why Education Content Beats Entertainment 4:12 What I Publish Every Single Day 6:08 The AI Slop Problem: Don't Automate Everything 7:40 The Full Workflow Overview 12:19 Step 1: AI-Powered Topic Selection 13:42 Step 2: Voice Notes to Slide Decks 15:18 Live Streaming (and the AI Interview Alternative) 17:44 Step 3: Transcripts to Newsletters & Articles 19:14 Carousels, PDFs & 100+ Emails a Day 20:56 Short Form Scripts & Where to Use AI 23:27 The Self-Improving Feedback Loop 24:46 Tools Don't Matter, Workflows Do (My Stack) 26:56 How to Start Small Without Burning Out 28:40 Why Your Humanity Becomes More Valuable & Outro — Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/
