Portada del episodio Head of ChatGPT & Codex: AI Agents for Everyone Are HERE | Thibault Sottiaux OpenAI

Descripción

Thibault Sottiaux is the head of ChatGPT and Codex at OpenAI. He told me that in a few months, people who don't use AI at all will get the same benefits as those who've spent two years figuring it out. So what's actually going to be your edge in a market this competitive? Thibault opened up and shared a few of his secrets — he showed me how his own agents work and how anyone can set them up. We covered the must-have files everyone should create, the one file you should never write yourself, and the new skill that replaces prompting entirely. If you work with a computer for a living, this is the one to watch this week.

The 5 Levels of AI-Native: How to Get From Level 1 to Level 5 in 30 days | Peter Yang

Peter Yang spent 10+ years building products at Roblox, Reddit, Amazon (Twitch), and Meta. Then he walked away from a high-paying job at Roblox to go all-in as a solo builder. His newsletter Behind the Craft has 140K+ readers, and his podcast has deep conversations with 30+ AI leaders from Anthropic, Google, Cursor, and Replit. In this episode he breaks down how: how to move from using AI like a search engine to building systems that run your work, how to build a personal AI that knows your strategy, and the one thing to do this week to get ahead. We cover: * The 5 layers of AI adoption, from "I ask ChatGPT questions" to "AI runs my whole operation," and how to find which layer you're actually on * Why you should stop using ChatGPT and Claude chat and switch to Codex or Claude Code, even if you've never written a line of code * The one-day reset: cancel every meeting, brain-dump your real workflows out loud, and let AI turn them into skills that save hours every week * TRICK: the personal advisor skill — a one-page Google Doc with your goal, your principles, and what gives vs. drains your energy, so your AI checks your decisions before you make them * How he uses learnings.md so his AI remembers the right things about him and gets smarter every conversation * The "last 10%" rule that keeps AI content from becoming slop, and why human taste is the whole job now * How he builds a working personal app (a fitness tracker, a scam-email blocker for his parents) in a couple of hours * His honest fears: getting dumber on a flight with no wifi, and what he's doing differently to raise kids who still learn the fundamentals * The exact action plan for your next 7 days to go from consumer to builder Links: Subscribe to my free newsletter where I go deeper on AI tools, career strategies, and building with AI: ⁠https://siliconvalleygirl.beehiiv.com/subscribe?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=futureproof-sub&utm_content=PeterYang⁠ [⁠⁠https://siliconvalleygirl.beehiiv.com/subscribe?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=futureproof-sub&utm_content=PeterYang⁠⁠ ] 🔗 Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/siliconvalleygirl/⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/siliconvalleygirl/%E2%81%A0] 𝕏 : ⁠https://x.com/siliconvalleymm⁠ [https://x.com/siliconvalleymm%E2%81%A0] 💼 LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/marinamogilko⁠ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/marinamogilko%E2%81%A0] 📌 My Companies & Products: ⁠https://Marinamogilko.co [https://Marinamogilko.co]

episode Godmother of Silicon Valley: How to Raise a CEO | Esther Wojcicki artwork

Godmother of Silicon Valley: How to Raise a CEO | Esther Wojcicki

Esther Wojcicki is the "Godmother of Silicon Valley." She raised three daughters: Susan, who ran YouTube; Anne, who founded 23andMe; and Janet, a professor and anthropologist. Her parenting advice got me through the hardest parts of new motherhood, and YouTube, which Susan built, is the reason I have a career at all. In this episode we cover: * The one rule that decides whether AI makes a kid smarter or just lets them cheat themselves: do the work first, then ask AI to grade it like a teacher * Why she's against banning phones, social media, or AI for kids, and what she'd teach instead * TRICK: the five-part system (Trust, Respect, Independence, Collaboration, Kindness) she used to raise three founders, and how to run it on yourself as an adult * How to rebuild trust in yourself if you were raised to chase everyone else's approval * The three sentences she told Anne when 23andMe was falling apart * The billion-dollar bet Susan almost didn't make, the one that became YouTube * Why she still tells parents to push for college in the AI age * What she says to every mom who's afraid AI will take her kid's job Links: Subscribe to my free newsletter where I go deeper on AI tools, career strategies, and parenting in the AI age: https://siliconvalleygirl.beehiiv.com/subscribe?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=futureproof-sub&utm_content=EstherWojcicki [https://siliconvalleygirl.beehiiv.com/subscribe?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=futureproof-sub&utm_content=EstherWojcicki] 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siliconvalleygirl/ [https://www.instagram.com/siliconvalleygirl/] 𝕏 : https://x.com/siliconvalleymm [https://x.com/siliconvalleymm] 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marinamogilko [https://www.linkedin.com/in/marinamogilko] 📌 My Companies & Products: https://Marinamogilko.co [https://Marinamogilko.co]

Grant Lee is the co-founder and CEO of Gamma — the $2.1B AI tool that turns one prompt into a finished presentation, now used by 100 million people.

episode The 5-Layer System to Make Your Business Run on AI artwork

The 5-Layer System to Make Your Business Run on AI

In 5 years the most valuable companies will run as a closed AI loop — every call, email, and content metric feeding back into one system that acts faster than any human team. In this video I walk through the 5 levels we're building inside my own company, from the foundation layer to the part most founders skip. If you're a founder, creator, or operator trying to make this real in your own business, this is the playbook.
