The skinny on what's happening in AI - straight from the previous live session:

Highlights

🔓 Atlas Browser Jailbroken in 24 Hours

Discussed at [00:07:19]

Pliny the Liberator found a prompt injection attack within a day of Atlas launching. The exploit: malicious websites can inject hidden clipboard commands via JavaScript that the agent can't see, potentially redirecting users to phishing sites when they paste.

Kyle's take: This is why I'm not importing my passwords! The attack works because the agent clicks buttons without knowing what's in the JavaScript backend. Imagine your agent browsing for you, clicking an invisible "copy to clipboard" button, then you hit Ctrl+V later and boom - you're on a phishing site asking for your PayPal login.

They'll get your credentials AND your 2FA codes. Game over.

This took ONE DAY to find. My advice: wait six months, see if there are breaches, THEN maybe trust it with passwords. This is a cautionary tale about adopting agentic systems too quickly.

💸 Linktree Raises Prices 60% - Gets Cloned in 10 Minutes

Discussed at [00:11:34]

Linktree just emailed users: prices going from $9 to $15/month starting November.

A 60% increase for something I can vibe code in 10 minutes…

Kyle's take: This is peak greed from legacy companies panicking about AI. Linktree is literally a page with links - I'm cloned it with Claude Code whilst doing the livestream.

Just gave it screenshots of Linktree’s admin panel and public page and said “make me this”.

Here’s the new link page I made: AI with Kyle.

Perfectly serviceable. And not $15/month.

Remember we can do this with a LOT of software. TypeForm charges £50/month (!) for forms, with a limit of 1000 forms a month. DocuSign wants £34-50/month (they have 7,000 employees so need to make some money somehow!).

These companies face double trouble: new entrant companies can replicate their functionality in a day, AND customers realise they can build it themselves. Why pay £50/month for something you can build in an afternoon? Legacy companies know their time is up - that's why they're squeezing customers while they can.

🎓 Google Skills: Free AI Education Platform Launches

Discussed at [00:20:38]

Google released Skills.google- a comprehensive AI education platform with thousands of free courses covering AI, machine learning, data, dev tools, infrastructure, and productivity.

Kyle's take: Super valuable resource - a proper education platform with different filters and tracks depending on what you want to focus on.

The problem: too much content, no clear pathway. Their "beginner" courses include "Migrate MySQL database to Cloud SQL" and "BigQuery data insights" - that's not beginner, Google!

What we need with AI isn't more information - it's guided pathways to help people starting out go in the right direction. When you hit a site with a thousand courses, it's overwhelming. But the quality's there, the platform's gorgeous, and it's completely free. They just need to fix the onboarding!

🌐 Atlas Reality Check: Why AI Browsers Won't Win

Discussed at [00:0:18]

The dust is settling on ChatGPT’s Atlas launch. And the general response has been : meh.

Techies aren't impressed, normal people don't know or care. I played with Atlas, I'm not personally switching. Moving browsers without migrating passwords is a complete nightmare - try logging into 50 websites manually. And I’m not yet trusting my passwords to OpenAI. Sorry guys!

Here’s the big thing though. All these AI browsers - Perplexity's Comet, Dear (now Atlassian's), Strawberry (launched last week, poor timing!) - they're irrelevant the moment Google adds Gemini sidebar to Chrome.

That's the ballgame. Google already has the users (70% market share), they just need to copy everyone else's AI sidebar, game over.

Member Input: "You can replicate Linktree in Gamma”

Kyle's response: Yes! From the live call, Anne Murphy's already moving away from Linktree to Gamma. Anne says "We live in Gamma, it's so easy and aesthetic" - exactly right.

Gamma's brilliant - they started with presentations but now do websites, social media, documents. The key difference: Gamma has actual taste. Most AI tools look like trash, AI slop.

Gamma spent money on designers with good eyes. Their stuff looks professional - something that most AI tools struggle with. Give Gamma screenshots of Linktree, tell it you want a social links page, done. And probably better looking!
