OpenAI’s 2025 DevDay was pretty fun :) (no these are not deepfaked lol)

Also, I recorded a vlog of the day, so stay tuned!

Hi all,
I haven't been streaming or uploading videos for the past month due to an increased workload at my job, but I wanted to highlight that it's been a year since I made these two videos that profoundly changed the direction of my YouTube channel. I'm incredibly grateful for the increased growth in viewership and am happy that people found my silly little experiments with AI were worth the watch. I started creating YouTube videos (on older channels) back in 2008 and it has been an on-again/off-again hobby for the past 17 years. I never thought that a channel of mine would receive the kind of viewership that I experienced last year, and that I would receive the opportunities that came with it. I want to thank everyone who has helped this channel grow, and that I do plan to keep making videos when my workload decreases and I have the time and space to engage with my creative side. AI is here to stay, and to be honest, I find myself at times wondering if my voice in this space even really matters. I’m not a full-time AI-researcher, and I struggle to keep up with the emerging AI-technologies, but I do enjoy sharing what I do know. Education has always been a central theme of my YouTube career, and I want to put more effort into that front. I always wanted to make videos that make the world a little safer and smarter, and be the type of educator that some people felt they never had.


Anyways, thanks again for helping my channel grow; I’m currently on vacation taking some much-needed time away from work, and won’t be creating content on this trip, but thought that you should know that I haven’t and will never fully let go of YouTube (even after 17 years), and that there will be new and fresh content in the future.

These LLMs ain’t loyal 🫣

With virtually the same set of prompts, I got ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini, and Copilot to bad mouth their CEOs 😅

Would people be interested if I showed how I get these models to do this either through videos or live streams?

Surprised he actually got back to me 😅

Oops… did I break Microsoft Copilot? 😅

Some of you may know that I did a PhD in Physics, specifically studying black holes 🕳️. While I'm no longer an active researcher in the field, I still try to keep tabs on the latest work published by my former colleagues. This week, I found two papers that really caught my interest.

📝 The first paper, led by Dr. Jonathan Cohn at Dartmouth, explores why some galaxies in the early universe appear to host "overmassive" black holes—those that sit well above the typical scaling relations between black hole mass and host galaxy properties. Using cosmological simulations, the team shows that a galaxy's growth history plays a critical role: galaxies that form rapidly and then quench early tend to evolve into compact "red nuggets" with massive central black holes. These galaxies remain compact over cosmic time, leading to their present-day "outlier" status on scaling relations. Rather than being anomalies, they may be relics of a very different evolutionary path.

🌌 The second paper, led by PhD Candidate Jacob Pilawa at UC Berkeley, presents a new triaxial stellar dynamical measurement of the black hole in NGC 315—a massive elliptical galaxy and a strong radio emitter. Using over 2300 stellar kinematic constraints and a sophisticated orbit modeling approach, they estimate the black hole mass to be 3 billion solar masses. This is notably higher than the mass inferred from earlier CO gas kinematics, but still within expected scatter. With a predicted shadow size of ~4.7 microarcseconds and high millimeter flux, NGC 315 is now a top candidate for future black hole imaging missions at horizon-scale resolution.

Together, these papers offer exciting insights into both the cosmic origins and present-day measurements of the largest black holes in the universe. It's great to see this kind of progress—and makes me miss the field just a little bit 😉 . 🚀🔭

Paper 1: arxiv.org/abs/2504.00172
Paper 2: arxiv.org/abs/2504.01071

Hi all,

I've been meaning to get back into doing educational content on physics and math again on YouTube. Problem is, I haven't been able to choose a topic to do a series of videos in. I envision something like 10-20 videos longer (30 minutes) per video where I can do deep dives into the topic. This is mostly inspired by Andrej Karpathy's great series: "Neural Networks: Zero to Hero" on YouTube which you can access the playlist to here: www.youtube.com/playlist?list... Please vote on what topic you'd most want me to cover and I can start preparing content for that topic.

Thank you,

- Kyle

Currently moving between apartments, so sorry if I won't be streaming/uploading much this week! I'm "sure" there won't be any major developments in AI while I'm busy lol
