    Hi, I hope you’re well, and I’m really happy to have you as a subscriber. And as a special thank you, you’re getting an early chance to be part of my first free Masterclass, which is happening on Monday 14th July 2025, at 12:30BST. I’ll post the details more widely in a couple of days, but I’m giving you the application form now. Because you’re amazing.

    There’s been a lot of AI research in my life in the last month, so just before I myself am replaced (have you seenthe Veo3 demo?!), here’s a whistle-stop tour of the things that have caught my (A) eye. An ex-BBC colleague, Jonathan Fildes, recently rocked my world. He’s now the Creative Leader at Deepmind, and after seeing his post about vibe-coding, I called him up for a chat. He explained how he had asked Gemini, in plain English, to build him a website, and it had duly obliged.

    It’s the first thing everyone asks me these days. I wish I could give you a definitive answer - part of me wishes I could give myself a definitive answer.

    “Can you get them to hold the plane? I’m nearly there!”, I call into my phone. Okay, I am stressed now. All throughout my nightmare drive to Heathrow, at every traffic jam, I’d remained calm. It’s fine, I‘ve built in enough time for a couple of delays, I kept telling myself. Thanks for reading Spencer Kelly on the Edge! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

    Hey everyone, just to let you know that the next episode of Spencer Kelly on the Edge will be in your inboxes tomorrow morning. It’s a story of passion and betrayal, but it is also a bit of a whopper, and Substack has told me that it’s too big to work properly as an email (I think it’s mainly the photos, tbh). However, I know many of you prefer to read it as an email, so, tomorrow, you will receive three emails.

AI writes a game for me - a longer demo of vibe-coding, where I tell an AI to create a cat and mouse game, after which I have a back and forth conversation with it to make refinements - I'm "vibing" with it. Let me know if you find it useful. https://t.co/R1DxJg43OP
