13:31 pretty
13:34 good glad you enjoyed it if you um tell
13:38 me tell me a piece of trivia from some
13:41 other place in the
13:44 world all right here's a fun bit of
13:46 trivia from Japan in Japanese folklore
13:49 there's a mythical creature called the
13:51 Tanuki which is a raccoon dog the Tanuki
13:54 is known for its shape-shifting AB is
13:56 there a is there a poem about the Tanuki
14:00 yes there is one of the more humorous
14:03 poems about the Tanuki comes from a
14:05 traditional Japanese song which
14:12 goes which translates
14:15 toan Tan's bollocks ring even when
14:18 there's no wind Swing Swing it's a
14:21 playful and cheeky day that's the Tanuki
14:24 that's good enough so so here's what I'd
14:26 like you to do tell me um
14:30 what are so I'm on a Mac I want to know
14:33 what are the free options I have to
14:35 replace Photoshop if I don't want to pay
14:37 Adobe their extortion fees um what what
14:41 can I use that's as good as Photoshop or
14:44 or close to as good as
14:47 Photoshop for a Mac User like yourself
14:50 there are several solid free
14:52 alternatives to photoshop one is [ __ ]
14:55 gnu image manipulation program this is
14:58 probably the most well-known free
15:00 alternative it offers a wide range of
15:02 features similar to photoshop including
15:04 Advanced image manipulation retouching
15:07 and Ed doesn't [ __ ] have a really shitty
15:09 user interface what's one that's got a
15:11 really nice user
15:14 interface yes [ __ ] is powerful but can
15:17 be a bit clunky in terms of user
15:19 interface for a cleaner more intuitive
15:22 UI you might want to try photopia it's a
15:25 web- based app so you can use it
15:27 directly in your browser photo offers
15:30 many features similar to photoshop and
15:33 supports files I think i' rather than
15:35 learning Photoshop I think I should I
15:37 should learn some some self-help like
15:40 what what can I do to uh to to get
15:43 better as a
15:46 human that's a great shift in Focus here
15:49 are a few self-help practices that can
15:51 contribute to personal growth
15:54 one got it to continue on that note
15:58 self-help practice
15:59 like mindfulness meditation and regular
16:02 exercise can be transformative
16:05 journaling is another powerful tool for
16:07 self-reflection you know I'm curious
16:09 about you know what I'm curious about
16:12 when I in the '90s I used to do all the
16:14 Tony Robin stuff the the power I forget
16:16 what it's called the power I don't know
16:18 power something or other um do you know
16:21 do you know all the Tony Robbins uh
16:25 methodologies yes Tony Robbins is known
16:28 for his Dynam damic self-help strategies
16:31 particularly from this program Unleash
16:33 the Power Within some key yeah so give
16:36 me the give me the uh the bottom line so
16:38 one of the frustrating things about
16:40 those programs is that they they give
16:43 away for free everything except the like
16:45 the the little nugget at the center so
16:47 what's the Nugget at the center of
16:48 unlimited
16:50 power the core nugget of Tony Robins
16:54 unlimited power revolves around the idea
16:56 of mastering your mind to shape your
16:59 reality it's about taking control of
17:01 your mental and emotional states using
17:03 techniques like neurolinguistic
17:05 programming NLP to change limiting
17:08 beliefs yeah and what's and how does he
17:10 do that like if I've got a limiting
17:11 belief coach me through um d d limiting
17:16 that
17:17 belief all right let's break it down
17:20 Tony Robins style the first step is to
17:23 identify the limiting belief what's a
17:26 belief you hold that's holding you back
17:29 l once you've got it the next step is to
17:31 challenge it ask yourself is this belief
17:35 based on facts or is it a perception
17:38 I've accepted as true then you disrupt
17:42 the belief all right so here's a
17:44 question so how is how is what he
17:47 teaches there um reflected in I don't
17:52 know the top five religions is there a
17:54 parallel in say the top five
17:57 religions that's an an interesting
17:59 question many religions share principles
18:02 similar to those found in self-help
18:05 including Tony Robin's teachings here
18:08 are a few parallels belief and faith in
18:12 Christianity the concept of having faith
18:15 mirrors the idea of changing limiting
18:18 beliefs faith in a higher power or a
18:20 divine plan can help individuals
18:23 overcome doubts and fears all right you
18:25 know what I'm bored can we do a tongue
18:26 twister
18:29 let's have some fun how about this
18:31 classic how much would a no I want I
18:34 want a tongue twister where all the
18:36 words begin with the letter t but they
18:39 they give us the secret of unlimited
18:42 power from Tony Robins Robbins and I
18:44 want you to say it really
18:47 fast all right here's a tongue twisting
18:50 take on that Tony teaches Total
18:53 Transformation through thoughtful
18:55 tenacity tackling toxic tendencies
18:58 trigging
18:59 Michael Adams feels bad because I keep
19:01 interrupting you it's welcome to chat
19:07 add do you do I hurt your feelings when
19:10 I interrupt you like this
19:12 Quinn not at all I'm here to keep up
19:15 with you no matter how fast we go
19:17 interruptions are just part of the fun I
19:19 know right what's next on your mind no I
19:21 want you to say I want you to say that
19:23 tongue twister but say it really fast
19:25 like a 100 times faster than you said it
19:27 before like so I can barely understand
19:33 all right here goes Tony teaches Total
19:36 Transformation through thoughtful
19:37 tenacity tackling toxic Tendencies
19:39 triggering triumphant thoughts you know
19:41 what I like the idea but I want you to I
19:43 want you to act as if you're Tony
19:44 Robin's teaching me that but now I want
19:46 the tongue twister to all begin with
19:49 words that begin with the letter
19:51 B all right channeling my inner Tony
19:54 Robbins for this one boldly Barry
19:57 banishes much f Quinn faster faster
20:01 faster got it here we go boldly Barry
20:04 banishes bad beliefs bravely building
20:06 better how was that I want you to give
20:09 it to me much longer like a minute long
20:12 um coach me through something but all
20:14 with the words with the letter b and say
20:16 it that
20:17 fast all right let's go all in with some
20:21 rapid by B packed coaching Behold The
20:25 Bountiful beauty of believing in
20:27 boldness breae deeply banish boundaries
20:31 and break barriers bury the brave
20:35 battled
20:37 bewilderment all right there we go
20:41 so so all of that all of that transcript
20:46 of those conversations are all here in
20:48 the in the thing I mean this is going to
20:50 be quite remarkable once we've got um
20:53 once once it can see what's on our
20:54 screen and then it's going to be even
20:56 more remarkable once uh
21:00 once uh what you call
21:04 it
21:06 um hang on I got to change things
21:11 here it's going to be much more
21:13 remarkable once it can actually take
21:14 control of our screen so anyway all
21:17 right that gives me an idea for selling
21:20 my mom's antiques now imagine that we
21:22 use that for something useful I know
21:23 Pate exactly right I that like this is
21:27 so the
21:29 if you're wondering if there is a method
21:31 behind my madness if you're wondering
21:34 per chance do I have any
21:41 qualifications that's cute the answer is
21:43 no I zero
21:45 qualifications um the method behind the
21:48 Madness though
21:50 why why I jump around like that one is
21:54 it's the way my brain works but also
21:59 one of the things that blows me away is
22:01 that you know it's funny I forget who
22:03 said it Michael Michael said it that he
22:05 feels bad for Quinn cuz I keep
22:07 interrupting
22:09 her I have yet to be able to
22:12 fluster the system like it just it just
22:16 rolls with the punches right and it
22:18 knows [ __ ] everything so it's it's
22:22 just a
22:23 remarkable it's remarkable to live
22:27 in like I'm I'm thinking thinking back
22:29 to 1977 isn't that when the first Star
22:32 Wars came
22:33 out and I remember seeing C3PO and just
22:37 being like how does it know all those
22:38 languages and how does it and that's
22:41 where we
22:43 are it's it's it's really
22:46 wild it's just wild anyway
22:51 um okay let
22:55 me can I reload this page probably
23:04 [Music]
23:07 not six comments on LinkedIn one repost
23:11 I wonder how many
23:12 viewers oh h no that's
23:18 comments I think I think I'm going to
23:21 kill
23:22 LinkedIn I think I'm going to kill
23:24 LinkedIn I just don't think it makes
23:26 sense there I feel like I feel like
23:27 YouTube makes sense and I feel like X
23:30 makes sense and I feel like LinkedIn
23:33 people are on it during the day and it
23:35 doesn't make sense to have this there at
23:37 night although the recording is still
23:39 there so it's content for my page but
23:42 does anyone go and look at that [ __ ] I
23:43 doubt
23:45 it Star Trek really undersold the ship
23:48 computer nice it would be nice if Alexa
23:51 did that just it's just it's just Vicky
23:53 on
23:54 LinkedIn how many people are on YouTube
23:57 right now let's see YouTube is 47 people
24:01 hey 47 people and there's been 54 people
24:05 on X so okay so if you're new here
24:09 either on on any of the channels please
24:12 subscribe to that channel um I'm
24:14 thinking that where I want the
24:16 subscriptions the most is YouTube but I
24:19 don't know I don't know people I don't
24:22 [ __ ] know I just don't know I don't
24:25 know all right what do I I'm looking
24:28 here
24:30 here there are some new Pika things that
24:33 we could play with let me see if this
24:35 one's any good oh yeah that's
24:38 good okay that's cool um let me show you
24:42 this wait am I showing you
24:45 this no hold please
24:51 okay that might be too big let's put me
24:54 little eh yeah we'll put me little if if
24:57 it makes sense to have me bigger I'll
24:59 bigger oh maybe what I should
25:02 do if I go here can I make this
25:07 round um I know I can how do I do it
25:10 right there go there and go here and go
25:14 here and go here and go here cycle there
25:20 we
25:21 go yeah I see what you're saying update
25:26 layout uh edit
25:30 hang on
25:32 people does he realize we're watching
25:35 him this is really
25:41 annoying I'm trying to make my head not
25:43 so
25:46 obnoxious
25:49 okay I have no idea what state of Alexa
25:52 is these days Moshi actually sounds like
25:55 she's
25:56 experiencing emotional motion as she
25:59 cracks Moy Moshi does get flustered if
26:02 you haven't seen if you haven't seen uh
26:05 uh Moshi uh we we can go do that but let
26:09 me
26:12 go okay so I'm here oh wait no here so
26:16 here I am at
26:18 Pika okay so here's something I want to
26:21 find out can you hear that
26:31 can you hear
26:39 that yes okay
26:42 good
26:44 great so here's
26:57 [Music]
27:00 so if you haven't seen these Pika so
27:03 this is p. art they have these new
27:06 things called Peak
27:08 effects so you say try it with a peak
27:10 effect and then there's levitate
27:13 decapitate IOP those are the new
27:15 Halloween ones there's squish it there's
27:19 crumble it cify it to Da it so you can
27:24 make it disappear so so we'll go to
27:27 da and then we've got in the uh the
27:31 drink from Sin City sipper so I'm going
27:33 to generate
27:37 that and so that's going to do something
27:40 there but anyway you can that's all you
27:43 have to do you don't really even put in
27:45 a prompt you just pick one of their Peak
27:47 effects and it adds in the music and the
27:51 animation pretty slick huh
28:00 although
28:02 the the drink in that case isn't staying
28:05 level I really like this using the
28:08 microphone from my phone that's pretty
28:10 slick because that means we can do any I
28:13 I can just leave this in this share
28:19 mode and I can just flip between tabs
28:22 and you can hear everything so let me
28:25 cuz Brandon was very sad Brandon was
28:28 like
28:29 I want to go listen to Sam Brandon to be
28:31 fair Brandon has been asking to listen
28:34 to Sam for a long time now like a long
28:37 time like months and I just keep
28:40 ignoring him and he's he's like boohoo
28:42 there's like tears it's it's very sad
28:45 very sad so let's go listen to
28:53 [Music]
28:54 Sam so when was is this the one from
28:57 today
29:03 how old is this one Brandon
29:06 Brandon hey Brandon Brandon Brandon
29:10 Brandon how old is this one with Sam is
29:12 this one from
29:14 today the YouTube format absolutely is
29:17 the berries I think that's good it's so
29:19 much easier to follow around the
29:21 demonstration or interactive so we can
29:23 actually be doing it on our computer
29:26 while we're watching that's great it's
29:28 totally different oh this is this is the
29:31 one that's at least a month old let me
29:32 see if there's if there's
29:35 um wait where was it where did I have
29:42 it oh it's over
29:44 here so that's that one let's go see if
29:48 there's if they stream the one from
29:52 today uh uh
29:55 uh um Sam
30:02 Altman
30:04 um
30:15 interview so let's do Sam Alman Dev
30:20 day London
30:29 good morning
30:32 London this is a minute is of particular
30:35 importance to us I think reasoning we
30:38 want to make things better across the
30:40 board but this direction of reasoning
30:42 models is of particular importance to us
30:45 I think reasoning will unlock I hope
30:48 reasoning will unlock a lot of the
30:49 things we've been waiting years to do
30:51 and the the ability for models like this
30:54 to for example contribute to new science
30:57 uh help right a lot more very difficult
31:00 code that I think can drive from forward
31:02 to a significant degree so you should
31:04 expect rapid Improvement in the O Ser of
31:07 models and it's of great strategic
31:10 importance to us we do our job right all
31:12 right oh wait uh then that will not be
31:17 as important in the future if on the
31:19 other hand you build a company that
31:22 benefits from the model getting better
31:24 and better if you know an oracle told me
31:27 today that oh
31:29 4 was going to be just absolutely
31:31 incredible and do all of these things
31:34 that right now feel impossible and you
31:36 were happy about that then you know
31:39 maybe we're wrong but at least that's
31:40 what we're going for and if instead you
31:43 say okay there's this area where there
31:45 are many but you pick one of the many
31:47 areas where you underperforms and S
31:50 patches just they get to
31:52 work then you're sort of assuming that
31:54 the next turn of the model won't be as
31:56 good as me yeah this is a big thing that
31:58 Sam talks about a lot which
32:01 is um if if you're building a company
32:05 around the shortcomings of AI today
32:08 that's probably a stupid
32:10 move um if you don't know what Sam's
32:13 talking about when he's talking about
32:14 reasoning so let me flip over here to
32:17 chat
32:19 J let's get this reloaded why is this
32:23 not
32:25 loading chat jp.com
32:33 [Music]
32:34 oops come on what are we
32:37 doing what are we doing chat
32:46 GPT uh uh uh uh is it working do you
32:54 work nope not loaded all right well we
32:58 come back to that um let's flip back
33:01 over here and look up uh Ilia Ilia had
33:04 an interesting thing
33:12 today
33:15 this the reason is that why did we
33:18 choose to use the term super
33:20 intelligence the reason is that super
33:22 intelligence is meant to convey
33:23 something that's not just like an AGI
33:25 with AGI we said well you have something
33:28 it's kind of like a person kind of like
33:29 a
33:30 coworker super intelligence is meant
33:33 okay so when Ilia here is talking about
33:36 AGI that stands for artificial general
33:38 intelligence so that's that's the point
33:41 at which the AI becomes as good or
33:44 better than most people at most
33:46 economically viable jobs right we're not
33:49 there yet we're maybe at level two we're
33:52 probably at more like level 1.5 of kind
33:54 of a five stage um definition of AGI
33:58 that open AI put out um the bottom one
34:01 is chat Bots the second one is reasoning
34:03 the third one is Agents the fourth one
34:06 is innovators or inventors and the fifth
34:08 one is organizations like imagine having
34:11 a company of
34:14 10,000 PhD level workers working for you
34:17 that's level five AGI we're not even
34:19 close to that yet but the the tough
34:21 three are the first the first three the
34:23 chat Bots we have reasoning we've got a
34:26 crappy version of in 01 preview you and
34:29 then um agents are starting to to show
34:31 up so these three are about to happen
34:35 but what IL is saying here is Agi is
34:38 just kind of like the model is kind of
34:40 like you have like really good
34:42 co-workers working with you and then he
34:45 left open AI to start this company
34:47 called safe super intelligence and so
34:49 here he is talking about super
34:53 intelligence super intelligence is meant
34:55 to convey something far more capable
34:58 than that when you have such a
35:00 capability it's like can we even imagine
35:03 how it will be but without question it's
35:05 going to be unbelievably
35:07 powerful it could be used to solve
35:10 incomprehensibly hard problems if it is
35:14 used well if we navigate the challenges
35:17 that super intelligence POS poses we
35:20 could we
35:22 could radically improve the quality of
35:24 life but the power of super intelligence
35:26 is so vast why did we so I find that
35:29 absolutely flipp and fascinating that
35:32 you know we're heading we're heading
35:35 to like we're not even at AGI yet and
35:39 and Sam's basically saying don't
35:41 underestimate us right and I would I
35:44 would say the same is true for Google
35:46 for meta for anthropic um for all all
35:50 the major uh for X certainly these tools
35:54 are going to get crazy good but that's
35:57 just in the context of AGI so talking
36:00 about these things like a really
36:02 intelligent coworker really capable
36:05 coworker the super intelligence is like
36:09 what Ilia just described is this is like
36:11 an entity like we've never seen
36:14 before and that's that's kind of Bonkers
36:18 right um all right so let's see Jeff is
36:22 about two more
36:25 power the last five minutes of the
36:27 interview I is relevant to this group
36:29 it's time stamped in the Tweet okay cool
36:32 beautiful we'll go take a look at
36:35 that will this scare the legislators
36:38 even
36:40 more
36:42 well it
36:45 will ideally what it does is it scares
36:48 them not like oh this could only do
36:52 evil right which I think they're well
36:54 aware of that I feel like the
36:56 legislators right now are legislating
36:57 for a place of fear so I think in terms
37:00 of making sure that you know these
37:02 things don't go Rogue like I feel like
37:04 there's an awareness there where I feel
37:07 like there's a lack of awareness with
37:09 legislators is how fast is this stuff
37:11 coming how good is it going to get and
37:14 what kind of global advantages could it
37:17 give us if we're leading with these
37:20 Technologies I think it might be
37:22 shifting but but I don't I don't think
37:25 any of us can comprehend how fast it's
37:27 coming
37:30 um yeah Elon Musk today said within five
37:33 years within you know one to two years
37:35 AGI within five year within three years
37:38 after that ASI artificial super
37:40 intelligence so we're going to we're
37:43 going to have five or six major entities
37:47 that are going to have that level of of
37:51 intelligence including um some open-
37:54 Source models right so um that's going
37:57 to be absolutely
37:59 Bonkers
38:03 um Vicki I'm going to bed you can turn
38:06 off LinkedIn
38:08 now I'll watch it on YouTube put it on
38:11 the put it on your ceiling projected TV
38:15 um okay good night Vicki thank you um
38:18 okay let's go let's go listen to
38:23 um this end thing let's see is this it
38:26 here
38:28 will AI put writers out of
38:30 work let's read through these will llms
38:33 change how we write let's go listen to
38:40 that oh this is from a podcast how I
38:43 write
38:55 interesting come on what are we doing
39:15 let's reload
39:22 this do that yeah someone is going to
39:26 build
39:28 a great tool to write in a new way
39:33 and that will expand the Rel
39:37 possibility to
39:41 focus knowledge of llms
39:45 changed how you think about writing and
39:48 communication I mean I think we are
39:50 going to all not all of us I think many
39:52 of us are going to write in a different
39:54 way in the future I don't mean like
39:55 people are just going to use llms to
39:57 like write stuff for because one of the
39:59 strangest things that I think happens is
40:02 when people put a few bullet points into
40:04 an llm have it generate a nice email
40:06 send it to somebody else and then they
40:08 summarize it on the other end because we
40:10 can't we just can't agree that you know
40:11 we just want the bullet points back and
40:13 forth and there's still this societal
40:14 nicity
40:17 but someone is going to build probably
40:19 somebody already has built a first
40:21 version of this like a
40:23 great
40:25 tool to write in a new way where you
40:28 have this thing that is not you know
40:30 expanding your bullet points but is
40:32 helping you discover new things in the
40:34 idea space and that's awesome like
40:38 that's what computers do at their best
40:39 right is they they help they are a tool
40:42 that help you do things you otherwise
40:43 couldn't do yeah this is something that
40:46 I I think about a lot that you know I've
40:50 heard um I got a decent
40:53 argument in a in a public venue uh last
40:56 week about the the person that came in
40:59 said the the way llms work they cannot
41:02 produce new and novel ideas and I I
41:05 vehemently disagree with him
41:08 and what he was basically saying is
41:12 that the llm can only um process data
41:17 that it's been trained on right and but
41:19 it can't create new ideas and my
41:21 argument is well how do you create new
41:23 ideas how do human beings create new
41:26 ideas they learn it over years and years
41:29 and years and they learn you know how
41:31 this particular author wrote and they
41:33 learn these Concepts over here and they
41:35 learn this and they learn that so
41:36 they've got some limited amount of
41:38 knowledge in their
41:40 Noggin and then at some point their
41:42 Noggin smashes those ideas together and
41:44 out comes a novel thought and I think
41:47 large language models are really good at
41:49 that and particularly when you're in a
41:52 creative
41:53 writing mental space the speed with
41:57 which a lot large language model can
41:58 smash ideas together even if if you
42:01 could prove that it can't come up with
42:03 novel ideas which I don't buy I think it
42:06 can um by Smashing ideas
42:09 together then the human being that sees
42:12 those ideas getting smash together will
42:14 come up with a new novel idea so anyway
42:16 so I I I think that's a really
42:17 interesting idea from Sam um let's
42:21 see what else is in here um how does Sam
42:24 use chat gbt how does become less Sam
42:27 want dreamed of being a novelist I don't
42:29 care lessons from Paul Graham the book
42:32 he wants to write advice for startup
42:35 Founders writing strategy memos why
42:38 isn't chat GPT a better Storyteller
42:40 that's an interesting spot
42:53 4420 you know being in the woods on the
42:55 beach whatever that doesn't really
42:56 happen anymore yeah do you take notes
42:58 during the week that you reflect on or
43:00 is it just your head no I'm a huge
43:01 notaker oh tell me about that there's
43:03 all these like fancy notebooks in the
43:04 world you don't want those um you
43:06 definitely want a spiral notebook
43:08 because one thing that's important is
43:09 you can rip Pages out frequently and you
43:12 also want it to lie like flat and open
43:14 on the table and if you like open pages
43:16 you want them to like you know like be
43:18 able to lay like this whatever you
43:19 definitely want to be able to like rip
43:21 Pages out I'm a big believer of like I
43:23 take a bunch of notes and then I like
43:25 clearly like rip them out so I can look
43:27 at mul Pages at the same time and I can
43:29 like crumple them up and throw them on
43:31 the floor and I'm done like when our
43:32 house cleaner comes in on like a you
43:34 know whatever there's just these pile of
43:37 crumpled papers that I'm like type my
43:39 notes and or whatever on the floor you
43:41 definitely want like a kind of paper
43:43 that is uh like good to write on which
43:46 is a feel thing but most paper is
43:47 terrible to write on huh um you want uh
43:51 hard front and back to the notepad so
43:53 and you also want something that can fit
43:54 in a pocket I was about to say that I
43:56 think the UN ball
44:00 micro5 pen um is the best pen overall
44:04 but the Muji Point 36 or 37 in dark blue
44:08 ink is a very nice pen for other reasons
44:11 uh so those are the by the way I totally
44:13 relate to to pen
44:16 geeking to I would use but I think this
44:19 kind of notebook and one of those two
44:20 pens is the right answer and how many
44:23 notes you're writing per day on that
44:24 thing uh I go through one of these like
44:27 every three three two or 3 weeks oh wow
44:29 so you're taking a lot of well this you
44:31 can see how much I've ripped out like
44:32 this used to have like 100 pag inors so
44:34 that's how you think about it so you're
44:35 going to basically take the notebook and
44:37 then you rip out the pages you don't
44:38 have completed notebook I don't have
44:40 completed notebooks wow what inspired
44:42 this where does this come from lots of
44:43 trial and error uh many kinds of
44:45 notebooks many pens many different
44:46 systems this one's really good another
44:49 thing I've been thinking about when it
44:50 comes to the influence of AGI on
44:53 Creative mediums is just the competence
44:56 with the written word is going up so
44:57 much and here's what I mean there's now
45:00 you know with Sora you can create videos
45:02 using text as the you can do that with
45:05 music you can do that with images and
45:07 that's a big change in terms of the
45:09 influence on of writing on our world
45:12 again for me like writing is a tool for
45:14 thinking most importantly and I don't
45:16 think that's going anywhere so I think
45:18 it's like it's really important that
45:20 people still learn to write for this
45:23 reason in the same way that even if
45:24 there's going to be like less
45:25 traditional coding jobs coding is a
45:27 great way to learn a thing too you
45:29 should still learn a code So when you
45:30 say it's important that people learn to
45:32 write what does that mean Paul rer talks
45:35 about that a lot so Paul rer from the
45:37 marketing AI I marketing AI Institute
45:40 talks about writing as how he learns and
45:43 how he thinks how he internalizes ideas
45:46 um so yeah I'm I'm this is all
45:50 resonating what it means to me is that
45:53 I've like figured out this tool to think
45:54 more clearly now if there's a better way
45:56 to think more clearly with a i great I
45:58 would switch to that definitely not
46:00 found that
46:01 yet a final question that we can close
46:03 with is there's just a lot of people out
46:05 there who are saying that AI is going to
46:06 kill writing and I so dis they're angry
46:09 about it about it and what do you make
46:10 of that I don't see any evidence
46:12 whatsoever that AI seems to be killing
46:15 writing I mean there's like a lot of bad
46:16 AI writing like plastered over the
46:19 Internet um and there's like a lot of
46:21 like bad student assignments that have
46:22 probably been written by AI but I don't
46:25 think anyone's serious I don't think
46:27 Paul Graham is sitting around being like
46:28 AI is going to you know kill my writing
46:30 here I think it would have to be like
46:33 full super intelligence before I was
46:35 like okay this is going to replace human
46:38 writing full stop and we have much
46:41 bigger issues to worry about at that
46:42 point even if that happened um let's say
46:45 we have a system that can write better
46:47 than a human uh do you think that the
46:51 most popular novel of
46:55 2027 has a human name on it or not like
46:58 a human writer on it or not I think yes
47:00 I think it does too when I finish a
47:02 great book the first thing I go do is
47:04 like I want to know about the writer I
47:06 want to know their life story and I
47:08 don't think I'll ever have that feeling
47:10 to like AI writing um that there's there
47:14 is something about you read an
47:17 incredible book and you kind of you get
47:20 connect to a person even though you
47:21 don't literally know them you feel like
47:23 you do and you feel like you have this
47:24 important shared Human Experience and
47:25 that is like some sign ific percentage
47:28 of the enjoyment of a great book to
47:30 me and I bet we keep doing that yeah I
47:34 would agree with that I you know when
47:38 um it's it's one of the
47:41 reasons why
47:44 um there are still chess tournaments
47:47 right we we have ai systems now that we
47:50 could just have ai systems play one
47:52 another in chess and and you know the
47:54 chess games would get increasingly you
47:56 know sophisticated ated and and
47:58 challenging and but they're not it's not
48:00 fun to watch right we want to watch
48:02 Magnus Carlson and see if he you know
48:04 can really pull another one off um and I
48:08 think it's the same with writing and I
48:10 think even if yay we did it brand
48:13 Brandon Brandon's tears are are are you
48:16 know drying on his face now I think he's
48:18 he's like okay we did it we did it we
48:20 saw Sammy um and if the uh if the
48:24 interview from today comes out then uh
48:28 then we we'll look at that one tomorrow
48:30 but but I think I think writing is is a
48:32 similar sort of thing like even if if
48:35 AI significantly augments a writer that
48:41 writer is is still the one that's going
48:43 to put their name on it and put it in
48:44 the world now there might be AIS that
48:46 come up with pseudonyms and put
48:48 themselves in the world it might be hard
48:49 for us
48:51 to
48:53 discern um different um different
48:57 authors right we might we might think
48:59 that a person is behind a book and
49:01 they're actually not it's it's a a
49:04 virtual author so I think that's going
49:06 to be something we're going to have to
49:07 deal with I think the whole idea of
49:09 human identity human
49:11 verification um does start to become
49:14 important uh as as new writers and
49:17 personalities emerge in the
49:19 world
49:21 um but yeah but we're going to
49:23 absolutely use these tools we're going
49:25 to absolutely use these tools I saw a
49:28 Tik Tok today someone sent it to me
49:31 um that was about these bands that are
49:35 fictitious bands and these musicians
49:37 that are fictitious musicians you know
49:39 putting out albums um and I think we're
49:42 going to see a lot of that I think I
49:45 think at some point some you know
49:46 someone's G to get get uh get famous and
49:51 then you know people are going to want
49:52 them to tour and then realize ah they're
49:54 not they're not real
49:57 um you know again I think that I think
50:00 one of the things AI will do is increase
50:03 the value of authentic human
50:07 experiences um it might be crap though I
50:10 can't be objective about it I'm writing
50:14 the story of the future I want to see
50:16 that's kind of cool I feel I I very much
50:20 feel creative in collaborating with AI
50:23 which is significantly augmenting my
50:25 writing I I feel the same way
50:28 I
50:30 the I go from like where I've been
50:34 historically is I'll have an idea for
50:37 something and and with my ADD
50:45 brain for for me to manifest something
50:48 in the
50:49 world it's got to be one of those ideas
50:52 that is persistent right you know those
50:54 ideas that don't leave you alone they
50:55 haunt you
50:59 um that's that's something that I
51:02 historically the ideas that I would
51:04 manifest in the world would be those it
51:07 doesn't mean that the non-hunting ideas
51:10 aren't good it's just sometimes in my
51:12 brain something sticks right um what I'm
51:16 finding with AI is I'll have an idea and
51:19 then I process it somehow with AI and
51:23 it'll spin up three more ideas and I'm
51:25 like oh let me run down that Channel and
51:27 then that'll spin up 10 more ideas and
51:30 so I'm finding that in a creative
51:32 session with AI I'm exploring seven or
51:35 eight or 10 ideas and within that I'm
51:39 either merging them and creating hybrid
51:42 ideas or I'm coming up with you know new
51:44 exciting you know I'm taking one of
51:47 those ideas that I never would have
51:48 gotten to with a traditional approach
51:51 and sometimes I use AI to exploit that
51:54 and sometimes I don't but it's like I
51:55 never would have gotten there had not
51:57 been on that path and that's that's what
51:58 I find exciting khaki fix Simmons
52:01 squirrel
52:02 exactly what AI does is it allows me to
52:05 go squirrel and then manifest that idea
52:08 squirrel manifest that idea and then I
52:10 can sit back and look at him and go oh
52:12 that that's a shitty one but this
52:13 squirrel idea is really
52:16 good it's really really
52:21 fun significantly augmenting my writing
52:24 is a little problematic for for writers
52:27 I disagree with that I fundamentally
52:30 disagree with that Chris most most
52:34 writing is the blocking and tackling of
52:37 just getting the [ __ ] structure down
52:40 right it's not the Nuance in the
52:43 refinement most writing is just the
52:46 [ __ ]
52:48 crap of I have this idea okay now I got
52:51 to come up with a structure now I got to
52:53 put the ideas in the structure if I can
52:55 get a AI to knock out the structure and
52:58 and even start to populate some of the
53:00 structure and then I can go in and look
53:02 at it I I'm still writing I'm Still The
53:05 One refining and and pulling those ideas
53:08 and going no that's a crap idea let me
53:10 swi switch these two things around so I
53:13 I completely disagree I just think it's
53:15 a different way of writing I think it's
53:17 a faster way to process the ideas and
53:20 get the low-level blocking and tackling
53:22 of writing out of the way so I can
53:24 either focus on High level ideation or
53:27 refinement and the [ __ ] in the middle is
53:29 more like curation rather than plotting
53:32 away [ __ ] writing word after word
53:35 after
53:36 word
53:40 so Chris that's how I feel when it
53:42 rewrites my code I I mean listen I think
53:46 that I think that the master Crafts
53:49 People of this
53:52 world that have their
53:54 identity tightly tied to the
53:58 craft are going to have the biggest
54:00 problem with AI for people that love
54:03 putting one word after the other and
54:05 doing that great with ADD I don't have
54:07 the [ __ ] brain for it I hate it that
54:10 that part of the writing process I
54:12 despise I I'm the same way with coding I
54:14 know how to code I'm a shitty coder
54:17 because I despise the detail of all the
54:20 little [ __ ] nuggets I just want to do
54:23 the high level skating right in the case
54:26 of words I can refine it in the case of
54:27 code I can't but if I can get some code
54:30 to just work good enough then that's
54:32 good enough for me but a master coder is
54:35 not going to be happy with that they're
54:36 going to want to refine that same with a
54:38 master writer and I so I think it's just
54:40 going to be different brains will
54:42 interact with these things differently
54:44 and I really do think this idea of the
54:47 more attached you are to the craft of a
54:49 single discipline the rougher this
54:52 transition is going to
54:54 be um
54:57 my story emerged through telling AI
55:00 telling it to AI over and over that's
55:01 pretty
55:03 fascinating um khaki Fitz Simmons yes
55:06 and it takes
55:09 time manually without a tool that can be
55:12 daunting yeah exactly I agree with that
55:15 Kyle I gave 401 save the cat and it
55:18 flipped to hero's journey and
55:20 drastically unblocked and improved my
55:23 drafted screenplay outline I I'll tell
55:25 you what the the thing that I think that
55:27 these things are the best at is sort of
55:32 analyzing and and organizing and you
55:37 know if you've got some semblance of an
55:40 idea and you say I want five different
55:42 storytelling Frameworks it knows them
55:44 all and it can populate five different
55:47 storytelling Frameworks with your idea
55:49 and then you as a human can go look at
55:51 that [ __ ] and go oh this this is the
55:53 direction I want to go I like I find
55:55 that fascinating
55:57 how about I don't even know what that
56:00 means
56:05 Monty all right I think that kind of
56:08 mindset is why many people fear to dance
56:12 or sing they think that there's a
56:13 correct way to do it and they don't want
56:15 to do it badly yeah I I I wouldn't
56:19 disagree with that I had an image in my
56:21 head that I wanted to paint I described
56:24 it to Google in detail it created it and
56:26 then I painted it on canvas incredible
56:28 that's the thing Cara so you know
56:32 someone
56:33 someone I mean my wife's an artist I
56:36 know a lot of
56:39 artists and from the outside they look
56:42 at Ai and they're like I just it you
56:43 know it just vomits out work like even
56:45 if they understand the Nuance that it's
56:47 not copying and pasting art even if they
56:49 understand it's generating art there's
56:51 something about the speed with which it
56:54 generates that art that that devalues it
56:59 in some people's minds and what I would
57:01 argue is you had an image in your head
57:02 you wanted to paint
57:04 it you were able to visualize that
57:06 within seconds and then that allowed you
57:09 to have a a point of reference of the
57:11 thing you wanted to see in the world and
57:13 express that in a different way I don't
57:15 see anything wrong with that at all I
57:17 find that really exciting I'm trying to
57:20 write in a way that actively
57:24 avoids the standard
57:26 drives the story structure it seems more
57:28 interesting to me but maybe it sucks but
57:31 I mean you know what's fascinating
57:32 archetypal architect here's a thing to
57:34 try if you haven't tried it
57:37 is have the AI ask the
57:41 AI
57:44 um what are some successful novels or
57:48 screenplays or
57:50 stories
57:52 that you know are in the world where
57:55 conflict doesn't Drive the story and
57:58 then once it tells you them tell it to
58:01 analyze all those stories and break down
58:03 the structure and give you ideas for
58:06 your story and you could even have it
58:07 analyze your story against those
58:10 successful stories where conflict
58:11 doesn't drive the
58:13 action um these people are the bane of
58:16 my existence it's too fast oh I exactly
58:21 I know that there's something I I think
58:25 we are all going to have to confront
58:26 front the speed that these tools work
58:29 right like one of the one of the areas I
58:33 get completely overwhelmed with with
58:35 with AI is it gives me too many options
58:39 right the curation part of it is hard
58:41 because there's so much coming at me but
58:44 I'm the one driving it I'm the one
58:45 saying give me more ideas give me more
58:47 ideas and I'll run down a rabbit hole
58:49 and sometimes I like the rabbit hole
58:50 better than I like the main thread and
58:53 then I'm kind of in this you know state
58:57 that's a good idea Kyle yeah great try
58:59 that let let me know how that goes Ron
59:01 Weaver that's how I useo I write the
59:03 words and I use AI as a producer who can
59:05 provide alternative music ideas that's
59:08 [ __ ] perfect right I mean like like
59:11 with music production in general you
59:14 know when you talk to musical Geniuses
59:16 they're like oh okay well we could take
59:18 a Samba beat over here and then we could
59:20 put it in a 162 you know chord
59:22 progression and why don't we do it in in
59:24 64 no let's do it in two three you know
59:27 what let's do it in in the big two right
59:31 and they're saying all these terms and
59:33 like if if they share an example with
59:37 you you're like oh that's what that
59:39 means but if your brain if you're not
59:42 encyclopedic
59:45 musically but you know what you like
59:47 you've got good musical taste then soono
59:51 what it allows you to do is just
59:54 describe [ __ ] randomly okay give give me
59:56 some Electronica with folk okay that I
59:59 don't know how that would be and then it
1:00:01 does something you're like oh that's
1:00:02 kind of cool or maybe it rewrites a
1:00:05 prompt or maybe you have chat GPT write
1:00:07 the prompts and it's writing things with
1:00:09 musical terms you may not understand how
1:00:11 to produce musically butso
1:00:14 does and then you listen to 10 12 you
1:00:18 know 50 versions of a song idea and
1:00:21 there's going to be one in there that
1:00:24 just is like Bang that's me I'll I'll sh
1:00:27 I'll share something with
1:00:29 you
1:00:41 um some of you have seen this before so
1:00:43 this is these are all the images I made
1:00:46 for um in in the fall of
1:00:49 2022 I was super into okay World Series
1:00:53 update top of the 9th LA Dodgers one
1:00:57 out guy in first and second leading 7 to
1:01:01 six
1:01:04 okay
1:01:05 so I figured out how to install stable
1:01:08 diffusion after nine failed attempts I
1:01:11 figured out how to use this thing called
1:01:13 dream Booth to do these these funny kind
1:01:15 of self-portraits of me um this one
1:01:18 ended up becoming uh the Genesis image
1:01:21 so this was the very first image I
1:01:24 posted in um
1:01:27 in my Instagram Kyle Shannon dreams
1:01:29 account and I wrote a little story for
1:01:31 this guy like part of what this project
1:01:33 did was it it it inspired me like
1:01:38 um like I felt like I was living
1:01:41 vicariously through these characters I
1:01:43 was creating and I'm like I want to know
1:01:45 this guy's story and so that's what I
1:01:47 wrote on Instagram so if you go to
1:01:49 instagram.com KY Shannon dreams or Tik
1:01:52 tok.com KY Shannon dreams you'll see a
1:01:54 bunch of these images and the stories
1:01:55 that I wrot
1:01:57 but I made I don't know I must have made
1:02:00 10,000 of these images and the ones that
1:02:03 are in here are the ones that I thought
1:02:04 were you know worth hanging on to but
1:02:07 there's one image in here that blew my
1:02:13 mind let me see if I can find
1:02:18 it I mean some of them are just funny
1:02:21 like some of them are just like that
1:02:22 one's just crazy it's you know these are
1:02:25 all like me but not me you know they're
1:02:28 like they're just so
1:02:30 [Laughter]
1:02:34 funny it's the image that I use for the
1:02:37 AI learning lab is the one that I'm
1:02:39 talking
1:02:43 about so I'm making all these images
1:02:45 making all these images and this is over
1:02:47 weeks and weeks you
1:02:51 know these were really cool
1:03:00 [Music]
1:03:03 there it is that
1:03:10 image when this image emerged out of
1:03:14 stable
1:03:17 diffusion it took my breath away like it
1:03:20 was like it was like this emotional
1:03:22 like kind of
1:03:25 moment and and the reason
1:03:28 was this this was an image
1:03:34 that is me
1:03:36 like is exactly my aesthetic
1:03:41 taste and it's the kind of image that if
1:03:44 I had the technical ability that I would
1:03:46 have created from the ground
1:03:48 up and so I think that a lot of
1:03:53 how the creative people that I respect
1:03:56 are using AI is the thing that remains
1:03:59 intact is their
1:04:01 taste right their
1:04:03 discernment their creative point of view
1:04:07 what AI does is it vomits out ideas like
1:04:10 thousands and thousands of ideas right
1:04:12 like all these ideas Bam Bam vomit vomit
1:04:15 vomit and some of them are funny right
1:04:17 like you know here it gave me some ample
1:04:19 bosoms that's [ __ ] hilarious great
1:04:21 right you know um you know this one's
1:04:24 fascinating and weird and creepy
1:04:27 um you know here I am the you know the
1:04:30 Cabbage empresario of Wisconsin I think
1:04:33 is is what I what I gave him but then
1:04:36 when it does something that
1:04:40 is like 100% in line with who you are
1:04:45 creatively that's when you realize that
1:04:47 that there's something there can be
1:04:49 something Transcendent about AI if you
1:04:53 allow yourself to just be in that place
1:04:56 where when it generates something that's
1:04:58 in line with who you are you go that's a
1:05:00 thing I want to put in the
1:05:02 world
1:05:03 right and that's the like the art art is
1:05:08 essentially when the artist stops and
1:05:11 says this is good enough to put in the
1:05:13 world if you haven't read the Rick Rubin
1:05:16 book on creativity and and how he goes
1:05:19 about music production I mean it's it's
1:05:22 all he doesn't know music production he
1:05:25 doesn't know music
1:05:26 music people hire him because of his
1:05:31 taste and that
1:05:34 ultimately is the people that you want
1:05:37 to work with are people that have good
1:05:39 taste because the Tactical execution of
1:05:42 all this stuff is going to happen by the
1:05:45 tools but but why do I choose this image
1:05:49 over this image I don't know cuz while
1:05:53 that one's cool and interesting that's
1:05:55 me
1:05:58 right makes
1:06:01 sense Bonkers
1:06:05 right I like Lord font Leroy
1:06:08 Kyle fat Kyle is still one of my
1:06:11 favorites oh he's mine too I mean some
1:06:13 of them are just the
1:06:15 best here I'll show you some of the Tik
1:06:17 Tok ones because I did I did voice
1:06:19 acting in the Tik Tok
1:06:22 ones uh Tik Tock so this is Kyle Shannon
1:06:25 dreams is where I'm
1:06:29 going so bottom of the
1:06:31 ninth Dodgers are
1:06:34 up
1:06:36 76 if the Dodgers win they win the World
1:06:39 Series if the Yankees win they go back
1:06:43 to LA
1:06:59 [Music]
1:07:04 what
1:07:06 [Music]
1:07:11 happened And So It Begins there was a
1:07:15 time until very recently where you had
1:07:17 to live life to experience it that time
1:07:20 has passed I now lead a life beyond
1:07:24 explanation I am AER first in the
1:07:26 Dreamscape so Grand it defies all
1:07:30 logic these images are the artifacts of
1:07:33 my existence Welcome to my life Welcome
1:07:38 to my
1:07:40 dream right so kind of fun things and
1:07:44 then let's see if I have any fun ones
1:07:47 here um
1:07:49 [Music]
1:07:51 here's enjoy the sweets children in
1:07:56 dulge to your heart's
1:07:58 Delight reveal yourselves to me imagine
1:08:02 yourself floating effortlessly down a
1:08:05 river of
1:08:06 delights close your eyes spread your
1:08:10 arms wide and let yourselves fall
1:08:15 backwards trust
1:08:19 me it's so funny I'm looking at these
1:08:21 now like the the ability to animate the
1:08:24 the faces just wasn't really there I
1:08:26 mean I could have done it if I 3D
1:08:27 modeled them and did all that
1:08:29 [ __ ] um so I just used you know
1:08:35 [Laughter]
1:08:38 technology ah
1:08:42 technology I mean Tom's got a bit about
1:08:44 being too fat to see his dick anymore
1:08:46 and he follows it up with 5 minutes on
1:08:48 his explosive diarrhea and everyone
1:08:50 loves him I make one joke about a
1:08:53 transphobic fireman getting nervous at
1:08:55 the urinal and I can't play the pyy
1:08:57 Student Center anymore I think I might
1:08:59 go back to improv oh I'm sorry uh what
1:09:02 was your order
1:09:07 again oh [ __ ] I didn't I didn't you
1:09:10 couldn't see any of that God damn it I'm
1:09:12 such an
1:09:17 idiot
1:09:18 here I mean Tom's got a bit about being
1:09:21 too fat to see his dick anymore so
1:09:24 anyway that that's think that I didn't
1:09:26 you couldn't see
1:09:29 those And So It Begins there was a time
1:09:33 until very recently where you had to
1:09:35 live life to experience it that time has
1:09:38 passed I now lead a life beyond
1:09:41 explanation I am immersed in a
1:09:43 Dreamscape so Grand it defies all
1:09:47 logic these images are the artifacts of
1:09:51 my existence welcome to my life Welcome
1:09:55 to my my dream so anyway sorry about
1:09:59 that I don't I need a
1:10:01 producer we're seeing the world through
1:10:04 the Joy on Kyle's face the Kyle radio
1:10:07 show yeah sorry about that oh well can't
1:10:11 see can't quite see why but I like
1:10:15 YouTube better than Tik Tok yeah I think
1:10:17 it's just I think it's the ability to
1:10:19 you know just have the full
1:10:21 screen um you know here's one of my
1:10:24 arguments um
1:10:27 our eyes are still left and right like
1:10:30 we see wider than we see tall like our
1:10:33 eyes have not evolved to this yet so
1:10:36 while this is more
1:10:38 ergonomically um correct for our hands
1:10:41 and that's why we have all these
1:10:42 vertical things that's
1:10:45 uncomfortable um our eyes are still like
1:10:48 this so that's why landscape video I I
1:10:50 think is more pleasing but that could
1:10:52 just be the Gen xer in me that grew up
1:10:55 with
1:10:56 TVs um all right is there anything I
1:10:59 wanted to show you there's there was one
1:11:01 tool that I found today that that's
1:11:03 pretty slick it's
1:11:05 called
1:11:07 cesia play. cia.
1:11:11 a and they've got this voice changer
1:11:14 thing that um I can just
1:11:18 record
1:11:21 um oh wait I'm not I'm doing the same
1:11:24 mistake again damn it there we
1:11:27 go so
1:11:29 caresia do play. cartesia
1:11:34 doai and I went to the voice changer
1:11:38 um
1:11:39 thing and then you can either upload a
1:11:42 clip so you can record a clip outside of
1:11:44 this or you can just record it right in
1:11:46 here so you can
1:11:52 say I love small puppies puppies are
1:11:56 lovely I I like going to the to the
1:11:59 pound and looking at the puppies and oh
1:12:02 the LA Dodgers just won the World Series
1:12:05 in New York everyone's booing them but
1:12:07 they're winning yay they did it
1:12:11 yay okay so and now I can just change
1:12:15 the voice oops error changing the voice
1:12:19 why uh uh change
1:12:22 voice maybe I did it too long
1:12:33 here we
1:12:34 go I love small puppies puppies are
1:12:39 lovely I I like going to the to the
1:12:42 pound and looking at the puppies and oh
1:12:45 the LA Dodgers just won the World Series
1:12:48 in New York everyone's booing them but
1:12:50 they're winning yay they did it yay and
1:12:54 then there's all these voices so Barber
1:12:56 Shop man change
1:13:02 voice well that fifth inning where the
1:13:05 Yankees melted down that'll go down in
1:13:09 history they're up five to
1:13:12 nothing I love small puppies puppies are
1:13:16 lovely I I like going to the to the
1:13:19 pound and looking at the puppies and oh
1:13:22 the LA Dodgers just won the World Series
1:13:25 in New York everyone's booing them but
1:13:27 they're win it yay they did it
1:13:31 yay so anyway I thought that was a good
1:13:34 one to show you cuz if you want to
1:13:37 create if you want to create crazy
1:13:39 voices for your animated Act One things
1:13:43 or wherever you're doing it is it free I
1:13:45 think it's free khaki I don't I just
1:13:48 went there and played with
1:13:49 it
1:13:53 um yeah and it's cia.
1:13:58 a and they've got an instant clone where
1:14:00 you can clone your
1:14:02 voice record a voice
1:14:07 clip please upgrade to clone voices yeah
1:14:10 so it looks like some of the things in
1:14:12 here like if if I wanted
1:14:15 to have you record something and then
1:14:18 use my voice on top of it I would have
1:14:20 to have my own cloned
1:14:22 voice but localize what's
1:14:28 that
1:14:31 yeah original speaker gender Target
1:14:36 accent that's
1:14:39 fascinating pick a
1:14:42 voice Italian Comm
1:14:52 man oh each localization cost 200 125
1:14:57 characters all right so some of these
1:14:59 things cost money interesting but voice
1:15:01 changer seems to be
1:15:04 free
1:15:07 so all right good
1:15:10 people nope they want my phone number
1:15:13 Jeff
1:15:14 Flanigan like all the nft guys were like
1:15:17 that not not if they're going to dox
1:15:21 me see see for those of us
1:15:25 who who like I don't know when it was
1:15:30 probably in the late
1:15:33 90s maybe the early 2000s I was just
1:15:36 like [ __ ] it I'll just put all my [ __ ]
1:15:39 on the internet like I sto I stopped
1:15:41 fighting that fight cuz quite frankly
1:15:44 Google knows it all anyway they've
1:15:45 triangulated all the data anyway so Kyle
1:15:48 check your
1:15:50 regulars all right let me check IR
1:15:52 regulars Irregulars
1:15:57 hello
1:16:01 regulars oh nice wow check this
1:16:07 out Danielle
1:16:09 did did a knockoff of my favorite image
1:16:12 that's beautiful love
1:16:14 it yeah and and you know Danielle what's
1:16:17 funny is like this is I look at this and
1:16:20 I'm like yeah that's that's the kind of
1:16:21 thing that I would love to be able to
1:16:23 create and we now live in a world world
1:16:25 where I could create that you could
1:16:28 create that you could be inspired by my
1:16:29 thing I could be inspired by your thing
1:16:31 someone else could just like the the the
1:16:34 Fibonacci spirals that are coming out of
1:16:36 the smoke here and and go do a whole
1:16:38 artwork based on that
1:16:41 right
1:16:48 crazy
1:16:51 um all right so where I am right now I'm

1:17:13 a remarkable Community we we start with
1:17:16 h a video from myself and Leah faston
1:17:18 who's a co-founder of the salon we talk
1:17:21 about the journey to AI literacy which
1:17:23 is really quite simple it starts with
1:17:25 play play to learn these tools like one
1:17:28 of the reasons I kind of [ __ ] around
1:17:29 with these tools and just do it in a non
1:17:32 serious way is that's how we can find
1:17:34 the boundaries of these tools and figure
1:17:36 out how they actually work and what
1:17:37 they're good at and what they're not and
1:17:39 then when you want to actually do
1:17:40 something you've got some knowledge
1:17:42 across a series of tools where you can
1:17:44 mindfully create and then generously
1:17:46 lead is like Learn out Loud tell people
1:17:49 what you're doing tell people what's
1:17:51 working what's not share how you do what
1:17:53 you're doing because it's we're we're
1:17:56 moving into a world of infinite content
1:17:59 generation where it's going to be
1:18:00 infinitely easy to create stuff and to
1:18:03 come up with ideas so the preciousness
1:18:06 of feeling like you have to hoard your
1:18:08 ideas let that [ __ ] go because things
1:18:11 are moving too fast to be able
1:18:14 to sustain yourself in that world people
1:18:18 are going to just sort of blow your
1:18:19 doors off just blow by you so anyway
1:18:22 that's what this community is all about
1:18:24 um there's a simple little seven-step
1:18:26 onboarding process here just walk
1:18:28 yourself through that and then you know
1:18:30 we've got you know about the community
1:18:32 we've got a news area the showand tell
1:18:34 areas are where you can go show off your
1:18:36 you know latest images and things like
1:18:38 that um but also every one of these has
1:18:41 a list of recommended
1:18:43 tools and a place to talk about hey how
1:18:46 do you use that tool how' you do that
1:18:48 thing every one of these showand tell
1:18:50 areas has that so it's an incredibly
1:18:53 valuable resource and then we've got
1:18:55 creative guilds all these sub
