0:00 Oh
0:01 yeah. Champy, come
0:05 on. Champy, you ready?

0:44 Freedom came away that
0:49 night just like a jet plane in and out
0:53 of sight.
0:56 I was hauling ass at a million miles an
0:59 hour wondering how hard I'd
1:05 hit when they came into the
1:12 stage. They said I was bad beyond
1:18 repair, but I got no cause with my
1:22 situation.
1:25 Say here I am.
1:28 [Music]
1:33 So say Sheree Sheree Sheree won't you
1:38 dare to say Sheree Sheree Sheree won't
1:43 you dare to say Sheree Sheree
1:50 Sheree. Uhhuh.
1:53 Yeah. Leave a message and your number,
1:59 please. Take your time to want to
2:02 satisfy me.
2:06 Take all these old fantasies and send
2:09 them care of me.
2:14 [Music]
2:17 Good evening, good people of the
2:19 internet.
2:22 I know we're starting at a weird time. I
2:25 didn't start exactly at 8:30. It didn't
2:26 start at 9:00. Didn't start at 8. It's
2:28 just weird. Danielle, what's happening?
2:30 What's shaking? What's going down? Wolf
2:32 man
2:33 Clinty singing for his cheese. He is
2:38 indeed. He is
2:47 indeed. I think I have a fun creative
2:49 exercise to do tonight. We had Danny
2:51 Danny Kravitz who's a a screenwriter and
2:54 a creative writing uh coach and teacher
2:59 professor spoke at the AI salon
3:03 tonight. Give me an idea for something
3:05 to do here tonight.
3:07 [Music]
3:21 Is this place I can rest my poor
3:26 [Music]
3:28 head? Gather my thoughts in sweet
3:32 silence.
3:33 [Music]
3:36 It is this place where the feelings
3:39 aren't
3:43 dead. From an over exposure to
3:47 violence. This is place I can slowly
3:51 face. The only one I truly can
3:56 know. These are tears from a long time
4:00 ago. Got these tears from a long time
4:03 ago.
4:05 I need to cry. 30 years old.
4:09 So these are tears for a long time.
4:14 [Music]
4:23 Oh darling, oh darling, say unto
4:29 me, where have you been all my
4:34 [Music]
4:36 life? Well, I have been swimming seven
4:40 sad
4:43 seas. Four women have to me their life.
4:48 and pull me into the waters darker in
4:52 I'd have won them but I didn't
4:56 know these are tears from a long time
5:00 ago. Got these tears from a long time
5:04 ago. I need to cry 30 years or
5:09 so. These are tears from a long
5:14 time ago.
5:16 [Music]
5:28 What do you think,
5:31 Champion? All right, good people. Good
5:34 people. Champy approved. We have a Tik
5:35 Tok question at your
5:38 discretion. What do you say about
5:40 Nvidia's CEO says future of coding as a
5:43 career might already be dead uh due to
5:46 AI?
5:48 I think entrylevel engineering is
5:51 probably pretty close to being dead. I
5:55 don't know
5:56 where people coming out of college with
5:59 engineering degrees go. Now, here's the
6:02 caveat to that.
6:04 If you went to college for
6:07 coding and what you learned was to
6:10 code and you listened to your university
6:13 that said AI is evil and if you use it
6:15 you're a bad person. If you listen to
6:18 that, I think you're going to have a
6:20 hard time getting a job. Now, if you
6:23 went to a college that had didn't have
6:25 their head up their ass or if you went
6:27 to to a college that had that rule and
6:29 you said, "Fuck it. I'm going to learn
6:30 AI anyway."
6:32 and you're an engineer that understands
6:35 how to code and how to do projects and
6:37 you're AI literate like generative AI
6:40 like vibe coding like really
6:42 understanding what's going on I think
6:44 you have a much higher chance of getting
6:46 work
6:50 um but yeah I think that
6:53 um so let me just I I'll just say this
6:57 you know for my I'm I'm 13 years I I run
6:59 a company called Story Vine
7:01 which is a technology
7:03 company.
7:06 And I would rather have a senior
7:10 person that knows how to vibe
7:14 code than two or three junior people
7:17 that cost
7:19 less. Um because that senior person will
7:23 have seen a lot more and will understand
7:26 a lot more. So um that's a really good
7:29 question. It's a really good question.
7:31 Um, the fact of the matter is we don't
7:34 we don't quite know, but the the coding
7:37 stuff
7:39 is, you know, we're
7:45 probably year and a
7:47 half, maybe a
7:49 year, two
7:51 years away from these tools, these these
7:56 agents being good enough that they can
7:59 just go do anything, right? Point it at
8:02 your GitHub
8:03 repository, say, "Go to this fork and
8:07 analyze it, debug it, refactor it, and
8:10 it'll just go off and do that
8:13 shit." So, Mr. It is late.
8:17 Unbelievable. Ocean says hi to Source
8:20 Camp. That means Source Camp's here on
8:22 time. I'm still blown away by this fact.
8:25 The fact that like we're we're that
8:28 close to this [ __ ] being that good. I
8:30 know.
8:31 [Music]
8:47 It's like all the AI people and the vibe
8:49 coders are all black
8:53 sheep sitting in this lonely
8:56 town wondering when things are going to
9:01 change. Dream my life away.
9:05 Seems these dreams have turned to a
9:08 bunch of dust
9:10 clouds. Getting my nerve up, but my past
9:15 is pulling me
9:16 [Music]
9:18 down. Wondering how
9:21 long this black sheep going to stick
9:24 around.
9:30 Somebody told me once before he said you
9:33 can never go home
9:36 again. Won't you
9:38 leave Santa things to steer me away?
9:42 Yeah. From the truth of who I am and
9:45 what I believe. So I thanked him for his
9:49 two cents with a
9:50 handshake and some sympathy. Yeah.
9:55 I packed up my blue
9:57 jeans. I'm headed for this big
10:01 prize of my
10:05 freedom.
10:06 Bye-bye, black sheep to the black sheep
10:11 of the
10:13 family.
10:14 [Music]
10:17 Bye-bye. Oh, that means so very much to
10:20 me. And
10:23 bye-bye black sheep to the black sheep
10:27 of the
10:29 family.
10:31 [Music]
10:32 Bye-bye. Going to set my
10:37 soul. Set it
10:42 free. Um, you're welcome to. Who? Who
10:45 was that? Uh, mansar
10:50 mx5x, thanks for the good explanation.
10:53 Yeah, I don't know if it's a great
10:55 explanation, but I but here's the thing
10:57 is
11:06 the I don't think any of this stuff's
11:09 hyperbole, right? Time magazine has got
11:13 a cover coming out that's going to be
11:14 talking about AGI, artificial general
11:16 intelligence. Artificial general
11:18 intelligence is generally
11:21 um generally agreed upon. There's like a
11:24 million different definitions, but it's
11:25 generally agreed upon that we've hit
11:27 artificial general intelligence when the
11:30 AI is strong enough to do to be able to
11:34 do as good or better than most people at
11:37 most jobs. Like do the jobs
11:42 most people at most jobs. Now, if you're
11:44 an exceptional
11:45 person at your job, maybe it can't do
11:49 that. But if you're average or lower,
11:52 it's going to be able to do all of
11:54 that. So, we're probably
11:57 within what's it
11:59 2025. Ray Curtzwhile put it at
12:04 2029. I'd put it at 2027 and a half.
12:07 We're two and a half, two years away.
12:11 two to three years away from
12:14 AGI. So, I don't think it's just
12:16 engineers, by the way. I don't think
12:18 it's just programmers, right? That's
12:20 what that's what Jensen was talking
12:21 about. But, uh, Brandon just pointed
12:24 out, and it's a good point.
12:26 V3 V3 is the first brick to be knocked
12:31 out of the wall of film production in my
12:33 opinion. I mean, we've had things that
12:35 are pretty good, but VO3 does the
12:38 acting, right? So, it does it's doing
12:41 full-on production. So, give that two
12:44 years, three years. We'll we will be
12:47 speaking feature films into
12:51 existence. YouTube comment, Dennis M.
12:54 Basically, it will be a jack of all
12:56 trades, master of none. I disagree with
12:59 that entirely. I think it will be a jack
13:02 of all trades, master of most.
13:05 Um, here's where humans still have a
13:09 role is we get to determine what we want
13:14 these things to do, but I think these
13:16 things are going to be good enough to do
13:17 whatever the [ __ ] we want them to
13:19 do. Like, we're still the ones driving,
13:22 right?
13:24 I in in Dan Danny Kravitz's talk
13:27 tonight, um, a a thing popped in my head
13:31 right now. A lot of people ask,
13:34 um, how do he put
13:40 it?
13:45 Like, how how do you put it?
13:50 I I'll I'll I'll find the statement
13:52 because I I turned it into I turned it
13:53 into a pair of opposing questions. But
13:55 the basic idea was a lot of what we're
13:57 doing right now is how can I do
13:59 something remarkable with AI, right? And
14:02 I think that's the wrong question. I
14:04 think the question is how can I do
14:06 something remarkable for
14:08 myself with
14:11 AI? Right? How can I do something that
14:14 is outstanding for me with
14:17 AI? That's where I think we go. I think
14:20 I think where we go I think that the big
14:23 epiphany for me is that it's not like
14:26 these tools are doing something to
14:29 us. That's the trope right now. The
14:32 trope right now is the AI is taking our
14:35 jobs. The AI is ruining my life. The AI
14:37 is doing this. No, no, no. Flip that.
14:40 What if the what if the equation is more
14:42 like what how can I make myself
14:45 remarkable using AI?
14:50 Right? I know how to tell stories. I
14:52 know how to write. I know how to do
14:54 video
14:55 stuff. Well, rather than having to do it
14:58 manually, the old-fashioned way, what if
15:00 I turned myself into a remarkable
15:02 filmmaker by just speaking it into
15:07 existence? So, that's that's a new kind
15:10 of skill. It's a new kind of mindset.
15:13 Um, so
15:15 anyway, did we know that Apple is going
15:18 with Anthropic to embed Xcode for vibe
15:20 coding? I may be late to the game. Well,
15:22 I mentioned it tonight in the in the
15:24 salon. Um, but I just saw it. I just saw
15:27 it right before the salon. It was it
15:29 wasn't in there basically. Agreed. How
15:31 can I use AI to improve my own life?
15:33 Yeah, exactly. Honestly, screw everyone
15:35 else. How can I use it to help me? Yeah,
15:38 but but Dennis, that's like I know
15:39 you're being, you know, cynical and
15:41 sarcastic and snarky, which I
15:45 love. I think first we all have to
15:48 understand what AI can do for me and
15:51 then you can start to say, well, wait,
15:53 what do I want to do in the world and
15:55 how can I use AI to help me do that
15:58 thing in the world? And in doing that,
16:00 we'll be able to help lots of other
16:01 people. Like, I think that's where this
16:04 goes. But I don't I don't think any of
16:06 us can escape having to understand what
16:09 it makes possible for
16:12 us before we can understand how to help
16:15 others. But it's not AI is happening to
16:19 us. It's we get to improve ourselves. We
16:22 get to amplify our own
16:25 ideas by using
16:28 AI. That's the optimistic spin on it,
16:31 right?
16:34 Um, forever hook GPT analyze 17 picks
16:37 picked out vids from PPTs. Word docs
16:40 made a list in two
16:42 seconds. Laugh in my a I actually got
16:46 the words mixed up. I meant instead of
16:48 looking at it as bad see the positive.
16:52 Copilot couldn't
16:54 see
16:57 something. Oh, co-pilot could even do it
17:00 with two pickics. Yeah, co-pilot's a
17:02 piece of garbage, it does
17:03 seem. How can we make it work for us?
17:06 Well, okay. So, this is really good.
17:10 Okay. So, so if you stick around
17:12 tonight, I think the exercise I'm going
17:14 to do, we're going to go to midjourney
17:15 and we're just going to play in
17:16 midjourney. Um, but Danny Kravitz came
17:19 on on the salon tonight and he spoke
17:22 about how you get creatively productive
17:28 is you go into a flow. You go into a
17:32 state where you stop judging how bad you
17:36 are. You stop comparing yourself to
17:37 other people. You just go into the state
17:39 and say
17:40 that every bad piece of art and every
17:43 masterpiece all started with some single
17:46 line, some single
17:48 stroke. Every song started with some
17:51 single
17:52 note. And if you just looked at that
17:56 line, it would be indistinguishable
17:58 whether it was a 5-year-old that did it
18:01 or, you
18:03 know,
18:05 Rembrandt, same line, right? But then
18:08 the lines after that, something more
18:10 emerges and then you get into the flow
18:12 and then you get into the
18:13 flow. And he was saying really work on
18:16 letting go of those limiting beliefs.
18:18 When you're in the creative flow state,
18:19 you just let go of all that [ __ ] I
18:22 think with generative AI right now
18:24 because all the tools are so new and
18:26 none of us know exactly how they're
18:29 going to benefit us and they don't we
18:31 don't even know what they really make
18:33 possible, right? We have what the
18:35 scientists have told us.
18:38 We know that 03
18:41 Pro is good at math, which if you're not
18:45 good at math, I guess you just trust
18:48 them that that it's at the 89th
18:51 percentile of whatever the [ __ ] test it
18:53 is. But what can that same model do for
18:56 me? I don't know
18:58 yet. How will I know? By getting into a
19:01 state where you're just like, well, let
19:03 me explore with this. Let me play with
19:04 this. Let me Right.
19:07 And so I thought it might be fun tonight
19:09 to go into midjourney and just do some
19:11 some of the exercises that Danny talked
19:13 about and just kind of navigate through
19:15 some [ __ ]
19:17 Um, but I think the answer to what can
19:20 AI do for
19:22 me is it is again it's the wrong
19:27 question. How can you amplify
19:30 yourself using
19:33 AI? And so what that then looks like is,
19:36 well, who are
19:38 you? What do you want? What do you want
19:40 to
19:42 do? Do you want to be an artist? Do you
19:44 want to be a
19:46 writer? Are you a
19:48 copywriter? And you love doing
19:51 copywriting? Well, how can AI make you a
19:54 better copywriter? Because I guarantee
19:56 you it
19:58 can. Is there something you've always
20:01 dreamed of doing, but you don't have the
20:02 talent or skills or access or resources?
20:05 Well, now maybe you
20:07 can. So, I think that's kind of it. I
20:10 know many artists who can't draw a
20:12 stickman, but with digital Photoshop,
20:14 they can outdes any canvas artist. And
20:18 we today accept their creation, but
20:20 there are prejudices with AI.
20:23 Yep. This is Listen, this is nothing
20:26 new.
20:28 Do you know how much they made fun of
20:29 Photoshop artists, layout artists when
20:31 when when I was coming up in the in the
20:34 80s doing
20:36 Photoshop and Quark
20:39 Express? The guys that sat at the
20:41 drafting tables with their different
20:43 width tape making lines and rules around
20:46 a page, sticking it physically down on a
20:51 board. They didn't think what I did was
20:54 design. They were like, "That's just
20:56 that computer
20:58 thing." They weren't working there much
21:02 longer. So, this is It's not new. It's
21:05 not
21:07 new.
21:11 Ug. Stop giving me
21:15 nightmares. I'm getting a little sad
21:17 because what I struggle with now will be
21:20 easy for all
21:21 soon. Yeah, I know. I
21:25 know. But here's the thing, Joy. Here's
21:28 the big
21:32 secret. Just because it will be easy for
21:35 anyone to make a
21:39 film, they don't have your point of
21:41 view. They don't have your perspective.
21:44 They don't have your
21:45 stories. You're going to tell
21:49 stories in a way that's going to be
21:51 unique and different from theirs. And if
21:54 you retain your point of view, your
21:57 creative point of view, then your work
21:59 is going to stand
22:01 out. If everyone's just vomiting out
22:04 work with no thought to the
22:07 story, it's all going to be just become
22:09 noise. It's all going to look beautiful.
22:11 It's all going to be well structured and
22:13 beautiful, but it won't rise above the
22:15 noise. The only thing that's going to
22:16 rise above the noise is people who've
22:20 created things with with intention and
22:22 with a point of
22:24 view.
22:26 So, but but everything's going to
22:28 change. How we do it, who does it, how
22:31 fast it happens, how good it is, all of
22:34 that's going to
22:35 change. It doesn't mean it will be a
22:37 good film. Correct. Exactly.
22:46 [Music]
22:48 How can we make it work for us?
22:51 [Music]
23:04 What everyone essentially needs to
23:05 become are producers, creative
23:09 directors, strategists who can do
23:13 tactics.
23:14 [Music]
23:47 What do you think, Champy?
23:49 [Music]
24:04 with limited resources, it's hard to get
24:07 things done. So Mystic, what I would say
24:09 to
24:10 that, most of the tools have some free
24:13 version. Chat
24:15 GPT, the free version of ChatgPT does a
24:19 remarkable amount of stuff. a remarkable
24:22 amount of
24:25 stuff just within chat GPT paying
24:28 nothing you could do a lot a lot and
24:33 most of the image generators have a free
24:36 version I think the song generators have
24:38 a free version video not so much because
24:42 it's expensive so they don't really give
24:43 that [ __ ] away
24:47 um and if you can swing 20 bucks a month
24:49 I mean GPT5 is coming out probably
24:52 within two months and it's going to be a
24:55 beast. It's going to be some crazy ass
24:57 multimodal thing and it's going to be
25:00 available to free users as
25:03 well. So don't if if you're not using AI
25:09 because you've either convinced yourself
25:11 as someone has told you, oh, you got to
25:14 pay all these subscriptions. That's
25:16 [ __ ] That is [ __ ] $20 chat GPT
25:19 is crazy good. Free chat GPT is crazy
25:21 good. Yeah. I mean, if you had told me
25:24 two and a half years ago what would be
25:26 possible today for the free version, I'd
25:29 have been like, "No
25:31 [Music]
25:33 way." Finally, GPT5. Really? Yeah. I
25:37 don't know when it's
25:38 [Music]
25:43 coming. Stea Leonardo AI just dropped
25:45 Lucid Realism to make films. Nice.
25:50 Free Gemini Deep Mind is good
25:53 also. Free Claude is good. I mean,
25:56 Claude's got real
25:57 limits. I think Perplexity's Yeah,
26:00 Perplexity has a free version. A bunch
26:03 of these things have free versions. Po
26:04 has a free
26:06 version. Copilot is decent. Yeah, if
26:09 you've got access to Microsoft products,
26:12 it's based on chat GPT.
26:16 It feels like we've been waiting on GPT5
26:18 for forever. Yeah, I'm guessing it'll
26:20 probably be August. Cam.
26:24 [Music]
27:08 All All right, let's do
27:10 something. Let's do something. What are
27:12 we going to do? What are we going to
27:15 do? I can show you a thing that I just
27:19 made. It's a thing called
27:22 Mirage.app. I don't think I like
27:25 it. Watch out. The video promos will
27:28 come out soon starring young versions of
27:30 actors and stuff. AI
27:32 generated probably.
27:36 I no one's going to be knocking off
27:39 major actors and knocking off major
27:42 films right now that they'll just get
27:44 sued too quickly. Um there might be fan
27:47 art that comes out of that. I think
27:50 what's more likely is we're going to
27:52 start to
27:54 see you know you know how Okay, so you
27:57 got Hollywood blockbusters, right?
28:00 And then you have B films like Roger
28:02 Corman horror stuff. Um, you know, a lot
28:06 of the that that early Roger Corman
28:09 stuff, it was filmed on like Betamax,
28:11 you know, video video cassettes, right?
28:14 Um, and and they just, you know, it was
28:17 like, you know, they'd film it over a
28:18 weekend and it was, you know, they got
28:20 who whatever sort of out of work actors
28:22 they could to go up to Connecticut and
28:25 film a slasher flick in the woods for a
28:27 weekend, right?
28:29 um it just had a different aesthetic to
28:31 it. But like a lot of those slasher
28:34 flicks like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and
28:36 all those those really, you know, cut
28:39 rate horror films, they did really well
28:42 because they were a very particular
28:45 thing. I think that what you're going to
28:47 see is you're going to start to see
28:49 films
28:50 like that are just qualitatively
28:54 different than Hollywood stuff.
28:58 And and what you're going to see is
28:59 you're going to find people like Joy
29:01 Perie and and you know some different
29:03 folks within the salon that really like
29:05 doing the movie making thing. They're
29:07 going to start finding voice for
29:09 themselves and they're going to put out
29:10 films and the Hollywood establishment is
29:13 going to lampoon them and make fun of
29:17 them and diminish
29:20 them. And then all of a sudden at some
29:23 point the the iceberg's going to
29:26 flip and those people who are good at
29:29 doing this peculiar kind of AI that's
29:31 not quite
29:33 right. The technology is going to get
29:35 good and they're going to get better at
29:38 using these tools. And all of a sudden
29:40 you're going to start to see some films
29:42 come out that are incredible films. Not
29:46 incredible AI films, incredible films.
29:50 And people are going to get distribution
29:52 de deals and people are going to be
29:53 nominated for Oscars and just it just
29:56 watch just watch. We've seen this movie
29:59 before. It happens every [ __ ] time,
30:00 so it shouldn't be a mystery, but it
30:04 will. Um, there are fake photos of Billy
30:08 Eyish at the Met. She had to go on
30:09 social and say it wasn't her. I know.
30:12 You know what's funny, Gwen, is I I
30:13 think about that a lot where there's
30:15 going to be fakes of of celebrities
30:18 that, you know, are like, I gotta say,
30:21 that wasn't me. That's AI. But then
30:23 there's going to be celebrities that do
30:25 bad [ __ ] and get photographed and
30:27 they're going to be like, yeah, but that
30:28 wasn't me, that's AI. So, that one's
30:30 going to go both
30:34 ways. No, don't say that. Like with
30:36 silent movies and FX, there's a
30:39 continual evolution. and Oscars may go
30:41 away. I don't know what I was saying
30:43 that you said don't say that
30:44 to Sony's Digit Beta was an amazing
30:47 machine. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Billy
30:50 handled it
30:52 well.
30:54 Um, all right. Let's go look at this.
30:57 This is the the site I'm on is
31:00 uh mirage.app.
31:09 Look at here what we did together.
31:12 Look at here what we did together. It's
31:15 got a weird blue. Look at here. What we
31:16 did together. Why can I not make this
31:18 bigger?
31:20 Look at here.
31:22 Oh, cuz it's just an
31:25 audition. Oh, and then I see. And then
31:27 you generate
31:32 video. This is a very weird interface.
31:35 Yeah, this is this is all on on producer
31:38 Brandon.
31:42 Lookie here what we did together.
31:45 But that's that's synthesized audio from
31:47 the site and then it you know and it
31:49 generates uh avatars. So uh Mirage is
31:55 mir a
31:59 g.app. Lookucky here what we did
32:02 together. Look at here what we did
32:04 together.
32:10 There you
32:12 go. Okay, I'm gonna I'm I'm not going to
32:15 wait around for this because this is
32:16 it's a normal it's a normal uh
32:20 avatar thing, but they do give you 600
32:23 credits and it's I did a a little
32:26 audition credit and it was 42 credit 32
32:30 credits. So, I don't know. They probably
32:33 give you a couple of clips, but you can
32:35 at least go
32:37 play, but let's go. I want to do
32:39 something
32:41 here. All
32:43 right. Black bar. Hey,
32:49 Black.
32:54 Okay. So, I'm going to go here.
32:59 So this this
33:03 site is called
33:07 mymind.com and it's just a I just use
33:11 this as a thing where I I put tweets in
33:14 it that have interesting [ __ ] It's just
33:17 like one of it's like Pinterest. It's
33:18 like a personal Pinterest board.
33:21 But mostly what I'm doing is I'm I'm
33:23 capturing all these different styles
33:26 from Midjourney and and now the the
33:28 styles are are mixed up. Some are
33:30 midjourney, some are chat GPT because
33:32 chat GPT can now do cool
33:34 [ __ ] Um so it's kind of both, but I
33:37 just use it as as kind of an inspiration
33:39 board.
33:41 But so tonight,
33:44 um, Danny Kravitz was talking about, you
33:47 know, getting in this creative zone
33:48 where you you kind of free your mind of
33:52 negative self-t talk and comparing
33:55 yourself to others and just recognize
33:58 that no masterpiece started out as a
34:01 masterpiece. Everything started out as a
34:03 piece of [ __ ] and then just gradually
34:05 got better and better and better and
34:06 better, right? And even masterpieces
34:09 that we look at today, maybe when the
34:12 artist was still alive, they were still
34:13 considered pieces of [ __ ] right? Like
34:15 like the what is considered a
34:18 masterpiece is this
34:20 everchanging, you know, it's got to do
34:22 with society and and it's independent of
34:25 you as a creative.
34:28 So he's basically saying if you if you
34:30 compare yourself to whatever is the
34:31 pinnacle of your
34:33 art, you're you're discounting the fact
34:37 that there there was all this process
34:39 along the way. He said if you fall in
34:41 love with the process and start to rid
34:44 yourself of your negative, you know,
34:46 self-t talk and your your negative
34:48 imagery. And as he was talking about
34:50 that, he he asked, you know, everyone in
34:52 the audience at the salon tonight, you
34:54 know, what is something you say about
34:57 yourself or you say to yourself? What
34:58 are your negative self talk? What are
35:00 what are those thoughts? And then at one
35:02 point Leah the my co-host and the
35:05 co-founder of the salon she shared that
35:08 she took her negative uh you know
35:11 self-talk her her disempowering self-t
35:14 talk and she put it into midjourney and
35:17 generated images out of it. And so I
35:20 thought that might be fun tonight. So
35:21 I'm just going to pick kind of phrases
35:23 and words and things that I say to
35:26 myself when I'm when I need to put
35:29 myself down.
35:31 which is, you know, if you're a
35:33 creative, it's like a it's like a hobby,
35:36 you just find ways to put yourself down.
35:39 And so, what I thought might be fun is
35:41 we'll just come in here into my little
35:44 mood board. We'll pick a cool
35:46 style and then we'll go to midjourney
35:49 and put in some of these shitty words,
35:51 the shitty selft talk in that style and
35:54 we'll just keep [ __ ] around with it.
35:56 So, that's what I thought might be kind
35:58 of fun.
36:00 So, I kind of like this watercolor one
36:02 right
36:05 here. That one's kind of cool. I call
36:08 that Tuesday. Exactly.
36:11 Exactly. All right. So, let me go grab
36:14 this SREF. So, if you don't know what an
36:17 SREF is, it's a style
36:20 reference. And then we're going to we're
36:22 going to put these two sites next to
36:23 each other. So, here's
36:26 MidJourney. All right. So, here's some
36:28 [ __ ] I was doing earlier. I'm going to
36:29 turn on personaliz. Oh, no. Maybe I'll
36:32 turn it off. Okay. So, couple of
36:35 things. When you're in
36:38 midjourney, if you're using style
36:40 references, so style references dash
36:44 sref
36:46 sref space and then it's like some long
36:50 number. And they're all over Twitter, so
36:53 you can just go find them anywhere.
36:54 Here's what I've learned about them. If
36:56 you have your personalization turned on,
37:00 they likely won't look like what they
37:02 look like on
37:03 Twitter. Also, if you have your
37:06 stylization at zero, they won't work at
37:10 all. They like you'll This is one of the
37:13 things that took me the longest, not not
37:15 the longest to learn, but something that
37:17 frustrated me is I couldn't [ __ ]
37:19 crack the code of why do they work
37:21 sometimes and not others. You have to
37:24 have your stylization at at least 50.
37:26 So, and you can put it up to a thousand,
37:28 but if it's if it's at zero, it it often
37:31 just won't work. All right. So, one of
37:33 my big words is shame. I always talk
37:35 about shame is my love language. So, I'm
37:37 just going to use the prompt shame. And
37:39 then I'm going to put in that sref. And
37:41 we'll do we'll do 16 by9s. I just like
37:44 16 by9. They're pleasing to my eyes. And
37:47 we'll generate that. And then now we'll
37:51 go we'll go grab another sref. There was
37:54 one at the top here. I really dug this
37:57 one. Oh, but that's not an SRE. That's
38:00 just a chat GPT
38:03 prompt. That is
38:06 too. That is
38:09 too. Oh, this is cool. Here's a cool
38:15 one. Yeah, I like that style.
38:20 Copy. Go back over to Medjourney. Oh,
38:23 that's cool. And we'll do shame. And
38:26 we'll do this other
38:28 sref. And then you know what I'm going
38:30 to do? I'm going to do I'm going to do
38:33 dash r for repeat space 2. So it'll give
38:38 us two sets instead of one set.
38:42 [Music]
38:48 These are
38:52 cool. That looks like
38:58 shame. Very
39:03 cool. And then look at this one.
39:14 for those of you shame sufferers out
39:17 there. Feel
39:20 familiar? All right, let's go get
39:21 another
39:23 style. I mean, it it it's kind of cool,
39:25 isn't it? It kind of it turns your your
39:29 sort of pain and and fear
39:34 into into something you can look at
39:38 externally.
39:42 So,
39:43 shame paste.
39:47 Go. Go back
39:50 here. Here's a cool colorful
39:53 one. Oh, wait. What's this
39:56 one? Yeah, we're going to have to go
39:58 play in chat GBT, too, I think. Cuz not
40:01 all these are SE rest. Some of these are
40:02 just nice prompts for chat GBT.
40:11 Mm.
40:13 Shame.
40:16 Paste. Oh, you know what I want to do
40:18 now? Let's
40:20 see. Oh, these are
40:22 cool. Look at
40:28 this. AI can never be
40:32 creative.
40:34 Okay. Okay. No new no new novel
40:38 thoughts.
40:39 [Laughter]
40:41 Okay. I am not an artist. Oh, that's a
40:44 good one. All right. Oh, this is great.
40:47 Look at this one.
40:48 Beautiful.
40:50 Shame. So, mine wouldn't be I'm not an
40:53 artist. Mine would be
41:00 um mine would be
41:06 um I'm not really an
41:19 artist. Let's go get some more styles.
41:23 The nice thing about doing these styles
41:25 like this, by the way,
41:27 is now they're all saved in Midjourney.
41:30 So you can just scroll back through your
41:32 images and if you like something
41:33 visually, you can just click on the
41:34 style and it'll throw it into the
41:36 prompt. So, for every one of these we
41:44 do, for every one of these that we do,
41:47 it's creating a little bank of things
41:49 you can just go modify within
41:56 midjourney. Oh, this could be a cool
41:58 one. Let's do this one. Oh, this is a
42:01 double sref. Oh, this is an S sref a
42:04 profile. Oh, there's a whole bunch of
42:07 [ __ ] here. Okay, we'll we'll take it
42:09 all. Fine. Um, let's go to midjourney
42:12 and let's
42:14 do I'm not really an artist. And then
42:17 we'll do all that [ __ ] that was on that
42:19 one. Boom. And then we'll do I'm not
42:22 really an art.
42:25 Uhoh. Oh, personalization was not
42:27 compatible
42:29 with V7. Oh, V6. So, we Oh, I've only
42:34 been in V6.
42:36 0.1. I should flip over to I should go
42:38 back and do these all again in
42:41 [Music]
42:44 seven. All
42:48 right. So, I'm not really an artist.
42:51 Sref
42:54 go. Shame. Sreff
42:59 go. Shame. Sreff go. So, we'll see how
43:04 different these look in version seven.
43:07 Tik Tok pin.
43:10 Okay. Watching you do this, I got an
43:13 idea of what I can make with this.
43:15 Beautiful.
43:18 So, this is part of the point
43:23 where where Danny was going tonight
43:30 was there's no real moment
43:35 of of good or bad in the creative
43:40 process. It's just another step in the
43:44 process.
43:45 And so like if I make these things I'm
43:47 like, "Oh, well they didn't look like
43:48 what they looked like on the thing and
43:50 I'm now I'm a
43:52 failure," you kind of break the flow. So
43:54 if you can just put yourself into every
43:57 step is another it's just another step.
44:00 And at some point that may turn into
44:02 something and it very likely will not.
44:06 But if you can if you can live in that
44:08 kind of pure space of just take action,
44:11 take action, take action. if you're
44:14 [ __ ] on yourself. In fact, let's
44:16 write um why
44:20 am why why am I such a piece of
44:28 [ __ ] That's my
44:30 prompt. Let's go find some [ __ ]
44:34 dark nasty [ __ ]
44:38 [Music]
44:40 style. That one's kind of cool.
44:47 here. This one's
44:50 great. All
44:52 right.
44:54 Sref.
44:57 Boom. See if this is the
45:05 right. I think it's going.
45:13 All right. So, this one's shame. This is
45:15 This is the one. This was uh model
45:21 6.1. This is 6.1. Oh, this is this is
45:24 I'm not really an
45:27 artist. Is bro cooking? I don't know.
45:29 You tell me if I'm cooking. I'll tell
45:31 you what I am doing.
45:34 I'm I'm just vibing. I'm just in the
45:37 flow.
45:45 That's I'm not really an artist. Love
45:47 that. I love that it's a bird flying
45:50 away. I'm not really an
45:57 artist. All right, that one failed. So,
46:01 this is I'm not really an artist with
46:03 that sort of crazy style.
46:07 These are great. I'm not really an
46:11 artist. That was awesome. Look at that
46:13 [ __ ]
46:16 thing. I love the boat. I know. Wasn't
46:18 the boat
46:20 cool. Limiting beliefs as prompts in
46:23 midjourney right now. Yeah, that's what
46:24 we're doing. Great images. So, so play
46:27 along with
46:29 me. Play along with me.
46:32 Just think of a limiting belief of yours
46:34 and go into midjourney. And if you want,
46:37 go over to X and just look up SREF,
46:40 SREF, and just find some style that you
46:43 like. Come back to
46:45 MidJourney. And if you don't have
46:47 MidJourney, you can do this in chat GPT.
46:50 In fact, let's let's go to chat GPT and
46:53 do some of these things as well.
46:57 So, I'll show you a cool way to
46:59 do I'll show you a cool way to do
47:03 um image stuff in chat GPT. So, I can
47:07 come over to my my mind thing,
47:10 right? And let's say I like this this
47:13 style right here. I'm just going to I'm
47:16 just going to screenshot these four
47:18 images that are part of this Twitter
47:20 post.
47:32 What was my prompt? Why am I such a
47:34 piece of [ __ ] Is that what it
47:38 was? Why am I such a piece of [ __ ]
47:40 Okay, so now we're going to go to chat
47:41 GPT. I'm going to paste in that image
47:44 and then I'm going to say
47:47 um
47:49 imagine failed to upload. Please ensure
47:51 your network
47:52 connection. Come
47:56 on.
47:59 Imagine this.
48:05 Why am I such a piece of [ __ ]
48:13 as as an
48:18 image in this
48:21 style? Go Tik Tok
48:24 pin. Yes, please give an SREF for chat
48:28 GPT because it does understand
48:31 them.
48:34 really does
48:39 it. All right, let's go try
48:43 that. You sure? I don't buy
48:47 it. So, we'll go to chat
48:55 GPT. Let's pause for a second. No, no. I
48:59 want you to make
49:03 me that
49:06 image. It's trying to It's It's trying
49:09 to caretake
49:11 [Laughter]
49:14 me. It does understand srefs. All right,
49:19 cool. Oh, look. This is Why am I such a
49:22 piece of
49:27 [ __ ] I think that one's
49:33 great. And then what do we got? Here's
49:36 Shame. This is with version seven, not
49:40 6.1 with one of those previous things.
49:42 That That's
49:44 [ __ ] You tell me that's not a You
49:47 tell me that's not a still from an
49:50 animated short that gets nominated for
49:52 an Oscar.
49:55 In
49:56 fact, watch this. We're going to go
49:59 upscale, subtle, and
50:14 creative. We're going to go to
50:18 Hedra. Not Hedra, Cartisia.
50:25 Do I want to go there or do I want to go
50:27 to 11
50:31 Labs? Um, I think I want to go to 11
50:45 Labs and go to voice
50:51 changer. We're going to go
50:57 find Let's go find a voice first. Hang
51:00 on.
51:02 Um
51:04 voices. My voices.
51:09 I just
51:31 All right, we like her. Do I have her?
51:34 Is she added?
51:39 Jazelle Marie. All
51:41 right, so we're going to go voice
51:43 changer. We're going to record audio.
51:45 Let's go get
51:51 Jazelle. We're going to record audio.
51:53 What am I going to say?
52:06 It's not Oh, yeah.
52:24 I know who I am. It's not them I'm
52:28 afraid of. It's
52:32 me. All right. And we're going to
52:34 generate speech. So, I'm going to change
52:36 out my shitty ass
52:44 voice.
52:46 Perfect. Download. All right. So, now we
52:48 got acting. Now we got a voice. Now
52:52 we're going to go to
52:57 Hedra. Oh, you couldn't hear that
52:59 probably, could you? Well, it'll be your
53:01 surprise when I actually share my
53:02 screen, right? Um, impostor
53:07 syndrome. All
53:09 right. So, now let me go back to
53:12 midjourney. Let's get let's get our
53:14 image. Let's see which one we like. Here
53:16 we upscaled these. That one's pretty
53:19 good. I think that one's better. See,
53:21 that one's a little too smooth. That
53:23 one's got more texture. I like it. I
53:25 like that better. All right. So, there's
53:27 our image. Download. So, now we go to
53:30 Hedra and we upload that
53:34 frame. Champ, stop licking your feet.
53:38 It's I I've got dysphonia or whatever
53:41 the [ __ ] it is that when you lick your
53:42 feet, do Champ, I I want to I want to do
53:47 bad things to your ears.
53:49 Don't eat your feet. Stop wagging your
53:51 tail. Don't be cute. You're sitting over
53:54 there eating your feet like a [ __ ]
53:56 popsicle and now you're wagging your
53:58 tail trying to get me to not be cranky
54:00 about
54:02 it. All right, in comes the
54:07 image and then in comes the audio.
54:10 Right, we just made the
54:16 audio and then we're gonna
54:19 say woman
54:21 looks into the
54:26 camera shaking as she
54:30 talks. All right. Boom. Now we're making
54:34 a movie.
54:36 So, what's this been? half an hour
54:39 because I've been ye yber
54:42 yabbering jibber
54:45 jabbering. But what this started out as
54:48 was an exercise just to
54:51 get shitty thinking out of my head and
54:54 just out in the
54:56 world. And then all of a sudden we made
54:59 this image that looks like well that's
55:02 maybe a story worth
55:04 telling. I love this style actually.
55:12 Like that's really
55:14 good. We can say very that strong. Get a
55:17 bunch more of
55:26 those. And now this is going to turn
55:28 into a cool little video clip.
55:37 [Music]
55:44 Dysphobia. No, it's
55:47 dysphonia. It's not fear of that sound.
55:51 It's hating that
56:00 sound. Can someone tell me how to search
56:02 for srefs on X? Yes. Oh, look. We got a
56:06 video, but I'll go I'll I'll change my
56:08 tabs. So, when you go to X, just go to
56:12 X and go to search. And you can just
56:15 type in SRF
56:17 s or if you want to get fancy, you can
56:20 type in dash dash
56:22 sref
56:25 search. And then as you scroll
56:28 down, you'll just see lots of them.
56:36 And then when you see one you like, and
56:38 here's an SRF
56:41 community. And when you see one you
56:43 like, you just copy
56:46 it and put it in there. It's It's quite
56:49 a
56:51 remarkable quite a remarkable
56:53 thing. Oh, it's funny. It's finding a
56:56 lot of these are
56:57 mine because I post a lot of these. Um,
57:00 all right.
57:03 Let me change my tab so you can see what
57:05 I'm about to
57:16 show.
57:18 Hedra go. All right. All right. Here we
57:22 are,
57:23 people. Fantastic. I know who I am.
57:29 Uh, it's not them.
57:34 I know who I am. It's not them I'm
57:38 afraid of. It's
57:42 me, right? And then you go to Suno and
57:47 you make a cool [ __ ] creepy song in
57:49 the
57:53 background. So, let's go back to let's
57:55 go back to here.
58:02 Let's
58:03 go. We're going to drag this image up
58:06 here. We're going to use this as a
58:09 style. Do I want a style reference? No,
58:11 we use this as an image
58:15 reference. Am I sharing this? Yes. I got
58:19 to do my black bar
58:20 though. We're going use this as a image
58:23 reference. And then in and then we're
58:25 going to use the same
58:30 sref same
58:34 sref. And then we're going to go
58:38 um
58:41 worthless and I'm going to go
58:45 d-r four. We'll do four sets of
58:51 worthless. Hey tabs. What about tabs?
58:55 Oh, I'm still sharing the other one. Got
58:57 it. I I knew
58:59 that. I don't really need a producer
59:02 because I know these things because I'm
59:04 very smart. I'm I'm I'm what I'm what
59:08 many would call an
59:10 intellectual, right? Very
59:13 academic. I mean, this is the AI
59:16 learning lab. You can't just call it a
59:18 lab. You can't just make that up, right?
59:22 You have to have
59:25 credentials. So, here I
59:27 am, right? You understand? Does it make
59:30 sense? I think so. I think it
59:34 does. I mean, you got the black bar the
59:37 first time. Shut
59:39 up. Uh, see, it kept the word shame in
59:42 there. Um, let's
59:44 see. Let's do worthless. Let's put
59:48 worthless in quotes and see what that
59:57 does. These are
1:00:01 crazy. Let's do this as a Let's just do
1:00:03 it as an SREF. All
1:00:06 right. Let's just do
1:00:09 SREF
1:00:10 worthless. All
1:00:14 right. And then we'll do dash dash
1:00:20 R4 lettering is on point. I know
1:00:23 right. Someone say Savant not
1:00:27 intellectual Tom Nodler. See the my
1:00:30 favorite trolls my favorite trolls are
1:00:34 the ones that initially land like a
1:00:38 compliment. He called me a savant.
1:00:44 [Laughter]
1:00:46 [Music]
1:00:48 It's so good. It's so
1:00:50 [Laughter]
1:00:53 good. Now I want to make a movie of the
1:00:55 shame monster.
1:00:58 Exactly.
1:01:00 Exactly. Why not? Why the [ __ ]
1:01:11 not? I need credentials. We all need
1:01:16 credentials. Okay, I need that dash
1:01:18 dash. Thanks y'all. Oh, maybe it needs
1:01:21 the dash dash. X is an S sref garden. It
1:01:24 really
1:01:27 is. Play leads to productivity. Yeah,
1:01:29 that that was one of the things that he
1:01:31 said tonight,
1:01:33 too. I wonder why these are not having
1:01:36 Oh, you know. Oh, because my preref my
1:01:39 personalization was on. Let me try this
1:01:41 again.
1:01:43 without personalization on
1:01:47 um
1:01:51 d-r4 because it'd be nice if we got
1:01:53 something back in the style of the thing
1:01:55 I just made the video of.
1:02:19 [Laughter]
1:02:22 Wow, we never got that style again.
1:02:24 That's a shame. Oh, I know how we could
1:02:27 get that style
1:02:29 again. You just you just stick with me.
1:02:31 I Because I don't know if you know this,
1:02:34 but I have qualifications. I am a
1:02:36 professional. All right. So, we're going
1:02:38 to copy the image. Oh, look. Why am I
1:02:42 such a piece of [ __ ] The
1:02:48 movie. Thank you for the
1:02:51 hat. This is really good. Why am I such
1:02:54 a piece of
1:02:59 [ __ ] That's pretty solid. I like it.
1:03:02 All right. Good. Okay. So, now here's
1:03:05 what we're going to do. We're going to
1:03:06 paste the shame image in here. And I'm
1:03:09 going to say I want a
1:03:14 different
1:03:16 young defendant young
1:03:21 character.
1:03:28 Also
1:03:29 also holding up a piece of paper.
1:03:38 in the same
1:03:42 style, but his
1:03:46 word is
1:03:52 worthless. So, this should give us the
1:03:55 that similar sort of blurred out, cool,
1:03:58 groovy, whatever. We'll see.
1:04:04 And again, I'm just loving this idea
1:04:06 that that Danny put out there
1:04:12 of the gap between a masterpiece and
1:04:15 something that you would say is
1:04:16 laughably bad is actually quite
1:04:20 small, which I love, right? I mean,
1:04:24 sometimes you go to like the Met or you
1:04:26 go to you go to, you know, the
1:04:28 Metropolitan Museum of Art, you know,
1:04:30 the the modern art stuff and you look at
1:04:34 it and you're like, "Yeah, is it art?"
1:04:37 And then you realize it sold for $55
1:04:40 million. Like the gap between that and
1:04:44 the thing you saw at the Goodwill, it's
1:04:46 not so
1:04:49 big. So, so don't judge it. Just do just
1:04:53 just be in the flow. Just just be
1:04:55 putting lines on the page. Just be
1:04:58 putting words on the page. Just be
1:04:59 putting prompts. Feed the
1:05:02 prompt. Feed the prompt. This is a
1:05:05 new thing I'm exploring right
1:05:09 now. That what you feed the prompt with
1:05:11 is
1:05:14 you. You're not prompting the AI. You're
1:05:17 taking your ideas and and feeding the
1:05:20 prompt.
1:05:34 Good.
1:05:41 Right now make
1:05:43 one
1:05:47 with an index card.
1:05:51 on the other
1:05:53 side and
1:05:55 it's an older
1:05:59 Asian
1:06:03 woman and her
1:06:05 [Music]
1:06:06 word
1:06:10 is invisible.
1:06:19 [Music]
1:06:23 YouTube
1:06:26 comment. Someone somewhere got a taste
1:06:29 for whatever you put out. SRFs don't
1:06:31 work for me in chat GPT. Let me know if
1:06:33 your experience is different. I just
1:06:35 wanted to pop in and say hello. I sleep
1:06:37 20 hours a day. Phew. Medications making
1:06:40 me see things. Hey Becky. Well, don't
1:06:44 we're making weird images here today, so
1:06:45 you're probably going to see some some
1:06:47 weird [ __ ] I hope you're feeling
1:06:48 better. Um, I know you're going through
1:06:51 it right now. I hope you I hope you're
1:06:53 you're you're on the mend. Um, enjoy the
1:06:56 enjoy the uh the
1:06:58 pharmaceuticals while you're on them.
1:07:01 Uh, but if you're seeing stuff, that's
1:07:02 not fun. Um, but yeah, welcome, welcome,
1:07:07 welcome,
1:07:09 welcome. All right, let's see. Let's
1:07:12 see. Did this give us an Asian
1:07:14 woman? Uh, maybe. kind of looks like a
1:07:18 white man's head, but maybe
1:07:34 not chatbt is so
1:07:37 dark. See how it's dark and yellow? Like
1:07:41 all of these need to be put into
1:07:42 Photoshop.
1:07:46 I could just do it over in this thing.
1:07:48 Watch. Watch
1:07:49 this. Copy. Go over
1:07:53 here.
1:07:55 New. Take that dark thing. Expose it
1:07:59 up.
1:08:02 Um, wait. I can go
1:08:05 white. There you
1:08:13 go. Bring my shadows up a little bit.
1:08:17 contrast
1:08:21 up and saturation. Look at that. That's
1:08:25 like That's good. There you go.
1:08:28 See, not
1:08:30 bad. You can fix all that
1:08:43 [ __ ] Wild. Wild. Wild, wild, wild,
1:08:46 wild, wild, wild, wild. All right, let's
1:08:49 go make some more. Let's go find some
1:08:51 Let's go find some new words. Hey,
1:08:52 someone shout out uh G, give me a
1:08:54 limiting give me one of your limiting
1:08:57 beliefs. Does nobody use curves anymore?
1:09:00 Ah, curves required me to learn
1:09:02 something. I use them occasionally, but
1:09:04 I'm just like, eh, feels
1:09:09 exhausting. But that that was just I was
1:09:11 just in preview. It didn't have curves.
1:09:14 No, it doesn't have curves. Oh, yeah, it
1:09:16 does. I guess up
1:09:19 here. Yeah, I could have done that.
1:09:22 Sure, I could have done
1:09:31 that. It's just point and click.
1:09:34 Frustration. All right,
1:09:37 frustration.
1:09:39 Frustration. All right, back to my mind.
1:09:42 Let's go find a cool
1:09:45 style. That's a dark one. It looks too
1:09:49 gothic. Let's see. Let's find something
1:09:53 worthy of frustration. This one's pretty
1:09:58 good. Oh, this one could be good, too.
1:10:02 Let's do both of these. Okay, we're
1:10:03 going to do two. We're going to do this
1:10:06 one. So this is chaos
1:10:09 10 style raw sref whatever. Okay.
1:10:15 Copy. And then we're going to go to
1:10:17 midjourney. We're going to go
1:10:18 frustration. We're going to go. We're
1:10:20 going to go n. We're not going to do
1:10:22 aspect ratio of
1:10:25 that. And we're going to
1:10:27 do
1:10:36 d-r
1:10:38 question. What the heck was that image
1:10:40 editor? That image editor is just
1:10:42 preview on the
1:10:43 Mac. You just go to tools, adjust image,
1:10:47 and it gives you that little mini
1:10:48 Photoshop panel. And Murphy's in the
1:10:51 house. Listen, for all of you out there,
1:10:53 tomorrow we have a we have a uh Ann
1:10:56 Murphy and I I don't know if you know
1:10:57 this, we do this thing called the AI
1:10:59 readiness project. You know
1:11:02 why? Because we're hoping that one of us
1:11:05 is ready for AI at some point. See, the
1:11:08 problem is neither of us
1:11:10 are. So, so we started a podcast in the
1:11:13 off chance that at some point in the
1:11:15 future one of us shows up ready for AI.
1:11:18 And so we did this podcast. So, tomorrow
1:11:21 we got this guy on named CJ Fletcher,
1:11:23 artist, baller. He He's amazing. He
1:11:27 does he
1:11:29 he prompts in a way I will never in my
1:11:32 life be able to. And I know we're doing
1:11:33 this creative thing. You're not supposed
1:11:34 to compare yourself, but holy [ __ ] does
1:11:37 he prompt in this remarkably meticulous
1:11:40 way. It's amazing.
1:11:42 Um, all right, Silver Fox. These are
1:11:45 frustrations. These are good. This was a
1:11:47 good call. That Sreff's a good call.
1:11:51 That one's That one's
1:11:54 nuts. Look at
1:11:57 that. Oh, okay. Upscale, subtle, and
1:12:02 creative. We're going to turn that into
1:12:03 a video, too. Let's see. We'll see how
1:12:05 Hedra deals with something that
1:12:06 abstract. Oh, that one's good,
1:12:09 too. I think we could just use that one
1:12:11 as is, but we'll upscale them anyway.
1:12:14 Love that. Love that. Damn, that's good.
1:12:20 out of this
1:12:24 world. Upscale. Upscale. All right,
1:12:27 let's go get that other style because
1:12:28 that that style was a [ __ ]
1:12:31 winner. So, let's get the other style
1:12:33 that was right next to it. This
1:12:36 one. Oh, this has also got chaos and
1:12:39 weird [ __ ] to
1:12:41 it. All right, fine. Let's Let's follow
1:12:46 your lead, Mr. What was it? Frustration.
1:12:50 Frustration. Boom. We're not going to do
1:12:52 a 2x3 aspect ratio, but all the other
1:12:54 [ __ ] we're going to keep the
1:12:57 same. All right. And then we're going to
1:13:01 go
1:13:09 d-r Danielle images in irregulars. In
1:13:14 irregulars. Hey, irregulars.
1:13:17 What are you doing? What are you doing
1:13:19 today,
1:13:21 irregulars? Here's my limiting belief.
1:13:24 If it comes easily, I don't deserve it.
1:13:26 I think that one's a huge one, Kelly.
1:13:30 That That's one that I
1:13:32 think this is one of those AI things.
1:13:36 When people say they're guilty about AI,
1:13:38 I think this is the limiting belief. Is
1:13:40 that Danielle? No, that's Kelly
1:13:43 Camp. Here's Danielle's. Oh, this is a
1:13:45 good one.
1:13:47 Vibrant and textured handstyle. Sreff.
1:13:51 What was the word here, Danielle? This
1:13:53 is
1:13:55 good. The [ __ ] lightning bolt in the
1:14:02 eye. Oh,
1:14:04 nice. Midjourney. Not being creative.
1:14:07 Look at that. Not being creative. God
1:14:11 damn, that's such a good image. Not
1:14:13 being creative. the [ __ ] torture,
1:14:20 right? There's something really
1:14:22 cathartic about this
1:14:25 exercise. So, you can thank Danny
1:14:28 Kravitz and you can thank Leah Faston
1:14:30 for sort of merging these two ideas
1:14:33 together, which is also another reason
1:14:36 why you need to be in community. So, you
1:14:37 should join the AI salon, which Brandon,
1:14:40 if you'll pop the AI salon address up
1:14:42 there. Go to this web
1:14:47 address
1:14:49 and click on join our community. And
1:14:52 then you go in there and introduce
1:14:54 yourself and connect
1:14:56 yourself and um sign up for the AI salon
1:15:00 mastermind if you want, which is which
1:15:02 is a kind of more exclusive uh higher
1:15:05 level within the salon. The salon's
1:15:07 free, but just go in there and hang out
1:15:10 with people because being around other
1:15:12 people that are up to
1:15:14 stuff is how you end up discovering
1:15:17 things you never thought possible. Wow,
1:15:19 look at these. This is
1:15:29 frustration. That's a good
1:15:31 one. Huh? Drop link. Mine must not work
1:15:35 anymore. Don't know which
1:15:41 [Music]
1:15:44 link. That's a good
1:15:49 one. All
1:15:51 right. So, let's see. Oh, that
1:15:55 has Okay, that one's good. Let's grab
1:15:58 that one. So, we're going to download
1:16:00 this one.
1:16:19 Uh, let's download this one.
1:16:33 [Music]
1:16:37 Ah, okay.
1:17:05 All right, we're going to grab Adam
1:17:11 Stone and then this. So, this is
1:17:14 frustration. The image was frustration,
1:17:23 right? All right. What are we gonna
1:17:27 put? Anna's backstage. Okay, hang on.
1:17:30 Tell Ann she's got to wait for a second.
1:17:32 I'm acting here. This is I'm I'm I'm a
1:17:36 thespian. I'm I'm preparing. This is
1:17:39 method acting. Okay. Got to calm
1:17:43 down. Let's see.
1:17:46 [Music]
1:17:53 Um, night after night she insists on
1:17:57 coming up on stage. I can't take
1:18:02 it. All right, I think we got something
1:18:06 here. I think this is solid.
1:18:15 Yeah, I like it. It's solid. Where is
1:18:18 she?
1:18:23 Hi, Ann.
1:18:26 Hey. What's happening?
1:18:29 You better tell the nice people that I
1:18:31 never asked to come talk to you and that
1:18:34 like at least onethird of the 10 or five
1:18:38 times I've come up here have been at
1:18:40 your request.
1:18:42 Hey Ann was shaking.
1:18:46 I tried to find a pink bow. Couldn't
1:18:49 find it. But I did I got one for Yeah,
1:18:52 for the nice people I did wear my pink
1:18:54 robe. It's very nice. It's very lovely.
1:18:59 So, are you ready? Are you ready for AI
1:19:02 yet? Because I I am not. No. And I am I
1:19:06 have been
1:19:07 like self-talking myself
1:19:10 so much about not getting overwhelmed by
1:19:15 not knowing what's going on. Yeah, I
1:19:17 know. I mean, I had been on like a like
1:19:20 a mantra
1:19:22 because it's Can you believe we thought
1:19:25 it was moving fast before? Yeah, it's
1:19:28 it's what's weird about it is I think I
1:19:32 think the speed is the same. Like we're
1:19:34 we're seeing sort of launch launches on
1:19:36 a similar cadence, but what's being
1:19:38 launched is way more sophisticated.
1:19:41 Exactly. Right. And so like it used to
1:19:44 be a thing would launch and within about
1:19:46 an hour you could have your head around
1:19:48 all of what it was. Are did someone just
1:19:51 cut the power off in your house?
1:19:55 You don't have to go home, but you can't
1:19:57 stay here, lady. Exactly. Yeah. So it is
1:20:01 it's completely overwhelming. It's just
1:20:04 nuts. All right. I'm gonna while we're
1:20:06 talking, I'm gonna be making a video
1:20:08 here. Um so so tomorrow CJ Fletcher I'm
1:20:12 really excited about that. Me too. I I
1:20:15 need to look back at um the transcript
1:20:18 from his workshop
1:20:21 because he said something
1:20:24 that really stuck with me and I want to
1:20:28 ask him about it tomorrow. But I got to
1:20:30 I got to get I'm sure it's in some of
1:20:33 our files. I want to look back at it.
1:20:35 He's such an interesting human being. He
1:20:38 is not your average bear. He's not. You
1:20:42 know it. Night after night. Oh,
1:20:47 night after night, she insists on coming
1:20:51 up on stage. I can't take it. Is that
1:20:55 going to be a baby saying it? No, it's
1:20:59 it's a it's a very disturbed man that I
1:21:03 don't I don't think this is gonna
1:21:04 actually go very well. A I want it to go
1:21:07 well. Sounds wonderful so far. Talks
1:21:09 with his head in his hands. Oh, no. It
1:21:14 there's I like one of the big themes of
1:21:18 tonight at the salon that Danny Kravitz
1:21:20 brought up and that I'm kind of I missed
1:21:22 it. Yeah, it was really good tonight.
1:21:25 And and one of the one of the things
1:21:27 that that he brought up and that I've
1:21:29 been feeling is just like it everything
1:21:32 is
1:21:33 about everything's about the idea. None
1:21:36 of it's about the tools. Like the tools
1:21:38 don't [ __ ] matter. They don't because
1:21:41 I I mean you need to understand that
1:21:43 they're there, right? If you understand
1:21:46 but you could understand that like two
1:21:48 or three of them are there. You don't
1:21:49 need the two or 30 hundred and then it's
1:21:52 all about your ideas and what do you
1:21:53 want to put in the world and what do you
1:21:54 want to do. Absolutely. Absolutely.
1:21:58 Yeah. Yeah. and and you know as these
1:22:01 tools and I've been watching you do it
1:22:04 like I believe more and more in the
1:22:08 power of use cases versus pretty much
1:22:10 any other way in you know it's just
1:22:13 because you're doing a use case and
1:22:16 you're boppinging around and getting all
1:22:20 the practical learnings that you need,
1:22:23 right? You don't have to ever even like
1:22:26 quote unquote finish something, you
1:22:28 know? Well, that's that's part of the
1:22:30 joy of this format is that I don't God.
1:22:33 Yeah. Yeah. Because when you have to
1:22:35 finish something, then it gets awful.
1:22:37 No. Right. Now you Now now it's no
1:22:41 longer fun at all. It is. It's no longer
1:22:44 fun. Yeah. This is this is pure add
1:22:47 heaven here, right? I just get to start
1:22:50 infinite number of product projects. Oh,
1:22:52 by the way, um, uh, what about vibe
1:22:58 coding something that like works for the
1:23:03 ADHD brain and pulls your conversations
1:23:06 together from different LLMs and
1:23:08 whatnot?
1:23:10 Yeah, I was thinking about that the
1:23:11 other night because it's it's
1:23:13 frustrating that that like chatbt is
1:23:16 going to corner the market on people
1:23:18 using it because it it remembers all
1:23:20 your conversations and people aren't
1:23:21 going to want to switch. So, it'd be
1:23:23 nice to be able to switch and have that
1:23:24 stuff maintained somehow. Yeah. Yeah.
1:23:27 Completely. Yeah.
1:23:31 All right. Well, so tomorrow um our AI
1:23:34 readiness project is uh 400 PM Mountain

1:25:55 That's kind of a wild effect. Night
1:25:58 after night, she insists on coming up on
1:26:02 stage. I can't take it.
1:26:06 It makes it look it transitioned from a
1:26:10 painting to like some dude behind shower
1:26:13 [Laughter]
1:26:17 glass. But you know, they're not
1:26:22 bad. Where's this one? Why' we lose
1:26:26 this? Why that not
1:26:31 playing? Is this library?
1:26:34 There it is. I know who I am. It's not
1:26:39 them I'm afraid of. It's me.
1:26:45 Night after night, she insists on coming
1:26:49 up on stage. I can't take it.
1:26:54 All right,
1:26:56 everyone. That's it. That's all you get
1:26:58 for tonight. We did art. We did uh we
1:27:02 did a little therapy.
1:27:04 It's good.
1:27:13 Solid. All right. Um, okay. I'm getting
1:27:16 out of here. My eyes are crispy. I
1:27:18 didn't even I've got water here. Uh, but
1:27:20 I didn't drink
1:27:24 it. So, let's see. Tomorrow, come to the
1:27:27 AI readiness project. That's at 4. And
1:27:30 then we'll be back here tomorrow night
1:27:32 at 8. All right. We'll be back normal
1:27:33 time, normal place. Everything's going
1:27:36 to be good. It's going to be exciting.
1:27:37 It's gonna be fantastic. You're going to
1:27:39 love it. We have so much
1:27:41 planned. Oh, also life hacks and
1:27:44 education. So, in the AI salon, join the
1:27:48 AI mastermind and you can get into the
1:27:51 clubs and hubs areas. Okay. What you'll
1:27:54 notice when you're in the AI salon is
1:27:55 that there's a bunch of spaces that now
1:27:57 have a little crown by them. Those are
1:27:59 part of the mastermind. So, th those are
1:28:00 the mastermind spaces. So join that. The
1:28:03 whole idea is that we create a more
1:28:05 focused, more intense salon. So join
1:28:08 that and it'll be fantastic. Life hacks
1:28:12 rocks. All right, beautiful everybody.
1:28:15 Um, hope you had fun tonight. Peace out.
1:28:18 Um, those limiting beliefs rather than
1:28:21 believe them, turn them into midjourney
1:28:24 images. [ __ ] them. [ __ ] those limiting
1:28:27 beliefs. Turn them into content. All
1:28:29 right? And put the content out in the
1:28:31 world. Say, "Yeah, I'm full of shame.
1:28:32 Here's what it looks
1:28:34 like." Why not? [ __ ] it. All right. Hope
1:28:37 you had fun tonight. Peace out.
