1. 0:00You ready? Sit. Sit. U sit. [Music] [Applause]
2. 0:16[Music] [Applause]
3. 0:32[Music] What's going on? Why you so ramy? Why
4. 0:49you so ramy champ? Happy Friday night date night everybody. What's going down? What's shaking? What's happening? What's
5. 0:57happening in them near their parts? [Music]
6. 1:14[Applause] Woohoo! [Music] Woohoo! [Music]
7. 1:34[Applause] [Applause] [Music]
8. 1:57[Applause] Can a westerly direction. This car is my train.
9. 2:13I've been driving. I've been wondering what it is I'm running from again. Feel like an idiot old man holding on to 29.
10. 2:30And up ahead on that horizon is California land. [Music]
11. 2:45You done singing, champion. That's it. Up ahead, a truck scaring a wide load. Pre house cut in half. Cute little front door and two windows.
12. 2:59My love, make sure that a cry I should laugh. [Music] See, I broke a home up myself once. As I stumbled to that door,
13. 3:13I read a note by the dawn of the light said, "Don't you come around here anymore." [Music] Well, I've had enough
14. 3:29of this freedom. Never was good with decision. [Applause] At least that's what I've been told. [Music]
15. 3:51Woohoo! Woo! [Music]
16. 4:39Oh man. All right, let's keep going. Let's keep going here. going. What going? What happening? What happening, people?
17. 4:49What is shaking? What's going down? Happy Friday night, date night. Um, what do you want to talk about tonight?
18. 5:01What's on the agenda tonight? I do not know. I uh I often have a plan. I more often than not have a plan that
19. 5:15came to me 30 minutes before the show. Tonight, I got nothing. I got nothing. So, why don't we do what you want to do? We can go look at I
20. 5:27figure one thing we could do is we go not look at Notebook LM. Are you a developer or more of an advocate for AI?
21. 5:34Well, I'm not. Well, I don't know. I am a uh I'm a CEO of a tech company. So I'm a developer in the sense that I have
22. 5:42technology that I've built and run that company for almost 14 years. Um I've been doing this channel for uh going on
23. 5:52three years now. Three years. Yeah. Um, I started this this channel the week after ChatGBT launched and I so
24. 6:06a little bit about my background. I was there for the early days of the worldwide web. I started one of the first digital agencies in 1994
25. 6:14company called agency.com and we ended up building a lot of the websites for the Fortune 500. So I have been through one of these
26. 6:23tech's going to change everything in the world cycles before and so when chat GPT came out I'm like ah this does for AI
27. 6:32and machine learning what the worldwide web did for the internet which is basically democratizes it. So what this
28. 6:37channel is about is not about building AI systems. It's not about weights and embeddings and mathematics. It is about
29. 6:47now that these tools are available to the 98.5% of us that are not engineers, what do we do with it? What's the impact? What's
30. 6:56the future of work look like? Um how do you keep up with it? What do you do? Right? If if this is truly going to
31. 7:07disrupt everything and and give us all non-employment, what's the next job look like? And what are the skills required
32. 7:15to to be one of the ones that survives the the rounds of of cut offs or layoffs? I don't know. Reg to cover Netscape.
33. 7:31Oh man. Side hustle Mimi. It's about [ __ ] around and find out. But AI, but with AI, that's a pretty good one.
34. 7:38That's it. I mean, this channel is about just playing. It's about being in the conversation. It's about some new thing
35. 7:45comes out. Let's go look at it. Let's go kick the tires of it. Let's figure out where the boundaries of this AI game
36. 7:51are. And what are we going to do? What are we going to do with it? Um, it's about understanding the the the nuances between
37. 8:07someone can output something with AI easily and excellent work. And those are not the same thing. And how do you get to excellent work when
38. 8:17you have tools that can spit out [ __ ] that looks like excellent work but likely isn't? Um, and that takes some that takes some
39. 8:27guidance. That takes some skill. That takes some ambition. Takes a strong point of view. Uh, Um,
40. 8:42remember when you had to build different websites for different browsers? I do. I I I'll tell you, I I remember
41. 8:51the the first Netscape browser would not it would center text, but it wouldn't center images. So, we actually built a a
42. 8:59whole series of invisible single pixel high images to scooch text to the center of the page. That's how early I was
43. 9:08there. The center tag didn't work. Oh man. All right. I say we go back to
44. 9:24links. We could watch an AI short. Wasn't there some Oh, the uh what was it? The runway
45. 9:40the runway contest. Are all those are all those videos out? Go look at that. That might be fun.
46. 10:03want to create today. Why would they not have that on their homepage? Runway left. If anyone has any questions, feel
47. 10:15free to pop pop them in there. I'm happy to answer any questions other than what are your qualifications, which we have
48. 10:23established. I've got one. This is Adam and Eve.
49. 10:49I don't know where. Oh, here you go. Runway.com. Runwayml.com48. All right, let's go try that.
50. 11:10not runwayml.com. Or wait, did I spell it wrong? Yes. Ah, here we go. Watch the full collection of winning films in the LF edition.
51. 11:24Yeah, let's go watch some films. Are these going to spin up new windows every time I do it? They probably are. That's okay. All right.
52. 11:35like VMware did for virtualization but with the ability to create an app ecosystem. Very similar. If I were looking to target a market for
53. 11:46AI dominance, it would be an operating system for AI. Um, yeah, there's some folks trying to do that right now.
54. 12:00There's some folks trying to do that right now. Um, all right. Let me share
55. 12:15share this tab instead. We're going to go watch some movies
56. 12:32and I'm going to give you a caveat here. I'm gonna if I get bored with the movie or if I have comments on it, I'm going to stop it.
57. 12:42So, this might be frustrating. Oh, man. All right. So, here we go. So this is um this is runway ML has a new
58. 12:57feature called ALF that allows you to basically change things within an environment and and you know keep the
59. 13:05same basic action of a of a clip but switch out characters, switch out the background, switch out the environment,
60. 13:12things like that. So here's the Grand Prix winner. Do we want to start with that or we want to go to the bottom 10 first edition winners?
61. 13:22Oh, that was from October 2023. Second edition, third edition, fourth edition. So, are these the left winners? Yeah.
62. 13:37So, we'll start at the bottom and work our way up.
63. 13:58[Music] Thank you, dish frog.

68. 16:26one's boring the [ __ ] out of me. There's also like weird There's like weird stuff in it. Like weird um weird
69. 16:35AI artifacts. All right, let's go to the next one. All right, hang on. Kyle, as your producer, if if we're gonna if we're
70. 16:44going to bail on something, you can't bail on something 30 seconds before the end of the movie. >> I can I can
71. 16:52I I just didn't care. I'm like, okay, so they're getting more and more plastic. They're they're going in to get more and
72. 16:59more beautiful, and they're getting more and more >> probably a message at the end. >> Yeah, I don't care. I don't care.

82. 20:27Oh, that was her. for
83. 20:52this. [Music]
84. 21:16That one wasn't bad. I mean, that one at least had a distinct style. It was clearly done by people that knew editing and storytelling. It's
85. 21:25told a story. He was a bad man. But she didn't want the daughter to throw away the movies. Popcorn, please.
86. 21:40Oh, I said goodbye mouse. Adios, Raton. Oh, that's funny. That's hilarious. [Laughter] Adios. Goodbye mouse. That's awesome.
87. 21:50Okay. All right. Um All right. That one was not bad. It's good.
88. 22:05First time in therapy. >> Yeah. >> So, what brings you here? >> What brings me here? It all began when I was prompted.
89. 22:20>> White tiger with a pimp outfit. I used to show up every day waiting, but they never picked me. >> A kitten who looks like strawberry.
90. 22:29>> Kitten looks like strawberry, please. >> Sometimes I even wish there was a cat. Cats always get chosen. [Music] >> Oh, K.
91. 22:44A man with a earthshaped head. You're up. >> Finally, someone called my name. The noodle who just lost the bat.
92. 22:56>> I couldn't believe it. It was fast, scary, but I felt like a star. >> You did it. You did it. >> Be the best version of yourself.
93. 23:06>> Smile. Be confident. >> Be the best version of yourself. >> Stop running. >> I did everything by the book. >> Don't forget to smile.
94. 23:16And when I got there, I saw my creators looking at me for the screen, and I tried to look open, not me. He looks super needy. >> Totally.
95. 23:25>> This one is much better. >> He has a masculine atmosphere. >> Let's take him. >> No. >> And then in a split second,
96. 23:36they chose the guy next to me, and I >> I was nothing. >> Mhm. I had to stand there and watch them upscaling him and animating him. It was
97. 23:50devastating. >> That sounds very difficult. >> Nobody wants me. >> Mhm. >> I don't matter. >> Life, even an artificial one, could be cruel
98. 24:00sometimes. >> Um, >> but what about you? What do you think about yourself? Have you tried to look inwards? [Music]
99. 24:31>> Wow, this is so beautiful. >> Oh, our time is up. Wow. >> I can see that you're truly emotional about this. >> Really rock my wall.
100. 24:43>> Mhm. Okay. So, that will be 30,000 credits. And um I wrote that I will see you here again. >> Yes, I think you will.
101. 24:59[Music] >> Fascinating. Fascinating. Let's see. >> Wait, you got to finish that one. There was There was a little There was a
102. 25:10little fun thing at the end. >> Yeah. [Music]
103. 25:30>> That was it. The the tech stuff. >> Oh, >> yeah. I know they must have put something at the end on on the other
104. 25:36version that I saw, but I love I love the prompt guy at the end or that the guy that's saying all the prompts. Um
105. 25:43the version I had had him doing a couple of other outtakes at the end. >> Oh, that's funny. >> All right. >> Yes,
106. 25:57I'm gone. Not suddenly, more like a photograph slowly losing its colors. One day I was here and then I wasn't.
107. 26:09I remember when the house had no walls. We built entire worlds from nothing. Turned silence into secret languages.
108. 26:19Became anyone we wanted to be. Back then, you and I were everything we needed. And then we grew. Our stories grew with us. The games
109. 26:32became bigger. The worlds we built more complex. There were days of laughter so loud I thought they'd never end. I believed
110. 26:41we'd stay like that forever. But forever is shorter than it seems. One day you found other worlds, other games, other friends.
111. 26:53>> Aw. I told myself I didn't mind, but I did. I felt myself drifting. I wanted you back. I tried to hold on maybe too tightly.
112. 27:03>> It's Toy Story. >> I thought I was losing you, but maybe I was losing me. Days grew quieter, rooms grew bigger,
113. 27:13and somehow I became small. Until one morning, I realized I had vanished. For the longest time, I thought disappearing was failure.
114. 27:25But I understand now. I wasn't meant to stay. I was meant to walk with you until you could walk alone. Everything I was lives in you.
115. 27:38Thank you for imagining me. That's beautiful. Beautiful little Toy Story derivative, but good. Pretty
116. 28:01[Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] That's
117. 28:21[Applause] picking on you, Brandon.
118. 28:49That is it. [Music]
119. 29:08[Applause] [Music]
120. 29:26[Applause] [Music]
121. 29:51[Music] I don't know, William.
122. 30:15[Music] [Applause] Unbelievable. [Music]
123. 30:30Hey. [Music] All right. I have no [ __ ] idea.
124. 30:49Whatever that was whatever. Um, but it did it did have at at least they chose a visual style until they cut away to the
125. 30:59man and the woman in the dirty bathwater and it was a completely different style. Um, Mr. It asks, "What app is this?" Well,
126. 31:09the Oh, wait. Let's see. Side hustle mimi. We got a one yawn review from Kyle on this one. Yeah, that one that one didn't
127. 31:17really have a story. I mean, maybe it did. Had to be French. Two and a half yawns. Um, it um what was I going to say about Oh. Oh,
128. 31:31what tool is it? This was runway MLF's feature. So you had to use runway MLF their sort of scene swapping character
129. 31:39swapping feature. Um and I don't know these images were probably made either in runway or in midjourney or something like that. So,
130. 31:50>> but listen, I mean, the thing all of these have in common so far is that they, you know, they're they're they're wellcrafted
131. 32:03storytelling, right? Sometimes the stories suck, but >> there is no monster.
132. 32:22[Music] for

134. 32:54[Music] Fore! [Music]
135. 33:23[Music] Foreign! Foreign! for [Music]
136. 33:45[Music]
137. 34:07Okay, this one's good. [Music]
138. 34:29[Music] [Music]
139. 34:47All right. You lost me when the monster was in the bathroom looking up at his package. But That was pretty good. All right, where
140. 34:58are we in the in the mix here? We saw those two. So, we got the void, we got to the void signal, and then we have the Grand Prix winner.
141. 35:11All right. And then we then we'll talk about it. I think these are Listen, I uh this this is good. This is good. This is This is a
142. 35:20I'm glad we're doing this because this is not something I would have done on my own. I think it was meant that Oh, he was the
143. 35:27killer and blamed it on the monster. Oh, maybe Danielle. Yeah, there you go. Paying attention to to the actual story. Got it. Yes. Good.
144. 35:40What you said, I think you're right. To the void.
145. 36:05[Music] [Music]
146. 36:27Nice color grading on this tile. [Music]
147. 36:54[Music] [Applause] [Music] What is that? [Music]
148. 37:09[Applause] [Music]
149. 37:40[Music] [Music]
150. 38:22[Music] Exit. [Music]
151. 38:42[Music] [Music]
152. 39:11We get used to everything, even to the void. That one was That one was super [ __ ] depressing, but but it was quite
153. 39:21beautiful. And it was like I loved that they shot it in a two 2.1 aspect ratio, the super wide aspect ratio. I love that
154. 39:28everything was super grainy. I simply can't can't follow stuff that disjointed. Yeah, I know. Um, all right.
155. 39:40signal and then the grand prize winner.

160. 41:15Huh? All right. I'm having thoughts. All right. The big grand prize winner. Oh, wait. This is Oh, this is People's
161. 41:29Choice. Okay, this is People's Choice then Grand Prize winner. So, here's People's Choice. [Music]
162. 42:09It's kind of cool, huh?
163. 42:46We are in the [Applause] [Music]
164. 43:04Oh, that's not it. [Music]
165. 43:18[Music] [Music]
166. 43:33[Applause] Yeah, I noticed that too, Vicki.
167. 43:48[Music]
168. 44:05All right, that was people's choice. Yikes. The [ __ ] are we thinking, people? All right, the grand prize winner. >> Back up to go.
169. 44:20>> All right, who just won the last ping pong match? >> Does it taste like corn?
170. 44:36>> Okay, let's see. Um, where do I start? Um, right. Yeah. Okay. I'm just going to jot down the highlights
171. 44:50and you know, I may embellish here and there, so don't expect this to be totally accurate, but um, it'll be close enough. So, my childhood,
172. 45:04[Music] well, I remember we had a lot of cats. I mean, a lot of cats, >> like a lot. >> And there was one big blue one we called Big Jim.
173. 45:16>> It was great. >> And potato chips. What else? >> In the summer, we'd explore Granddaddy's farm. And in the winter, too. But that's
174. 45:23when the ice trolls would come out. >> They were friendly, though. >> I just want to point something out. This is This is that left feature.
175. 45:35So, here's the shot. summer we >> in the summer and that's probably just a kid walking on grass >> or granddaddy's farm and in the winter
176. 45:45too but >> right they just continue the shot and now it's snowing that's pretty cool >> that's when the ice trolls would come out
177. 45:52>> they were friendly though >> here we go >> and I remember seeing a movie when I was a kid that made me scared of sharks for years but
178. 46:02I eventually got over that I play video games like most kids. You know, we had the latest consoles, but I got out too. You know, my brother
179. 46:13and I, we played soccer at Mistress, >> you know. I wonder I wonder if this is real video footage. >> Video games like most kids.
180. 46:27>> And then see all the steampunk [ __ ] here. That's what got added in a left maybe. You know, we had the latest consoles,
181. 46:36but I got out, too. You know, my brother and I, we play soccer at Mr. Sprinkles Donut Park every year, and we live near
182. 46:44the water, so we'd catch crabs now and then down at Lake Tangerine. >> What you got, >> our new baby crab?
183. 46:51>> We'd vacation at the beach sometimes, and I remember one year all the rubber duckies got turned around or lost or
184. 46:57whatever, and they all washed up on the shore. And I think that was the same year as Pronto's Comet. When it flew over,
185. 47:06everything felt like a disco. >> Yeah, >> I remember I wanted to be a cowboy when I grew up. But I had a hard time riding horses, so
186. 47:17I changed my mind and decided I wanted to be a wizard. >> Every day I would practice my powers at home until eventually I got pretty good.
187. 47:29Maybe too good. He was mean to you, wasn't he? And what happened? >> Accidentally turned my brother into a
188. 47:36toad one day, but he didn't really mind. But I swore off my powers after the incident with the neighbors, and that was it.
189. 47:46So to avoid legal trouble, I ran away from home into the desert where I found this ancient temple with a portal inside.
190. 47:55I remember stepping inside and just walking and walking and walking and that's it. That's all I remember.
191. 48:06Um, I hope that clears up any questions about your old Paul. At least until the time comes. [Music]
192. 48:22Well, good luck. [Music] [Applause] >> That was really clever. I guess
193. 48:37[Music] yum. Yum. Yeah, I have a feeling that one is
194. 48:56>> all these ones with the VHS timestamps on them. >> When it flew over, everything felt like a disco. >> Yeah. >> Huh?
195. 49:07>> I remember I wanted to be >> fascinating. Fascinating. Well, what do you guys think? You could see why this was number one.
196. 49:18Yeah, this one. This one by far had the most storytelling and the most creativity. Um, I would love to like
197. 49:24that guy. What's his name? Holden Boils. I wonder if he's got a how I made it video. Let's go look at look him up on YouTube.
198. 49:34Vicki on YouTube. Um, people's expectations are low. I agree with that. Moral of the film festival, don't use characters with beards. That's
199. 49:44pretty funny. Um, let's see. YouTube. Let's look up his name.
200. 50:17This must be him.
201. 50:39Tik Tok question. Hang on. Hey, someone stole AI salon on Substack. Boohoo. I don't know what that means.
202. 50:56Is LTX Studio any good? Um, it's interesting. LTX Studio is Oh, tab. Share tab. >> I'm not sharing anything, am I?
203. 51:09>> I am. Oh, here we go. Share this tab instead. Um, I think this is his page. Latest the hitchhiker. Is this him?
204. 51:37[Laughter] I don't think that's AI. Um
205. 51:52Huh. Not sure if this is him. Might be him. Looks like him. Anyway, um, black bar. Okay, so let me give you my two cents on all this.
206. 52:07Tell you where I think we are. Just wait until the Oscars have an AI category. Um, they may have a year or two where
207. 52:18they've got a special category. I I think it's going to be shortlived. Here's here's kind of where I'm where this is landing for me.
208. 52:27This is very much reminding me of when digital cameras came out and they were really shitty. There were people like
209. 52:34Casey Neistat that were making, you know, crappy, you know, sort of handedited jankier than janky storytelling that just looked weird and
210. 52:50out of place. and then until it didn't right until it became a new aesthetic. What what I find fascinating here is
211. 53:00there was clearly a mix of filmmakers and non-filmmakers, but these the filmmakers are clearly the early
212. 53:07adopters, right? And so and then and then what you have is is you're going to have mixed in here, you're going to have
213. 53:14people like Casey Neistat, the the AI version of Casey Neistat who just dive into using these tools and
214. 53:23they learn storytelling through making videos for these contests and things like that. So there's going to be a
215. 53:30whole class of creatives that are AI native storytellers. then you're going to have a whole class of of creators
216. 53:39that are former filmmakers that adopt the tools and and you know use things in a more like integrate things in a more traditional sense. Um,
217. 53:51but it's kind of cool. Like the reason the reason all those films had that '7s experimental film vibe is like this
218. 54:00happened in the 70s too when when you know video c or film cameras got small enough that you could go, you know, that
219. 54:07that you didn't have to be a Hollywood studio to afford them. You could just go make films on 8 millimeter. That's you
220. 54:14saw all those early experimental late 60s early 70s kind of things. You saw similar things in the 80s with VHS
221. 54:21recorders. You saw similar things in the 90s with digital cameras, right? Fascinating. Fascinating. Fascinating. Fascinating.
222. 54:35And Murphy, what's shaking? Um, now that we had our movie, what's for dinner? Nachos. That's nacho cheese.
223. 54:45Nachos and Hot Pockets. Hot pocket. Hot pocket. [Music] Hang on a second.
224. 55:24Sorry about that. Hold, please. All right. Neighbor was texting me. Uh, hang on. Hold, please. >> Be right back.
225. 56:25All right, I'm back. All right, so Fascinating times we're in. Fascinating
226. 56:39times. It's funny where my head goes. [Laughter]
227. 56:55My My head goes to Someone someone said it today on one of
228. 57:10the calls that we're in this liinal state. We're in a liinal state between how things used to be and how things are going to be. Um,
229. 57:30I think there's always going to be a place for handcrafted storytelling, but I suspect that this time next year,
230. 57:40you're going to be able to prompt a five or 10 or 20 minute movie into existence with dialogue, with sound effects, with
231. 57:49background ground music. And that the stage after that is you're going to be able to prompt worlds into existence that are populated with
232. 58:05characters. And rather than nailing down a linear narrative, storytellers will publish worlds
233. 58:20where there can be many many stories told within them. And that and that maybe maybe movie making looks more like entering a world and and
234. 58:33describing the story that you want to follow or or or something like that. think I don't know if y'all have heard
235. 58:40of there's a there was a play in the in the '9s in New York called Tony and Tina's Wedding and and there've been a
236. 58:48bunch of them since but basically it was a play in a house where the audience was split up in different rooms and you could you b you
237. 58:56could follow a character throughout the the two or three hours of Tony and Tina getting married and it was depending on
238. 59:05the room that you were and you saw a completely different play. And so, so what this feels to me like right now
239. 59:16is the current state of the art is video tools are not quite good enough to do fully believable stuff, right? The acting is
240. 59:29shitty. There's inconsistencies. The the dude with the beard looked like four different people. fires light spontaneously there. Like
241. 59:38like there's just a bunch of stuff that's just [ __ ] weird, right? And and about the time that realism gets ironed out for
242. 59:51film production tools, that's when you're going to see the emergence of real time film making and real time world generation. So, so
243. 1:00:07Ah, it's crazy. [ __ ] crazy, man. [ __ ] crazy. [Music]
244. 1:00:22Nah, I'm not going to do that, Brandon. But thank you. Um, I think what I'm going to do is just call it an early night. I've got
245. 1:00:34a uh there's a weirdo walking around our neighborhood, so I'm going to go deal with that. Um weekend homework,
246. 1:00:53if you're so inclined, because I'm I'm going to be doing this this weekend. If you're so inclined this weekend, think about
247. 1:01:08if you were to enter a contest like that runway contest or if you were going to create something that you felt was
248. 1:01:15contestw worthy. It doesn't even have to be a film. Maybe it's a writing contest. Maybe it's a short story contest or a
249. 1:01:23illustration contest or something. Maybe it's a an app contest. What would you
250. 1:01:39what would you do? Like what is something you're passionate about that that you could think about doing like
251. 1:01:53really excellent work in. and you think about the thing you'd want to create first and then the technology was all
252. 1:02:06secondary. So rather than think about a specific tool, think about what is something that you'd want to make or create that you could really
253. 1:02:19have a strong point of view on, really have a strong creative vision for and just start getting in touch with
254. 1:02:30that and and if you're inspired to start something, then start something. But I think the idea of taking time, taking a
255. 1:02:38moment to think about what do I actually want to do? What's a story I would want to tell? What's what's an app I would
256. 1:02:46want to build? What's a problem I would want to solve that really resonates with you in a way that if you had to put in a week or two weeks
257. 1:02:55worth of work or a month's worth of work or a year's worth of work? What's a thing that you wouldn't get
258. 1:03:03bored of? What's a thing that you would you would know what good looked like if it showed up? I think that starts to be it. Now, um,
259. 1:03:13if you're not part of the AI salon, you should join the AI salon. And if you're within the AI salon and you haven't
260. 1:03:19joined the mastermind, the whole point of the mastermind is to get into these deeper kinds of conversations and
261. 1:03:25connect with people that are also really thinking about taking things to the next level. Um, so if you go to the AI salon,
262. 1:03:32if you're new there, there's kind of a sevenstep welcome process. So go through those steps, look at past meetings,
263. 1:03:38things like that. Step seven is check out the AI salon mastermind. If you haven't joined it yet, it's worth checking out. Um,
264. 1:03:49would you actually entered in a competition? Stay safe. Thank you, Dr. J. Um, would I enter what in a competition?
265. 1:04:13Um, if you've got YouTube, if you've got the YouTube app on your phone, if you go to the AIL Learning Lab YouTube channel,
266. 1:04:23which is LearningLab- AI, you can hype videos. So, go look at a previous video like go to the live section and find one of these videos and
267. 1:04:34uh you can in the lower lower right hand corner I think is a hype button. So, go hype hype things up. Um
268. 1:04:48the the other thing I would encourage you to do this weekend is just connect with people, connect with your family,
269. 1:04:55be kind. It's kind of an intense week kind of. It was a very intense week. Um, AI is just tech. Um, you know, I'm personally of the
270. 1:05:09belief that AI is tech that can actually liberate us and take us to our a higher plane of creative expression. Um, but it's just tech.
271. 1:05:20So connect with the people that you love and and be kind this weekend and think about the kinds of things you're
272. 1:05:27passionate about and and then in the coming weeks that that like that's something I want to explore is how do we start shifting this
273. 1:05:38conversation from here's the tools we can use to what do we actually want to do and I don't know what that looks like
274. 1:05:47yet. So, all right. Sound like a plan? Sound like a deal? Fantastic, everybody. All right, get your ass into the weekend. Have a good
275. 1:05:57weekend. Thanks for hanging out tonight. All right, bye.
