Are you ready for the good action? Are you ready for the good action?

[music] She came on him like slow cold front. >> [music] >> Well, his beard was warmer than the look in her eyes.
0:40
Sat on a stool and he said, "What do you want?" She said, "Give me a love [singing] that don't freeze up inside.
1:00
He said, "I have melted all in my time, [music and singing] dear. But to sit next to you, well, I shiver and shake. [music]
1:14
And if I knew love, well, I don't think I'd be there." Good evening, good people. Happy Wednesday night. It is uh what time is
1:30
it? It's It's Wednesday. It's 7:10 here in the in the mountain time. My screen looks dark. Why does my screen look
1:36
dark? Oh, I just had it dimmed. [laughter] Hey, Sharon Crawford, what's happening? Steo's in the house. Dr. Jay's in the house.
1:51
>> [music] >> It's Wednesday night. AI Learning Lab. This is the AI Learning Lab pre-show. I'm Kyle Shannon. We're
2:00
going to go live inside the AI salon here at 7:30 Mountain Time. So, about 15 minutes, a little more than 15
2:08
minutes. Hope you're all doing well tonight. We just had a beautiful thunder boomer here in Denver. Lots of
2:16
lightning and thunder. The electricity went out. to reset the internet router. I didn't know if we'd be going live tonight,
2:23
but we are back. Ocean has joined. Haven't seen you in a while, Ocean. I hope you're well. Steo, it's 11:11 a.m. It is tomorrow.
2:39
Hey, Tina. What's happening? Hello, Otto. Good to see y'all. Hope you're all well.
2:57
>> [music] >> Um, so lot going on. So Wednesday night we're going to play with some stuff.
3:13
we're going to build or create or just play. A lot of things have come out in the past three or four days. Um, so we're
3:23
going to go look at stuff. We're going to go look at the new Apples Apple uh Mac Minis and Mac Studios that came out.
3:34
If you want to get a tricked out Mac Studio right now with 256 gigs of RAM, you can. It's a 90-day wait period and
3:44
it's going to run you back 12 to 15 grand depending on how much you uh how much storage you put on it and like that. Um
4:01
Apple does do a lease program so you can lease that big bad boy machine for about 250 bucks a month. So for just more than
4:13
you're paying anthropic if you're doing the 200 buck a month thing or chatbt.
4:34
Anyway, if uh if you're here for the AI salon or the AI learning lab inside the AI salon, that happens in 15 minutes.
4:44
So, if you're on LinkedIn or YouTube, down in the description is the link over to the live stream. If you're on Tik Tok
4:49
or X, hey guys, uh go to my profile and the link is there. You just hop over to the AI Salon. We'll be going live there in a bit.
4:58
And that gives you a local a local model at that price. What are we talking about tonight? Well, we're going to talk a
5:04
little bit about that. That gives you So, there's there's a bunch of interesting things about that. 256 gigs definitely gives you a
5:14
decent model. To run a a really big one, you need a 512 gig machine and then you probably need more than that, but models
5:22
are getting better and smaller. Um, so a 256 gig machine is definitely going to give you a powerful local model,
5:33
meaning all of your AI stuff that you do, you don't have to go out to open AI. You don't have to go out to anthropic. You
5:44
can just do it on your desktop machine. Like all that intelligence now, it's is it the same as the big expensive models?
5:52
No. I think you need a 1.5 or 1.2 I think you need 1.2 terabytes of RAM to run the really big models with
6:02
with enough headroom to have context window. Um but 256 you can you can chain those things together. So I think you
6:12
could get to 512. Yeah, you could get to 1024. Yeah, you could get to a terabyte of RAM if you stacked four of those Max
6:24
Studios with 256 gigs of RAM. They're limiting it to two per customer. They're flying. Um they're probably going to be
6:32
sold out within a couple of days. Um Apple is is is really going to become like the local model company. It's going
6:42
to be it's going to be amazing. Yeah, you can wait. Um um there's an there's a a Mac event uh well there's an iPhone event happening
6:56
in September and I think they're going to announce some new AI machines there. So we'll see. Um and then we're probably going to go
7:04
play with some new tools. There's just a lot of stuff out. I don't know what's playable, meaning there there's new
7:10
things, but some of the things you have to have subscriptions for and everything's just gotten more complicated. So, I think we're just
7:16
going to go investigate tonight and then we'll play with stuff. I'm not developing. Well, you don't necessarily need to be a
7:25
developer to want local intelligence, right? the the biggest the biggest benefit is not so much cost or cost savings from the the big mo
7:41
models. Um but it's privacy. When you have a local model and you can do all of your you can run your agents using your local intelligence.
7:52
All of your data stays with you. None of it goes to the cloud. None of it goes anywhere unless you send it there. So,
7:59
so I think the the the benefit of this stuff is that more than more than the intelligence. But it it still blows my mind that you
8:11
can have machines that you can put in your household sitting on a desk with no big loud fans, just a quiet little box
8:23
about the size of a brain that is way smarter than we are. It's amazing. It is amazing. It's amazing.
8:34
Hey, Silver Fox. What's happening? Mary Mary's in the house. Ka Bruno.
8:49
[music]
9:23
your brain. [laughter] Maybe I just my brain just appears bigger because my hairline is heading it's heading west. >> [laughter]
9:34
>> Hey Danielle, what's shaking? What is shaking good people? Welcome to the AI learning lab pre-show. It's the show
9:43
before the show. Champy sang a little bit. He's lazy right now. He's just laying down.
9:59
You and I here all alone. Sunday morning here at home. Sky's blue and the coffee is strong.
10:13
It's true. Then I open my eyes to a dream realized in front of me. Hey
10:31
And I haven't got a clue what in the world is happening to me. Think I think I'm happy like first day of summer vacation.
10:44
Happy. Got to get a little rest and relaxation. Happy back to choir on Sunday morning singing true.
11:14
Okay. Um, what else is going on today? OpenAI released their hugging face hack report today and people are saying it's scarier
11:29
than we thought. It might be scarier than we thought. Is there a model that can create decent vectors? You mean for for um for doing
11:40
your own uh like a vector database? there are open- source libraries and things for for doing vectorization.
11:49
Um, so yeah, a lot of that stuff you can do you can do locally. Like when I was running OpenClaw, the vector database
11:57
used like a it was like a I don't know two or four gigabyte. It was a fairly small model and it did pretty good.
12:08
So nice to see you do doing something analog. I do I do analog stuff all night. In fact, you know, stage hand,
12:14
one of the things that has been a theme that's been emerging for the past probably three months. Um, I first
12:25
started noticing this inside the the mastermind practice lab. So, the people doing daily practices around how they use AI,
12:33
scalable vectors for art. Oh, I don't know. I don't know what that means. In what context? You mean like
12:42
Loris? I don't I don't know what it I don't know what they are, so I can't actually answer it. Um, not AI, but the King's Guard playing
12:52
9 to5 at Buckingham Palace was so awesome. Nice. That would interest me. Rasters, [laughter] raers, and vectors.
13:07
Uh but anyway, what I was saying was what I started noticing inside the the practice lab is that as people were getting more
13:16
sophisticated with their use of AI to a person, they were rediscovering things about their lives that were the
13:28
the the parts of their lives that were analog that they missed, that they really liked and they wanted to return
13:36
to um in fact I just talked to uh Bradley Perkins who used to be one of the in the leadership team of the AI
13:44
salon and uh he's discovered this too. He's been working in Argentina and Thailand. He's been working all over the
13:51
world doing the digital nomad thing and he's come to this conclusion that striking this balance between analog
13:59
work and AI work, digital work, um is where the secret sauce is, right? because when you do the analog work, you
14:08
tend if you're going to choose to do it, you're going to do it in areas that are close to your heart that are that are
14:14
more powerful for you. And so anyway, so that's that's something that I've I've been seeing a lot of. So yeah, so analog
14:20
stuff is the best. And like yeah, like a guitar
14:39
in a westerly. This car is my train. I've been driving. I've been wondering
14:55
what it is I'm running from again. Feel like an 80y old man holding on to 29. And up ahead on that horizon
15:13
is a California line. My E string where my B string's out.
16:01
What's disabled? Anything I need to pay attention to? Yes, raers and vectors. SVGs. I create them. Oh, and hoping to
16:09
find a model that can create them. I think chat GPT can do vectors. No. Can can't chat GPT do an SVG? Um, oh, but
16:19
you want them to be done well. Chat GBT. Um, make me an SVG of a penguin.
16:36
It's writing some Python, so that probably means it's going to suck.
16:51
>> [music] >> Well, what you could also potentially do um is just generate raster images in chat GPT and then take them into Illustrator
17:06
and convert them. That's always it's always a mess, but I did that with the logo for the great repurpose.
17:29
All right, everybody. 3 minutes we're going to be going live inside the AI salon. So, if you're on the YouTube or
17:36
the LinkedIn down in the description of the video, that's the link over to the live stream. Three minutes. And same
17:41
with Tik Tok and X. Um, I'm deep down a rabbit hole, my friend. Building agents, a Jarvis. There you go.
17:51
Building agents, it's everyone's thing tonight. You looking for laughs or calm? Neither. Tik Tok. I'm leaving. Uh, so if
17:59
you're on Tik Tok or X, go to my profile. That'll take you over to the AI salon. I will see you there in two
18:04
minutes now. And, uh, we will be live here shortly. Peace out. Hope you had a good time.
