0:00 Hey Kyle, Kyle, did you hit the button?
0:04 Did you hit the button?
0:07 Yeah.
0:08 I'm live now, Vicki.
0:12 (Laughter) Oh, Lordy.
0:18 (Guitar Strumming) Is Brandon asleep?
0:20 No, Brandon's dealing with Andy.
0:21 Andy's backstage.
0:22 I see Andy backstage.
0:23 She's hiding.
0:24 We're gonna get her up here.
0:26 She's gonna teach me remedial mighty networks.
0:32 (Laughter) (Guitar Strumming)
1:21 (Guitar Strumming)
1:26 There's been something, baby, that I've been trying to say.
1:32 For an age and it seems I don't know how.
1:38 The past and the future now, surrounding me.
1:44 Surrender to it, and the cheap thrill can be found.
1:49 There's been a little trouble since it came to my rescue.
1:59 And if you'd like all of the rest, I
2:01 would've let you long ago, but I couldn't do that.
2:09 Oh, tell me now, women and women never went too well.
2:16 Make a man crazy, make him cold as hell.
2:22 I don't want my naps, you wish me well.
2:26 But in spite of your trying, still
2:29 gonna have to find my own way through.
2:36 (Guitar Strumming)
2:42 So tonight, as part of the AI Learning Lab Practice Lab,
2:48 the AI Practice Lab, that's what I'm gonna call it tonight.
2:57 I had a relatively large revelation today, and you might be
3:01 saying, "But Kyle, you seem to be
3:02 having one of those every day lately."
3:05 I think that's how it goes when you start shedding your
3:10 legacy way of being, as Townsend Wardlaw would say.
3:15 I would probably make an Andy smile right now.
3:20 (Guitar Strumming)
3:30 So next Tuesday, I leave for Washington, D.C.
3:34 And the AI Salon is hosting, I don't know, 13 or 19
3:40 startups, I forget how many, flying to Washington, D.C.
3:45 I'm going there with Daisy Thomas.
3:49 We're doing roundtables at the Capitol.
3:51 We're doing sessions in the
3:54 Congressional offices and the Senate offices.
3:56 Yeah, I know she is.
4:01 I won't keep you back there too long, Andy, I promise.
4:06 (Laughter)
4:11 This is the third time that we've done this.
4:15 And...
4:20 Wow, will you be on C-SPAN?
4:21 I don't think so.
4:22 These are more like staffer meetings.
4:24 These are like meetings in the
4:25 Congressional offices rather than on the floor.
4:28 And same in the White House,
4:29 it'll be with White House staff.
4:36 But one of the things that's been consistent for the past
4:39 two times I've done this is that I don't talk about it.
4:50 I'll do like a post to the AI Salon
4:53 community, maybe a post to LinkedIn once.
4:57 And then I go and maybe I'll take a
4:59 picture or two and then I don't post them.
5:01 I don't do anything with them.
5:04 And I was talking to Andy today
5:08 about, I don't know, whatever the fuck.
5:12 Oh, just selling a product that we're coming up with.
5:19 And I was talking about the product and what it basically
5:24 came down to, like, who are you going to reach out to?
5:28 And the minute she said that, like, I froze.
5:33 And like, it hit me like a ton of
5:37 bricks that for, I think, all of my life,
5:43 that despite dramatic evidence to the contrary,
5:49 like dramatic evidence to the contrary, in my head is this
5:55 little voice that says, they don't want to hear from you.
5:59 And so every fucking email, like if it's an outreach email,
6:03 if it's a sales email, if it's a, hey,
6:05 look, I'm doing this cool thing in DC,
6:09 this little fucking voice of they don't want to hear from
6:12 you is there and it's ever present.
6:17 And so we went back and forth
6:18 today and it was really powerful.
6:19 And it's like, no, they do want to hear from me.
6:21 They do want to hear from me.
6:23 They've been waiting so fucking long to hear from me.
6:26 I've got all this evidence.
6:28 They want to hear from me.
6:29 All of them, everyone. Who's they?
6:33 So anyway, that was super cool.
6:37 So anyway, Andy, you want to come up now?
6:41 Now that I've, now that I've bared my, bared my soul.
6:45 Oh, wow.
6:46 That was cool.
6:49 Hi.
6:51 Hi.
6:52 That's what it was, right?
6:53 We got the Royal Blue Memo tonight.
6:56 It's nice. Oh yeah.
6:57 Mine's SpaceX.
6:59 I'm all Elon Musk.
7:00 This is, this is Bubba Gump Shrimp Company.
7:03 Oh, that's solid.
7:07 Well, you're ostensibly up here to help me, help me learn
7:14 how to schedule posts because scheduling posts, like it's
7:17 something I've never learned to do.
7:18 Why?
7:19 Because that would require, that would, that would, that
7:22 would have me accept that people wanted
7:26 to hear from me more than once in a row.
7:28 Like it's, it's, it's this
7:30 insidious fucking thing, you know?
7:32 Mm-hmm.
7:34 So anyway, so what are you going to do?
7:38 I was thinking that you were going to write the posts that, You want to teach me how to do it?
7:41 you know, letting people know in the community about what
7:43 you're doing, what's happening on those days.
7:46 Today I'm going to X.
7:48 Today I'm going to be talking to X.
7:50 Do you have your agenda?
7:52 Yeah, I've got it somewhere.
7:54 I have it.
7:55 I pulled the press release up.
7:56 Yeah, well you forwarded it to
7:57 me so it's on top of my inbox.
7:59 Okay.
8:01 Hold on.
8:04 And then, so what I was going to do today, I was going to
8:06 go to, to GenSpark Designer, make some cool graphics or
8:09 Mid-Journey, make some cool
8:10 graphics, write the posts, do the posts.
8:14 The other thing I wanted to do, Andy, is, and this doesn't
8:16 require scheduling, but I know it's late there so I don't,
8:19 I want to, I want to get to the
8:20 scheduling thing just a minute.
8:21 I'm a little old.
8:22 Okay.
8:24 Um, um, the, the other thing I want
8:28 to do tonight, how many people here?
8:29 We've got 15 people here.
8:30 We have, we have a handful of people here.
8:32 So what I'd like to do is I'd like to go to the AI salon
8:36 and I want to ask for you all to share a story about how
8:42 AI's impacted your life so that I have a
8:45 pile of stories to draw from when I'm in DC.
8:49 So in fact, let's go do that now.
8:52 Um, and then while we're in there, let me share my screen.
8:55 I'm sharing. Okay.
8:56 Okay.
8:57 So do you want the run of show?
9:02 Not for this.
9:04 Okay. Not for this.
9:05 Let me know what you need and when.
9:06 Where do I, where do I want to put this community feed?
9:10 You could put things in announcements. Probably.
9:12 If they're announcements, you can put it in.
9:15 So basically when you're looking at the community, some of
9:18 these spaces have all the, everybody's
9:20 going to get to know how the community works.
9:22 Some of them have auto joined all the members.
9:24 So if you're going to write something in the community feed
9:27 or an announcements, everybody
9:28 in the community will see it.
9:29 If you notify the community.
9:31 So yesterday I noticed you didn't notify the community.
9:34 Notify them.
9:35 Okay.
9:36 Let them know.
9:37 Yeah.
9:38 That's so notify them.
9:39 That means they would want to hear from me, right?
9:42 They're waiting.
9:44 They're waiting.
9:45 They've been waiting so long.
9:47 So long.
9:48 And you know, it's funny.
9:50 Like when, when I stumbled on that,
9:53 when you and I were talking, it's like.
9:55 Fuck.
9:58 They've been waiting so long.
10:00 They've been waiting so many people.
10:02 So long.
10:03 Anyway.
10:04 Okay.
10:07 Hey.
10:09 Hey, I slanders.
10:15 As you may know, and yes, I know
10:19 this is boring to watch me type.
10:21 As you may know, I.
10:27 Can I put to Andy's Mac book air.
10:30 Can you guys hear me?
10:31 Can you hear my audio?
10:32 Okay.
10:33 Yes.
10:34 It got crunchy there for a minute.
10:36 This, I feel like this is.
10:39 You might be on a mic. You can try. You know, Daisy Thomas. Wait, wait, wait. I.
10:55 Hosting a washing ton.
11:01 DC fly in.
11:07 So.
11:08 I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. If you're watching this. If you're watching this.
11:11 And I assume most of you are members of the AIS salon.
11:14 I want you to go to the AIS salon and I want you to go into
11:17 community feed right now and you're
11:18 just going to wait for me to write this.
11:20 And then when I write this, my request, my deep request for
11:24 you, I don't ask much of you on this channel.
11:27 Is I want you to share a story and I want you to share a
11:30 story of impact of how AI has
11:33 changed your changed your life in some way.
11:35 It doesn't have to be profound.
11:37 Simple stories are sometimes
11:38 the ones that are most effective.
11:40 But I want you to share it with two things in mind.
11:42 One is I want you to share a story
11:44 that Daisy and I can use in Washington.
11:47 But the other one is I want you to share it in a way that's
11:49 like a model for other people in the community.
11:53 For how they might share because one of the things that
11:57 we're working on in mastermind is intentionally sharing and
12:02 commenting on one another's work.
12:04 And what I realized this week is it's fucking scary.
12:07 And so I think a lot of people are scared to contribute.
12:10 So that's my request.
12:11 Go into community feed right now and I will
12:13 finish this up shortly, relatively shortly.
12:17 However slow an old man can type.
12:20 All right.
12:52 And even a day with White House staff.
12:58 I'm going to be at the White House this
12:59 time with White House staff educating them.
13:44 A.I. I
13:46 don't know has.
13:48 I'm going to say changed your life.
13:52 I don't just want this to be like I did this cool thing
13:54 once and got a picture of a
13:57 turtle and stuck it on a T-shirt.
14:00 Now I want I want you to dig deep.
14:04 OK.
14:05 It's 14 people in here, 15 people in here.
14:09 All right.
14:10 If you share your story, know that I may.
14:26 Let's see that Daisy or I may share some or all of it.
14:41 So if you just want.
14:49 I think this is too long.
14:51 OK.
14:54 I would cut out that whole last sentence.
14:56 Now we're getting into.
14:58 Great.
15:00 Notify.
15:01 All right.
15:02 It's in there.
15:04 Go in there right now, please.
15:07 Where's our familiar chime?
15:08 Please.
15:09 Exactly.
15:10 Ping, I beg of you.
15:11 You could have scheduled that for five minutes from now and
15:14 killed two birds with one stone.
15:16 Oh, well, that's OK.
15:19 I didn't hear a friend.
15:21 He said he said, you know, you could have scheduled that
15:23 five minutes from now and killed two birds with one stone.
15:26 Well, Brandon knows how to schedule posts.
15:28 He didn't need me for it.
15:30 That's right.
15:31 I just want to talk to you.
15:33 We've never done this.
15:35 All the time. No.
15:36 We've never done it here.
15:37 OK. No.
15:38 Where where where do I go?
15:40 So let's see.
15:42 So any post can be scheduled.
15:44 So whatever you want to write, whenever
15:46 you want to write it, you can schedule it.
15:48 So so we can do what we did yesterday, which remember
15:51 yesterday you were like, hey, you still here.
15:53 How do I create an article?
15:55 That's where that has to go with a
15:56 little create in the upper right.
15:58 But if you don't if you just want to write a post
16:00 somewhere, you can write it anywhere
16:02 and then next to so see how it says post.
16:05 There's a little down arrow next to post.
16:08 Once you write something, you have
16:09 the option to schedule that post.
16:11 I am.
16:12 Can I edit it after I schedule it?
16:15 Going to Washington.
16:23 OK.
16:26 Schedule post.
16:30 OK, so I'll do this for tomorrow.
16:35 I'll do it bright and early in the morning.
16:39 Right nearly eight thirty eight p.m.
16:42 I'll do it.
16:43 We'll do it at eight thirty p.m.
16:45 That's great.
16:46 Some people.
16:47 Yeah, exactly.
16:49 I'll do it. All right.
16:50 I'll do it.
16:51 Eight thirty eastern.
16:54 Schedule post. All right.
16:55 Oh, and then notify.
16:58 OK.
16:59 Oh, and then view your schedule post.
17:01 So where do I go to your little face up at the OK.
17:04 Well, there you go.
17:05 You can do that, too.
17:06 So under there, there's also scheduled posts.
17:08 OK, cool.
17:09 So anything that's scheduled and actually anything that's scheduled.
17:11 In the whole community should
17:13 pop up there if you're a host.
17:15 So we'll see everything.
17:17 OK, cool.
17:18 That's awesome. All right.
17:21 Yeah, very easy.
17:22 OK.
17:23 This is a big letdown.
17:24 You know, what else?
17:27 Nothing.
17:32 For entertainment, everybody.
17:34 Yeah, really.
17:36 Yeah, that was that was a big, big letdown.
17:40 Well, that's a lot.
17:43 Well, that's the irony of how how pervasive this this issue
17:51 is in my life is that the the.
17:56 When I do it, it's fine.
17:58 Like when I actually just reach out to someone, it's like
18:01 I'm fine at reaching out to people.
18:03 I'm fine at connecting with people.
18:04 Yeah, but I think that this is what you're touching on is
18:06 an important thing in that, you know, something that you
18:08 mentioned that maybe the people.
18:09 I don't maybe.
18:14 Maybe just any person might not be aware of.
18:17 I don't just mean like audience, but
18:18 I mean, are you checking your email?
18:21 I was going to see if you sent me the email with the email.
18:25 You told me not to.
18:27 No, it's that you know, you're aware to that if you're if
18:32 you're being if you have a story that this
18:34 isn't for you, you're not going to do it.
18:36 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:38 Yeah, exactly.
18:39 And it's and it's always every single time it's like this.
18:43 It's this internal fucking battle.
18:46 And like it sometimes goes on for
18:47 days, weeks to send a stupid email.
18:52 Anyway, do you need an email?
18:54 Do you need an email with your agenda for this?
18:58 I can go find one.
18:59 It would be easier if you sent me one.
19:01 I am sending it. Will you send me one?
19:02 Do which email do you want it to story?
19:05 OK.
19:09 OK.
19:10 All right.
19:11 So I have one other thing I need to talk about.
19:14 With me or without me?
19:16 Without you. Well, I can do it with you, but it's not about you.
19:22 OK.
19:24 OK, cool.
19:27 I don't know any other thoughts.
19:30 Do I have thoughts?
19:31 My thoughts are that that
19:32 scheduled post that you have there.
19:34 I hope that by the end of this live,
19:36 that's a little little more beefier.
19:40 Maybe with some nice images or.
19:44 Yeah, no, I don't know.
19:47 I am going to learn how to do it.
19:54 Now I know how to do it.
19:55 I will come back.
19:56 I will not let that there.
19:57 This.
19:58 OK, I'm going to make Brandon has to
19:59 make sure that you want this loop closed.
20:03 Brandon is going to make sure the loop
20:05 is closed before before the end of it.
20:08 OK.
20:10 Kyle, I appreciate being on stage with you.
20:14 I appreciate you coming up here and teaching me something I
20:17 could have learned on my own.
20:18 And it's you know, it's been three years and I haven't.
20:24 So apparently I needed the boost.
20:26 Well, I don't know if it's necessary.
20:28 I think the bigger thing is just to like there's a lot of
20:30 events going on in Washington, D.C.
20:32 You're a BFD.
20:35 You're a BFD.
20:36 And I'm just going to say it again.
20:37 You're a BFD.
20:38 So I hope everybody knows you're a BFD.
20:41 And they want to hear from me.
20:44 And they want to hear from you.
20:45 They've been waiting so long.
20:48 They have. So long.
20:49 They've been waiting so long.
20:52 I don't get much evidence to the contrary.
20:56 I bet that's not true.
20:57 Archetypal architect.
20:59 All right, Andy, thank you so much.
21:01 I appreciate it.
21:02 I appreciate you.
21:03 I appreciate you too.
21:04 Have a good night. I will see you.
21:05 Bye.
21:06 Bye.
21:08 OK, before I get to updating this post
21:10 to make it less shitty, which I will.
21:15 Brandon, can you come up on stage?
21:20 Let's not do.
21:21 Let's do that one.
21:24 So I just I just want to acknowledge you. Yo, dude.
21:27 So first of all, we'll do we'll do
21:32 some some cheap advertising for your book.
21:35 This is Brandon's book.
21:37 OK, the 10,000 minute mindset.
21:41 Yeah, all right.
21:42 Go buy that.
21:43 OK, so Brandon sent me a book.
21:46 But not only did Brandon send me a book,
21:47 he sent me a beautiful, beautiful letter.
21:51 And he also sent me something that's on my shelf.
21:54 And up there, you see it?
21:57 You see it.
22:01 That.
22:06 This.
22:09 If you look really close, right on the E, it's on the E.
22:14 Yeah, it's right on the E.
22:17 This is the premiere issue of Wired magazine.
22:21 Now, why is this a big deal?
22:24 One, because it's pretty rare.
22:26 But two, I mentioned I probably more
22:30 than a year ago is my guess, Brandon, right?
22:32 This is a while ago, like a while ago.
22:35 I talked about having like all of the first three years of
22:38 Wired magazine except the premiere issue.
22:40 And I never got it.
22:41 And it always bummed me out that I never got it.
22:44 And Brandon has been like hanging out on eBay, like, you
22:48 know, buying doilies and things like that and looking for
22:52 the premiere issue of Wired magazine that wasn't, you know,
22:55 a mint condition, five thousand dollar version.
22:59 And he got one and he sent it to me.
23:02 So I just thank you.
23:05 Like it.
23:07 It means so much that.
23:12 I mean, the note that you wrote was
23:13 just very generous and very nice, too.
23:16 But there is something about this community, you know, you
23:20 were regulars where you really take me in.
23:23 And I think you take me in in a
23:24 way that it surprises me every time.
23:28 And this one this one caught me off guard.
23:30 So it's awesome.
23:31 And it, you know, it goes proudly on the shelf.
23:34 So so thank you so much.
23:38 You're welcome.
23:39 And, you know, it was it was I was very excited when it was
23:42 actually I don't know what Stephen knows or the guy in
23:44 Australia that actually got that over to me.
23:46 So that's a good for the win.
23:49 So it came from Australia.
23:51 That's great.
23:52 So cool.
23:53 Anyway, in the ads in that I don't know if you had a chance
23:56 to look into it, but, you know, seeing some of the
23:58 technology that was around in the
24:01 90s was something quite incredible.
24:05 And the ad standards, be careful which page you turn to.
24:08 I'll say that because the standards
24:09 are not always tick tock friendly.
24:16 Yeah, I mean, this was a time I remember.
24:19 I mean, I remember this issue on
24:21 the side of New York City buses.
24:23 Like I remember I remember buses going down 23rd Street.
24:26 I was working at an agency on 23rd Street.
24:30 And oh, well, the silicon graphics Indigo.
24:36 That's an old beast.
24:39 You can do graphics on a second or third page in there is a
24:43 picture of somebody sitting with the Apple.
24:46 Yeah, that's that's the one that I
24:48 saw with a little rollerball trackpad.
24:57 That's so cool.
24:59 Anyway, so yeah, I'm going to
25:00 definitely go read that digital sex Negroponte.
25:04 What's wrong with HD TV?
25:07 That's hilarious.
25:08 Anyway, super cool.
25:10 Thank you.
25:11 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
25:12 You're welcome.
25:15 All right, cool.
25:16 Groovy.
25:17 Okay, now I got to go fix this ad.
25:18 So what we're going to do is Andy sent me the run of show.
25:24 Your run of show.
25:28 Okay, you got a tick tock thing, by the way.
25:30 I have a what?
25:31 Oh,
25:34 I'm broke and I want to build my
25:35 own A.I. to do stuff on my CPU.
25:38 Where do I start?
25:43 It do you have a GPU?
25:45 Do you have like a 50 70 GPU, like a gaming computer?
25:51 Like I just got a gaming PC.
25:56 So so the short answer is there's good news for you.
25:59 The open source community is there
26:02 are tens of thousands of options.
26:06 The downside of it is you have to be pretty geeky.
26:08 So if you're geeky, you should be good.
26:12 But we'll figure that out.
26:20 Yeah, it really depends on what you're starting with.
26:23 Okay.
26:30 Well, you have Pinocchio.
26:31 Pinocchio will install stuff.
26:33 There's what did I hang on.
26:41 Okay.
26:59 So if you download LLM Studio, if you download LLM Studio,
27:03 this was recommended by Brent Peterson.
27:08 I've got an HP Victus 151 or 161.
27:14 I'm not a PC guy. I don't know what that means.
27:17 But if you go get LLM Studio, if you
27:20 just want something that's like chat.
27:23 First of all, is there any reason
27:25 you're not just using free chat GPT?
27:28 Because free chat GPT is better
27:31 than like way better than anyone knows.
27:35 So if you haven't dug deep on
27:37 free chat GPT, you should go do that.
27:40 I think they give you some amount of images you can make.
27:42 But you can you can do pretty much all the stuff.
27:46 The thinking might not be as deep.
27:48 But if you're going to compare that to
27:50 open source models, it's really, really good.
27:54 I need to be able to integrate it with various things.
27:56 If you need to integrate it and you need to do open source Okay.
27:59 stuff, like hang out on hugging face.
28:06 That's where a lot of the models are.
28:08 You can test a lot of them there.
28:11 Pinocchio is a thing that sets up Python environments on
28:15 your computer for you automatically.
28:17 So you don't have to manually
28:18 set up all these environments.
28:20 People, nice people, like the people on this call, go out
28:24 and they set up scripts for you that just
28:27 install all the shit to make something work.
28:30 So Pinocchio is a good one.
28:33 LLM Studio is a good one.
28:35 And then just go hang out on hugging
28:36 face and just start to figure it out.
28:38 What you'll have to do is figure out the capacity of your
28:43 computer, how much VRAM you have, you know, the sort of
28:47 scale of your GPUs and things like that.
28:49 And then you'll have to get appropriately sized models and
28:52 you probably need a pretty decent hard drive.
28:57 But what I can tell you is that, you know, the open source
29:02 community is making these models
29:04 more and more and more efficient.
29:06 The other thing you should do is you should join the AI
29:09 Salon and there's an ask for help section in there and go
29:12 in there and ask for help because there are people in the
29:14 AI Salon that are much better at this than I am.
29:17 Because I don't really do the open source thing.
29:18 I'm just starting to do it.
29:20 And I don't have the patience for it to do it really well.
29:25 Okay.
29:26 All right.
29:27 Fantastic.
29:29 This is awesome. Fantastic.
29:31 Really awesome.
29:33 Really fantastic.
29:36 Okay, I'm going to go now to chat Jai Pai Tai and say, hey,
29:48 here is the run of show for a DC fly in with
30:31 congressional and Senate office meetings and a series of
30:46 meetings with White House staff.
30:55 And then there's my itinerary and
30:57 then I'm going to say, okay, black bar.
31:02 Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
31:04 I feel like I can't make fun of Brandon
31:06 tonight because he did such a nice thing.
31:08 I'll get over it.
31:10 It's okay.
31:11 I'll get over it.
31:13 I'll be harassing him soon enough.
31:16 What did I miss Brandon? Okay.
31:17 You must be doing amazing things.
31:19 He sent me the premiere issue of Wired magazine.
31:21 That's what he did.
31:24 He's amazing.
31:25 And a really beautiful, thoughtful note.
31:29 Okay.
31:30 Let's see.
31:32 What did he do?
31:34 Okay.
31:38 I want you to write me a series of posts starting tomorrow
31:49 Friday January 15th or 16th through next Wednesday.
32:09 The ones this weekend should be.
32:14 Oh, it's windy out.
32:15 I love it when it gets windy out.
32:18 Oh, that's chilly.
32:23 It's chilly, Willie.
32:25 Whoo.
32:26 But I love hearing the wind.
32:28 Anyone else like a huge fan of storms?
32:31 I think storms are amazing.
32:34 I love storms.
32:35 Thunderstorms.
33:07 I write to make them sound like me.
33:13 And if you're curious if that shit works, it does because
33:16 chat GPT has memory and it
33:19 remembers a lot of things you've written.
33:22 Whether or not it's actually gets it good or not seems to
33:25 be relatively random, but it does seem to help.
33:30 Okay.
33:32 Write how I write to make them sound like me.
33:40 And use what you know of the AI salon.
33:47 AI readiness cycle.
33:53 Curiosity meets community.
33:57 Which, by the way, that's a beautiful.
34:00 In Brandon's book, at the beginning of 10,000 minute
34:03 mindset, Brandon acknowledges the AI salon and me, he says,
34:08 and to the AI salon and Kyle Shannon, who proved that
34:11 10,000 minutes spent learning together can change the way
34:13 we see ourselves, our work, and our world.
34:16 Thank you for showing what's
34:17 possible when curiosity meets community.
34:22 Isn't that beautiful?
34:26 Chat GPT wrote that so nice for you, Brandon.
34:30 See, I mean, I get back to it.
34:32 I knew I'd get back to making fun of him.
34:35 You're not wrong.
34:38 It did good.
34:42 Dear chat GPT, could you blow some sunshine up Kyle's ash?
34:51 Oh man, I look forward to the rain.
34:53 The sound is soothing.
34:54 I do too.
34:57 Okay, I want you to write me a series of posts.
35:00 Hold on this weekend.
35:03 Okay.
35:05 Etc.
35:08 Let's see.
35:10 Master mind.
35:12 Master, master mind.
35:15 Practice, etc.
35:19 Practice, etc.
35:26 Oh, good.
35:31 Oh, you know what's cool? I see.
35:33 I'm getting I'm getting dings.
35:35 Oh, just posted responding to my request for you guys to go Steve.
35:40 share your stories in community feed.
35:43 So I get dinged here.
35:45 So I'll start calling you out as I see them pop up and you
35:48 have if you haven't written how AI has changed your life.
35:50 Go do it. Okay.
36:02 Ruh-roh.
36:05 Okay, everything is, etc.
36:08 Okay, let's see.
36:11 The posts.
36:16 Should tee up the specific posts. The next week. Next week.
36:18 Should tee up the specific
36:25 events and things that Kyle Shannon and Daisy
36:35 Thomas will be attending.
36:43 Each post should be stand alone
36:50 and appropriate for
36:55 the community
37:02 LinkedIn and even a long post on X.
37:13 All right. Let's see if we get anything that is not horrible.
37:19 About.
37:20 I love the sound of snow.
37:32 It's the quietest sound.
37:35 So calming Silver Fox.
37:37 Do you remember I've said this
37:39 story a couple of times on here.
37:41 So I'm sure you've heard it.
37:43 But one of the most magical moments anyone in New York will
37:48 appreciate this and you'll appreciate this.
37:49 One of my most magical moments in my life.
37:54 Was.
37:56 It was 19.
37:57 1995.
38:04 Yeah, 1995 probably end of January early February.
38:09 And New York City got dumped like three feet of snow like
38:12 it was it was a big New York City, you
38:15 know, unprecedented kind of kind of storm.
38:18 And we were in the middle of doing agency.com.
38:22 So we had like like we were like we could not not work.
38:27 We had to go to the office.
38:28 So we subwayed up there and we went to our offices were in
38:32 the timing building on Avenue of the Americas.
38:35 It was it was all highfalutin.
38:36 It was cool.
38:38 And I remember we were like, let's go take a break and
38:41 let's go to Times Square and see what Times Square is like.
38:44 And so we walked over from the timing building across what
38:48 was that on that was like 53rd and
38:50 then we and then we sort of walked up.
38:53 Whatever the whatever the avenue was into Times Square.
38:57 And we walked into Times Square
39:00 and there's no people and no cars.
39:06 And it's fucking silent because
39:09 the snow was absorbing all the sound.
39:14 So like there were no horns.
39:15 There was no chatter.
39:16 There was no nothing.
39:17 It was just silence.
39:20 And then like on the far end of Times Square, you saw like
39:22 someone in, you know, cross
39:24 country skis skiing up Broadway.
39:27 So cool.
39:31 And it's like it's one of those things where it's like you
39:34 couldn't replicate it, right?
39:36 It would it could only be that.
39:38 There were some apocalyptic thing where
39:40 there's just no traffic and no people.
39:43 But man, that was amazing.
39:45 And it was it was definitely one of those moments where it
39:47 was just like like the the
39:50 lack of auditory feedback in this.
39:53 You get this visual stimuli of Times
39:56 Square and then just nothing in your ears.
39:59 It was just surreal.
40:00 It was so cool.
40:03 OK, Friday, January 16th,
40:04 we're taking the A.I. salon to D.C.
40:07 Next week, more than a dozen A.I. startup founders are
40:11 flying into Washington, D.C. with the A.I. salon, not for a
40:14 photo op, not for A.I. is coming panic theater for real
40:17 conversations, roundtables,
40:20 congressional and Senate office meetings.
40:21 There's a set of meetings with
40:24 White House and commerce staff.
40:26 Here's the thing I keep coming back to the future of A.I.
40:28 policy can't be written only by the
40:30 largest companies with the loudest think tanks.
40:32 It has to include people actually building people shipping
40:35 the people seeing edge cases
40:36 unintended consequences in real time.
40:39 That's shitty. We'll fix that.
40:42 This is what we mean by curiosity meets community.
40:45 We're bringing founders who can talk about infrastructure,
40:47 accessibility, trust, safety, productivity, creativity and
40:51 what happens when a promising
40:53 tool meets messy human reality.
40:55 And we're bringing a positive.
40:59 And we're bringing a posture that's very A.I. salon.
41:01 Play first, create excellence, generously lead.
41:04 Cool.
41:05 What the fly in is really for.
41:07 Sounds fancy.
41:09 So we're going there to create certainty.
41:12 OK, so these are good.
41:14 So Sunday, if you're building,
41:17 you belong in the conversation.
41:19 If you keep thinking about how many conversations are
41:21 happening about builders without the builders in the room.
41:24 So here's what I'm excited about next week.
41:26 This is really good.
41:28 This is really good.
41:33 It's it's so.
41:43 I don't know if it was a spiritual
41:45 awakening today, but I kind of feel like.
41:50 I kind of feel like I've I've
41:52 had this weird, crippling handicap.
41:56 Because if you believe they don't want to hear from you,
42:01 you actually believe it, even
42:03 with evidence to the contrary.
42:07 Then you don't proactively write, have chat GPT, write you
42:12 shit like this because you
42:14 know you're not going to post it.
42:19 So it's like I'm looking at this
42:20 and like, yeah, that's that's cool.
42:21 Like we can make these work.
42:23 Right.
42:25 Fuck.
42:27 It's amazing.
42:31 Amazing.
42:32 This is why we do a daily practice, by the way.
42:37 Tuesday, January 20th, what Daisy and I are actually doing
42:40 in this well, doing in D.C., we'll put there.
42:44 If you've ever wondered what hosting fly ins looks like,
42:46 it's basically equal parts choreography, emotional
42:48 steadiness and making sure
42:50 nobody ends up in the wrong building.
42:52 Here's what Daisy, Daisy, Thomas and I
42:54 will be plugged into Capitol Hill briefing.
42:58 Welcome reception.
43:00 We don't need all the rooms and shit like that.
43:03 We'll fix that up.
43:04 They don't need no breakfast and meeting prep, although
43:07 maybe maybe I'll kick us off
43:10 with encouragement and context.
43:12 Kathy will cover the day's expectations.
43:14 Yeah, this is good.
43:15 A roundtable with Representative Obernolte and
43:18 Representative Peterson for Pettersson.
43:23 Daisy will give welcome remarks and participate.
43:25 John will moderate.
43:28 All right.
43:29 D.C. Fly in day.
43:36 Wait, January 21st, what about 22nd?
43:39 Isn't there something on the 22nd?
43:44 Yeah.
43:48 All right, asshole.
44:04 Wait, okay.
44:06 I'm confused.
44:10 The one that says Wednesday, the 21st.
44:20 Is that really for the 22nd?
44:25 Wait for what's happening on the 22nd?
44:34 No, your run of show has events on both days.
44:44 Okay, well, you never I don't I think I
44:50 told it to not write a post for Thursday.
44:52 Okay, you never wrote a post for Thursday.
44:58 Thursday, because that's what I told you to do.
45:07 Okay, that's what I told you to do.
45:11 Please write that post.
45:17 This is where it gets real. Great.
45:21 Meeting prep.
45:22 Congressional Meeting Offices Task Force
45:25 Roundtable White House and Commerce meetings.
45:42 I'll be hosting the White House group.
45:50 Okay, this is good.
45:53 Okay, two tracks, one mission.
45:55 Today's the heavy lifting.
45:58 We'll get rid of some of the
45:59 shitty writing, but this is good.
46:01 Okay, now let's have let's go grab.
46:08 Let's go to mid journey.
46:24 Are we playing with cod Claude co work yet.
46:27 I don't have access to it because I don't
46:28 have Claude max because that's $200 a month.
46:35 I don't know if they made it more widely available yet
46:37 though, it's possible that they did and I didn't know that.
46:41 So, here you have it.
46:44 Um, okay.
46:47 Create, let's go grab.
46:51 Oh, these are some of my cool
46:52 Sydney images doing sketch studies.
46:59 These are cool. Look at that.
47:34 Good Lord I made a lot of images.
47:36 Hang on I gotta go to organize because
47:40 it's at least got smaller thumbnails.
47:43 Jesus.
47:44 Okay, let's go get some a I salon imagery.
47:56 Steve wants me to kill the regulars brace for impact.
48:00 Oh boy.
48:14 Nice. Steve.
48:19 Nice.
48:22 Let's my butt crack out.
48:25 Damn it.
48:27 Make sure you make posts for LinkedIn as well.
48:30 Andy I can.
48:32 I can use these for LinkedIn as well right or do I should I
48:35 make them different should they
48:36 be a different tone for LinkedIn.
48:42 That's just wrong.
48:43 That's just wrong.
48:44 Not inaccurate.
48:58 You all just weird.
49:01 Okay, we're not weird we're irregular.
49:06 Okay.
49:08 Beautiful.
49:10 We all saw it Kyle.
49:11 Oh boy.
49:12 Well, there you have it.
49:19 If, if you're gonna go live for three years straight at
49:21 some point they're gonna see your ass crack.
49:23 It wasn't bad.
49:25 It's an all right ass, you
49:26 know, it wasn't as bad as the photo.
49:34 Did you see my tramp stamp.
49:42 The discerning I knows your boxers are black and white.
49:48 Oh boy.
49:49 It's true.
49:51 It's true.
49:52 And their boxer briefs.
49:53 I'll have you know, they, they are nice form fitting.
49:58 They're a nice form fitting garment.
50:03 All right, we're moving on now people.
50:05 Just everybody calm down.
50:11 Okay, I think I probably have some DC stuff here.
50:14 Yeah, I do.
50:15 Okay, so, actually I can probably just grab all these boom.
50:32 Hey, remember that night when Kyle was like trying to get
50:34 all sensitive and they stood up and
50:35 his ass crack was out that was funny.
50:40 Your assholes.
50:41 You're all assholes.
50:43 No, we saw your asshole.
50:47 Okay, put that in there.
50:48 So now I'm going to say, I want to tick tock question.
50:54 Someone's ass crack is out for less than five seconds.
50:56 Okay, is it worth it taking the time to rerecord my voice
51:00 clone and 11 labs to use their newest models.
51:05 I listen, here's the thing about
51:07 doing about doing voice clones.
51:14 They sort of capture a moment in time like if you, if you
51:17 got in there and you were just a little nasally, then your
51:20 voice is going to be nasally like that if you went in and,
51:23 you know, talk like some sort of.
51:27 Bob tell him what he's one,
51:28 then it's going to be like that.
51:30 So, like, I think it's always a good thing to like, if
51:36 you're going to do a voice clone.
51:39 Do like vocal shit like vocal warm ups like what actors do
51:45 all that stupid shit just go to YouTube and look up vocal
51:48 exercises and I'm going to do that for years and just just
51:57 loosen up your, your vocal cord just
51:59 get your voice in a good relaxed place.
52:03 And then practice the thing you're reading the thing that
52:06 you're going to use to make the model practice it and then
52:10 just record like basically anything that you mispronounce
52:14 or kind of fuck up in the
52:15 recording will become part of the model.
52:18 And so if you kind of tweak out a word like that may tweak
52:22 out other words, you know, when
52:24 it's trying to figure shit out for you.
52:28 I would re record it.
52:29 Yes.
52:31 Fox are brief so the way to go.
52:32 I can't come down after this.
52:39 I just do a bunch of podcast
52:48 intros and read different poetry.
52:54 I mean, you know what, what actually might be fun brother
52:57 52 is if you're doing podcast intros if that's a thing that
53:01 you do then you probably have a decent voice.
53:04 I would do like different versions I don't know if you
53:07 know, notice this but like in in 11 labs they'll have like
53:11 one voice model they have this in Cartesia too.
53:14 And they'll have like have like Steven, you know, calm
53:17 Steven angry Steven nervous Steven.
53:21 So you could go in and do a bunch of different effects and
53:25 just see which one plays back best or even have multiple
53:29 models might be a way to play with that.
53:33 I think that's a smart thing to do.
53:35 I think it's listen.
53:36 Listen, I think that having skills around digital twins,
53:43 multiple digital voices this year will probably get real
53:47 time avatars like right now you can do avatars but it's all
53:50 you sort of record shit and then do it after will probably
53:54 be able to do real time avatars this year.
53:57 Having some facility around all these different skills I
54:00 think is going to be quite valuable in the future.
54:02 So, you know, I say experiment with that
54:04 stuff that's you talk about play first.
54:07 That's a really good area to play first.
54:09 Okay, I want you to be live restricted for some audiences.
54:16 Oh, because we talked about my ass.
54:18 Okay.
54:20 Your life is flagged for harassment and bullying.
54:24 God repeated violations could
54:29 result in your life being discontinued.
54:41 I believe myself.
54:42 Yes, yes, yes, I did believe myself.
54:56 What's it like living in a nanny state.
54:59 Did you say the word but not not the conjunction.
55:04 The other one with the extra T.
55:07 Oh, you did.
55:09 I'll tell you what that you're gonna
55:12 you're gonna get your wrist slap for that one.
55:15 You said the a word with the two S's.
55:19 I'll tell you what buddy.
55:23 They might just shut you down.
55:27 I didn't realize it was that edgy.
55:40 Thanks.
55:42 Thanks, Steve.
55:43 Oh, ruining the live for
55:46 everyone with your pornographic actions.
55:51 Okay, I want you to be inspired by cows but inspired by.
56:06 I want you to be inspired by these images for style and
56:14 come up with three image descriptions per post.
56:34 Describing the wide image in detail.
56:48 You can include text if you want to, but the images should
57:00 have iconic DC imagery and individuals making a difference.
57:17 Tonight on a very special blossom.
57:28 Absolutely.
57:29 Here's three wide image descriptions per post from the
57:32 river deduced DC a wide minimalist landscape.
57:36 No, capital as lighthouse.
58:12 Okay.
58:14 All right.
58:15 Did he just say blossom?
58:19 I did tonight.
58:21 Tonight on a very special blossom.
58:24 Don't you remember those where they always, you know, one
58:27 of the kids had some horrible disease or something.
58:34 It's like it's like this zany
58:35 comedy except for the special night.
58:42 Okay.
58:55 Stop not thinking.
58:58 I mean, Mac the image.
59:04 Yes, you should call your LLM a dumb dumb occasionally.
59:35 You'll see how horrible this is.
59:36 If it's horrible, we're just going
59:37 to go grab images in mid journey.
59:41 Actually, what what we'll do.
59:44 That's pretty fucking horrible.
59:47 Yeah, we're not doing that.
59:49 We're not doing janky McFuckface images.
59:54 I'm sorry, TikTok.
59:55 Am I not allowed to say that janky McFuckface?
59:59 Is that bullying janky?
1:00:07 I'll tell you, I was I was watching that that I learned in
1:00:11 lab and he was I mean, he was a pleasant fella.
1:00:15 At some point he stood up and we saw the book anyway.
1:00:19 He he was he was saying those words.
1:00:22 He was saying them out loud like my ass.
1:00:26 I didn't mean to say it.
1:00:27 OK, I didn't mean to say it like that.
1:00:29 Anyway, he was saying it out loud and then TikTok to boom.
1:00:32 They shut him down.
1:00:34 They put him in TikTok jail.
1:00:36 Nobody could see that TikTok anymore.
1:00:40 I guess serves him right.
1:00:41 Little smarty pants with his boxer briefs.
1:00:45 They were black and white.
1:00:46 It's sexy.
1:00:53 Here's what we're going to do.
1:00:58 I kind of like being an idiot sometimes.
1:01:02 OK.
1:01:04 But that I don't think that there are
1:01:06 any things that they did dirty and dirty.
1:01:11 Here's what we're going to do.
1:01:13 We are going to copy the whole post.
1:01:25 And we're going to go to mid journey mid journey.
1:01:30 We're going to pop one of these.
1:01:31 We're going to throw the mood board up there.
1:01:36 We'll throw the whole post in bang.
1:01:40 And then we're going to go style.
1:01:41 We're going to bring weirdness down.
1:01:43 We're going to go style.
1:01:44 We'll do this at 200.
1:01:51 And then we'll do the same thing at 800, 750.
1:02:27 Huh.
1:02:37 Those are weird and unusable.
1:02:41 OK.
1:02:42 Let's try some other shit.
1:02:44 Let's add some weirdness.
1:02:46 Let's take stylization to 950 and then do the same shit.
1:02:57 They're not very stylized.
1:02:59 I don't get it.
1:03:00 Why are they being all photo realistic?
1:03:04 I don't like it.
1:03:16 Mid journey has been awful with
1:03:17 faces in a group setting lately.
1:03:19 Weird.
1:03:30 Those are not horrible.
1:03:34 Let's see.
1:03:38 Let's go back to here.
1:03:41 Instead of the whole thing, we'll just
1:03:43 say we're taking the A.I. salon to DC.
1:03:54 Let's take it down to there.
1:03:57 OK.
1:04:00 So we'll do that.
1:04:05 Let me go 200.
1:04:16 We don't have weirdness again.
1:04:18 OK.
1:04:20 200.
1:04:22 And we'll go 800 with weirdness.
1:04:28 Sure.
1:04:33 I could go explore styles, Dr.
1:04:44 J, but I'm trying to use the A.I. salon mood board.
1:04:50 And it's just giving me weird.
1:04:54 It's not giving me what I want.
1:04:56 I think.
1:04:58 All right. OK.
1:04:59 So here's what we'll do.
1:05:01 Let's go back to chat GPT.
1:05:03 So rather than take the post itself, we'll go take some of
1:05:06 these image ideas that it came up with.
1:05:09 And we'll take one that doesn't suck.
1:05:15 So let's see a stylized almost cartographic image.
1:05:19 Here we go.
1:05:20 Let's try that.
1:05:21 I'll try this bang.
1:05:23 We'll go bang.
1:05:25 We'll go bang.
1:05:26 We'll go 200.
1:05:28 We'll go bang.
1:05:45 Yeah, these are better.
1:05:46 OK.
1:05:49 Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
1:05:50 beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
1:05:53 That's fantastic.
1:05:55 Yeah, let's yeah.
1:05:57 Nice solid. Mm hmm.
1:05:59 It's really good. That's solid.
1:06:01 Fantastic. Yeah. All right.
1:06:02 What you're doing, you're
1:06:04 doing some really good work there.
1:06:06 If you could just avoid the cussing.
1:06:11 Oh, the cussing.
1:06:12 It's you know, it's the it's the
1:06:15 it's the language of the popper.
1:06:17 The peasant. You know what I mean?
1:06:19 That's peasant language.
1:06:20 If you know what I mean, I wouldn't use it.
1:06:26 You with your swear words.
1:06:28 Everybody talking about Gary V does it.
1:06:30 So it must be OK.
1:06:33 Nobody likes him.
1:06:35 Yeah, that's that's peasant language.
1:06:39 All right.
1:06:40 Mm hmm.
1:06:43 Let's go.
1:06:46 Five four fifty on style.
1:06:48 We'll go bang bang.
1:06:51 Generate.
1:06:54 So we have an image there. All right.
1:06:55 Great.
1:06:56 So now we're going to go get January 17th.
1:06:59 The quiet room simplified congressional office.
1:07:02 Big rectangular window showing the Capitol.
1:07:04 I like this.
1:07:05 Fine.
1:07:07 Copy back to mid journey.
1:07:11 Bang bang bang.
1:07:14 Bang.
1:07:18 Well, I like this one.
1:07:20 It's not finished yet, but I like it.
1:07:22 I think that's going to be the
1:07:23 one that's going to be the one.
1:07:26 I'll tell you what.
1:07:27 I'll tell you what.
1:07:30 That's cool. Look at that.
1:07:32 Tell me that's not cool.
1:07:40 All right.
1:07:44 This is kind of what it's like being
1:07:45 in one of these congressional offices.
1:07:48 This is kind of what it's like.
1:07:50 You're sort of waiting there.
1:07:52 You just sort of wait.
1:07:53 And there's like, you know, people in the other rooms that
1:07:56 have some sort of degree or other.
1:08:00 Just doing their thing.
1:08:02 And then someone comes out all frazzled.
1:08:05 A.I. salon.
1:08:09 I think this is pretty cool.
1:08:12 Yeah, I think we'll do that one.
1:08:13 That's neat.
1:08:14 All right.
1:08:15 Beautiful.
1:08:17 Fantastic.
1:08:18 Let's do.
1:08:22 Let's do 800.
1:08:24 Boom. Boom.
1:08:25 Boom.
1:08:26 All right.
1:08:27 Back to this.
1:08:31 Builders belong seats at the table
1:08:33 from prototype to policy edge cases.
1:08:37 A stylized DC skyline with monument and
1:08:39 capital is minimal forms in the foreground.
1:08:43 Small scattered tiles, sticky notes float upward.
1:08:46 All right.
1:08:47 This sounds interesting. Whatever.
1:08:50 Go here.
1:08:51 Go here.
1:08:53 Go bang.
1:08:55 Go bang.
1:08:56 Go bang.
1:09:03 BFD.
1:09:05 That one's kind of cool, too.
1:09:15 I think that's the one.
1:09:17 Oh, you know what I'll do?
1:09:18 Let me do variations on this one.
1:09:20 We'll do strong variations and subtle variations.
1:09:24 All right.
1:09:36 It's kind of cool.
1:09:37 Like that.
1:09:44 So I think what I'm going to do, I'll go grab a couple of
1:09:51 more prompts, and I don't think it
1:09:54 matters which ones we match with which image.
1:09:58 So I'm just going to go, I'll name them a day.
1:10:00 Night Sky DC poster.
1:10:04 How are we doing on time?

1:10:23 This is good. Iconic readable. Great. Fantastic.
1:10:30 Bob tell him what he's won.
1:10:35 Again, it's not a game show.
1:10:39 There's really no one here wins anything.
1:10:44 Connection.

1:10:58 Comedy jokes. Enough.
1:11:01 Oh, I like these with the constellations.
1:11:08 Those are cool.
1:11:12 What's upscale this motherfucker subtle.
1:11:20 This one too, right?
1:11:23 Those are weird words.
1:11:24 And what building is that?
1:11:27 YouTube comment.
1:11:32 This will save live in my neighborhood.
1:11:35 I'd be happy to tell him he's fun.
1:11:41 (Laughing) Talon's cool too, let's upscale that one subtle.
1:11:46 (Sighing) All right.
1:11:55 Okay, so here's what we're gonna do.
1:11:56 We're just gonna go through these.
1:12:00 And just if we like anything, we're gonna upscale them.
1:12:03 (Clicking)
1:12:16 Interesting.
1:12:30 Yeah, these are all bad.
1:12:31 They were all bad, I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what.
1:12:37 Okay, we're gonna upscale this.
1:12:40 We'll go creative on this one.
1:12:43 We're gonna upscale this, creative.
1:12:48 I like that one, I'm gonna upscale that, creative.
1:12:52 I like that one, I'm gonna scale that subtle.
1:12:55 And if you're asking why am I
1:12:56 choosing subtle or creative in upscaling?
1:13:00 Sometimes I hate the results of
1:13:04 either one, so it's just kind of random.
1:13:09 That's kind of a stamp, but no, no, no.
1:13:14 Yes.
1:13:16 No, ooh, yes.
1:13:20 Moss, no.
1:13:22 Wait, I can do, I'll do subtle variations of that one.
1:13:29 (Clicking)
1:13:33 That one's cool.
1:13:37 Oh, these are the, are we in the upscales already?
1:13:39 Oh no, I did variations, that's what it was.
1:13:59 (Clicking) Like that one.
1:14:07 (Clicking)
1:14:21 All right, these are all my upscales.
1:14:22 Okay, all right, goody-vee.
1:14:25 So how many do I need?
1:14:26 I need Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
1:14:32 Wednesday, Thursday, seven, right?
1:14:37 So let's go grab seven, shall we?
1:14:41 Let's.
1:14:46 Okay, beautiful, that's fantastic.
1:14:50 I'll tell you what, it's really good.
1:14:53 It's really good, I'll tell you that.
1:14:57 It's fantastic.
1:14:59 Yeah, no, it's really good, it's awesome.
1:15:03 What you've done there, what you're doing here with these
1:15:06 downloads, I think it's solid, really solid.
1:15:11 Congratulations, you should be proud.
1:15:15 There's things to be proud of here.
1:15:18 They really wanna hear you, they really do.
1:15:26 (Humming)
1:15:33 I can't believe we got bullying warnings on TikTok.
1:15:39 (Laughing) TikTok's so fucking stupid.
1:15:46 Someone, someone, teach TikTok a sense of humor.
1:15:51 Please, someone, anyone, Bueller.
1:15:55 Unbelievable, that's cool.
1:16:02 All right, these I think we already had one of, yeah.
1:16:07 Okay, so let's go see how many images we got.
1:16:09 I think it's seven, one, two, three,
1:16:11 four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
1:16:14 There's one or two of the star ones that kind of overlap.
1:16:17 So let's grab all these, we're gonna make a new folder
1:16:22 inside Google Drive, my drive,
1:16:30 AI Salon, and then I'm gonna do new folder,
1:16:35 2026 DC, fly in, posts.
1:16:46 Look at me saving things, not just on the desktop.
1:16:50 Tell me I'm not growing.
1:16:52 You're growing all right, you keep growing like that.
1:16:55 Your whole butt's gonna be out pretty soon.
1:16:59 Okay, there's that, beautiful, fantastic.
1:17:02 All right, let's go make some posts.
1:17:06 Yeah, let's do it.
1:17:11 Go to scheduled posts.
1:17:13 This is the one that had Andy so upset.
1:17:16 I better seize the more text there.
1:17:19 I don't like that, just I'm going to DC.
1:17:21 It seems a little lazy.
1:17:23 For someone who wants to be seen,
1:17:26 what are you actually telling people, Kyle?
1:17:29 (Laughs) And she doesn't talk like that, by the way.
1:17:34 (Laughs) All right.
1:17:40 (Clears Throat) (Humming)
1:17:50 Oh wait, we gotta go get the text,
1:17:52 because I don't know what the text says.
1:17:53 Let's go get the text.
1:17:57 (Humming)
1:18:06 So this is Friday.
1:18:09 We're taking the salon to DC.
1:18:12 All right, bang.
1:18:16 Copy,
1:18:17 the salon.
1:18:22 Come on.
1:18:27 We're taking the salon to DC next week
1:18:29 when the dozen started flying to the sea.
1:18:38 (Sighs)
1:19:00 The people creating, the people.
1:19:08 (Sighs) Leveraging
1:19:22 AI to bring their ideas to life
1:19:29 in transformative ways.
1:19:40 Kyle, if you make these articles,
1:19:42 Brandon can duplicate them to the website.
1:19:45 Ah, okay.
1:19:47 Wait, we can also just copy and paste them too.
1:19:49 No, let me make it an article.
1:19:50 Is that this button?
1:19:52 Expand the article.
1:19:53 (Laughs) Look at that.
1:19:58 (Laughs) We don't need no stinging manuals.
1:20:03 (Laughs)
1:20:06 Okay.
1:20:09 This is great.
1:20:10 So we're taking the AI salon to DC.
1:20:13 So let's add an image, add header media.
1:20:17 Header image.
1:20:19 Let's go to,
1:20:22 we don't have it.
1:20:24 So that's gonna be here, gonna be here,
1:20:28 go here, go over here.
1:20:33 No, no.
1:20:34 That one's cool.
1:20:36 Maybe for first.
1:20:38 I think that one's the one.
1:20:39 We're going to DC.
1:20:41 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:20:42 Okay.
1:20:44 That's it.
1:20:45 Beautiful.
1:20:52 What?
1:20:59 Oh, come on.
1:21:00 Really mighty networks.
1:21:02 You can't take a mid journey image wholesale.
1:21:04 I gotta go.
1:21:09 Wait for it.
1:21:10 We might be okay.
1:21:18 We're okay.
1:21:21 (Laughs)
1:21:24 Save.
1:21:28 (Laughs) And I suppose we could
1:21:30 lose the, except, okay, there it is.
1:21:32 So now it showed up.
1:21:33 Beautiful.
1:21:34 We're taking this salon to DC next week where the,
1:21:39 let's see.
1:21:51 Let's see.
1:21:52 Flying into DC.
1:21:59 Hosted by the AI salon.
1:22:06 (Laughs) Myself
1:22:15 and Daisy Thomas.
1:22:37 Not for AI is coming panic theater. I don't like this.
1:22:40 I think that's bullshit.
1:22:44 Not for a photo op.
1:22:45 For real conversations, roundtables, congressional and
1:22:47 senate office meetings, set it up.
1:22:50 Okay, here's the thing.
1:22:51 This is what we mean.
1:22:54 People leveraging AI. Well, let's see.
1:22:57 (Mumbles)
1:23:00 So what we mean.
1:23:01 (Laughs) I'm losing this altogether.
1:23:12 Bring a founder, (Mumbles)
1:23:20 And we're, let's see.
1:23:22 Talking about
1:23:25 AI in an optimistic, optimistic, optimistic, optimistic.
1:23:32 Way.
1:23:42 Talking about AI readiness.
1:23:51 And even
1:23:56 our
1:23:58 mission.
1:24:04 Play first.
1:24:11 Let's put that on its own line
1:24:13 and let's make it a change style.
1:24:18 Let's make it a block quote.
1:24:22 I don't like how it's styled, but whatever.
1:24:26 If you're the type of person who wants AI to make humans more capable, not more capable. Okay.
1:24:29 AI to make humans more capable, not more replaceable.
1:24:32 Stay close.
1:24:33 I'll share the run a show.
1:24:35 Let's see if you're the type of person
1:24:38 who
1:24:40 thinks
1:24:42 it's important
1:24:47 for us to have a voice
1:24:52 at the table.
1:25:00 During these
1:25:08 important times, that's kind of
1:25:10 boring, but whatever, important times,
1:25:15 stay close.
1:25:21 I'll share the run of show
1:25:24 and the why behind
1:25:28 the
1:25:30 the AI
1:25:33 AI salon
1:25:35 DC fly in
1:25:40 all week.
1:25:42 Okay, this doesn't work.
1:25:46 Oh, we can make it a different color.
1:25:47 That could make it work.
1:25:48 Blue.
1:25:49 There you go.
1:25:50 All right, now it works.
1:25:51 Fine.
1:25:52 Okay, cool.
1:25:53 Good.
1:25:54 Andy, yes.
1:25:57 Brandon, I just meant how you usually copy a few posts.
1:26:00 Wait, I can what?
1:26:05 This is sexy.
1:26:06 Okay, good.
1:26:07 Yeah, this is good, right?
1:26:10 Let's see.
1:26:12 Next week, let's see.
1:26:15 I'm excited to share

1:26:45 Let's see AI, AI
1:26:48 policy

1:26:57 education
1:27:00 event exclamation point.
1:27:02 Next week, more than a dozen AI startup founders are flying
1:27:05 to Washington DC hosted by the
1:27:07 I salon myself and Daisy Thomas.
1:27:11 Not for a photo op for real conversations.
1:27:13 Here's the thing I keep coming back to the future of AI
1:27:15 policy can't be written by only the
1:27:17 largest companies and the loudest think tanks.
1:27:19 It has to include people actually building the people
1:27:21 creating the people leveraging AI to bring
1:27:23 their ideas to life in transformative ways.
1:27:26 Yes, that's good.
1:27:28 We're bringing founders who can talk about infrastructure
1:27:31 accessibility trust safety, creativity, productivity and
1:27:34 what happens when a promising tool meets not messy human
1:27:38 reality when a promising tool meets
1:27:43 human centric
1:27:52 thoughtful
1:27:54 AI exploration.
1:28:00 There you go.
1:28:02 We're talking about AI in an optimistic way.
1:28:04 We're talking about AI readiness
1:28:08 and even our mission.
1:28:09 Play first, create excellence, generously lead.
1:28:11 If you're the type of person that thinks it's important for
1:28:12 us to have a voice at the table
1:28:14 during these important times, stay close.
1:28:16 All right.
1:28:17 Boom.
1:28:18 Wait, if I say post here,
1:28:22 it's not gonna post it, right?
1:28:26 audio cuts out) Now my article is live, dammit.
1:28:31 Can I unmake it live?
1:28:39 Schedule.
1:28:40 I know it was already scheduled.
1:28:42 I was editing a thing that was already a thing.
1:28:45 So see, this is why we can't have nice things.
1:28:50 Want me to fix it?
1:28:51 Yes.
1:28:52 Please go fix that and I'll schedule the next one.
1:28:55 Okay, great.
1:28:57 Oh, oh, cause it posted it live.
1:28:58 Can you go fix that? Yeah.
1:28:59 That would be beautiful.
1:29:00 Thank you, Andy.
1:29:01 I'm gonna try to get these other ones done quick. All right.
1:29:04 And I don't think I'll do them all tonight cause I think
1:29:06 it's gonna take too long cause I'm having to rewrite these.
1:29:09 But let's go get the next one.
1:29:11 Saturday, what this flying is really for.
1:29:16 Okay.
1:29:19 Go back here.
1:29:21 We're gonna go, these are salon announcements.
1:29:25 Yes.
1:29:29 Share a post, make it an art, right?
1:29:33 Boom.
1:29:34 And then make it an article.
1:29:35 Wait, why can I not make it an article?
1:29:37 I need to add an image to it.
1:29:49 Oh, God damn it.
1:30:09 Jesus Christ.
1:30:12 I've got to export these all as JPEGs.
1:30:21 JPEG.
1:30:24 I'm gonna go the same folder, DC flying posts.
1:30:27 When do you want this scheduled for?
1:30:28 That one schedule that one for Friday at 6.30 AM.
1:30:32 Thank you.
1:31:15 Champion wheezing)
1:31:19 (Laughs) I know he shouldn't be
1:31:23 laughing at that, but I find it funny.
1:31:29 And another thing, he was sort of laughing at his dog.
1:31:32 His dog could have a medical
1:31:33 condition and he was laughing at it.
1:31:36 I don't know.
1:31:37 There was some pornographic activity and
1:31:40 then a lot of language, lot of language.
1:31:43 Some of it was disturbing.
1:31:45 Yes, they felt triggered.
1:31:47 And then I think the thing that really got me upset
1:31:50 was he said his dog was wheezing and
1:31:52 then he started laughing like it was funny.
1:31:55 There's nothing funny about a dog wheezing.
1:31:58 This is your second bullying strike.
1:32:02 You need to do it or it'll come up as me.
1:32:04 Okay.
1:32:05 All right, so let me go try to fix this.
1:32:07 Hang on, let me get rid of this thing.
1:32:11 Sydney, that's Sydney.
1:32:13 All right, let's get rid of this.
1:32:15 I got to figure out why that's not
1:32:16 allowing me to post that as an article.
1:32:19 So let me go to salon announcements.
1:32:22 Where did it go?
1:32:24 Oh, I need to schedule it?
1:32:26 Wait, where?
1:32:28 Huh?
1:32:29 Scheduled posts.
1:32:33 It's not there.
1:32:35 Everything yours.
1:32:37 TikTok pin.
1:32:38 I spoke to an AI group tonight
1:32:40 and was bragging about all of you.
1:32:42 Nice.
1:32:44 They were amazed that we've been together this long.
1:32:48 Yeah, that's amazing.
1:32:49 That's really cool.
1:32:50 Go to drafts.
1:32:52 Okay.
1:32:54 She's assuming I know where drafts is.
1:32:56 Drafts, look at that.
1:32:59 Nothing there.
1:33:04 Do I need to log in as AI salon?
1:33:13 I can redo it.
1:33:17 Can you just copy and paste the
1:33:21 text and I can just make a new article.
1:33:26 No, don't redo it.
1:33:32 Scheduled posts, not there.
1:33:34 Drafts, not there.
1:33:44 But wait, well, let me know if you figure that out.
1:33:49 If I go here and I want to share a post,
1:33:53 why can I not turn this into an article?
1:34:24 (Keyboard Clacking) No, that was the JPEG.
1:34:37 That one's not bigger than 25 megabytes.
1:34:40 Can't be.
1:34:41 No way.
1:34:42 It's not.
1:34:46 Go back to scheduled posts and hit everything.
1:34:48 I did.
1:34:51 I did, I promise. I did.
1:34:53 Scheduled posts, yours, everything.
1:34:58 I got nothing.
1:35:07 Refresh, that's a good idea.
1:35:12 Yeah, there we go.
1:35:13 Okay.
1:35:14 So now what I need to do is what?
1:35:17 Edit.
1:35:23 (Beep) Rescheduled post.
1:35:29 So the 16th at 8.30 AM.
1:35:37 No, 6.30 AM mountain time.
1:35:41 Scheduled post.
1:35:44 Notify.
1:35:46 Article will go live at 6.30 AM,
1:35:49 but it's written by you.
1:35:53 Can I change ownership?
1:36:01 Move, no.
1:36:11 I have to duplicate it.
1:36:13 Okay.
1:36:19 (Beep)
1:36:26 I think I'm just gonna copy it all.
1:36:28 Hang on.
1:36:30 Just gonna do this.
1:36:33 Copy, cancel.
1:36:41 All right, so we'll delete that at some point.
1:36:44 But wait, I need remedial help still.
1:36:47 This is, it seems simple.
1:36:49 It seems simple upfront, didn't it?
1:36:51 But now weird shit's happening.
1:36:53 I can't turn it into an article.
1:36:55 Why is that?
1:36:56 So if I click on schedule post,
1:37:02 welcome to Mighty Networks Learning Lab, really.
1:37:05 I type, schedule post, I type in all, I put in all that.
1:37:14 Enable comments.
1:37:17 There's no article icon.
1:37:20 I can insert emojis.
1:37:22 What the fuck?
1:37:27 Oh, I need to say create, that's what it is.
1:37:31 I need to create an article.
1:37:34 Yeah, go to the top and hit create.
1:37:36 Okay.
1:37:40 Community feed, create article, great.
1:37:43 Oh, good, and it kept the formatting, nice. Boom.
1:37:47 And then I can save this as a draft, right?
1:37:52 Save draft.
1:37:54 Oops, title can't be blank.
1:37:57 Butt crack.
1:38:02 Sorry, TikTok.
1:38:04 I'm bullying again.
1:38:07 Save draft.
1:38:08 (Beep) Schedule post.
1:38:16 We're taking the salon to DC.
1:38:20 All right.
1:38:22 Copy.
1:38:26 Get out of there, go into my drafts.
1:38:30 Go into butt crack.
1:38:33 (Laughs) Paste.
1:38:34 (Laughs) Go into butt crack.
1:38:40 I cracked myself up.
1:38:44 Pun intended.
1:38:48 Come on.
1:38:51 Open.
1:38:56 Beautiful, beautiful, fantastic.
1:39:00 Yeah, that's fantastic, that looks great.
1:39:03 And then I'm gonna put a thing down here,
1:39:06 Kyle Shannon, because they wanna hear from me.
1:39:10 I'm gonna let them know, I wrote this.
1:39:13 Schedule post.
1:39:17 16th, 6.30 a.m.
1:39:19 This is, it's all, I love it
1:39:21 when a good plan comes together.
1:39:23 Now you've already got something scheduled then.
1:39:24 You can't schedule two things at the same time.
1:39:26 You're gonna have to go and delete the thing.
1:39:29 (Laughs) Scheduled posts.
1:39:33 Go to scheduled post.
1:39:34 Now, this one from Andy Scarantino, that's gotta go.
1:39:38 It's just not acceptable.
1:39:40 So here's what we do.
1:39:41 Boom, she's gone.
1:39:44 Or not.
1:39:45 Do you want to delete the thing?
1:39:47 Yes.
1:39:49 Did I do PM? That's PM.
1:39:51 Can I reschedule?
1:39:52 Reschedule post.
1:39:53 Yes, ma'am, you are correct.
1:39:57 Thank God.
1:39:58 You know.
1:39:59 (Laughs)
1:40:01 This is a channel where some
1:40:04 percentage of my brain is brilliant.
1:40:08 And then the rest is really compensated for by all of you.
1:40:15 (Laughs) Whoo, we did it.
1:40:19 Okay, now I know what I'm doing.
1:40:21 Okay, so I go back to community feed.
1:40:22 I go create, I go article.
1:40:25 Boom.
1:40:26 Good.
1:40:27 Flippin' Lord.
1:40:29 Copy that article.
1:40:30 Go back here.
1:40:32 Type it in, go bang.
1:40:33 Go to the top, grab this.
1:40:38 Copy, throw that in a title block.
1:40:41 Fantastic.
1:40:42 Let's go to the header.
1:40:45 That's the one I want.
1:40:47 Boom.
1:40:48 See, we're moving fast now.
1:40:52 Network error.
1:40:53 Nice.
1:40:55 That's really awesome there, Mighty Networks.
1:41:00 A two megabyte image, it's choking you.
1:41:03 I wanna know more about DC.
1:41:05 Gareth Hood's coming in hot.
1:41:10 (Laughs) I'd rather do outreach than watch this.
1:41:20 (Laughs)
1:41:26 No, this is good practice.
1:41:30 I have to learn my stuffs.
1:41:32 Oh look, here's the next article.
1:41:37 I copied too many.
1:41:43 Okay.
1:41:46 I'm gonna put Kyle Shannon.
1:41:51 All right, let's read this.
1:41:52 All right, let's read this, what the fly-in's really for.
1:41:58 Gonna delete this.
1:42:05 The DC fly-in sounds fancy
1:42:06 until you remember the actual job.
1:42:08 Walk into a building full of overworked
1:42:09 staffers and try to be useful in 12 minutes.
1:42:12 That's about right.
1:42:13 So we're not going to DC to perform certainty.
1:42:16 We're going to DC to build relationships.
1:42:23 And open legislators' eyes
1:42:33 to the idea that people in companies,
1:42:44 people in startups
1:42:51 are finding great opportunity with AI.
1:43:07 Opportunity, opportunity with AI.
1:43:11 To tell the truth about what's working, what's breaking and
1:43:15 what we're learning, building AI products in the wild, the
1:43:17 Aislan has always been about the
1:43:18 practice, not vibes, not hype practice.
1:43:22 That's why our lens is the AI
1:43:23 readiness cycle, play first, create excellence.
1:43:29 These are wrong.
1:43:30 Let's go get the real ones of those.
1:43:33 So let's save this as a draft.
1:43:37 Get.
1:43:40 (Vocalizing)
1:43:44 (Vocalizing)
1:44:02 (Vocalizing) Adding three, text.
1:44:46 (Vocalizing)
1:44:56 What are colors?
1:45:00 Save draft, save draft.
1:45:04 Yellow, blue, purple.
1:45:07 (Vocalizing)
1:45:09 (Vocalizing)
1:45:14 So this is kind of an orangey thing.
1:45:18 So we got orange,
1:45:21 and then we'll make this one blue, blue.
1:45:24 And then we'll make this one purple.
1:45:26 See what I did there, kids?
1:45:29 I just made it like it is.
1:45:33 You know what I'm saying?
1:45:34 Right.
1:45:35 Polishes should be built with the same posture.
1:45:37 Next week we'll be in rooms where decisions get shaped.
1:45:41 We're not going to get, going to bring, wait, we're going
1:45:44 to bring grounded stories, sharp questions and founders who
1:45:46 are doing work, not just commenting on it.
1:45:48 Beautiful.
1:45:49 All right, what the fly-in is really for.
1:45:52 Let's make these capital like it's an
1:45:54 actual headline because it's an article now.
1:45:58 So Brandon doesn't have to copy and paste it.
1:46:03 Brandon's like, wait, what?
1:46:04 What am I copying, pasting?
1:46:06 Schedule posts.
1:46:07 So this is the third one, right?
1:46:10 So this is Sunday the 18th, I think.
1:46:16 I don't remember.
1:46:19 We'll do these all at 6.30 a.m.
1:46:27 I'd rather just do them than watch this.
1:46:29 You know, you can go to bed.
1:46:38 Let's close the loop on the OG post.
1:46:43 On the one that we did asking
1:46:44 for people to post their story.
1:46:50 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
1:46:54 Okay, so now let's go look at scheduled posts.
1:46:59 So we've got this one on the 16th, this one on the 18th.
1:47:05 Where did I, did I lose one?
1:47:07 Do I have another one in drafts?
1:47:10 I lost one, fuck.
1:47:14 I'm exhausted, okay.
1:47:18 So we lost the, what the fly-in's really for.
1:47:20 That one we got.
1:47:21 Okay, so what we're missing is Sunday the 18th.
1:47:27 Okay, copy.
1:47:29 Let's go back here.
1:47:30 Let's go to scheduled.
1:47:33 I'm like a fucking master now.
1:47:35 I'm gonna delete this one.
1:47:37 Good call, producer Borman, that's gone.
1:47:40 Let's reschedule this one for the right day.
1:47:43 That's the 17th scheduled post notified.
1:47:50 And then we're gonna go back to salon announcements and
1:47:54 we're gonna go create article.
1:48:00 See, we're just flying now.
1:48:04 If you're building, you belong in the conversation.
1:48:07 I'm gonna say creating.
1:48:13 If you're creating, you belong in the conversation.
1:48:19 If you're creating,
1:48:23 you belong in the conversation.
1:48:30 Conversation, think about it.
1:48:36 All right, so this one's about making shit.
1:48:42 I keep thinking about how many AI conversations are
1:48:44 happening about creators and builders, creators and
1:48:48 builders without the builders in the room.
1:48:55 Here's what I'm most excited about for next week.
1:48:58 We're bringing a cross section of founders to DC, people
1:49:00 bringing very different domains so
1:49:02 the conversations aren't abstract.
1:49:05 Should probably put a real example in there because AI
1:49:10 isn't one thing, it's a thousand specific choices.
1:49:13 I hate that, that's gone.
1:49:18 The S-lens applies here too.
1:49:20 You don't get better by declaring a stance.
1:49:22 You get better by pressure testing of smart people
1:49:25 in the arena, collaborating and holding each other
1:49:34 to higher standards.
1:49:40 This week I'll start sharing specific moments we're
1:49:43 convening and if you care about practical AI readiness,
1:49:47 this is what it looks like, Kyle, Shannon.
1:49:49 Okay, done, done.
1:49:53 This is Sunday the 18th, boom, 6.30 a.m.
1:50:01 Okay, it's 10 o'clock, I'm gonna let you go.
1:50:06 We're gonna notify, I got three of them
1:50:08 posted so I will finish those up tomorrow.
1:50:14 My scheduled posts.
1:50:16 Oh, I didn't put a picture in that one.
1:50:18 Edit, let's go get a picture.
1:50:20 If you're creating, let's go get us one
1:50:22 of them and they're creative pictures.
1:50:25 That's ee, ee, ee, ee, ee.
1:50:30 Oh, we don't have a creative one.
1:50:31 That one's creative, isn't it?
1:50:33 All right, we'll do that one.
1:50:37 Boom, network error.
1:50:41 Yeah, no, I know.
1:50:43 Cause it's a two megabyte file.
1:50:47 It's really stressing out the servers.
1:50:49 I know, I get it, I get it.
1:50:52 I know, I know, I wouldn't allow.
1:51:04 Beautiful.
1:51:17 That's good.
1:51:18 Yeah.
1:51:21 Reschedule, that's good, schedule.
1:51:25 All right, look at that, boom.
1:51:33 (Laughing) Okay, good, good Lord.
1:51:38 It was all good though, it was all good.
1:51:41 For me, there's a much bigger lesson here.
1:51:44 I just gotta get myself out in the fucking world.
1:51:48 (Sighing) You're like, but Kyle,
1:51:51 you go live five nights, I know.
1:51:54 And that does not mean I am conscious
1:52:00 and putting myself out in the world.
1:52:03 So, can't wait to get these 6.30 AM things.
1:52:07 There'll be 8.30 for you.
1:52:11 There'll be, that's, I wanna do 8.30 East Coast time.
1:52:15 All right, we're taking the salon to DC.
1:52:20 This one needs to have a little,
1:52:24 a reminder that we're taking people to DC.
1:52:27 Let's add that in now.
1:52:29 How do I edit this?
1:52:31 Edit.
1:52:34 Edit.
1:52:37 Can I edit?
1:52:38 Yeah.
1:52:40 Okay. I'm starting this week.
1:52:54 Daisy Thomas,
1:52:59 that I will be in Washington, DC.
1:53:11 Representing the P.I. salon
1:53:19 for a big,
1:53:24 for our third
1:53:28 flying exclamation point.
1:53:33 I keep thinking about, okay, that's good.
1:53:36 Save.
1:53:38 Notify.
1:53:40 Save.
1:53:41 Okay. Beautiful.
1:53:44 I would consider that complete.
1:53:47 We got three days in there.
1:53:50 Boom.
1:53:51 All right.
1:53:54 This is why it took me so long to do Mad Lives.
1:53:57 I totally get it now.
1:53:59 Oh man.
1:54:01 It was great.
1:54:02 This was part of your practice.
1:54:03 This is very much part of my practice. Very cool.
1:54:06 You know, I'm making light of the fact that, I have lived
1:54:10 my life terrified to actually reach out.
1:54:16 That's a pretty big revelation.
1:54:19 And I think practicing it is the way through.
1:54:24 I just have to do the work, but I have to let me
1:54:32 create this new reality that's already existed.
1:54:36 It just didn't exist in my head.
1:54:38 All these people out there waiting for me to show up and
1:54:43 I'm like, yeah, I'll be over here in the corner.
1:54:48 New TikTok pin.
1:54:49 Mary Mary, you and your team,
1:54:50 Kyle, are doing such important work.
1:54:52 Please understand.
1:54:53 Oh, thank you so much.
1:54:54 Please understand this.
1:54:57 I appreciate that.
1:54:58 I really do.
1:54:59 I really appreciate you saying that.
1:55:03 It is important work.
1:55:09 It's, I have a very cynical view about politics.
1:55:15 And whenever I do these meetings,
1:55:21 I recognize that it's the shit we
1:55:25 talk about in here all the time.
1:55:27 The thing that seems obvious to me,
1:55:31 like putting humans at the center of the conversation and
1:55:34 people thoughtfully using AI to transform their lives.
1:55:37 That's what we do every day.
1:55:38 It's what we talk about every day.
1:55:41 When I talk about this in those conversations in DC,
1:55:47 no one is talking about it like this.
1:55:51 No one.
1:55:52 Everyone's just like, the AI is gonna kill us.
1:55:54 Make it illegal.
1:55:56 It's just like, Jesus Christ.
1:56:00 So thank you.
1:56:01 I appreciate that.
1:56:02 Yeah, it is important.
1:56:03 And it's worth fucking talking about.
1:56:05 So we're gonna do that now.
1:56:12 You're shaping the future of
1:56:13 AI for us and the policies suck.
1:56:15 The policies beyond suck.
1:56:17 They're just like, no one knows.
1:56:19 No one fucking even knows what AI is.
1:56:21 Much like writing good legislation about it.
1:56:25 Anyway, all right.
1:56:27 I'm out of here.
