12/3/2025 - Preparing for a Future Where AI Makes Work Optional

Transcript

1. 0:07Oh yeah, good people. Good people of the Tik Tok. What is happening? What is shaking? What is going down?
2. 0:21Look at that hair. That's got some New York City grime in it. It's got some sublace scunge. Oh man, are you doing some painting and
3. 0:35decorating? Well, the ladder was there last night and I moved it and it just looked like I was in prison. So now it
4. 0:41looks like I'm on a construction site, which I think is more interesting. If I were actually in prison, that would
5. 0:50be interesting. But, you know, it's just a new apartment. And by new, you know, it was new in 1947.
6. 1:17And breathe. Everybody breathe. Welcome. Welcome to the AI learning lab. We've got one person on Tik Tok or YouTube. We got six people here,
7. 1:33but we're live on YouTube. If you want to head over there, you can. We got stuff going on. Um Yan Brandon, um any free apartment
8. 1:45in New York that's not ratinfested is good. Seriously, man. This the place is really nice. It's a nice building.
9. 1:53Um, and it's yeah, like a free place to to sleep. Although tomorrow I got nothing. So I think tomorrow I'm going
10. 2:01to an event at Lincoln Center and then I assume I'm going to drinks after and then after that I have to go up to the Bronx, come back down
11. 2:17uh in the morning for a morning meeting. Yeah. So, we'll see. I'll figure it out. Um,
12. 2:36all right. Let's see. Let's switch the cameras. Um, one funny thing that that young Brandon did is while I was doing my Subway Live,
13. 2:53Brandon was vibe coding. Brandon vibe coded a Subway rat game. So, while we didn't see any real rats,
14. 3:09Um, some virtual rats were harmed in the making of this game. Brandon, you want to come up here and show your show your
15. 3:16game and tell the good people how they can make a rat game? >> Yeah. So, as you were sitting there h trying to uh not awkwardly film people
16. 3:26on the reverse camera, uh, I was and while we were going through our signal losses, I'm like, I bet this this feels
17. 3:32like a video game where you just have to go through the subway system and avoid rats. I mean, it's basically Pitfall or
18. 3:39Super Mario with the the mushroom guys, but I as asked to make an 8-bit game where a player has to run through an NYC
19. 3:46subway system. This is Gemini, by the way. Uh, jumping over rats and fighting other passengers. Gameplay should feel
20. 3:52like pitfall. Call it Subway Surfer. So, it did. And I had to give it um one little quick redirection here. But this
21. 3:59is the second attempt. And uh it's pretty good. It's pretty playable. I mean, it's very basic, but you can jump
22. 4:06on top of the subways cars. You have to you can shoot the other passengers uh just like in real life. And uh you can
23. 4:14jump over top of the rat or if you jump on top >> you can't jump over Yeah, you can jump over the rat. >> No, but on it and kill it.
24. 4:22>> Uh no, it will it will uh give you rabies and you will lose a life. >> Well, you Oh, you know, here's two two
25. 4:28changes, Dad. One is you should be able to jump on it and kill it, but you should also if you kill a rat with
26. 4:35that's carrying pizza, a slice of pizza, you get a bonus point. >> Yeah, you should be able to pick up the
27. 4:41pizza needed or something like that. >> All right. Well, if you can handle the Well, we're going to switch the Tik Tok
28. 4:45cams because you don't have your construction paper, but uh in between producing, I might uh >> I might uh come up with a round two. And
29. 4:55and this is just on Gemini Canvas. And what I can do is I can share this. I'll show this in irregulars once we uh once it's updated.
30. 5:02>> Okay. Once you once you get it to world class. >> Yes. Um Okay. So, uh we'll wait for more people to get in here for I'll I'll talk
31. 5:16promo stuff. Um who's got any questions? I had a really AI AI AI. We've made it possible to get a domain
32. 5:27AI entertainment in blockchain. Pay once only. Please do not spam the comments with ads. Thank you.
33. 5:44AI summary. AI learning lesson. Ask about AI. Who made the AI summary bot? Who made it? Who made it and made it come to my
34. 5:59lives? I like it. I don't think it's a bad thing. I think it's a good thing. I just want to know. Hey, Reggie, did you
35. 6:05make the AI bot? I appreciate you looking for a rat even though you missed your turn to stop. Yeah, I went I went
36. 6:12two blocks I went two blocks past the apartment, Danielle. It wasn't just an ad. It's a protection of an asset. But okay, it's still
37. 6:28marketing. So, here's the deal. If you want to be in here, you're called AI Entertainment. This is the AI learning
38. 6:32lab. If you want to be in here and you want to support other people and figuring out how to use AI, things like
39. 6:37that, great. Um, but just throwing up marketing stuff's not cool. Um, I don't even see anything from the bot really.
40. 6:46Oh, maybe it's a So, let's see. the the AI bot is right above it's right below it's actually right below AI
41. 6:54Entertainment's thing that I yelled at them for. Um we've made it possible to get a domain in AI entertainment. Look for
42. 7:01that post and then what I see is right below that is AI summary and then it says AI learning lesson ask about AI.
43. 7:11I saw it then it disappeared. It may just be you. Oh, maybe it's a Tik Tok thing. I don't know. I like if it's a Tik Tok thing, it's kind of
44. 7:21useless because it's like it's summarizing what I've already said and then telling me to recap what I said, which if I'm if I am completely
45. 7:34incoherent might not be a bad thing. Oh, no. I I found it and pinned it for a second. Oh, okay. Vicki, you're on the
46. 7:43Tik Tok side tonight. Yay. Um, who's got questions about AI? Who's got
47. 7:57questions? It's Dar. Dar the AI star or Tar Dar the Tik Tok star. Um, it's so funny. Last year I was so
48. 8:12excited about 12 Days of Shipmas. So 12 days of new chatbt products and there was all this speculation, all this
49. 8:20excitement and they're doing the same thing this year and no one seems to give a [ __ ] AI seems to have lost their or open AI
50. 8:30seems to have lost their way a bit. Google seems to be flying high right now. Um, this is something I said on uh we
51. 8:43did today. We did the AI readiness project podcast had a really good guest on and after the podcast we continued the
52. 8:53conversation a little bit and and something struck me that I'm I'm feeling and the thing that I'm feeling is that there are a lot of folks
53. 9:08in our community there are a lot of folks in the AI world and then I think there's a lot of folks in general
54. 9:23that are talking about our role with AI as a requirement
55. 9:38to get good work. And I do not believe that to be true. Um, at present it is, but what I'm what
56. 9:56I'm starting to notice is that there's a lot of people talking about human in the loop was the early version
57. 10:04of it, but but talking a lot about, you know, we're there to refine and curate and do all this stuff with the AI.
58. 10:14I I don't think that's going to be our job for long. I I mean I think it's going to be two years, three years,
59. 10:24but when when we hit AGI and when we hit recursive self-improvement where the AGI gets better quickly, uh these these tools are going to get
60. 10:40remarkably good. Um, and so there's a part of me that's like I'm I'm like preemptively sad about that. And I'm not sad because we as humans
61. 10:55won't figure it out. We'll figure it out. We're humans. We'll we'll find new new ways to be miserable about something.
62. 11:09We'll find new ways to to, you know, find things to do. But I I guess the reason I'm saying this is just kind of do an inventory of how
63. 11:23you know your language, how you talk. Maybe if you've put together programs or trainings or things like that, if
64. 11:29they're kind of based on the premise that we're always going to be necessary, um just keep out of your peripheral vision,
65. 11:40pay attention to activity that might start to feel like that's changing. Don't get don't get stuck in that
66. 11:46because I think I I think a lot of people are going to get stuck in that and and it's going to blindside them.
67. 11:52So, I know that's kind of a depressing thought, but and then and then and then I start to wonder, wow, what's what's life going to
68. 12:02be like when we have tools that are so good that it is we can choose to participate with them, right? We'll always have that
69. 12:11option. I mean, we can always go back to writing with pens and papers. We can always go back to writing with a word
70. 12:16processor. We can always go back to just writing with bake basic chatpt. But imagine we're in a stage where you
71. 12:25can speak a feature film into existence and it's great. You can speak a novel into existence and it's great. You can
72. 12:33speak a business plan into existence and it's perfect and nuanced and sophisticated and easy to understand
73. 12:42and instantly implementable. And in fact, not only does it write a business plan, an agent starts executing it. Me
74. 12:52and my family were talking about the Jetsons. Yeah, Carolyn. I you know the we're kind of living. We're close
75. 13:03like it's coming faster than I thought it would. We don't quite have flying cars yet, but we certainly have drones
76. 13:12and we've got, you know, drones that look like cars. Um, the Tesla Roadster is apparently going to have some sort of
77. 13:19levitating air burst kind of technology that will blast it off the ground, which who knows what the hell's purpose that
78. 13:29serves other than it's cool. Uh, so we're we're close on the flying cars, but but yeah, like we're surprisingly close to the Jetsons.
79. 13:42The humanoid robots probably within two years are going to be good enough good enough to have in our homes.
80. 13:50You know, there'll be a novelty at first and your rich douchebag friend down the block will have the first robot and
81. 13:56everybody will go over to visit visit it and pretend like they don't think that Jason's a [ __ ] just so they can see his robot. They'll
82. 14:06be like, "I'll wait for the next version." Yeah, I don't need a robot. And then and then the next Christmas
83. 14:14under the tree will be four robots, one for each kid and the grandmother. And the grandmother has the special companionship upgrade
84. 14:27with little hard eyes. Grandma's a little lonely.
85. 14:42My god, I'm I am a little punchy as they say. That's pretty funny though. Um,
86. 15:00but we the so when we were talking to these two guys tonight that were asking about AI and they were they were genuinely
87. 15:08curious. One was a creative director in an agency. One worked for Door Dash as some sort of business development guy.
88. 15:15And the creative director at one point, you know, said, "Do you have any fears? What's your fear?" And my biggest fear with AI
89. 15:27is that we we go to this place where the machines can do everything. And and you know this is
90. 15:41the place that I'm talking about is probably like seven to 10 years away. But let's assume we've gone through the
91. 15:47the rough patch of getting to universal basic income or universal high income is what Elon Musk calls it. Universal basic
92. 15:58compute is what Sam Alman calls it doesn't [ __ ] matter at some point assuming the trajectory continues the
93. 16:08productivity is going to be higher than the people required to like right now here's productivity here's the people
94. 16:14required to make it and at some point those two things are going to do this they're going to diverge and if they diverge quickly enough
95. 16:22um you know we'll end up with universal basic income and all that sort of And so I think that's going to happen.
96. 16:29Who knows when? Doesn't matter. But the risk as people get laid off and they don't have places to work and then as that gap
97. 16:40is big enough that we actually get taken care of to some degree, that we have enough money that that there's enough prosperity
98. 16:49on the upside to make sure that we're all taken care of. What do we do? If you just think, I'm just going to sit
99. 17:01around in a hammock, that's going to get old really quick, right? One of the most dangerous time in a person's life is
100. 17:08when they lose purpose. When you lose purpose, right? When a spouse dies, when you know you leave a company or
101. 17:18sell a company. I sold agency.com in 2002. I was depressed for a decade. a decade. I tried to start new businesses, but my
102. 17:29heart wasn't in it. I lost my purpose and a huge amount of people losing their purpose. That's the thing that scares me
103. 17:43the most. The fear of AI is holding many back. I wonder if they still fear Photoshop. Yeah, I mean, Rej, that's a
104. 17:50good point. I mean it's it's just a technology but I I think the fear of AI is is more fundamental than just another technology right the
105. 18:01worldwide web was just another technology Photoshop to a degree was just another technology the internet was
106. 18:07profound connecting many computers right that allowed for Moors law to or uh uh the metaf is it the metaf effect the the network effect
107. 18:18to happen. So that was pretty profound. The personal computer itself was pretty profound. The computer itself was pretty profound.
108. 18:27But AI is a different thing. AI is for the first time not making the work we do more efficient. It is doing the work right.
109. 18:40It has got the knowledge. It has got the skills. It has got the capacity. And I know if you're looking at it
110. 18:48through today's lens, you're like, "Ah, it's very janky, Kyle. We still need a lot of humans in there to fix it up,
111. 18:54right? It's not it's not perfect." And I don't know why you talk like that. But you do. I mean, that's just who you are.
112. 19:03And nobody likes that face, but that's on you. Well, that's rude. I don't know why you look like Al Franken. I don't
113. 19:26um we have to reinvent ourselves. We do. We have to reinvent ourselves. And and I think that what excites me about this community is
114. 19:38that this community is are people who are excited to reinvent themselves. Um I don't hear a lot of people talking
115. 19:51about this. I don't hear a lot of people talking about it. AI summary AI's future impact debate its risks.
116. 20:02Does everyone see AI summary right now? I I bet it is a Tik Tok thing. It must be a Tik Tok thing. It's kind of annoying.
117. 20:12Disney princess. Hello, Disney princess. Tobias is in the house. Nope, not seeing it. Okay, interesting. Yeah, that's just
118. 20:19to me then. All right, fine. Okay, let's see what happens in the next 5 years. It's not light years away. It ain't that far away.
119. 20:33Five years. It ain't that far away. And here's the thing. If you're in a job right now, if you're in a job or if you're in a
120. 20:48mental mode where you're just like, I just punch the clock. I just let them tell me what to do. If you're not engaged engaged critically
121. 21:03crit critical thinking wise in your job. If your job is like a cog in a wheel just repetitive data entry or something like that.
122. 21:19And and you're not outside of work engaging those muscles of creativity and critical thinking and self-reflection
123. 21:32and coming up with ideas and being ambitious about them and being curious and and creating. If you're not in the habit of creating,
124. 21:46that's what I would work on right now. And you can use AI, but I like I almost I almost feel like it doesn't [ __ ] matter.
125. 21:58Like like Vickiy's got her whole 3D printing thing. And I mean Vickiy's got a ton of other stuff, but like the 3D
126. 22:06printing thing is being augmented by AI. She can make models herself now quickly using AI and tossing them into tools and
127. 22:14things like that. So there's there's cool stuff, but there but like she she can also just do her, you know, CAD skills and or or just go to
128. 22:26Thingiverse and get models and print them and choose filaments and, you know, she's geeked out enough on the core
129. 22:33technology that she knows how they work and she knows what filaments look like and what they do. So she can just be in a in a creator
130. 22:42mode and mindset without having to think about AI. And if you if you don't have that in your life, if you don't have some version of
131. 22:54pick up the crocheting needles, write a novel, um start a business, start a invent a new kind of pizza, uh invent a new kind of math,
132. 23:07I don't know. I'd get that going. I'd get that going. Feels important to me because otherwise if work becomes optional and you opt out
133. 23:17of it and you don't have purpose, you don't have a sense of who you are and what you want, I think it's going to suck.
134. 23:27Math on pizzas. Well, they are pie 3.1415 if you know what I mean. It's a different kind of pie. It doesn't have an E. You see, that's
135. 23:41the comedy part. You thought I was talking about pizza pie. I was just talking because it's round. It's a circle. 360 degrees. 3.145.
136. 23:54Oh, I love math comedy. Dundler Clump. Dunder Clump. UBI will never arrive in the USA. If that type of
137. 24:07mechanism would exist, there would be no trillionaires, billionaires in the USA today. Um, here's where I'll push back on you, Dunderclump.
138. 24:17I guess is that a Dunder Mifflin thing? Because it's a very funny name. Um, first of all, using the word never in
139. 24:25the age of AI, I think is there's my first there's my first signal. um that that might just be a trope that
140. 24:35that that you're just saying. You're just saying that [ __ ] Um I don't disagree with you that the billionaires and trillionaires
141. 24:44have no interest, zero interest in giving up any of their upside profitability. However, do you remember back in 2020 around March
142. 24:59when on a single day or maybe it was two days the entire globe decided to stop going to work and we just did it.
143. 25:14There was a precipitating event that had enough risk in it that we took a hundred years of behavior and we just changed it
144. 25:28overnight. Boom. If AI's gain in productivity is linear and it really doesn't reduce the
145. 25:43workforce by much, let's say that, you know, here's our GDP growth and then AI causes a 2% dip, incremental dip on top of
146. 25:55existing unemployment. So we go from whatever four to six and and you know GDP is going like that. You're
147. 26:07absolutely right. You're absolutely right. If if it if it takes as long as the industrial revolution, so when the steam
148. 26:19engine came out, it was 40 or 50 years before 80% of farmers were eliminated. So that's like what is it two and a half
149. 26:28generations? Is it 20 years for a generation? 20 25 years. I don't know. I don't know how that works. I think it's
150. 26:3320th. Aren't there five generations in a century? So over two and a half generations, the steam engine replaced 80% of jobs.
151. 26:44Now, if we're in a situation where productivity is going like this and the amount of people needed to do it go like
152. 26:53this and then all of a sudden this goes up dramatically and this goes down dramatically, that gap, we were there. And if it does that
153. 27:05in the course of three years, even five years, if we go from 4% to 10 to 20 quickly, that's effectively an economically
154. 27:17catastrophic event. So industry will not be able to keep all the profit. Government will have to step
155. 27:25in. And what what will likely happen is government will step in and say who's who is the beneficiary of this increase
156. 27:36and they will tax them is my guess. Um David Shapiro if you want to look at um some of his work on post labor
157. 27:45economics is really um thoughtful on this. Um he's got a whole sort of local solution to this that doesn't require
158. 27:54centralized UBI. Um centralized UBI in his model I think accounts for 10 or 20% of the total pie and most of it has to
159. 28:05do with local resources. Um I I dunder think it may happen in Europe where taxes are not a dirty word just not here in the USA. the well the
160. 28:16thing I'm saying um Dunder is um it's it's possible if AI does not have a dramatic impact on on the workforce if
161. 28:27it has a dramatic impact then then I think you have to because because if you end up 20% in unemployment you have a
162. 28:34revolution on your hands so so like here's the thing about the the the rich class they're not [ __ ] stupid they're
163. 28:44they're they're rich for a They know how the game is played. They know how to manipulate the machine, right? And they
164. 28:50understand how the machine works. And they also understand that if certain elements of the machine get too far out of whack,
165. 28:59it will go bad for them. There are books that talk about this. You've seen this before, but we'll see. You could be right.
166. 29:12I just, you know, I just I, you know, had we not had COVID, I would be absolutely in your camp, but but we all
167. 29:19got to experience what happened when there was a catastrophic risk um and the United States included um you know did
168. 29:28the quarantine thing. So, same thing will happen with AI and economics at some point. I don't know how fast it's going to go.
169. 29:38Business is really slow to adopt [ __ ] So instead of three to five years, it might be five to 10 years. It might be
170. 29:47five. It might be 10 to 20 years. I don't know. But I just don't I think 2026 is going to change some [ __ ]
171. 29:55I think 2026 is where we're going to start to see the first non-janky AI. AI from from November 30th, 2022. I'm
172. 30:05counting that as the beginning of the generative AI era. So, we just hit this week is the third year anniversary of chat GPT.
173. 30:14I would say we are still firmly in the AI is a janky piece of [ __ ] phase of AI. Um, the hallucinations are unmanageable.
174. 30:28Um, the like vibe coding things wiping out people's hard drives is unmanageable. autonomous agents that
175. 30:36[ __ ] things up are unmanageable. The physics in movie generation is unmanageable. The lack of character
176. 30:43consistency for storytelling, the lack of coding consistency, the lack of security in coding, every in every
177. 30:50single discipline, things are jankier than [ __ ] I think we start to see that change in 2026. There will be an example or two of
178. 31:01a system that's built that's like, "Oh, well, that's interesting." H I didn't think they'd get that good that fast.
179. 31:18And if that happens, keep coming here. Pay attention. Pay attention. Like, uh-oh. What did I do? >> You didn't do anything other than
180. 31:31forgetting to open Miro. So, I have This is the only way. >> I can't see I can't I can't see it at all. My whole
181. 31:36>> Yeah. So, I figured um couple things though to to interrupt. Um one, Hedra dropped on Twitter or X as they call it
182. 31:45now. Uh that a option to sketch a video into existence. They're calling it head draw and they're offering a credit promo
183. 31:58if you comment their headaw. They they just DM'd me like 500 free credits to go play with the new head draw. It's not
184. 32:07available if you go to the website, but if you DM them or send them a comment on their latest expost. Um
185. 32:15>> did you put that in the in the thing? >> I I did not, but I will. But it's a limited offer, you know, first come,
186. 32:22first serve. Um, also, uh, I since we were talking about staying tuned to what's going on in the future, figured
187. 32:30it would be a great time to talk about Festivus. Now, I'm going to go. >> Perfect. Lovely. So, let me talk about Festivus. So, um,
188. 32:41it is December 3rd. Three. December 3rd, three weeks from now, right after the holidays. I don't know
189. 32:56if I'm allowed to say Christmas, but Christmas shortly after that, and other related holidays. And I don't know enough about the other
190. 33:06holidays to know when they land because I'm I'm just I'm ignorant. Okay. So, after the holidays, but before New Year's,
191. 33:17the AI Salon and She Leads AI are putting on AI festivists. And if you could pull the um what you call it up there, Brandon,
192. 33:28the uh the banner, if you go to aifestivist.com, there you go. Go to aifestivist.com. Let me do that. Beautiful.

224. 38:33there, you big [ __ ] What are you talking about? The [ __ ] AI. I don't know. Whatever hair product I got working, man, it's

226. 39:09Um, did you bring your pink bow? I did not bring my pink bow. Nice wig. Thank you. It's actually four tupes weaved together with um, spider
227. 39:24silk. So, you can't you can't actually see the boundaries. Uh, oh, I've done something wrong. >> No, that's okay. I I just also wanted to
228. 39:34remind you about Salons's Got Talent and the special prize I left for you on the contest page. >> Oh, good. Okay, cool. Um, okay. So,
229. 39:42that's a whole another thing. Let's go. So, wait. I've got to share. Let me share. Let me go here. Let me go back

231. 39:57everybody. I'm going to share my tab. I'm going to share that community event tab. Beautiful. Um, where's it announced? Is it in
232. 40:07community feed, Brandon? >> Uh, challenges and competition. >> Okay. So if you go to Yan AI salon
233. 40:25and on the left hand side you scroll down um to play and create and there's challenges and competitions. If you click on that, Brandon
234. 40:38is hosting or has put together Salon's Got Talent and it's a video and I don't Why am I nervous to push this play button?
235. 40:48I think I should be. Oh boy. Oh, it's not a video. Oh, it's a video. Welcome to AI Salon's Got Talent. Good luck to the contestants.
236. 41:08I I really have to redo my cameo to not have that shitty boring shirt. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Okay. Submit
237. 41:23your artwork here. So, here's what we're going to do. from December 3rd, which is today, until December 10th, you can
238. 41:32submit your work. So, we're we're doing and it can be any kind of work you want. There's no restrictions on it. There's
239. 41:38no theme to it. We just want work that you're proud and excited to share, okay? And you just submit it here and then
240. 41:47people are going to vote on it. We're going to basically do a vote thing. It can be songs. It could be poetry. It
241. 41:52could be um a movie. It can be It doesn't matter. It can be an app that you vibe coded about running through a
242. 42:00subway. Doesn't like can literally anything. What I would encourage you to do leaning into the AI mastermind practice is elevate your game.
243. 42:12Don't just submit anything. Don't just submit something. Really think about what could you submit for this? what
244. 42:18could you do that's really in line with who you are, something you're really proud of or something you really believe
245. 42:24deeply in and submit that. And don't be afraid to submit multimodal entries like maybe you submit a video game, but you
246. 42:33submit a video that talks about the video game and maybe you submit, I don't know, some sort of deck that explains
247. 42:40it. I don't know. Be creative with it. Okay, Kyle is rocking that look. Kyle's just tired and does not care.
248. 42:53But but thank you to Brandon for uh for putting that together. Um it's a really cool idea. So the the winners will be
249. 43:01announced uh during Festivus and the overall winner wins an AI salon mastermind practice uh membership for a year.
250. 43:13Um, and uh, and that's really cool. I like that. I think that's powerful. So, you can submit more than one entry. Yes.
251. 43:22Well, I don't know. I didn't make up the rules. Brandon, can they submit more than one entry? It's up for debate. Um, we're just kind
252. 43:31of building this boat as it's sailing down the canal. Um, so I would say if you have two different pieces that you
253. 43:37really feel uh compelled to enter and they're different, you know, don't flood the zone with a hundred different pseudo
254. 43:43tracks. But, you know, if you I would say, yeah, with the more creativity, the better. >> Yeah. And quite frankly, I mean, it's
255. 43:50like, you know, you're gonna if you if you submit too many pieces, you're going to dilute your vote, right? So, you
256. 43:57know, you're going to split it across things. But, yeah, I don't I don't see any reason why not, especially if it's different categories.
257. 44:04Right. Yeah. >> And um by the way um while I'm here um we have a V2 of the uh Subway Surfer game if you'd like to. >> Very nice.
258. 44:18>> We've been hard at work. Um >> Instead of producing, he's been hard at work making the subway >> for Daniel.
259. 44:29>> So now we do we can jump on the rats. >> Oh, wait. You're gonna you'll change the uh share. >> Oh. Uh yeah. Uh
260. 44:40>> so we've got holes to jump over now. Don't fall in the tracks. >> Go full screen. >> I don't know how actually.
261. 44:47>> It's in the upper right, isn't it? >> Yeah. The the out button. The up arrow out button. >> Oh. Uh nope. I select and ask.
262. 45:02>> Yeah, >> I don't know. Ask your producer. But the point is, and the reason I wanted to jump back up here and share this is
263. 45:10because we do now have, and I just need to wait for one to show up. We do now have a pizza. >> That's awesome.
264. 45:19>> And the pizza rat is worth 500 points. >> Of course, now that we're asking for a pizza rat, we won't get one. There's a pizza rat.
265. 45:26>> Pizza rat. Oh, nice. That's awesome. I I shared this in the regulars. So if you wanted challenge for the high score
266. 45:38>> Oh, that's a good idea. Reggie just said uh people should share what tools they used for their entries. I think that's not a bad idea.
267. 45:46>> Yes, Groovy. All right. Fantastic. Let me go to this window here. No, that's the one I'm in. Go this window here. Move that down there.
268. 46:03Beautiful. Do this here. All right, we're back. So, AI Festivus AI um AI's Got Talent. And then also, if
269. 46:16you're not a member of the AI salon, go to the salon.ai, learn about what we're up to. We are a community of AI
270. 46:24optimists and people that are trying to figure this [ __ ] out. And just to say that we're optimists doesn't mean that we don't have doubts.
271. 46:35This is not blind optimism. This is looking at what the AI salon's about. What this channel is about is acknowledging the
272. 46:47fact that AI is transformative and it's not going away. Like that simple. No judgment on it. Just that the nature of what it is, the
273. 47:00powerfulness of it and all this investment means that it's transformative and it's not going away. Okay?
274. 47:11So if it's transformative and it's not going away, then we as humans have two choices. This is binary. I normally hate binary thinking.
275. 47:25Binary thinking it's this or that. Right? Genius of and is additive. Binary thinking is this or that. The one place
276. 47:36that I will accept binary thinking is if AI is transformative and it's not going away, then here's the two choices. And
277. 47:46they're quite simple. You deal with it or you don't. That's it. It's not like you have to go to Stanford
278. 48:00and get a degree in math or not. No, you deal with it or you don't. And what dealing with it looks like is just [ __ ] learn what it is.
279. 48:10[ __ ] play with it. Experiment with it. Understand it. Not all of it. just understand a piece of it. If you choose not to engage with it,
280. 48:24then what ends up happening if it's transformative and it's not going away, it will transform your world
281. 48:35without you knowing what was coming. It will completely blindside you and that's going to suck. So, don't do that.
282. 48:42Keep coming back here. The the purpose of this channel is one hair advice, hair inspiration. Right. The second goal of this channel
283. 48:58is for you to just be in the conversation. Just be in the conversation. Be chatting with people here. Hey, what are you
284. 49:06doing? How'd you do that? You doing anything good, Kyle? What's all this nonsense about? Whatever's the news of
285. 49:14the day. Just being in the conversation just means that you're aware that there's this thing and it's coming. It's coming. It's
286. 49:22coming. It's coming and it's here and it's here and it's here and it's here. And if you're one of those at this point minority people
287. 49:35that are paying attention to this, one of the things that we found in here is that AI rather than being this thing
288. 49:41that we have to compete against us versus the machine, binary thinking, AI bad, human good, there's another way. There's an enlightened way.
289. 49:57AI is a thing that is transformative and it's not going away and I'm a human with ideas and rather than competing with an AI
290. 50:08that's getting increasingly powerful like going to be more powerful than me in fact I would say a year and a half
291. 50:18two years ago AI was more powerful than me for me that ship has already sailed Rather than me competing with that, what
292. 50:29I can do and what all of us can do is we can say, "Wait a minute. I'm the captain now. I'm the captain now.
293. 50:40I'm driving this ship." And the ship is, in my case, Kyle Shannon. And I get to say, "Well, who am I? What do I believe in? What do I like?
294. 50:54What's the change I want to make in the world? How do I want to do that? Do I want to be creative? Do I want to? Right.
295. 51:01And then when I have that idea, now I can just take AI, strap it on like a jetpack, and it amplifies. It pushes me forward.
296. 51:14It's not me versus AI. It's me amplified by AI. What was I made for? Yeah. Listen to the Barbie song.
297. 51:31I used to waffles I made for.
298. 51:48As strange as it sounds, I think that is our job in the future. To be a Barbie. I was on there and he
299. 51:56said the job our job in the future is to be a Barbie doll. I thought that was kind of silly. I didn't understand that. I don't even
300. 52:04like pink. I I I don't understand what he was talking about. Our job is going to be answer the question, what was I made for?
301. 52:20And you will now have the tools and the capacity to do that. Oh, but I don't have enough resources. I don't know. My idea is an application.
302. 52:34And I have never learned a line of programming in my life. I'm not very technical. I'll tell you that. I'm not very technical.
303. 52:47Anything you want to do, you're going to be able to do. So, what are you going to do? Figure that [ __ ] out. Start now. Daily
304. 52:58daily practice. The AI salon mastermind practice is a structured framework. We created a nine-stage framework for
305. 53:07designing and practicing a daily practice that centers around the human first and AI as the augment as the amplifier.
306. 53:21All right, Weaver, what's happening? We're shaking. What's going down? We got De Don Lrod Coupe in the house. That is a great name.
307. 53:33name is Don Lrod Coupe. How may I help you? I hope you're here to fix my hair, Don, because this is a This is This is AI generated. Okay,
308. 53:50do you want to know the state of AI? This is AI generated. That's where we are. Good lord, it's a mess.
309. 54:06We love your hair. Oh, let's see. I'm using that as my excuse for hearing out. My hair is AI
310. 54:23generated or just this is AI generated. Anything that's bad, this is AI generated. I I cannot be held responsible. I use
311. 54:33chat GPT to create this hairstyle. It's pretty good. I'm sorry, sweetheart. This was AI generated and I'm on the free version.
312. 54:48That's even better. This is Yeah. Sorry. No, this was the free version of Perplexity. Yeah. Yeah. No, I know. I know. It's just for
313. 54:59another 24 hours and then uh we'll be back to normal. We'll have a normal Sears robot carpet salesman kind of
314. 55:08situation. But right now, we've got chaos. Oh man, where can I find instructions for the competition? If you go to the AI
315. 55:17salon, so go to community.thesalon.ai AI. And then down the left hand side in the play section, there's a couple of
316. 55:26sections before I think the play section is number three. There's challenges and competitions. So, it's like two two
317. 55:34spaces down in the play section is challenges and competitions. How would you even prompt it?
318. 55:49I I'm an old man. Make me look hip. Oh god.
319. 56:08All right, kids. Listen. I gotta get the [ __ ] out of here. I gotta get to bed. I got Listen, I got musicals to sell. Well, I got one.
320. 56:20I'm not a broker. If If you're out there and you're like, "I've got a musical, Kyle. Could you go sell mine, too?" No.
321. 56:29I've got one musical I'm trying to produce. You know how hard this is? Do you know how much the world wants another musical right now?
322. 56:41Nobody wants another musical. I'll tell you, did I tell you this? Um, my the the woman that I'm staying at, Kathy, her daughter, Sallyanne,
323. 56:53she's funny. She's this this is from my wife's family, so they're from the Bronx. So, they're they're, you know,
324. 56:59they're they're New Yorkers, right? So So, so Sally's really smart and she knows all about culture and stuff like
325. 57:07that. She knows storytelling. She knows novels and books and things. So I'm I'm showing her the musical and I'm we're
326. 57:14going through the songs and about the fourth song in Sally goes, "You know, I [ __ ] hate musicals." She goes, "This
327. 57:22is the kind of song that if I were in the Broadway theater and I heard this thing spin up, I'd walk out." She goes,
328. 57:29"This is definitely a Broadway show. This should be on Broadway." I just [ __ ] hate musicals. That's the best. So good.
329. 57:46Source camp. Um, I would like another musical, please. Listen, we need a Hamilton replacement. We really do. We
330. 57:54need a Hamilton replacement. Sydney is the next Hamilton. Okay? So, Sydney's going to be it. So, I'm here in New York. I'm here in the Big
331. 58:03Apple talking to big-time producers. We don't have a path. We don't have a plan yet. This is a this is a working
332. 58:11meeting. We're collaborating on what the [ __ ] we need to do to get this thing mounted in some way. And and I'll tell you
333. 58:23I'll tell you my dream. I went to the public tonight, the public theater right down there on St. Mark's place and
334. 58:36I took me some pictures of it and I went inside. Uh-oh. What's happening? Oh, physical dexterity challenge. Hang on.
335. 58:51I took pictures of it. So, my dream would be we workshop it somewhere. Well, I I'll just say this out to the universe. Hamilton
336. 59:01workshopped at the 52nd Street project. So, I could see us doing like a, you know, a small uh what do you call it? A a uh a modest
337. 59:16workshop at something like 52nd Street Project where some producers get to come in and hear the words and hear the songs
338. 59:24and see the movement, see the actors and see Sydney come to life. And then how I'm imagining it, we go from there to the public
339. 59:34because the public is just it's the public theater. It's where Hamilton started. So Hamilton started at 52nd Street Project as a workshop.
340. 59:46Well, actually, Hamilton started as a song that was sung for President Obama that made such a racket that they had to
341. 59:58turn it into a musical. I I assume Lyn Manuel intended to turn it into a musical anyway, but he had a little bit
342. 1:00:06of a leg up there, plus a Tony for In the Heights before that. So, for for what it's worth, he was doing okay.
343. 1:00:14So, so we're going to do 52nd Street Project workshop. Then we're going to go we're going to do a production at the public.
344. 1:00:21It's gonna go at the public and then we're going to full [ __ ] full send to Broadway, baby. That's the That's the dream. That's
345. 1:00:30where we're [ __ ] going. All right. Now, you might look at me and say, "Kyle, that's a ridiculous dream." Yes.
346. 1:00:45Next thing you know, Kyle and Suno will be scoring in KTO 3. Maybe. Maybe I'll be there to see it. I have faith. Oh, I
347. 1:00:54have faith. I'm really excited. I'm really excited. It's just when I say stuff like that out loud, I'm like,
348. 1:01:00"Good Lord, that's ridiculous to say." And at the same time, why not? Why the [ __ ] not? It's a story that should be told. It's a
349. 1:01:14It's a good story. It's good songs. If the woman that's If the woman that's like, "I hate [ __ ] musicals and this
350. 1:01:22is the song I would walk out on, but yes, this should be on Broadway. These sound just like Broadway, then [ __ ]
351. 1:01:27let's put it on Broadway. We want her to walk out of this musical." And here's the secret. She loves musicals. That's
352. 1:01:34what I found out from another family member, Sallyanne. You don't [ __ ] hate musicals. All the musicals that Melissa saw, you told her
353. 1:01:43to see because you saw them and loved them. So, you love musicals deep down. Liar. Important question. Are we going for
354. 1:01:58another subway ride together? I will do I'll do I'll go live tomorrow uh in the subway. I think the subway rides are fun
355. 1:02:06because I just realized everyone on the on the subway is on their phones and I assume not everyone's live on the
356. 1:02:13subway, but I'm like, are they going to know that I'm live? I'm like, no, everyone's got their phones up. So, I
357. 1:02:19just pretend like I'm looking at stuff and I'm sure it's illegal as hell. I'm, you know, I there's going to be a
358. 1:02:28knock by the feds on the door. Are you Mr. Kyle Shan? Yeah, we are you you're affiliated with the uh artificial
359. 1:02:38intelligence learning laboratory. Is that that's the case? And I don't know why this New York cop sounds like a Midwest farmer.
360. 1:02:52But that's what you get tonight. I'm a little tired. All right. Kristen Chennowith. Um, no. I don't think she's right for
361. 1:03:02it. Um, Lauren Allred is the is the is the woman that um I had in my mind when I wrote Sydney. Um, she's the one that sang she's the
362. 1:03:15voice of the the song the u Never Never Enough Never Enough in Greatest Showman. Um, she was on Britain's Got Talent
363. 1:03:26singing that and kind of revealing that she sang that song. She's she's amazing. Um but then we just watched um there
364. 1:03:34there's a musical there's a documentary out right now about Hamilton about the woman that that initiated the one of the lead roles.
365. 1:03:45I forget her name. Rebecca someone um she could be really good in it. Um there's a woman a young woman that was
366. 1:03:52in In the Heights, a Hispanic woman that could be good for it. Um, I don't know. A lot of people could be good for Sydney because
367. 1:04:03Sydney is really just manifested in Kellen the tech reporter's mind. So, whatever he thinks she should be, that's
368. 1:04:11what she is. You know, like it is. Um, you can just pretend you're FaceTiming. Oh, that's a good idea. That's true. Oh, yeah, Mom.
369. 1:04:22Yeah, Mom. Good to see you, too. You know the Sally, you know that Sallyanne said she hated musicals,
370. 1:04:36but but she keeps going to musicals. If she hates them, why does she go? Glad to see the Glad to see Broadway
371. 1:04:46moving away from Marvel. Well, they got to produce my play to move away from Marvel, but yes, I agree. All right, I'm
372. 1:04:54going to go. Um, peace out everyone. Hope you had fun tonight. Bye.
