Description

Everything works in AI. Everything is perfect... unless it isn't. In this engaging discussion, Kyle explores the profound, transformative potential of artificial intelligence, shifting the conversation from technical skills to a fundamental mindset change. He shares a compelling story about his friend Joe, a photographer who went from being apprehensive about AI to using it as a personal journaling tool to explore the outer edges of his ideas without limitation. This illustrates Kyle's central argument: the true power of AI lies not in replacing human creativity, but in augmenting it. He encourages viewing AI as a "jetpack" for personal and professional ascension, a partner for radical self-expression that helps individuals amplify their unique voice and vision. Addressing common fears surrounding AI, Kyle challenges the predominantly negative narrative by focusing on its capacity for immense good. He introduces the powerful concept of "AI your why," urging individuals to feed their passions and purpose into the technology to rediscover dreams and bring long-dormant ideas to life. Using the analogy of an ocean liner, he explains that even small, positive shifts in how we use AI today can dramatically alter its future trajectory for the better. Ultimately, Kyle posits that because AI is trained on the vast expanse of human knowledge and creativity, interacting with it is like holding up a mirror to our collective consciousness, offering an unprecedented tool for personal discovery and innovation. #ArtificialIntelligence #PersonalGrowth #MindsetShift #CreativeAI #FutureOfTech #SelfExpression #Innovation #AIforGood Chapters: 00:00:00 Starting with a Song 00:02:26 Champ the Singing Dog 00:05:44 The CEO Dinner 00:06:41 AI as Augmentation 00:07:48 AI Mindset Shift 00:09:23 AI Journaling APP 00:10:41 Finding Idea Edges 00:12:11 Balancing Ai's Impact 00:13:40 AI Energy Consumption 00:16:23 Negative AI Narratives 00:17:15 Rediscovering Yourself 00:18:18 AI & JOB Displacement 00:20:16 Chalice of Possibility 00:22:07 Reviving Dead Dreams 00:23:33 THE Ocean Liner Metaphor 00:25:56 Fragile Human Ideas 00:26:53 Amplifying Conversation 00:29:55 AI as a Calculator 00:31:38 A Reflection of Humanity 00:33:19 AI for Actors 00:35:32 Technology & Self-Expression 00:37:31 Classical vs Generative AI 00:41:04 Encyclopedia Britannica 00:42:11 Vibe Coding with Lovable 00:46:12 THE AI Salon 00:49:50 Introducing Sora 2 00:50:34 Sora Cameos 00:52:43 Stumbling Into Passion 00:55:51 Generating Sora Ideas 00:59:31 Live Sora Demo 01:06:44 GEN X Survivor Toy Ad 01:08:28 Spray Steak Commercial 01:09:04 AI Readiness Program Ad 01:10:32 Amelia Earhart Footage 01:19:03 NEW AI Salon Website 01:22:36 Upcoming Schedule 01:24:28 Sora Homework 01:26:10 Producer Brandon's Game 01:28:25 Vibe Coding Process 01:31:26 Final Thoughts

0:45 Get on to him like slow cold fronts.
0:53 He be was warmer than a look in her
0:56 eyes.
0:59 [Music]
1:00 She sat on stool and he said, "What do
1:04 you want?"
1:05 [Music]
1:08 She said, "Give me a love that don't
1:11 freeze up inside."
1:16 You said I have
1:19 most of my time dear.
1:24 >> But to sit next to you while I shiver
1:27 and shake.
1:30 [Applause]
1:32 And if I knew, well, I don't think I'd
1:36 be here.
1:40 Asking myself if I've got what it takes.
1:48 to melt your icy blue heart.
1:54 [Music]
1:56 Should I stop?
1:59 Turn what's been frozen for years
2:05 into a river of tears.
2:09 [Music]
2:25 Ah,
2:27 I love you, singing pup. That is the
2:29 best singing dog in the whole planet.
2:31 That is Champ the singing dog.
2:34 They made toys about Champ in the 70s.
2:36 I've got the commercial to prove it.
2:41 They made uh toys about Gen Xers in the
2:45 90s. I've got the commercial to prove
2:47 it. If you don't think it's true,
2:50 I've got the video. It's got to be true.
2:54 We got video now.
2:56 [Music]
3:11 Thank you for sharing the live Danielle
3:14 as always. Much
3:18 appreciated.
3:19 [Music]
4:03 Oh Jesus.
4:07 Freedom came my way that night
4:13 just like a jet plane in and out of
4:17 sight.
4:19 I was hauling ass at a million miles an
4:23 hour,
4:24 wondering how hard I'd hit
4:28 [Music]
4:30 when they came into the station.
4:35 [Music]
4:36 [Applause]
4:38 They said I was bad beyond repairs,
4:43 but I got no qualms with my situation.
4:50 Say here I am.
4:52 [Music]
4:56 [Applause]
4:58 So say Sheree Sheree Sheree won't
5:03 [Music]
5:05 say Sheree Sheree Sheree
5:11 what's happening what's shaking what's
5:13 going down how are you good people this
5:15 evening
5:15 [Music]
5:43 So
5:45 Tonight at my little CEO dinner, I had a
5:48 uh one of one of my favorite guys there,
5:51 a guy named Joe. He's the photographer
5:52 for the group. And he's just a super
5:57 he's just like a cool hippie dude. man
6:00 bun, you know, just sweetest dude
6:04 and,
6:06 you know, very spiritual, very connected
6:09 to
6:11 just who he is and super generous, like
6:15 always complimenting other people in
6:16 this really generous way. And so, I
6:19 don't know, three or four months ago,
6:22 he was sitting at our table and I was
6:25 going on about AI. I don't know if you
6:27 know this. I talk a lot about AI, like
6:28 even to strangers and in public places.
6:32 It's it's sociopathic.
6:35 I I'll admit that. And uh
6:39 so I was going on about AI and how
6:42 powerful I think it is. And he's a
6:43 photographer, so he was a little
6:44 skittery about it. I said, "No, don't
6:47 think about it as a replacement for you.
6:48 Think about it as an augmentation for
6:50 you." And so,
6:54 so at the CEO dinner, one of the things
6:56 that they do is there's like a 30 second
6:58 introduce yourself and then you know
7:01 what's your ask of the community. And so
7:04 tonight I said,
7:07 you know, I'm the co-founder and CEO of
7:10 StoryVine and I'm the co-founder of the
7:11 AI Salon. And I realized that the AI
7:14 salon
7:16 is about
7:17 people transforming themselves
7:20 personally or professionally using AI.
7:22 And that, you know, my favorite people
7:24 in the AI salon are people who have
7:26 figured out how to somehow strap AI on
7:29 like a jetpack and just ascend to to
7:33 like a different plane.
7:35 And and like what I've what I've learned
7:37 over the years is that how that's
7:40 working like how that's happening is not
7:44 about prompt engineering. It's not about
7:45 prompt strategy or which model they use.
7:48 It's it's absolutely a mindset shift
7:51 where the people that are reinventing
7:53 themselves, rediscovering themselves,
7:54 amplifying themselves, are using AI
8:00 as like a, for lack of a better term,
8:03 like a confessional of their ideas,
8:07 right? It's a very personal thing.
8:08 Champ, what is up? Hang on. Hold please.
8:23 I don't mind
8:28 [ __ ]
8:35 So, so what I asked for tonight is I
8:38 said I I said I I realized that that the
8:40 AI salon is my attempt to surround
8:43 myself with people that are
8:47 kind of finding this radical
8:50 self-expression using AI and amplifying
8:53 who they are
8:56 and and I said so if anyone here has
9:00 transformed themselves or you know know
9:03 anyone that has with AI Hi, I'd love to
9:05 talk to you. So, as I was leaving
9:07 tonight, Joe came up to me.
9:11 A Champy. I know. Poor Champy. I don't
9:13 know what his deal is. I think it's
9:15 because someone just cooked something in
9:17 the air fryer and he smells food. So, I
9:19 think he's just hungry. He's just a
9:21 whiny little whiny little puppy tonight.
9:23 Um, so Joe pulls me aside and he goes,
9:26 he goes, "Kyle, I've transformed myself
9:28 with AI." And so this was a guy who
9:31 really wasn't using it
9:33 three months ago and was afraid of it
9:35 and you know had this adversarial
9:39 relationship with it. And I said well
9:42 tell me more like what do you what do
9:43 you mean? And he said he got himself an
9:46 AI powered journaling app
9:50 and he journals with it every night and
9:53 he you know it's it's voice journaling.
9:56 And I said and well how has that
9:57 transformed you? And he said, "Well," he
10:00 goes, he goes, "I have all these ideas
10:02 in my head." And he goes, "With humans,
10:06 you know, humans have their own [ __ ] and
10:08 like if I start unloading these ideas on
10:11 humans, there's, you know, there's
10:13 they've got some amount of capacity,
10:15 right? And at some point, they just tap
10:17 out."
10:19 And he says, "But with with this AI
10:21 thing, I can literally just unload on
10:24 it, and I can just talk for 10 minutes,
10:27 15 minutes, and it's it's, you know,
10:30 remembering and cataloging and indexing
10:32 everything I'm talking about, as well as
10:35 everything we've talked about for the
10:36 past three or four months."
10:39 And and he goes he goes, "So I know when
10:41 I sit down with with that that journal,
10:45 I can find the edges of all the ideas
10:48 that I'm thinking about,
10:53 right? That he can get them out of his
10:54 head and journal with them." Yeah.
10:56 Brandon, what's
10:57 >> Speaking of getting people out of your
10:58 head, if you're not going to open Miro,
11:00 um
11:01 >> Oh,
11:02 >> you know, we haven't been together for a
11:03 couple nights, but uh your Tik Tok cams
11:05 are all effed up. Um, I've got stuff
11:08 pinned that you're ignoring. So, we'll
11:11 get it sorted.
11:13 >> We'll get it sorted. Hang on. Let me
11:15 >> Good to be back with you, Kyle. It's
11:16 been a couple days.
11:17 >> Welcome.
11:19 [Music]
11:26 >> Yeah, I had I go one night without a
11:28 producer. I forget what it's like to
11:30 have a producer.
11:34 Oh, good lord. Okay,
11:38 the postits are up and friendly.
11:44 >> Unless you're watching Tik Tok and this
11:46 case you're just seeing postits. There
11:48 we go.
11:49 >> I'm getting there.
11:58 Okay, Tik Tok is now reframed.
12:01 All right, I do have a question pinning
12:03 speaking of Tik Tok and that might
12:06 >> a question pinned on Tik Tok.
12:12 >> All right. How do we balance the good
12:14 and bad of AI? It's a energy demanding
12:19 process
12:21 and consumes a lot of water. The
12:22 consumes a lot of water thing is a is is
12:25 a bizarre
12:28 bizarre trope to me.
12:30 It's a bizarre one. So the why it
12:34 consumes a lot of water or why they say
12:36 it consumes a lot of water is that when
12:39 it when the processors get hot and
12:43 you've got a liquid cooled system,
12:45 you're running a lot of water through
12:47 the system.
12:49 Almost all of those systems are closed
12:51 loop systems, meaning they fill it with
12:54 water like a radiator in your car and
12:56 then the water circulates through the
12:58 system. So, I actually don't know. I I
13:01 don't It is possible that there is some
13:04 server farm somewhere that's literally
13:06 just got a guy with a fire hose
13:08 squirting GPUs and and
13:13 getting rid of all the water.
13:16 So, so I I don't get that one. That one
13:19 I don't get. The other thing about water
13:20 is you're using all the water. Okay,
13:23 let's assume there's a guy with a fire
13:25 hose there squirting all the GPUs and
13:27 all that water is evaporating.
13:29 Where's that water going? It's going
13:31 back to the [ __ ] clouds
13:33 and then it's going to fall back in the
13:35 lakes and go back in the reservoirs for
13:38 the guy with the ho. Like I I just that
13:40 one I don't get at all. Does it use a
13:43 lot of energy? Yes, it uses a lot of
13:45 energy.
13:46 It primarily uses that energy on the
13:49 training, not on the inference. Now,
13:52 when you have whatever it is 7 or 900
13:55 million users that OpenAI has and
13:57 however many million the other ones
13:59 have, that's a lot of inference. So,
14:01 there's there's a lot of um
14:04 there's a lot of compute being computed.
14:06 But there's a couple of things to to
14:09 think about when it comes to energy
14:10 consumpt consumption.
14:13 The cost per knowledge unit is going
14:17 down dramatically, right? So, so these
14:20 systems are getting more and more
14:21 efficient. Um, and they're getting more
14:24 and more smart. So, the amount of
14:26 compute we need per intelligence cycle
14:29 is going down dramatically.
14:32 And probably within the next two or
14:34 three years, we will have models small
14:37 enough to actually just run on your
14:38 phone. So I would say the concerns about
14:41 energy are absolutely like like the the
14:44 announcement that that OpenAI and Nvidia
14:48 just made that Nvidia is investing a
14:50 hundred billion dollars and they're
14:52 trying to big bring a gigawatt of
14:54 compute online every day on average.
14:58 Is it every day or is it every week?
15:00 Once a week. I don't know. It's a lot.
15:04 That's going to require a [ __ ] ton of
15:06 energy. Now,
15:11 the AI is going to help us do things
15:13 like figure out fusion sooner than
15:16 later, right? So, so the AI will
15:19 actually help us make energy production
15:22 more efficient and less polluting and
15:24 less costly and all that sort of stuff,
15:26 but there's this short-term window where
15:28 yeah, we're going to be investing a [ __ ]
15:29 ton of money in energy production. If
15:32 you listen to Elon Musk, it is so much
15:35 energy production that you it's actually
15:37 not practical to do it with uh with code
15:40 and things like that. Saw your vid on
15:42 using one's why. I've been doing it for
15:44 a while and can give good
15:48 results. Oh, and it can give good
15:49 results. Awesome. Yeah, AI your why is
15:52 something that I've been talking about.
15:53 So, let me let me take that and go back
15:55 to this other comment. So, that you you
15:57 asking the question, how do you balance
15:59 the good and bad of AI?
16:02 um
16:05 the bad things like it costs energy, it
16:08 costs water, the robots are going to
16:10 kill us. Um it's the world's greatest
16:13 plagiarism machine. There's there's a
16:15 lot of um it's not misinformation, but
16:19 it's kind of amplified
16:22 hyperbolic
16:24 information
16:26 um
16:29 about the negative aspects of AI.
16:32 There is almost no, with maybe the
16:35 exception of of this channel and a
16:37 couple other channels and things like
16:39 the AI salon, there is almost no
16:42 positive coverage about the positive
16:44 impact of AI.
16:48 What do we talk about? It's going to
16:49 cost jobs. It's going to it's going to
16:52 kill us. It's gonna Right. It's
16:54 destroying everything, right? It's
16:55 changing everything. Everything's wrong.
16:57 Everything's bad.
16:59 the AI, your why, the I the the the the
17:03 thing that
17:05 has inspired me from the beginning of
17:07 doing this channel and and the thing
17:09 that has inspired me from the beginning
17:10 of the AI salon
17:13 is I get to witness on a regular basis,
17:16 like on a nightly basis, people
17:19 rediscovering who they are because of AI
17:25 and
17:29 What I would say is that is is that the
17:31 good that you can do with AI,
17:37 the best thing you can do with it, in my
17:39 opinion,
17:41 is feed it you
17:44 AI your why. Prompt your purpose. Figure
17:46 out what it is you want in the world.
17:50 Do you want to start
17:53 a lemonade stand? Do you want to start a
17:55 pizza shop? Do you want to come up with
17:58 a new kind of exercise with for people
18:00 with bad knees?
18:04 Do you want to write the next great
18:05 American novel? Do you want to like what
18:07 what is the thing that that you you're
18:10 really passionate about? And and here's
18:19 there's going to be a lot of people in
18:21 the next three years that get booted out
18:23 of their jobs
18:26 that in their current jobs have never
18:29 had to
18:31 really ask themselves, what do I really
18:33 care about? What am I really passionate
18:35 about?
18:37 And AI is going to start displacing
18:40 people out of jobs. And what it's going
18:42 to look like is
18:44 some of the jobs that they get displaced
18:46 out of are not coming back,
18:50 right? Like when the steam engine took
18:53 over, you know, horse horsedrawn plows
18:56 on farms,
18:58 80% of those jobs went away. 80 80% of
19:02 those people over a 40 or 50 year period
19:04 lost their jobs.
19:06 they had to figure out other things to
19:08 do. So there's there's going to be a
19:09 forcing function that happens that for
19:12 people that are currently entrepreneurs
19:14 or soloreneurs or creative producers,
19:18 people that, you know, write songs or
19:19 music or art or things like that,
19:23 they are more prepared for being able to
19:26 be really good at AI than people who are
19:29 not. If if you're at a job where you're
19:31 told what to do every day and and you
19:32 actually like that and you don't have to
19:34 think about what's my opinion here. And
19:36 in fact, in some companies, having an
19:38 opinion is actually a dangerous thing,
19:41 right? If you give your opinion off with
19:43 the head,
19:46 those people are going to be displaced.
19:48 And what everyone talks about is that
19:51 they're going to lose the jobs. AI is
19:53 terrible.
19:56 But what is AI? Well,
20:00 AI,
20:01 when you AI your why, when you prompt
20:04 with purpose, when you think about who
20:05 you are and what you want, and you start
20:08 working with AI like an amplifier of
20:11 your ideas,
20:13 what ends up happening is
20:16 this is one of the very first insights I
20:18 had about generative AI when when
20:20 ChatGpt came out. One of the very first
20:22 insights I had was, "Holy [ __ ] I can't
20:25 believe how fast I can get an idea out
20:29 of my head and into the world."
20:32 And it might look like I vibe coded an
20:34 app. Or it might look like I need some
20:36 sort of image that kind of looks like
20:38 this and poof, there it is. It might
20:40 look like, "Oh, wouldn't it be funny if
20:42 that were a poem?" And now there's a
20:43 poem.
20:45 you can get the ideas out of your your
20:47 head incredibly quickly and then they
20:49 sit in front of you like a little
20:51 chalice of possibility,
20:54 right? You're like, "Huh, look at those
20:57 ideas." And this is what Joe was talking
20:59 about tonight at that CEO dinner that he
21:02 can get the ideas out of his head and he
21:04 can explore the boundaries. He goes, he
21:06 he goes, "I can explore the outer edges
21:08 of all the [ __ ] that was in my head for
21:10 that day." He goes, "It's absolutely
21:13 remarkable.
21:17 And so
21:19 that
21:21 is transformative.
21:26 It will initially be transformative for
21:28 you personally. Right? You'll be like, I
21:31 got these ideas and I've never been able
21:32 to do anything with them and let me put
21:34 them in the [ __ ] machine and poof out
21:36 they'll come and you'll have the little
21:38 chalice of ideas and you'll look at them
21:39 and go, huh,
21:41 those are actually pretty good. Or
21:43 you'll look at them and go, "Eh, now
21:45 those are crappy ideas, but you know, I
21:47 had this other idea once." You put that
21:49 in there. Poof, there it is. Uh, wow.
21:55 I haven't thought about that idea since
21:57 I was seven.
21:59 I hear this a lot. I hear a lot of
22:02 people that are really enthused, that
22:03 are really lit up about AI.
22:07 It has allowed them to rediscover
22:10 something in them that they thought was
22:12 dead.
22:17 If you want to talk about doing good in
22:19 the world,
22:22 you take someone who had given up their
22:24 dreams when they were seven or 10 or 11
22:26 or 15 or whenever the [ __ ] up [ __ ] in
22:29 their life happened
22:31 that shut that dream down.
22:34 And you reintroduce them to that hope
22:37 and that possibility
22:40 because of these tools.
22:42 And then maybe, just maybe, getting that
22:44 idea out of their head and looking at it
22:46 in that chalice, they go, "You know
22:48 what? I'm gonna see what I can do with
22:50 this." And they start playing with AI
22:51 some more. And it gets stronger and it
22:54 gets more defined. And they're like,
22:56 "Oh, well, maybe I should go over here
22:58 and see what that looks like. Maybe I
22:59 should go over here and see what that
23:01 sounds like."
23:04 And then it gets good enough that
23:05 they're like, "You know what? I'm going
23:07 to start to talk to people about this.
23:09 I'm going to put this idea in the world.
23:15 That act
23:17 of shifting your relationship with AI
23:20 from this thing that is out to get you
23:23 to this thing that is there to amplify
23:25 you is a profound shift
23:30 and it's going to change the [ __ ]
23:31 world. And so when you talk about
23:34 balancing the good versus evil, we're so
23:37 early in AI right now that you
23:40 understand the the uh the concept of
23:42 like like big ocean liners.
23:45 If if if a big ocean liner coming from
23:48 England, if they shift their their
23:50 heading by half a degree,
23:53 it is completely imperceptible
23:56 to anyone on the ship.
23:58 You're still heading toward America. you
24:01 shift it half a degree. By the time you
24:03 get to America, you're in Brazil, right?
24:07 You're in you're in South America. That
24:08 half a degree difference completely
24:11 altered the course of that ship.
24:14 It'll be thousands of miles off course.
24:21 We're at a time right now in history
24:24 where AI is going to go one of two
24:26 directions. Like it ain't going away.
24:28 that I'm that that I know.
24:32 So, it's not going away.
24:35 If people treat it like the enemy and
24:38 just sit back and don't do anything with
24:40 it, it's like turning this thing half a
24:43 degree toward the shitty.
24:49 If someone if if if the person
24:52 I'm so thankful for this group exists.
24:55 My circle is so tired of me talking
24:56 about AI. Yes. That's why we're [ __ ]
24:59 here. Hang out here. Be the [ __ ]
25:01 weirdo right now. Cuz I'm telling you,
25:03 here's the the there's this other half a
25:05 degree.
25:08 If we each of each one of us, what are
25:10 there 36 people there, 25 there? There
25:13 probably some overlap there. So maybe 40
25:15 people here. If the 40 people on this
25:18 call tonight start treating AI like it's
25:20 an an extension of them, an
25:22 amplification of them, and say, "Well,
25:25 what do I really want in this world?"
25:26 We've all got hopes and dreams. What is
25:29 yours? It doesn't [ __ ] matter. It can
25:31 be anything.
25:34 Put that into AI. See what comes back.
25:37 See what it does to you. Here, here's
25:39 another another insight I had, another
25:41 epiphany I had about AI.
25:46 The world is a dangerous place,
25:50 right?
25:54 And
25:56 ideas are fragile.
26:00 Have you ever noticed
26:03 that if you're in a room full of people,
26:05 even people you trust, friends, family,
26:08 co-workers,
26:10 you have this little idea and then at
26:12 some point you go, "Um, hey, I I have an
26:15 idea."
26:17 And then you put that idea in the world.
26:20 What happens?
26:23 Two people roll their eyes. One person's
26:25 like, "That's cool."
26:27 Which you take as I don't give a [ __ ]
26:31 And then one person's like,
26:35 and that little look they give you, that
26:37 little maybe that's the person you
26:40 actually trusted
26:42 and they kind of [ __ ] all over your
26:43 idea, even if they don't say anything.
26:46 And that that idea, what that idea does
26:48 in your head is it goes z and it shuts
26:50 down.
26:53 What happens with AI
26:56 is that you put your idea in and it's
26:59 like, "Gee, boss, that's a great idea."
27:01 You're like, "Oh,
27:03 and thought of that." And you put in
27:06 some more and says, "Oh, that's really
27:07 good. Have you thought about this?" And
27:09 you go back and forth and what you end
27:11 up having is this amplifying
27:14 conversation
27:16 without judgment.
27:19 And and there's a lot of people like,
27:21 well that's sickopantic and that's
27:22 dangerous and this and that and in
27:24 certain contrast in certain contexts
27:27 sickensy you know always saying yes is a
27:30 bad thing. But in in the in the fragile
27:35 embriionic stage of ideas
27:38 having an ever supportive entity that
27:40 you can bounce ideas back and forth with
27:42 is incredibly powerful. It has changed
27:46 my brain.
27:49 Like I'm a creative guy. I've got ADHD.
27:52 I've got a hundred [ __ ] ideas an
27:53 hour, right?
27:56 My relationship with putting them in the
27:58 world is very fraught with a lot of
28:01 anxiety
28:02 because I don't want to put it out there
28:04 because I know someone's going to [ __ ]
28:05 on it. And what's happened with chat GPT
28:08 and with tools like it is that I put
28:10 those ideas out there in the privacy of
28:13 my own little world
28:15 and it amplifies them. And what it
28:17 allows me to do is actually look at them
28:18 objectively and then I get to be the one
28:22 to say is it good or not.
28:25 You know Rick Rubin talks about the
28:27 audience comes last. The audience
28:29 doesn't matter or the audience comes
28:31 last. And what he means by that is he's
28:33 going to take this idea and if he thinks
28:36 about what's the audience going to think
28:38 of that, it'll completely destroy that
28:40 idea.
28:42 He says it it's not about them. It's
28:45 about him. It's about him looking at
28:47 that idea and going, "Do I like this?"
28:51 But you got to get it out of your head
28:53 before you can do that.
28:58 And so what I would argue is that if
28:59 you're balancing the good and the bad of
29:01 AI
29:05 is that we acknowledge the bad. It might
29:08 be dangerous. The robots might kill us.
29:10 It might It definitely uses a lot of
29:12 energy. Let's hope they come up with
29:14 fusion and solve climate change and all
29:16 the [ __ ] it needs to happen.
29:19 Um it was trained unethically.
29:22 Absolutely. That's all bad [ __ ] and
29:24 it's not going away.
29:28 So maybe, just maybe, if we use it in a
29:31 way that taps into our potential, that
29:34 butterfly effect of us taking one of
29:37 those nason ideas out of our head and
29:39 putting it in the [ __ ] world will
29:42 shift AI half a degree to the good over
29:46 time.
29:48 And that half a degree might make all
29:50 the difference.
29:53 So that's my soapbox for this [ __ ] I
29:56 think AI is the wise earnest sounding
29:58 board that's absolutely unique to
30:01 humanity. Well, you know, you know
30:03 what's funny, Kuno? I I hear a lot of
30:05 people talk about,
30:07 you know, AI can't feel, AI can't be
30:10 creative, AI can't be this, AI can't be
30:12 that.
30:14 What they're what they're talking about
30:16 is I wish I had a physical calculator.
30:23 The mechanism of what generative AI is
30:26 is a calculator.
30:29 So when people talk about a calculator
30:31 can't be creative, they're correct.
30:35 They're absolutely correct. A calculator
30:38 can't have feelings. Absolutely correct.
30:42 But what they're missing
30:44 is the real significance of this
30:46 particular calculator.
30:49 the the um the transformer the the the
30:54 particular kind of math that Google
30:56 invented that sits underneath all of the
30:58 generative AI tools we use today all of
31:01 the things that are doing this magical
31:02 [ __ ] is actually
31:05 well mathematically it's not simple but
31:07 conceptually it's quite simple you type
31:10 in a prompt it creates a probability
31:13 a waiting
31:15 of some token which is a fragment of
31:18 information in thousanddimensional
31:21 mathematical space and it figures out
31:24 which of those tokens is the most likely
31:27 to be the right next token. So that's
31:30 the mechanism.
31:32 But what's in that thousand dimensional
31:34 mathematical space is where the magic
31:37 is.
31:39 It's trained on all of the output of us,
31:44 the collective intelligence of humanity
31:47 that's been put on the internet for the
31:49 past 70 or 80 years.
31:52 Like every library, every museum, every
31:54 blog post, every shitty [ __ ] text you
31:57 did, like just all of it is in there.
32:00 And it's all been vacuumed up and put
32:02 into this magical bubble
32:06 that when we interact with it, the
32:08 mechanism is a calculator. But what is
32:12 being reflected back to us is humanity.
32:16 It's us.
32:20 That's [ __ ] insane.
32:24 And it it's the only thing that actually
32:27 makes sense.
32:29 If you look at how it works
32:31 mechanically, you're like, there's no
32:33 [ __ ] way that this cold,
32:36 shitty calculator
32:42 can do what it's doing. It's doing what
32:44 it's doing because what it was trained
32:46 on. And so what happens is if you AI
32:50 your why, if you put your purpose into
32:52 this thing, it's essentially humanity
32:54 reflecting that back to you and
32:56 amplifying it because everyone's thought
32:58 of some version of whatever idea is
33:00 coming out of your head. And so it all
33:02 gets reflected back at you in this sort
33:04 of crystallized way and you can go,
33:06 "Holy [ __ ] that's cool." Or, "Eh,
33:08 that's not great."
33:10 All right, Sunonny. Um,
33:15 wow. Let's see.
33:19 I went to a friend's play last week. It
33:21 got me thinking what ways actors can
33:24 leverage AI instead of being afraid of
33:26 it replacing them. Absolutely. Well,
33:28 I'll tell you one way. I have a degree
33:30 in acting.
33:32 One way is actors could get into AI and
33:35 get inspired about a story and write a
33:37 [ __ ] musical, which is I've spent the
33:39 last year and a half working on a
33:41 musical about AI intended for the
33:44 Broadway stage. So, I want to hire a
33:46 bunch of actors and musicians to go do
33:49 this play about AI. So, that's a thing.
33:53 Imagine using AI the the real time
33:55 rendering capabilities of something like
33:57 Ca or Deco here
34:00 where you have an improv company. You
34:03 could have a a theatrical performance
34:05 where the audience contributes ideas and
34:07 one of the performers is a prompter.
34:10 So you have actors, you have prompters,
34:13 and then you have projectors and and a
34:15 sound system. And so the prompter is
34:17 making music in real time, making images
34:19 in real time, making videos in real
34:21 time, and the actors are improving in
34:23 real time. There's a whole new kind of
34:26 theater to be invented. So like tons of
34:28 [ __ ] there. Pinned comment from Sunny.
34:32 Uh, wait, pinned. Wait, where? On
34:37 Streamyard. Pinned. Oh, Sunny. one of
34:39 the best definitions of embedded models
34:44 um
34:47 and LLMs I've ever heard. Oh, thank you,
34:49 Sunny. Wow, thank you. That's the Wow.
34:53 Um that's so vulnerable. Thank you for
34:55 sharing. Ideas die on the vine. Yeah.
34:58 Thank Thanks, Sunny. I mean, listen, I
35:00 like
35:04 I learned this year. I I always told
35:07 myself that well, for years I told
35:10 myself my career has no throughine. It
35:12 was just random. And then in my 40s,
35:15 maybe 50s, I realized,
35:18 no, my my career's always been at the
35:20 intersection of technology and
35:22 storytelling.
35:24 And I realized this year that that
35:26 that's not quite right. There's a nuance
35:27 to it. Tik Tok pin. All right, I'll be
35:29 there in a second. Um, my career has
35:32 always been at the intersection of of
35:34 high technology and self-expression
35:40 because when I first saw the internet,
35:42 like the the first thing I thought is I
35:44 got all these ideas. You could take
35:46 these ideas, you could put them in this
35:47 thing, and then people could see those
35:48 ideas. Holy crap. Like the the like the
35:51 revelation of of the worldwide web was
35:54 not about the technology or what it did.
35:56 It was about every human being now has
35:58 the possibility of taking their stuff
36:00 and putting it out there, but there's a
36:03 prerequisite to it. You need to be good
36:05 at getting ideas out of your head. You
36:07 need to be a good writer or a good
36:09 illustrator or a good musician.
36:12 And so, a lot of people got to the they
36:15 would start a blog and realize, ah, I
36:18 suck at writing. I hate this. And it
36:21 would they would shut it down, right? a
36:23 blog like a podcast has what on average
36:26 nine episodes before they fail before
36:28 they shut down.
36:30 So what's happening with AI is AI if you
36:33 treat it like an augment
36:36 an amplifier of your ideas all those
36:39 gaps that you had in execution can now
36:42 be filled in.
36:44 So you have no excuses anymore. It can
36:46 write, it can make music, it can do
36:48 this, it can do that. Well, what do you
36:49 want it to do? That comes back to you.
36:52 AI, your why. Put your purpose in there
36:54 and then figure out what the [ __ ] you
36:56 want it to do and put it in the world.
36:57 Why not? Um, Kavuno, your storytelling
37:01 and flare
37:03 is absolutely why the lessons stick and
37:05 why we're addicted. Oh, thank you very
37:06 much. Um, what was that pin thing
37:08 before? Dave K, could AI be effective if
37:12 it didn't have access to the internet?
37:15 It's Wait, I know that's the purpose.
37:19 Curious.
37:21 Um,
37:24 well,
37:27 I don't I don't quite understand what
37:29 you're asking, but
37:31 could a could AI have been create could
37:34 generative AI So, okay. So, so let me
37:37 explain let me explain generative AI as
37:40 distinct from AI. So, so classical AI as
37:43 they call it has been around for
37:45 decades. It's in facial recognition.
37:48 It's in Google maps. It's everywhere,
37:49 right? It's everyone's talks about it
37:51 and this is one of the confusing things
37:52 about AI right now because in order to
37:55 play in the in the in the classical AI
37:58 game, you really did have to be a
38:00 mathematician. You really did have to be
38:02 a probability data scientist nerdy geeky
38:06 Stanford MIT
38:09 nerd. You did you just did you had to be
38:11 good at that [ __ ] You had to be an
38:12 engineer.
38:14 Um and and what happened was they would
38:16 have these mo these frameworks these AI
38:20 frameworks and then you would bring your
38:22 data. So even just that concept what do
38:25 you mean I bring my data? If you're not
38:27 a data scientist that doesn't make any
38:29 sense but like if you want to bring
38:32 mamogram you know scan data you would
38:35 put it into one of these things and you
38:37 would create a mammogram reading
38:39 vertical AI. So classical AI was
38:41 vertical and it was bring your own data
38:45 chat GPT starting with GPT1, GPT2 and
38:49 then finally GPT3 started to this thing
38:51 started to get real.
38:56 The P in GPT is pre-trained.
39:01 So generative it's going to make [ __ ]
39:04 Pre-trained. You don't need to bring
39:06 data. We've got you covered. We've got
39:08 all the data. And then transformer is
39:10 the is the mechanism the tool that they
39:12 they use to do all this that pre-trained
39:15 piece you you could not have created
39:19 chat GPT without the internet right you
39:24 needed to go get all well technically
39:25 you could you could have gotten all the
39:27 books in the world from all the books of
39:29 the li all the libraries of the world
39:30 and scanned them all and put them into a
39:33 database and embedded them and put them
39:35 into a thing and you could have
39:37 technically done it without the internet
39:39 just wouldn't have been practical.
39:41 But
39:43 you can today you can take a small
39:48 um
39:50 large language model and if it's small
39:53 enough you can put it on your laptop or
39:55 you can even there are some that are
39:56 small enough that you can put on your
39:58 phone and they don't have to be
39:59 connected to the internet and they are
40:01 absolutely useful.
40:03 So imagine um if you're out in the woods
40:06 and
40:08 you've got all of the survival
40:11 literature of all of the history of
40:13 humanity is sitting on your phone and
40:17 you get yourself in a pickle out in the
40:19 woods. Well, if you don't have internet
40:21 connection, you can't Google it. But if
40:24 you had a large language model on there
40:25 and say, "Here's the situation. I just
40:27 broke my leg and da da and did this and
40:30 it turned purple and my left toes numb.
40:33 it will know what's going on. So, it can
40:36 absolutely be valuable and useful if
40:38 it's not connected to the internet. Now,
40:40 if you're in the woods and you say,
40:42 "Hey, who won the Lakers game tonight?"
40:45 It's not going to know that, right? So,
40:47 it can't get up-to-date information, but
40:49 it doesn't mean it's invaluable. So, I
40:51 hope that makes sense.
40:56 Sunny, you originally the caption said
40:59 AI your wives, not AI your wife. That's
41:01 hilarious.
41:03 That's great. Silverf Fox, we had
41:05 Encyclopedia Britannica on our kitchen
41:07 shelf growing up. Now this. Yeah.
41:11 I mean, think about I I don't Do you
41:13 remember this as a kid? If if you're
41:14 kind of Gen X age, like you remember at
41:17 least your grandparents had the
41:19 encyclopedia kit, right? And maybe you
41:21 did. Um,
41:25 and and uh I remember just feeling
41:28 overwhelmed with like all of those books
41:32 had all of this information. Someone had
41:34 to write all that stuff in there. And if
41:36 you think now about what's in an a
41:39 printed encyclopedia set,
41:42 it is minuscule
41:46 to like what Wikipedia was,
41:50 which is minuscule compared to what
41:53 Google had indexed,
41:55 which is minuscule compared to all of
41:59 the scraping and database mining and
42:03 what however they got all their data and
42:05 jammed it into these models.
42:08 The the mass of knowledge like the fact
42:11 that you can just go to lovable right
42:14 now, lovable.dev. If you haven't done
42:16 this, go right now to lovable.dev dev
42:23 and type in make me um an Asteroids
42:28 video game clone and make it just like
42:31 the standup arcade game from the 80s
42:34 with vector graphics and sounds and
42:36 great physics and just watch what it
42:39 does.
42:42 Like we now have these tools that know
42:45 all the code
42:48 and can do all the code.
42:51 It's bonkers.
42:54 Bonkers, man.
42:56 All right. I didn't realize this was
42:58 going to be a a tirade Thursday.
43:08 Look up something you like in the
43:10 encyclopedia. Exactly. We need to keep
43:13 my birthday. Much web copy is glorified.
43:16 Wait, we need to keep
43:19 my
43:21 birthday. Much web copy is glorified
43:23 advertising. Thrash Thursday. There you
43:25 go. Trumpy Wumpy. Hey, Trumpy Wumpy.
43:31 That's a name. I like it. Sunonny Yun
43:34 loves Lovable. Lovable is a [ __ ]
43:36 amazing
43:40 [Music]
43:45 Do you know how many times in my life
43:46 like Listen, I have a tech company. We
43:48 have an iOS app. We have an Android app.
43:50 We've got all this technology we built.
43:51 I'm effectively the product person. I'm
43:53 the inventor of the idea, but I didn't
43:55 actually code it myself. Do you know how
43:57 many times in my life I've had an idea
44:00 for an app that was like a really simple
44:02 app?
44:04 I was like, "Ah, it' be cool if" and
44:06 then and then I just shut it down.
44:09 because I know a I don't know coding, b
44:14 I don't really know anyone that knows
44:15 coding and anyone that I know that knows
44:17 coding is working and they don't want to
44:18 do my stupid shitty idea or they want to
44:21 get paid for it.
44:24 So most of my ideas historically have
44:26 never made it the [ __ ] out of my head.
44:31 That's not true anymore.
44:34 Not true anymore. Britannica. No, it was
44:36 World Book. That was great.
44:50 All right. I don't know what that quite
44:52 means, producer Brandon, on the post-it
44:53 note. So, if you could clarify that.
44:57 Compton's Encyclopedia. I mean, think
45:00 about these names. Britannica,
45:01 Compton's, like if you're old enough to
45:03 know, like those were big ass brands.
45:05 Those were powerful brands. The internet
45:08 absolutely [ __ ] destroyed them.
45:11 Oh, nice. We got some folks from
45:13 Bangalore, India in the house. I I hope
45:15 you're enjoying. Welcome. I assume it's
45:17 kind of breakfastish over there. Anybody
45:19 know what time it is in Bangalore? Well,
45:21 the folks in Bangalore do,
45:25 but welcome. Is it lunch or is it
45:27 breakfast? They're they're eight hours
45:30 ahead. That doesn't help me. What time
45:32 is it? Oh, it's like 4 in the morning.
45:34 No, it's got to be more than that.
45:37 I loved encyclopedias. Chat GPT does.
45:42 Oh, man.
45:44 10:30. All right. Just passed breakfast.
45:47 Very nice. Hopefully your work watching
45:49 the watching the AI learning lab.
45:53 Um,
45:55 yeah. I mean, I don't know what to talk
45:59 about now.
46:06 I I'll I'll share another thing and and
46:08 this is this is a really important one.
46:13 um when I first started the AI salon. So
46:16 I started the AI salon the same week
46:18 that chat GPT came out
46:21 and
46:25 as I thought about like who's it for
46:29 the the only thing that was clear to me
46:31 was people who are curious about AI.
46:35 And it's still for those people, right?
46:36 If you're curious about AI, this is a
46:38 place for you. If you're one of those
46:40 annoying people that's like, "Hey, hey,
46:42 did you see what happened with Chat
46:43 GPT?" And all your friends are like,
46:45 "Could you stop talking about AI?"
46:48 If you're that person, the AI salon's
46:50 for you. And by the way, can Brandon,
46:52 can you pop up the uh the URL? By the
46:55 way, we just launched a brand new
46:57 website. So, if you haven't been there,
46:59 go to the salon.ai
47:02 and see our brand new, it's still got a
47:04 couple of bugs in it. We're still doing
47:05 a little debugging, but it's a brand new
47:07 website that's got feeds that come from
47:10 our community. It's really exciting.
47:11 It's got events listed there. So, if you
47:14 haven't been to the AI salon, go check
47:15 it out.
47:19 For the first two years of this
47:21 generative AI stuff, and it's down. Oh,
47:23 really?
47:25 Maybe it is. They might be fixing
47:28 something. The
47:30 salon.ai.
47:33 No, it's good. The salon.ai is live.
47:38 I don't know what you're talking about
47:40 there, producer Brandon.
47:42 Um,
47:45 yeah, it looks great.
47:47 It looks great. Great. Great. It looks
47:50 great, I tell you.
47:53 It's great, I tell you. All right.
47:59 No, we're on Mighty Networks. This is
48:00 just our our website. Like so so we had
48:03 Mighty Networks and our website was just
48:05 this sort of little scab of a website.
48:08 Um we spent the past few months like
48:10 really figuring out what do we want the
48:11 website to be. So there's a whole
48:13 advocacy area on it. We've got live
48:15 feeds about our events and posts and
48:18 things like that and it and it really
48:19 just talks about what it is. Trumpy
48:21 Wumpy. I find people who are not
48:23 educated or at least don't like to read
48:26 are not interested in AI. I agree with
48:28 that Trumpy Wumpy. But if you haven't
48:31 played with it yet and you you might not
48:33 be able to immediately
48:35 um
48:36 because of of uh
48:41 just because it's new is you should go
48:44 download the new Sora app from chat GPT
48:47 from OpenAI.
48:49 Mighty Networks is better than Discord.
48:51 I agree. Um,
48:58 so now three sites to go to. No, the
49:00 Mighty Networks is the only site to go
49:02 to. The Discord, the Discord's just
49:05 still alive. You don't don't go to the
49:07 Discord site. U Mighty Networks is where
49:09 the community is. This is the the
49:11 websites. This is just for people who
49:12 are like, "What's the AI salon? We want
49:14 to be able to go."
49:16 Um,
49:18 I know a lot of readers that don't
49:20 welcome anything new. So, so let me let
49:22 me address the the the comment about
49:24 about um
49:27 about smart people um
49:30 being the only ones that that can play
49:31 with AI or the only the only ones who
49:33 are interested in using it. There's
49:36 going to be a lot of on-ramps to um
49:41 there's going to be a lot of on-ramps to
49:43 AI and a lot of them a lot of people are
49:46 going to use AI and not use not not know
49:48 they're using it. So, one of the things
49:50 that Chat GPT just did was they launched
49:54 Sora 2 and they launched this Sora app,
49:57 Sor A on the iOS app store
50:01 and it's like Tik Tok except you have to
50:04 use AI generated videos and and the
50:07 immediate response from people was oh
50:08 that's AI slop and there's there's three
50:11 other platforms that now have vertical
50:14 scrolling video AI generated video
50:16 things. So this is going to be a new
50:18 form of AI generated content
50:23 from video models or from audio models.
50:26 Sunno is one of the one that's that's
50:27 got one.
50:30 What OpenAI did that's [ __ ]
50:32 brilliant. It's [ __ ] brilliant is
50:35 they created this thing called cameos.
50:38 And what cameos are is when you log in,
50:41 you make a profile of yourself and the
50:43 first thing you do is you record your
50:45 face. you you basically hit the record
50:47 button and it has you read three numbers
50:50 66 44 22 or 23 whatever like they're you
50:54 know they're not always the same but
50:55 just three two digit digit numbers and
50:58 then it's like turn your head to the
50:59 right turn your head to the left and
51:01 you're done
51:02 and then it creates a little icon of you
51:07 and that's your cameo
51:10 and then when you're prompting in a
51:12 video you could say I want to be I want
51:15 to Show me in a bowling alley. You click
51:17 on your little icon and it types in your
51:20 name, your username, Kyle Shannon is at
51:23 a bowling alley talking about hot sauce.
51:27 Push the button and it generates me
51:29 bowling talking about hot sauce. It's
51:31 [ __ ] hilarious. And I'm going to
51:32 share that. A lot of people's first
51:35 experience with AI,
51:38 they're likely not going to know it's
51:40 AI,
51:42 but they're going to be like, "Oh,
51:43 that's kind of magical. That's kind of
51:44 cool. And there's something about the
51:47 simplicity of just click on your
51:48 friend's face and now you can make a
51:51 video about them. No one's going to talk
51:54 about AI slop. No one's going to talk
51:56 about energy conservation or how much
51:57 [ __ ] water the system takes
52:00 or the robots are going to kill us.
52:03 They're going to make meme videos of
52:04 their friends. And what they're going to
52:06 talk about is, "Oh, that one was funny
52:08 where you farted in the hot tub."
52:13 That's what they're going to talk about.
52:15 And then what are they going to do next?
52:17 Huh?
52:19 Wait, I So, could I just make a video of
52:22 like a cartoon of of me and the kids?
52:26 That would be kind of fun, you know? I
52:29 always I always I had an idea that was
52:31 like South Park. I always wanted to make
52:33 like a cartoon. Like, what if I made
52:35 like a short a short form version of my
52:38 cartoon? I always dreamed about People
52:44 are going to stumble into their passion.
52:48 People are going to stumble into the
52:50 fact that these tools can amplify them.
52:56 So the people that are afraid of AI
52:58 right now are making assumptions about
53:00 it. One of the assumptions is I need a
53:03 math degree.
53:05 I need to be an engineer.
53:08 I need to know prompt engineering. Oh my
53:10 god, that sounds awful.
53:14 You don't need to know prompt
53:16 engineering.
53:20 If you want to, you can.
53:23 If you want to start building AI tools,
53:25 it would probably be a good thing to
53:26 know and understand what a structured
53:28 prompt is.
53:30 But there's going to be tools out there
53:32 where you're just going to click on [ __ ]
53:33 just like the internet. Click, click,
53:35 click. Internet, internet, internet.
53:37 It's going to be like that. Tap tap tap.
53:39 AI. AI AI.
53:45 How many people are here? 41 37 over
53:47 there.
53:49 Yeah. Jib Jab. Exactly. AI jib jab. It's
53:51 totally AI jip jab.
54:00 Let's go look at some
54:03 Tik Tok question. I don't see it.
54:06 There's not a pin right now. Okay. Mary
54:09 Mary,
54:10 so if you have to a video with the kids,
54:14 do you have to do the kids cameo
54:18 requirements? I don't I don't that I
54:20 don't know. I think you can upload a
54:22 picture of the kids and just say make a
54:24 video with me and the kids.
54:26 Um, let me share something here.
54:30 If you haven't seen these Sora videos,
54:32 they're [ __ ] crazy,
54:36 champ.
54:38 What is your deal? All right, hang on. I
54:41 gotta go do something evil with the
54:43 doggy. Come on.
54:51 He doesn't want
55:08 I don't know what's up with that dog.
55:10 That dog's a mess. All right. Am I
55:12 sharing my screen? Yeah. All right.
55:14 Black bar. I know. Producer Brandon.
55:18 Um, you can just make crazy ass. Oh,
55:22 their sight's still really hosed.
55:28 All right. We'll start we'll start with
55:31 the classic.
55:33 [Music]
55:36 Welcome to the Great Renaissance. You
55:39 know that word has AI in it, right?
55:43 [Music]
55:45 >> All right, we'll we'll leave that image
55:46 on screen. Question. Um, suggestions on
55:50 how to get great ideas with the new
55:52 Sora. Okay, so my my mantra in 2025 has
55:57 been stop using your brain so much. Um,
56:02 Da da.
56:05 Um,
56:08 okay. Here here's a here's the thing
56:10 that I do whenever I whenever I
56:13 encounter something like Sora here.
56:15 We'll just we'll just do it live.
56:18 Do it live. So, I'm going to switch over
56:20 to chat GPT.
56:24 Go new chat.
56:27 And then I'm gonna I'll say um
56:32 I want you to give me
56:37 a pile of ideas
56:40 for the new Sora
56:44 2 video generation
56:49 model.
56:51 Um
56:53 and then I'll give it a little bit of
56:54 parameters. The clips
56:58 are 10 seconds long and can have
57:04 one to 10
57:07 shots
57:09 per clip.
57:12 act as a
57:16 um social
57:18 media
57:20 expert and
57:24 um
57:25 movie director and
57:29 cinematographer.
57:32 And you're like, "Well, wait, someone
57:33 can't be a social media person and a
57:35 cinematographer." Oh, yes, they can
57:38 because I just made it. So,
57:40 I'm I'm going to mash these people
57:42 together and they're going to be [ __ ]
57:44 rock stars. Act as a social media expert
57:46 and movie director and cinematographer
57:50 um and
57:52 um writer
57:55 and come up with
58:01 20
58:03 prompts
58:05 that include
58:09 characters, shots, locations,
58:13 and a concept
58:16 that will be, I don't know, funny,
58:21 uh, dramatic
58:24 or moving
58:29 and just go see what it does.
58:33 All right,
58:35 Kyle typing conversation. I know. It's
58:37 miserable, isn't it?
58:47 Oh, yeah.
58:49 Um, funny concepts, elevator etiquette
58:53 goes wrong, location, modern elevator,
58:55 stranger shots, tight closeup, ends with
58:59 Okay, this isn't a great prompt. Like,
59:02 but let's take a shitty prompt here.
59:04 Okay, so here's the Wait, fix this tab.
59:07 Oh, yeah. Sora Sora the Sora web app is
59:10 so bad that it's we probably just have
59:13 to start over, but that's all right. Um,
59:15 elevator etiquette goes wrong. Modern
59:17 office elevator. Three strangers, one
59:19 holding a giant inflatable duck. Tight
59:22 closeup on awkward faces as the duck
59:24 squeaks.
59:26 Ends with doors opening to a full
59:29 boardroom waiting. Okay, sure, why not?
59:32 So, let's go to Sora.
59:34 That thing died. So, let me kill that
59:36 tab.
59:38 Create a new tab.
59:41 Sora do.
59:44 Okay. So, here's our little prompt. So,
59:45 I'm literally just going to paste it in
59:47 and and go make it go. This is this is
59:51 how you do it. Now, here's another thing
59:53 you can do with chat GBT. Oh, wait. I
59:56 didn't share this. Anyway, I just So,
59:57 what I just did is I went to Sora. I put
1:00:00 in the prompt that I copied out of chat
1:00:02 GBT and hit build. So, we'll see if that
1:00:05 works. Now, here's another thing you can
1:00:07 do. Um,
1:00:10 so I now know that I've got um Vicky
1:00:12 Baptiste is at Vicki. I know that I'm in
1:00:15 there as Kyle Shannon. I know that Sam
1:00:17 Alman is in there as Samma. So, I'm
1:00:19 gonna say
1:00:21 now I want you to include
1:00:28 Kyle
1:00:30 at Kyle Shannon
1:00:37 Vicky
1:00:39 at Vicky
1:00:42 and Sam
1:00:44 at Samma.
1:00:47 Um,
1:00:50 as characters in your scenes
1:00:55 also
1:00:56 give more
1:00:59 detail
1:01:02 for the shots.
1:01:06 Okay.
1:01:10 Oh, wait. So you say uh for for the
1:01:14 characters
1:01:18 you have to use their at names.
1:01:24 So have it rewrite them.
1:01:32 We did some fun ones today.
1:01:35 All right, let's see the elevator duck.
1:01:39 Let's do another one. Drone delivery
1:01:41 duel. Wrong yoga class. This could be
1:01:43 good. Rooftop at sunrise. Vicky leads
1:01:46 yoga. Kyle Shannon in a Spider-Man
1:01:49 costume. And Sam filming.
1:01:57 Okay, this one's good. Okay. So, so the
1:02:00 the the uh how do you generate ideas?
1:02:03 Don't generate ideas. have chat GBT give
1:02:06 you ideas and then just curate the ones
1:02:08 that like are the least shitty. All
1:02:12 right, so now we'll go back to here. Oh,
1:02:15 wait. I didn't switch my tabs again.
1:02:17 Anyway, sorry. I was just at I was just
1:02:19 at chat GPT.
1:02:22 Here's all the stuff I made. Sorry about
1:02:24 that. Bad bad host. Um there's my
1:02:29 there's my prompt.
1:02:31 So, I'm gonna pop that in there. Unable
1:02:33 to generate. You're not allowed to
1:02:35 access
1:02:37 one or more mentioned cameos.
1:02:40 Which which ones?
1:02:45 Oh, maybe maybe we made too many too
1:02:47 many salmon ones.
1:02:49 Let me try it again.
1:03:01 Let me let me get rid of this. Let me
1:03:02 just see if I can generate a Sama one on
1:03:04 his own. Sama um
1:03:09 is bowling talking about hot sauce
1:03:18 added to Q. All right. So, what's not
1:03:20 working?
1:03:26 Oh, the quack. The the first elevator
1:03:28 one's done.
1:03:31 added the queue.
1:03:33 Oh, this is already
1:03:35 crapped out. God, this is horrible.
1:03:40 Um,
1:03:48 [Music]
1:03:55 all right, let's go look at our guys
1:03:58 pointed
1:04:04 Sorry, it's uh hard to keep quiet.
1:04:07 >> Mhm.
1:04:09 >> Is that
1:04:10 >> Oh,
1:04:11 [Laughter]
1:04:14 >> sorry. It's uh hard to keep quiet.
1:04:17 >> Mhm.
1:04:19 >> Is that
1:04:25 >> Sorry, it's uh hard to keep quiet.
1:04:31 Oh, that's good. We'll post that one.
1:04:35 >> Sorry, it's uh hard to keep quiet.
1:04:38 >> All right, so let me try to make that
1:04:41 big. Wrong. Yoga class. Rooftop. Vicki
1:04:44 leads yoga. Oh, maybe I don't have
1:04:46 Vicky's permission.
1:04:50 Wait, here's Danielle.
1:04:52 Let me add Danielle to the mix here.
1:04:55 Okay,
1:04:56 hang on. Sorry, Vicki. Oh, but I
1:04:58 probably don't have Danielle's. Did I
1:05:00 follow Danielle? I don't know if
1:05:02 Danielle's got her She might have her
1:05:04 stuff turned off. Hopefully, she
1:05:06 doesn't. Let's get rid of Vicki.
1:05:08 Vickiy's probably got her privacy turned
1:05:09 on. That's probably what's going on.
1:05:13 Vickiy's Vickiy's smart. She's like, I
1:05:15 turn By the way, if you want to just go
1:05:17 make one of me, you can. I turned it on.
1:05:20 Everyone can can deep fake me. Uh uh.
1:05:26 Where's Vicki? Okay, here's here's
1:05:28 Vicki. Let's get rid of this.
1:05:31 Put in Danielle.
1:05:33 According to Side Hustle, Sora codes
1:05:36 work more than once.
1:05:38 Yeah, you get four of them.
1:05:41 You get four Sora codes per account that
1:05:45 you can give out.
1:05:51 Same one can work multiple times. I
1:05:54 think it's the same code, but it's it
1:05:56 the counter counts down on against your
1:05:59 account,
1:06:01 but maybe they upped it from four to
1:06:02 something higher. Um, but it's always
1:06:05 the same code that I've been giving out.
1:06:08 All right. Oh, here's Vicki. Vicki
1:06:10 centered. Let's get rid of Vicky. Sorry,
1:06:12 Vicki. I hope if Danielle doesn't have
1:06:15 her her stuff turned on, I'm going to be
1:06:17 cranky.
1:06:19 All right, go. Yes. All right, we're in.
1:06:24 It's the same code. You get the Sora
1:06:27 ones and it can be used four times.
1:06:28 Yeah, exactly. That's right.
1:06:31 Date.
1:06:34 Okay, so while those things are are
1:06:36 going, we'll go watch some other videos.
1:06:38 Here's one. This is one that kind of
1:06:40 blew my mind.
1:06:44 >> Check it out.
1:06:45 >> When the world gets extreme, only one
1:06:46 dude shrugs it off.
1:06:47 >> Survivor.
1:06:48 >> Fully poseable with real attitude voice
1:06:50 chip. Whatever. skate chiller hideout in
1:06:52 the coffee shop
1:06:59 >> and the page crashed. God damn it.
1:07:02 Um,
1:07:04 this this video is 10 shots. The prompt
1:07:09 was make me a '9s toy ad about being a
1:07:13 Gen X survivor.
1:07:16 And it's 10 shot. It it designed the
1:07:19 logos, the guy, the blister pack, the
1:07:22 actors.
1:07:24 It's [ __ ] crazy.
1:07:28 But this
1:07:29 site is unusable.
1:07:36 Dear Sam,
1:07:38 um could you [ __ ] fix your site
1:07:42 and give us 16 by9 outputs
1:07:45 in image generation and turn off the
1:07:49 piss filter and
1:07:54 and take the watermarks off Sora videos,
1:07:56 please. Sam Sam, everyone can deep fake
1:08:00 Kyle.
1:08:03 It's so stupid of me to put it out
1:08:05 there, but who gives a [ __ ]
1:08:08 I don't know. Doesn't matter. Wait, why
1:08:10 can't we not hear this now? Oh, cuz
1:08:12 audio's off.
1:08:13 >> Yeah, whatever.
1:08:14 >> Skate chiller hideout in the coffee
1:08:15 shop.
1:08:16 >> Survivor.
1:08:17 >> Check it out.
1:08:17 >> When the world gets extreme, only one
1:08:19 dude shrugs it off.
1:08:20 >> Survivor.
1:08:21 >> Fully poseable with real attitude voice.
1:08:24 >> Yeah, that was that one. My next my my
1:08:26 one that I my new favorite one I did is

1:21:44 learning lab site. Oh, did I say AI
1:21:46 learning lab site?
1:21:49 Sorry. They they get confused in my
1:21:51 mind. AI Salon. Think of AI Salon as the
1:21:54 umbrella AI learning lab sits somewhere
1:21:57 underneath it. But yeah, this is the AI
1:22:00 salon website. Sorry about that.
1:22:07 But I think it is just beautiful. It's
1:22:10 beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Looks
1:22:12 really nice. Thank you very much. New
1:22:13 site's really cool.
1:22:16 Uh uh
1:22:22 [Music]
1:22:24 Okay. All right, everyone. Listen, we've
1:22:26 had fun here tonight. We've talked
1:22:28 philosophy.
1:22:30 We've talked AI.
1:22:33 We ruined Brandon's Wi-Fi.
1:22:36 Um, tomorrow
1:22:42 at 11:00 a.m. Mountain time
1:22:46 we've got
1:22:48 AI AI Salon office hours and meet and
1:22:52 greet. So that's at 11.
1:22:55 Um, at 12 if you're a matter a member of
1:22:59 the mastermind.
1:23:01 Um,
1:23:02 we've got the AI founders hangout
1:23:06 that's that's at noon. It's half it's a
1:23:08 half hour. I'm going to extend that
1:23:10 meeting from a half hour to an hour um
1:23:13 for mastermind members because I feel
1:23:15 like we we just get rolling in that
1:23:17 meeting and it's over. So, if you're a
1:23:20 mastermind member, tomorrow I can't do
1:23:22 it. Someone booked the second half hour.
1:23:25 Um, so tomorrow I can't do it, but
1:23:27 starting next week that's going to be an
1:23:29 hour.
1:23:31 Uh oh, video generation failed.
1:23:33 Something failed on Sora. It probably
1:23:35 hit a community violation for something
1:23:37 or other. Um,
1:23:39 and then tomorrow night is Friday night
1:23:42 date night. It is first Friday, so that
1:23:44 means I probably have some gallery
1:23:46 duties. I probably have to go gallery
1:23:48 hopping with the misses. Um, so I may be
1:23:51 late tonight or tomorrow, so it'll
1:23:53 probably be 8:30 or 9 Mountain time, but
1:23:56 we'll have Friday night date night. So,
1:23:57 get the get your nachos ingredients, go
1:23:59 buy the extra hot pockets you need, and
1:24:02 uh yeah, and you know, we'll do all that
1:24:05 happy happy stuff. Happy happy fun ball.
1:24:10 All right. All right.
1:24:12 Y'all have fun tonight. I don't know if
1:24:15 we did anything. I think I just yapped.
1:24:21 It was a bit of a yappy.
1:24:24 Uh uh. on generating a new C came Cameo
1:24:26 video.
1:24:28 Um, Sora homework. Well, the the Sora
1:24:32 homework would be get yourself a code.
1:24:35 Here's my request. If you get yourself a
1:24:38 code, share it with people in the AI
1:24:40 salon. Whoever your favorite people are
1:24:42 in the AI salon, reach out to them and
1:24:44 then let's start sharing um, you know,
1:24:47 what we're learning from it in the
1:24:48 salon, things like that. Like, let let's
1:24:50 start spreading the knowledge a bit. Um
1:24:54 the the homework would be um start to
1:24:58 understand what it can do and what it
1:25:01 can't do. Like what's it good at? What's
1:25:02 it not good at? Start to figure out
1:25:03 where the boundaries of Sora are. I
1:25:06 would just play a lot with cameos.
1:25:09 I'd play a lot with cameos because
1:25:16 they're going to get pe people are going
1:25:18 to get really good at these cameos.
1:25:21 So imagine like right now I'm just sort
1:25:23 of plopping my name in there and
1:25:24 generating a video but like what about
1:25:26 doing it in different styles in
1:25:28 different costumes with different
1:25:30 accents in different languages talking
1:25:32 about different products um you know
1:25:35 sitcom version of me, drama version of
1:25:37 me, commercial version of me,
1:25:39 motivational speaker version of me, what
1:25:42 what do all those look like? Right? So
1:25:44 start to explore that with your own
1:25:46 cameo. Um, and then start exploring Sora
1:25:50 just as a general video model. It is
1:25:53 insane
1:25:54 how much it knows about the world. It's
1:25:57 It's actually kind of crazy. All right.
1:26:00 Um,
1:26:02 Brandon,
1:26:03 producer Brandon, while we were
1:26:07 um while we were having fun, he was off
1:26:10 vibe coding
1:26:13 and and he he made a game. So, let's
1:26:16 let's go look at his game. Oh, this is
1:26:19 hilarious. All right.
1:26:21 Can I share this tab? Yeah,
1:26:25 and then I can do this. Brandon, you
1:26:27 want to hop up and talk about your game?
1:26:35 Yeah. So, uh, tonight's Lovable Builder
1:26:38 Hackathon. So, if you didn't know,
1:26:39 Lovable is doing seven days of build
1:26:42 hack. Tonight was make a game and you
1:26:44 get free access to Gemini imagery and
1:26:47 Gemini like conversational API during
1:26:50 this week. And so I took a classic game
1:26:54 Oregon Trail, which most of you will
1:26:56 probably recognize, and converted it
1:26:59 into the 2025 version of Commuter Trail.
1:27:02 >> Commuter Trail.
1:27:03 >> Kyle, should we try to get to work? It's
1:27:05 It's a pretty quick play.
1:27:07 >> Let's go. Okay, passenger one. Okay,
1:27:09 we'll we'll go. Brandon is passenger
1:27:12 one.
1:27:13 Passenger two is Kyle. Very nice. Uh,
1:27:16 continue. All right. Music snob. Insist
1:27:20 on controlling the radio.
1:27:23 One of two. Next passenger. Kyle.
1:27:25 Germaphobe. Obsessed with hand
1:27:27 sanitizer. Keeps everyone healthy but
1:27:29 costs extra cash. Start commute.
1:27:32 Crafting your story.
1:27:35 Yeah, this is awesome. And so it's it's
1:27:37 a text game. Does it have any audio in
1:27:39 it?
1:27:40 >> No audio. No. Yeah. I No time for audio.
1:27:42 I only have 24 hours to build this
1:27:44 thing.
1:27:45 >> All right. Drive. Drive highway. Take
1:27:48 the train. Coffee break. Risky shortcut.
1:27:50 We're going risky shortcut, buddy.
1:27:53 Forging the underpass. Engine flooded.
1:27:55 Oh, wamp wamp w.
1:27:58 Your engine is flooded. Tow truck
1:28:00 repairs cost $75 and took 50 minutes.
1:28:04 This is a disaster. We have 25 bucks
1:28:07 left. Continue. Uh, we'll take a coffee
1:28:11 break. I'm exhausted.
1:28:14 Found money. You found a $20 bill on the
1:28:17 cafe floor. Score.
1:28:22 This is awesome. There you go, people.
1:28:25 You want to make a game?
1:28:26 >> And I just want to share that I This is
1:28:28 maybe an hour's worth of vibe coding,
1:28:31 >> right?
1:28:31 >> While producing the learning lab.
1:28:34 >> Yeah. So I mean tell tell people like
1:28:38 like what's been your experience of vibe
1:28:40 coding like like I guess I guess I guess
1:28:42 my question is where are you coming up
1:28:44 with ideas and then what are you
1:28:46 learning about how to like one of my
1:28:49 frustrations with vibe coding is the
1:28:51 doom loops right where you just it keeps
1:28:54 breaking something more and more like
1:28:56 what what are your like what are your
1:28:57 lessons so far as you've been digging
1:29:00 into this? Yeah. So, as far as ideas,
1:29:03 you know, they're having a theme of each
1:29:04 night. So, if you go to
1:29:05 lovable.devcloud,
1:29:08 it talks about the contest and all the
1:29:10 different things that you can do. I'm
1:29:12 talking now, which I don't normally do.
1:29:14 So, my dog thinks it's time to go for a
1:29:15 walk. So,
1:29:16 >> Oh, that's hilarious. Uh but um what
1:29:19 we're what we're seeing here is chat GBT
1:29:22 is been my home base for iteration and I
1:29:26 basically give it a general sense of
1:29:27 what I think I can do with the idea and
1:29:30 a general direction to run in and have
1:29:32 it spit out 10 ideas and if it doesn't
1:29:34 like I if I don't like any of those
1:29:36 ideas I refine it and have it give me
1:29:38 five more then I take those and stack
1:29:40 rank them flush them out and so I spend
1:29:42 about 20 minutes with chatbt getting to
1:29:44 a really good solid idea that that I
1:29:46 like
1:29:47 >> and then I say give me the levelable
1:29:49 prompt for it and then I copy and paste
1:29:51 that and I can usually zero shot
1:29:53 >> something functional and then from there
1:29:55 it's just iterating the colors and the
1:29:57 the nuances of it before I push it live.
1:30:01 >> That's cool. And the lovable prompt like
1:30:03 how how robust are the prompts? Are they
1:30:05 simple or
1:30:06 >> It is really robust. It gives me about
1:30:08 three pages of content that I just copy
1:30:10 and paste in. It gives it everything
1:30:12 from architecture to UI design to
1:30:15 everything that it would need to do its
1:30:17 thing. Um, you asked about what to do if
1:30:20 it if you get stuck. So, I found that
1:30:22 Lovable is really good at single
1:30:25 instance updates. So, it's making um if
1:30:29 you tell tell it to fix one thing, it
1:30:31 does better than trying to fix eight
1:30:33 different things.
1:30:34 >> Oh, they've got a they've got a light
1:30:36 bulb there that's a chat button that you
1:30:38 can chat with it and it can think and it
1:30:40 can do recursive thinking before it goes
1:30:45 um out and changes the code. So,
1:30:48 >> oh,
1:30:48 >> sometimes I've gotten stuck and I'll
1:30:50 say, "Hang on, this was working a little
1:30:53 while ago. I want you to stop
1:30:55 everything, go back, figure out where
1:30:57 this one particular feature broke and
1:30:59 went sideways, and just focus all of
1:31:01 your energy and effort on fixing that,
1:31:03 and don't worry about anything else.
1:31:05 That's the most important thing right
1:31:06 now. and I put it laser focused on
1:31:09 solving one specific problem and it's
1:31:11 usually pretty good about breaking that
1:31:12 cycle and then I can go back and start
1:31:15 building it back up from there.
1:31:16 >> Okay. All right. Cool.
1:31:17 >> You can also revert back if you if
1:31:19 you've bookmarked a previous version,
1:31:21 you can also bookmark it and go back and
1:31:23 restore previous version if you
1:31:24 >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Cool.
1:31:26 >> Where you've left off.
1:31:27 >> That's groovy. All right. Cool. So, if
1:31:28 you haven't played with Vibe Coding yet,
1:31:30 go
1:31:30 >> I'll post that uh I'll post that game in
1:31:32 the salon. But it it's uh it's a it's a
1:31:35 lot of fun. All right, commuter trail.
1:31:37 Commuter-trail.lovable.app.

1:31:43 Let's get on out of here. Let people go
1:31:44 sleep. Go do your go do your nappy thing
1:31:47 and get to work. I'm iterating with wind
1:31:50 surf and chat GBT sonet 4.5. Still can't
1:31:53 get a working MVP. Oh, that sucks. Let's
1:31:57 play. Whose dog is that? Yeah, that was
1:31:58 that was Brandon's dog. We gota we got

1:32:04 snoozed out.
1:32:06 Um, how was the vacuum? Um, can I get a
1:32:10 code? I don't have one. I'm all out. All
1:32:12 right. Um, good night tomorrow, Friday.
1:32:16 See you at office hours
1:32:19 or if you're in the AI Salon mastermind,
