an Source Camp 1:54 will you guys at least go on LinkedIn 1:56 and say hi in the chat so that it looks 1:59 like we friends yeah go on go on watch 2:03 the stream on on LinkedIn cuz when you 2:05 comment there you can see the man right 2:07 you can see the the chats yeah we can 2:10 all see them and then we can do you like 2:14 stream me no I don't like any of these 2:17 streaming apps they're horrible I know 2:19 they're all they're all bad they're 2:21 horrible I thought I thought maybe you 2:22 found a secret it's it's good to know 2:25 everything's still 2:27 janky everything is I taught my my uh 2:30 my boot camp participants drank a piece 2:33 of [ __ ] today I was like okay here I 2:34 need to I need to introduce you to the 2:37 term it's a technical 2:39 [Laughter] 2:41 term okay so let me see all right let me 2:46 get this camera going correctly wait how 2:48 am I going to do this hang on hold on 2:50 people so people on Tik Tok I'm just 2:52 you're basically just tagging along for 2:54 the 2:56 ride um I am oops let's see how we going 3:01 to do this I thought this will work and 3:04 but I will say this Kyle restream just 3:07 got a huge upgrade and so the ex like 3:12 the options 3:14 inside are it's way better but there are 3:18 just some things with all of them that 3:21 are like first of all why do we have to 3:23 go through 15 different steps just well 3:25 it's also LinkedIn like they make it so 3:28 hard to stream into LinkedIn I know I 3:31 know it's ridiculous if you're not 3:32 willing to dick around with this like 3:35 yeah yeah and it's and it's in 3:37 linkedin's interest to have people 3:39 dumping content onto their platform you 3:42 know I 3:43 know what am I doing here I don't know 3:46 you're the host what is happening I'm 3:49 just following your lead if what is 3:52 going on why is this for those of you on 3:55 Tik Tok this isn't live yet we still got 3:57 six minutes before it'll be live on 3:59 LinkedIn 4:01 what do I what's going on so they they 4:04 invented this thing called 4:06 scenes yeah and I don't know how to like 4:10 be in charge of 4:13 them don don yeah no I already texted 4:17 him I'm like my monitors won't work he's 4:20 like I'm at Walmart I'm like Walmart is 4:22 4 minutes away you can come for now if 4:25 you loved if you loved me you would come 4:27 home right now 4:31 I was uh put your cream corn back and 4:34 get get put it down step away from the 4:38 gummy nerd clusters okay um uh let's see 4:43 here gummy nerd clusters are delicious 4:45 let's be honest why did they make those 4:47 so delicious they're so bad they're so 4:49 bad they're so bad they're so good I 4:52 love to hate myself over you know 4:54 there's that there's that research where 4:55 they said Skittles are the worst food to 4:57 eat like Baron I think those nerd gummy 5:00 clusters have to be worse than Skittles 5:03 they have to be because they're too good 5:05 just they're so good they're too good so 5:08 good um this morning I was telling some 5:11 people to oh we were having the okay so 5:15 it started with conversation about that 5:17 lawsuit that was in the news today about 5:19 the parents of the kid in Massachusetts 5:22 who now his prospects of going to an Ivy 5:25 League school are dashed because he got 5:27 busted using AI but maybe he wasn't 5:30 using 5:31 Ai and so then that led to a 5:33 conversation 5:34 about um AI 5:37 detectors and so that led to me telling 5:42 everybody about the talent Crush that I 5:43 have on Ethan 5:46 molik see yeah I've got yeah that's a 5:49 it's a great way to put it the talent 5:51 Crush I've sort of got that too I'm like 5:53 am I am I jealous of him or just totally 5:56 captivated and I can't figure out which 5:58 one it is 6:00 exactly I'm totally captivated like I 6:03 swear he could tell me to jump off a 6:06 bridge and I'm he is the one I might 6:07 actually do it um and then I was like 6:13 you know Fort you know he's not he's not 6:14 exactly my type which is good news for 6:16 me and my husband we just celebrated our 6:18 10 year 6:19 anniversary and um I was texting Donnie 6:23 I was like my neck is hot can you bring 6:25 me a hair 6:28 clip I'm like I I don't know if Ethan 6:30 mik would bring me a hairclip 6:32 exactly he'd be he'd be too busy 6:35 intellectualizing and reading research 6:38 you know he just he wouldn't he wouldn't 6:40 take care of you and I think you're not 6:42 not the way not the way I've become 6:44 accustomed to we'll put it that way 6:46 exactly um for for ticktockers it's 6:49 still three minutes until the uh 6:51 LinkedIn live stream starts that's why 6:53 you can't do it so an will let you in at 6:55 the appropriate time oh you know what 6:57 I'll do is oh do you want to talk about 6:59 anything before we go yeah we should 7:01 hold on one second let me I've got 7:04 something cool that I can 7:06 do 7:07 [Music] 7:09 um 7:11 design I've got some kind of like 7:16 a something cool that I can put 7:21 up oh yeah look at 7:24 that my mic is muted during the 7:26 countdown 7:30 all right there's your timer 7:33 people there's your timer 7:38 people meetings are done for the day 7:40 I'll join and watch on LinkedIn very 7:43 nice Jim Ross good to see 7:45 you okay so 7:49 um yeah what do we want to talk about do 7:51 you have anything that you want to talk 7:52 about other than just regular banter and 7:57 uh digital twins like anything any 8:00 particular lead in that you want me to 8:02 do for 8:05 you 8:10 um I I think it's a little esoteric I 8:13 mean I I I think the like the the thing 8:15 that's striking me the the the video 8:17 that I put up on link or on Tik Tok 8:19 today about that I feel like AI has 8:22 risen above the tools and that and and 8:25 that it's like almost any tool you pick 8:26 is going to give you some version of 8:28 remarkable and they're all the same 8:30 thing you use your words and ask for 8:32 what you want and it gives it to you and 8:34 then and so what it does for me is it 8:36 sort of elevates the conversation to 8:38 like why are we doing this what are we 8:39 doing so I so for me I mean I think 8:42 because you and I have such a long 8:44 history in this if there's anything 8:46 around you know just sort of where are 8:48 you today versus where we were before we 8:51 can Vamp on that but I don't want it to 8:52 take away from the Twin discussion CU 8:54 that's big and hairy too so I'm happy to 8:56 go either way you want okay um let's be 9:01 sure that you have the opportunity to 9:05 talk about the AI Salon though because I 9:07 want people to know that they have 9:10 places to go like I have seen a whole 9:13 new wave recently of people who don't 9:16 know where to start people who have 9:19 never made a custom GPT or never even 9:21 heard of them or have heard of them the 9:23 digital twin thing is like blowing 9:25 people's minds there's been more people 9:27 Fe asking me stuff like is it too late 9:30 to learn I want them to know about the 9:32 AI Salon I'll tell them about our 9:34 incubator but that's you know Niche um 9:39 trying to figure out can I edit 9:41 my my

special 11:56 show today and I'm really excited to 11:58 introduce you to my friend friend Kyle 12:00 Shannon in just a minute um for those of 12:03 you who haven't been here before this is 12:04 the AI empowered fundraiser show I'm an 12:07 Murphy we um are just continuing in our 12:11 series of we don't know what we are 12:15 doing here in AI in making a live cast 12:21 in showing up on camera and talking 12:24 about things that we are barely you know 12:28 sort of beginning to wrap W our arms 12:30 around and that is like what the vibe of 12:34 our extended Community is that it's 12:37 totally okay and you are most welcome to 12:42 show up as the hot messy human that you 12:45 are being in a beginner's mindset doing 12:50 things with AI that you aren't supposed 12:53 to know how to do no one woke up one day 12:56 and was like oh I know how to write a 13:00 prompt or I know how to test the user 13:04 interfaces of five different Frontier 13:06 models or remember like the I don't know 13:10 8,000 or something new AI platforms that 13:14 are out there all of us in this space no 13:16 matter how much you know we are all on a 13:20 journey as a beginner compared to others 13:23 what my friend Kyle who's coming on in a 13:27 second what he taught me is that when 13:30 you can be the fifth grader to the 13:33 fourth graders in this space that's when 13:36 you are ready to go that's when you are 13:38 ready for prime time that's when you can 13:40 start teaching other people how to use 13:42 the tools and he was way more than a 13:45 fifth grader to the fourth graders when 13:47 I started learning from him I'm excited 13:50 to introduce you to him and invite you 13:52 and encourage you to spend time with him 13:55 he shows up on Tik Tok almost every sing 13:59 single night for the past I'm going to 14:01 guess it's like maybe 380 390 days or 14:06 something at this point it's a lot of 14:08 days and he's there every single almost 14:11 every single night teaching all of us 14:14 how to use the tools and also making it 14:18 super fun and we've all become friends 14:21 and we've all joined this community 14:23 called the AI Salon where you will meet 14:26 other beginners other people who are 14:29 aspiring you know moving in the 14:31 direction of moving away from being a 14:34 beginner but none of us show up thinking 14:38 or like fronting that we are experts in 14:41 this space and 14:42 so I'm um like I said really happy we're 14:46 going to I just dropped the the 14:50 URL who diss is every I just dropped the 14:53 URL into the chat so that's how you'll 14:56 find Kyle's Kyle and his friend Leah 15:00 fast's Community called the AI salon and 15:03 you'll find a whole bunch of really 15:05 really nice people there um before I 15:09 bring Kyle on I wanted to highlight a 15:12 little bit of what we're doing in the AI 15:14 empowered fundraiser World um one of the 15:17 things that Kyle and I talk about a lot 15:19 is how important Community is and I 15:22 always like to say that the three things 15:25 that you need to be you know quote 15:28 unquote good at AI are a curious mind a 15:32 willingness to be vulnerable and 15:34 community and what I found over time is 15:37 that even better than Community is 15:39 friendships and so along my AI journey I 15:44 met a lot of women who were really 15:47 interested in building relationships 15:49 around Ai and sometimes it's just like 15:52 AI is this foil character and what we're 15:54 really doing is repotting ourselves 15:57 right trying new things together like 16:01 becoming more of who we always thought 16:04 we would be looking for opportunities to 16:07 step into leadership roles like being a 16:09 leader in the AI space is an incredibly 16:12 profound role that you can play in 16:14 society right now and this group our 16:16 incubator membership Community is a 16:18 bunch of women who are leading the way 16:20 in AI we are all friends we connect um 16:23 on Mighty networks all day all night we 16:27 have special events we're talking about 16:29 a book club we're talking about a 16:30 podcast we would love to have you in 16:33 there or at least check it out so 16:35 there's a QR code in the corner there if 16:38 you put your camera edit and take a 16:40 picture or um put your camera edit and 16:42 press the little button that pops up 16:44 you'll be able to explore the incubator 16:47 and we would love to um chat with you if 16:50 you have any questions so I wanted to 16:52 let you know that that exists and now I 16:55 am going to bring on no one other than 16:59 well first let me do this stop screen 17:02 sharing I bring you my friend and soon 17:06 to be yours Kyle Shannon hey Murphy 17:10 what's 17:12 happening so everybody who if you don't 17:15 know Kyle this is Kyle and like prepare 17:19 now that you know Kyle you he you'll see 17:22 him everywhere he's it's one of those 17:24 things now that you know him you're 17:25 going to see him everywhere and that is 17:27 a really good thing for your life so 17:28 while we have him on here going to 17:29 embarrass him a little bit so oh boy kle 17:33 I was I well I love first of all I loved 17:35 your your intro and I I I enter as the 17:38 enthusiastically clueless so take it 17:40 from there we go yes we are we are the 17:44 enthusiastically clueless and I think uh 17:47 one of the things that um really drew me 17:50 to Kyle and learning from him early on 17:53 was just that sense of nobody's trying 17:56 to say here in this community nobody 17:59 he's trying to trying to act like we 18:01 know what the hell is going on and we've 18:03 got all the answers and we're literally 18:06 learning together I have watched Kyle 18:09 figure stuff out in the moment hours and 18:12 hours and hours of my life and I've 18:13 learned so much in that process so first 18:17 I want to say thank you for being 18:19 willing to show up like half baked right 18:23 you're not you're not saying like I'm 18:26 I'm ready I'm I'm the leader of the 18:28 leaders I know all the things and you 18:30 have the chops you have the experience 18:32 you could be like that but you're not 18:35 allows all of us to show up and learn as 18:37 I could you know note to self I'll try 18:39 to be douchier in the future but um no 18:42 it's just like I 18:44 feel like I 18:49 feel in a lot of ways less capable than 18:52 I ever have cuz the tools the tools are 18:54 evolving and getting so capable that 18:57 that you know my ability to understand 19:00 what to do with them is actually going 19:01 down but um but yeah I I I think it's 19:04 just um I think it's more fun to be in a 19:06 beginner's mindset but I actually think 19:08 it's actually critical for where we are 19:09 with AI right now so thank you I'm I'm 19:12 really excited to be here okay same more 19:15 about The Beginner's mindset what does 19:18 that mean to 19:19 you 19:26 well be willing to be in that 19:29 uncomfortable place where that internal 19:31 voice in your head is going you're just 19:33 big fat dum 19:35 dum like let yourself just be the dumb 19:38 Dum like it I don't know for me 19:41 personally the way I sort of operate is 19:43 I love figuring stuff out and and I kind 19:45 of hate being in that place where I 19:46 can't figure it out and I happen to have 19:48 a brain that's good at figuring out 19:50 things 19:51 fast this AI stuff is a completely 19:54 different way of using a computer like 19:56 you know with with traditional Computing 19:58 it's programmed it's it's deterministic 20:01 where you put in an input and you get 20:03 back a predictable output AI is not that 20:06 AI is you kind of say your words right 20:10 you I think of like training a toddler 20:12 okay say your words do you want cake say 20:15 you want cake and I feel like that's 20:17 that that's kind of like where we are 20:19 with AI and and you say I want cake and 20:22 then it gives you back something that 20:24 may or may not be what you want and and 20:27 people that 20:30 go into that place of wanting to figure 20:33 it out and wanting to to have it be 20:35 predictable I find I I watch them I 20:38 witness them being increasingly 20:40 frustrated because it it doesn't quite 20:43 give them what they want and then those 20:45 people that are just like well let me 20:46 see what I get and I'll come in here and 20:48 I'll just ask it for what I want and it 20:49 gives me that and then they go well 20:50 that's not what I wanted but that's kind 20:52 of cool and then they're willing to 20:53 expand on that or iterate on that they 20:56 tend to be much more um 20:59 you know happy for one thing like less 21:02 frustrated but they also tend to do 21:03 really remarkable work because the the 21:07 the difference between say what we used 21:09 to do with Google which was put in a 21:11 single prompt and get back you know your 21:12 search results um AI is much more like a 21:16 conversation and and it it really is 21:18 like having a conversation with you know 21:21 the most educated clueless intern you've 21:25 ever hired right where it knows lots of 21:28 stuff but it doesn't know anything about 21:30 you or what you're trying to accomplish 21:32 and and the minute you sort of flipped 21:33 your mindset into oh it's like it's like 21:36 someone I have to get up to speed on 21:38 things but once I do that it gives me 21:40 remarkable results that's that's kind of 21:43 it so for me that's a beginner's mindset 21:45 where where you know our ability to to 21:49 be masters of these tools I I don't 21:53 think is ever going to really exist I 21:55 think it's going to be an ongoing 21:57 conversation uh with with to that are 21:59 just increasingly capable and that that 22:02 intern at some point is going to be more 22:04 like a you know firste graduate and then 22:07 it's going to be like a you know uh you 22:10 know a a you know someone with a 10-year 22:13 employment history and then at some 22:14 point they're just going to be way 22:15 better than us on all levels and 22:17 everything and and we just got to Humble 22:20 it up got to Humble it up 22:23 I when when you place your raids right 22:27 and you're the person Who's acting the 22:29 thing out and nobody can guess what 22:32 you're acting out it's like well who's 22:34 the dummy is it the person who's is the 22:37 person who's acting it out and doing a 22:38 horrible job like you know you're like 22:40 this and they're like H and you're like 22:42 it's a sailboat obviously they're like I 22:45 thought it was an orange or a blueberry 22:47 it's not their fault it's not your fault 22:49 right but it's that's like talking to 22:51 Chad GPT where you learn for yourself 22:53 like oh if I go like this they're going 22:56 to know that it's a sailboat not a 22:59 blueberry if I go like that we're 23:01 totally going to run a ground yeah it's 23:03 it's a bit of a dance right it's a bit 23:05 of a dance and and and like and that's 23:08 not I mean I mean you and I are of an 23:11 age like we we've been around really 23:12 since the the dawn of personal computers 23:15 they've always behaved a certain way and 23:17 with this AI stuff they don't behave 23:19 that way so like like we're not used to 23:21 dancing with them and you know the the 23:23 new advanced voice from chat 23:25 GPT it can understand your emotions as 23:29 as well as your words and it can respond 23:30 in kind and it and it's we're not used 23:34 to computers actually acting like the 23:37 stuff that was always in science fiction 23:39 movies when we GRE grew up and it's this 23:42 is something that we're going to have to 23:43 learn how to how to interact with and 23:45 it's it's not learn it like we used to 23:47 learn it no it's not learn it like we 23:50 used to learn it so today we were 23:54 working I have a our one of our AI boot 23:57 camps is going on right now my friend 23:58 Rachel Kimber and I are running it and 24:00 today we were working on a fundraising 24:03 initiative and our our project was to 24:06 come up with some messaging but kind of 24:09 working against a couple of different 24:11 personas so like the old you know 24:13 retired engineering guy the you know 24:16 genen Z you know startup whatever and 24:20 testing our messaging against them and 24:23 when I walked when I you know set up 24:25 this exercise my goal was really very 24:28 you know output oriented let's be sure 24:31 that we have messaging that's going to 24:32 work and what I realized halfway through 24:35 it was that's not actually the exercise 24:37 the exercise is having it not work well 24:40 having watching Everybody try one thing 24:43 and then try another thing you know yep 24:46 much more important 24:48 to to kind of like roll up your sleeves 24:50 well play first like we talk about in 24:52 the as Salon everyone wants to we're 24:55 thinking about efficiency right we think 24:57 we I think AI gets kind of like a little 25:00 bit oversold on the efficiency front 25:04 than some of the quality and the 25:06 creativity and stuff but let's say we're 25:08 using it to be super efficient and we're 25:10 thinking about we're here we want this 25:12 outcome we haven't made time and space 25:15 to play so what we were all you know 25:18 talking about was how do you find time 25:21 in your life just to play with AI and I 25:25 shared with all of them like all of your 25:27 peeps in the AI Salon we just don't 25:31 sleep as much as we used 25:32 to that's that's a possibility there 25:35 there's there's another piece of it 25:37 though one of the i i i my relationship 25:41 to AI as an efficiency tool transformed 25:45 probably about a year ago cuz the first 25:47 thing I did when I started playing with 25:49 AI I was like oh I can make the stuff I 25:51 do it work more efficient and at some 25:53 point it hit me that thinking of AI just 25:57 as making the stuff that you do today 25:59 more efficient is actually dramatically 26:02 limiting because all you're thinking 26:04 about is here's what I do today and I 26:07 want to make that more efficient that's 26:09 how we've historically thought of 26:10 computers right it's this machine that's 26:12 going to do something for me so here's 26:14 what I do today I want to make that more 26:16 efficient what struck me was part of the 26:20 part of how we got to play first is that 26:23 if you say okay well this is what I do 26:24 today but we now have the possibility of 26:27 saying what if that AR the best way to 26:29 do things what if we could do things 26:31 completely different so rather than 26:32 making this thing more efficient what if 26:35 there's something completely different 26:36 we could do the only way you can really 26:38 get to that is to essentially drop your 26:41 expectations entirely right just put 26:44 your expectations to the side and say 26:46 okay I'm going to go do something 26:48 ridiculous here so let's say you you 26:50 want to work on um I I'll do something 26:53 really extreme let's say you've got a uh 26:56 I don't know an email process that that 26:58 you want to make make more efficient you 26:59 know how you would typically do that is 27:01 you'd figure out the process you'd go to 27:02 zappier or you'd figure out which parts 27:04 go to open AI well what if you took that 27:06 same time you were going to do that and 27:08 you went to sunno and you said I want to 27:10 write a song about how to do 27:13 emails that doesn't make any sense at 27:15 all it makes right and then what'll 27:17 happen is it'll write a song about 27:20 emails that will go give you an idea of 27:22 like wait a minute maybe I should 27:23 actually send songs to my clients 27:25 instead of these shitty update emails 27:27 and that's Jim Ross who I think is 27:29 watching on the stream um he he manages 27:32 self storage units and he's super he is 27:35 I would I would call him AI native like 27:37 he he tries to think first about using 27:40 AI to solve his problems and he's just 27:42 really adventurous he does something for 27:43 his business with AI an hour a day every 27:46 morning which I think is amazing and and 27:48 one night on the Tik Tok lives I was I 27:50 was saying here's how you make a song 27:52 and Jim was just like well I've got a 27:55 client I just met with a couple hours 27:56 ago why don't I just make them a song 27:58 about their business and he did and he 28:00 closed the business within 5 minutes 28:02 right that's not something that makes 28:06 sense right it doesn't make any sense um 28:10 and and yet if you do that it it will 28:13 open up all sorts of other avenues and 28:15 you will learn the tools in a way that 28:17 you're going to be able to go back to 28:19 that you know that efficiency project 28:22 that you had with a completely different 28:23 mindset so so for me that's again that 28:26 kind of goes back to the beginner 28:27 mindset just being don't be tied to 28:29 outcomes as much as we were historically 28:32 absolutely and and think about it as an 28:35 opportunity like have it in the back of 28:37 your mind all the time that this might 28:39 be an opportunity to break what's 28:41 already broken for example your email 28:44 newsletter that you're trying to 28:45 automate probably sucks 28:49 anyway all of them do all of ours do I 28:52 have one it kind of sucks like I mean 28:54 it's good it's the you know it's but 28:56 it's also it's still an email newsletter 28:58 and they 85,000 of them in my inbox 29:00 right now that I haven't read Y and so 29:03 when you're when you have the attitude 29:06 the approach of like let's break what's 29:08 already broken and you get a wild hair 29:11 you or you've like been on the AI Salon 29:13 you're like they were what was the name 29:14 of that thing was Ito was it clug was it 29:19 was it cing was it yeah exactly what was 29:23 it and you may not even you may get it 29:25 wrong and all of a sudden you're in a 29:26 different AI application yeah but then 29:28 all of a sudden you're like o maybe I 29:30 should be sending songs to my clients 29:33 rather than another same newsletter that 29:36 I've been sending them for the last 29:37 three or four years so there's so much 29:39 room for creativity I've learned so much 29:42 about like my own in my own Journey 29:45 about how creative I actually am I never 29:48 ever thought of myself as a creative and 29:51 that's one of the things that you know 29:53 that we've talked about is like how do 29:55 you kind of step into what you're 29:58 learning learning about yourself that 30:01 may have always may have been there 30:04 forever but you just didn't have a way 30:07 to uncover it you know that that strikes 30:09 me when I was doing um I was the chief 30:12 creative officer and the co-founder of a 30:14 an early digital agency in the in the 30:16 90s called agency.com 30:19 and at one point we started to have some 30:21 some cultural problems where the 30:24 creatives the you know the the ones that 30:26 were called you know creatives we're 30:29 like well we're creative and everyone 30:30 else is not creative and the fact of the 30:32 matter was that the account people were 30:34 creative and how they engaged with 30:35 clients and the project managers were 30:37 creative and how they did project 30:39 management and one of the things that 30:41 that we distinguished that made a big 30:43 difference was there's a very big 30:45 difference between the creative process 30:47 and the creative product so the creative 30:50 product is like I make pictures right so 30:52 maybe you're not good at pictures an 30:54 maybe you're not good at drawing right 30:55 maybe you're not even good at design but 30:57 you're really good at the Crea 30:58 process and what happens with AI now is 31:01 you now have tools that allow you to be 31:03 way more creative um 31:06 creative especially in terms of the 31:08 creative product but you've always been 31:11 creative right and so what this is doing 31:12 is kind of connecting those two worlds 31:15 and I I think that's incredibly powerful 31:17 the newsletter that that you just 31:18 mentioned I I just had an epiphany today 31:21 so one thing I've been pretty good at 31:23 over the past I don't know year or so is 31:25 I'll have an idea for an article and 31:27 I'll put the article out there and I go 31:28 oh I should make an image for the 31:29 article right which historically I would 31:31 never have done that it would have been 31:32 just words so if your newsletter's just 31:35 words maybe think about putting pictures 31:37 in it and then the thing that struck me 31:38 today I I applied for the uh the 31:41 creators program for some new video tool 31:44 and I thought wait why am I just putting 31:46 pictures in my LinkedIn articles I 31:48 should have move I should have video in 31:50 there we've got these amazing new video 31:52 tools right so so historically you would 31:56 never have necessarily thought about 31:57 original artwork for a newsletter well 31:59 now maybe you could start to think about 32:00 original video that goes with you know 32:03 your article why if nothing else people 32:05 will look at it right they people like 32:07 moving pictures so so 32:09 anyway so um first of all I have to tell 32:12 you I want to move into a little bit of 32:14 the existential which will include our 32:15 conversation about digital twins but 32:17 here's here's a jumping off point it'll 32:19 it'll give I wanted you to take a second 32:22 to talk a little bit about your 32:23 backstory and what you're up to right 32:25 now and Story vine and the salon and um 32:30 kind of where you're going with some of 32:31 your content but I'll I'll kick it off 32:33 by saying that we're so for folks who 32:36 are who are here we're also streaming to 32:40 Kyle's Tik Tok Channel which is probably 32:43 like G to soon be like 32:45 247 um and a I was watching the comments 32:49 as as one does and a minute ago somebody 32:51 said are you retired or is this the 32:56 job so Kyle oh that's 32:58 fascinating describe your job right now 33:02 what do you what would you say your job 33:05 is storyvine I'm the I'm the co-founder 33:09 and CEO of Story vine so I'm running 33:11 storyvine um I I tend not to do one of 33:14 the reasons I go live at Tik Tok at 33:16 night is because that's what I do when I 33:18 go home so um so if I'm doing a a 33:20 podcast or something like this that that 33:22 invades in the day so I've got that as 33:24 my day 33:25 job a big part of so story Vine is a an 33:29 automated video storytelling platform 33:31 we've been around for 12 and A2 years um 33:34 we do a lot of work in the healthcare 33:35 and Pharm space the platform the core 33:38 platform itself let's call it storyvine 33:40 1.0 didn't actually use a lot of AI it 33:43 used more traditional Computing assembly 33:46 XML and just more traditional kind of 33:49 stuff fully automated right we have an 33:51 app that somebody answers questions in 33:52 an app it goes up to the cloud five 33:54 minutes later you've got a fully edited 33:56 video so really powerful platform 34:00 but because so so a little part of my 34:03 background I've got a storytelling 34:05 background I've got a degree in acting I 34:07 moved to New York City out of school ran 34:09 a theater company wrote a bunch of 34:10 screenplays just you know pursu a life 34:12 in the Arts and then in the mid 90s when 34:15 the worldwide web when I when I stumbled 34:17 upon this thing called the worldwide web 34:19 it it struck me that this is a 34:21 completely new way to tell stories and 34:23 so I started an online magazine and I 34:25 started you know agency.com this early 34:27 agency 34:29 where we built a lot of the websites for 34:31 the Fortune 500 and what struck me was 34:33 this is you know sort of telling a brand 34:35 story in this interactive environment 34:38 it's still 34:39 storytelling um Story vine is that as 34:42 well right it's just a different way to 34:43 tell stories and then when AI came 34:47 out what hit me square between the eyes 34:49 especially you know for me November 30th 34:52 2022 is the Turning Point the seminal 34:56 moment um of of what call Modern AI um 34:59 the generative AI movement that date is 35:02 the date that chat GPT launched and chat 35:06 GPT from where I sit does for AI what 35:10 the worldwide web did for the internet 35:12 so let me unpack that a 35:14 bit the internet had been around for 35:17 decades and decades right all these 35:18 computers connected together and the the 35:20 only people that could really use them 35:22 were scientists and researchers and 35:24 things like that cuz it was a command 35:25 line computer interface and you had to 35:27 know IP addresses and it was just it was 35:30 very technical and the worldwide web 35:32 made it just simple as like clicking a 35:34 hyperlink to be able to jump between 35:36 these computers and that's the 35:37 foundation for all of you know sort of 35:39 modern Communications was that simple 35:41 Innovation chat GPT was the first thing 35:44 that took all this power of machine 35:45 learning and Ai and put it in this 35:47 simple box that where you just ask it 35:49 for something and it it answers it or 35:52 you know gives you the picture or 35:53 whatever it is um so that became the 35:55 beginning of it and and for me 35:59 having been at the beginning of the 36:00 worldwide web and looking at the 36:02 potential of AI this era that we're in 36:07 feels a thousand times 10,000 times 36:10 100,000 times more impactful longterm 36:14 than the worldwide web was and we know 36:15 how transformative that was so the 36:18 minute I had that Epiphany about AI like 36:21 being at the beginning of this new era 36:24 um I just went all in so I I essentially 36:26 spend all of my free time just looking 36:29 at Twitter looking at these things just 36:31 paying attention to it and one of the 36:33 reasons that I started the salon and one 36:35 of the reasons that I started the Tik 36:37 Tok channel was just to keep myself in 36:40 the conversation on a daily basis like 36:42 that to me is everything because it's 36:45 moving so fast that that if you're not 36:48 in the conversation it's literally 36:50 accelerating out away from us even if 36:52 you're in the conversation right um and 36:55 so so you know my typical day just kind 36:58 of looks like I wake up I start looking 37:00 at stuff on the internet uh I'll make a 37:02 Tik Tok video occasionally um I come and 37:05 do my work and then you know if news 37:08 pops up during the day I'll go look at 37:10 that and pay attention to it and then I 37:12 talk about that at night and the you 37:15 know one of the big surprises of the Tik 37:18 Tok channel is that the way I had it in 37:21 my head was you start a Tik Tok channel 37:23 it's a it's a media channel and you make 37:25 content and you have an audience that 37:27 watches that content content and what it 37:29 very very quickly became was this 37:32 collaborative jam session where people 37:34 come and hang out and like there's more 37:36 activity going on in the comments 37:38 between people than there is between me 37:40 and the audience right it's it's this 37:43 really just fluid 37:44 amazing just jam session and and for me 37:47 that's that's tremendously exciting 37:49 because what it means is people are in 37:51 there exploring this AI stuff 37:53 independent of what I'm doing and that's 37:54 that's the whole idea it's so true like 37:58 we are sometimes you're like the foil 38:02 character up there and we're riffing off 38:04 of sometimes what you're talking about 38:06 sometimes we're making fun of you yeah 38:08 exactly appropriately appropriately 38:11 making fun of me so easy 38:14 KY that's why I'm there it's but like 38:18 last night so I'm going to Paris 38:20 tomorrow and last night I was like oh my 38:23 gosh I know that I've heard which 38:27 application are the best to use for 38:29 translating in real time I was like of 38:31 course I can ask T TBT of course I can 38:34 figure this out but you know what it'll 38:36 take me eight seconds to just ask 38:38 somebody in your comments and within you 38:40 know about 10 seconds P had had written 38:43 back and said use this this is how you 38:45 do it I'm like okay boom it's such a 38:47 wealth of information and so one of the 38:50 things that um KY and I have both 38:53 learned and seen in action and watched 38:56 other people like grow and Blossom is 38:59 that when you create a container for 39:03 this kind of relationship building it 39:05 gives people something to hold on to 39:07 gives them a little foothold a reason to 39:10 talk about AI or a forum for talking 39:13 about AI today after you've worn out 39:15 your spouses your kids your parents your 39:19 dogs leave us alone we don't want to 39:21 hear about your stupid Ai 39:26 and I can't handle it anymore then you 39:30 have your new friends your AI friends 39:33 your weirdos yeah exactly weirdos well 39:35 and and so the here's the other thing 39:37 that there's a couple of reasons why 39:39 Community I think become way more 39:42 important one is it you you have a place 39:44 to connect with other people but the 39:46 other one is kind of what you did with 39:47 Pate 39:49 there AI just gener just let's just call 39:52 it generative AI even if you're just 39:54 talking about large language models the 39:56 word things right yeah that part of the 39:59 industry is already bigger than any 40:02 single person's ability to master it and 40:04 so it ends up happening when you're in a 40:06 community is you'll have some little 40:09 piece of the puzzle and what I 40:10 experience regularly is that people 40:13 consistently apologize for how little 40:16 they know and then they share this 40:19 little thing that they know that to them 40:21 is obvious because that's what they it's 40:23 who they are right they they their world 40:25 viiew is they understand whatever it is 40:27 like with with you fundraising right and 40:29 you share this little thing about 40:31 fundraising that to the other people in 40:33 the room are like oh my God I never 40:35 would have thought about it like that 40:36 like all of the individuals people's 40:39 points of view I I find them you know I 40:43 I I work hard to get people to not 40:45 apologize for what they don't know 40:48 because it's what they do know that is 40:49 the thing that's going to break things 40:51 open for someone else so that part of it 40:54 really really important yeah you know I 40:58 have seen a a transformation among all 41:02 of us that we have done such a we've 41:05 like really moved out of that space of 41:07 apologizing as much as we used to yeah 41:10 we had somebody in our group today 41:12 apologizing for something and we just uh 41:14 had this conversation about impostor 41:16 syndrome yeah exactly we just hit them a 41:18 whole bunch but you know that this is 41:23 this is a time when uh you know like 41:26 showing up and feeling uncomfortable is 41:29 is the is the work it's the work that 41:32 that's a great way to put it that that 41:34 just being in that uncomfortable place 41:37 and doing it anyway is the work right 41:39 that's the definition of of Bravery 41:41 right or of Courage you know taking 41:43 action in the face of fear that yeah you 41:45 don't know everything and yeah 41:48 historically you had to have a PhD in 41:50 mathematics to be good at Ai and your 41:52 fear might be well I was never good at 41:53 math what you're going to discover is 41:56 you don't need to be but you do have to 41:58 go through that Gauntlet of of knowing 42:02 that you can't do it only to discover 42:04 that not only can you do it you might be 42:07 really really good at it you might even 42:09 be really really really good at 42:10 something you thought you would never in 42:12 your life be good at and that's the 42:14 inspiring thing for me it's so inspiring 42:17 and it it's so addictive that I'm now 42:20 looking for things that I don't know how 42:21 to do to do yeah so and that's that 42:25 that's that playful thing right just so 42:27 fun so I'm applying I'm I'm submitting a 42:30 a proposal for this gig that it's not 42:35 like Way Beyond my zone of Genius but 42:38 it's beyond my zone of Genius right but 42:41 I also know I can figure this out like I 42:45 have enough intuition enough experience 42:47 using AI tools now that I trust myself I 42:50 trust my judgment y that I will be able 42:53 to leverage the tools at my disposal 42:58 to do something that I don't have a 43:00 track record that's proven that I can do 43:03 the thing anymore that's what's so 43:04 exciting about all of us you were 43:05 talking about I wanted to shift into a 43:07 little bit of the existential space that 43:09 you've been talking about like the 43:10 future of work that's what's so exciting 43:13 to me is we are now at the mode where it 43:17 is imperative that organizational 43:20 leaders understand but you are not 43:23 hiring for somebody's track record 43:25 anymore or their skill or their skills 43:27 skills or their skills and that's and 43:30 that's going to seem really 43:31 counterintuitive if you're if you're on 43:33 the outside of this AI conversation 43:35 because we're not there yet but like 43:37 where this is trending where this is 43:38 heading is that the AI tools are getting 43:41 more and more capable and they're going 43:42 to increasingly do the Tactical part of 43:45 your job and so the thing you went to 43:47 college for the thing that you might 43:48 have been doing for the last 10 or 15 or 43:51 30 years it's going to do it doesn't 43:54 mean you don't have value it's just that 43:56 that particular piece of it 43:58 now becomes less and less and less 44:01 required right so yes so talk a little 44:05 bit about where your head is at because 44:08 a bunch of us there's been a group of us 44:10 who I think have been going through a 44:12 similar kind of Reckoning or rethinking 44:16 of our path forward if you will and 44:19 what's happening around us and what we 44:21 want to focus on and it's been 44:23 remarkable to me how many of us have 44:25 been in pretty pretty similar mileston 44:27 along the way and one of the things that 44:30 has come up and that you've been talking 44:32 about is that you know where where 44:35 you're thinking is beyond the tools that 44:38 you've done a lot to help us figure out 44:42 the tools but like the the conversation 44:45 is actually bigger bigger than that now 44:48 so can you talk a little a little bit 44:49 about that yeah so again I'll I'll I'll 44:52 sort of use my experience in the the 44:54 early days of the web as as reference 44:56 because I I actually 44:58 I'm realizing now it's it's actually an 44:59 important reference point the early days 45:02 of the worldwide 45:05 web the technology of of HTTP and HTML 45:10 was actually quite simple and there was 45:14 a lot of work that was required to make 45:16 it ubiquitous and it evolved in things 45:18 like that but it didn't necessarily 45:20 change all that much so you know for 45:24 five or six years it was really all 45:26 about the tools it was like if you learn 45:27 the tools and you just you know keep up 45:29 with how things are evolving you can do 45:32 it I mean that was one of the remarkable 45:33 things about that is it democratized 45:36 this incredibly powerful thing when 45:39 generative AI first started and there 45:40 was chat GPT and then there was stable 45:42 diffusion and mid Journey for images and 45:45 I don't there were a couple of Music 45:47 things but udio and sunno weren't really 45:49 out yet and weren't really known it was 45:50 it was a really small set of tools that 45:53 you needed to know and then as time went 45:55 on there became more and more and more 45:57 and 45:58 more 45:59 and one of the things that's happened in 46:02 the past 6 months you know maybe this 46:04 past month you know Let It Go but the 6 46:06 months prior to that was open aai kind 46:09 of stagnated they they said they were 46:11 going to launch a bunch of stuff and 46:13 didn't and what happened was in that 46:15 time a lot of other tools caught up with 46:18 it and so so all of a sudden kind of 46:20 over the course of the summer all these 46:22 tools became remarkably capable and they 46:25 they did all sorts of different things 46:27 like Claude you can ask it to write a 46:29 computer application and it'll write it 46:31 and you can just start playing a game 46:32 that you just created by asking for it 46:34 and then perplexity does this cool 46:37 research stuff and you know open AI has 46:39 all these different modes that you can 46:40 play like all of the tools just got 46:42 really sophisticated and and there 46:45 became so many of them that it 46:48 essentially became impossible to keep up 46:51 with it right and so part of it was just 46:53 overwhelm of like even if like I you 46:55 know it was my self declared job I 46:57 created this thing called the AI 46:59 learning lab where I'm going to teach 47:00 people how to use these 47:02 tools and what's what's struck me and 47:04 what I've I've been in a bit of mourning 47:07 for I think is the Simplicity of 47:11 that that if if it were just about the 47:14 tools that would be awesome but it's 47:16 it's not and and so there's a couple of 47:18 things that have happened in the past 47:19 month or so the release of of advanced 47:23 voice from chat GPT where when you talk 47:25 with it you're you're talking with an 47:28 entity whatever it's doing technically I 47:30 don't care there's all there's always 47:31 these semantic arguments well it's not 47:33 really emotional it's not really this it 47:35 doesn't the the the impact of talking to 47:38 it is not like anything we've ever 47:40 experienced before the the 01 reasoning 47:43 model that that open AI just released is 47:47 this incredibly capable thing that looks 47:50 kind of like what chat GPT looked like 47:52 before but it's essentially like having 47:54 a PhD at your fingertips that can do PhD 47:57 level problem solving at your request I 48:01 don't know how to ask for I wouldn't 48:03 know what to ask a PhD you know to say 48:06 like what am I supposed to solve here 48:08 like I just I feel like all of a sudden 48:11 the the the these tools sort of elevated 48:13 above where my cognitive boundaries were 48:18 and what they can do is significantly 48:22 beyond what I understand I should use 48:25 computers for yes yes and so then that 48:28 puts me in a place of that well first of 48:31 all they're only going to get better so 48:33 if they're already above that place like 48:35 what's it going to be like when we do 48:36 hit AGI artificial general intelligence 48:39 or ASI artificial super intelligence 48:42 where these machines are smarter than 48:44 you know the smartest human on the 48:46 planet and we've all got you know a 48:48 100,000 you know genius level agents 48:51 working on our behalf what does that 48:53 world look like I don't have a clue 48:55 right and so so now I'm just in this 48:58 place of like I think we need to start 49:01 asking questions more like why than how 49:05 it's not how do you do this it's like 49:07 wait well what am I trying to do why 49:09 would I do this like you 49:11 know I I don't know like what makes me 49:14 happy like it it you go into these into 49:16 just much more high level existential 49:19 conversations and this is one of the 49:22 things that is has been an instinct of 49:24 mine for a while and this this feels 49:26 like it's amplifying is I feel like 49:28 these tools are going to force us as 49:31 humans to answer the question what what 49:35 value do we really serve because 49:37 historically our value was tied to the 49:39 stuff we did right the work product we 49:42 did the skills we had and now it's going 49:45 to come to you know do I make an happy 49:48 do I connect with her did I make a 49:50 difference in her life do I right you 49:52 know are are we connecting as humans 49:54 like I think it counterintuitive 49:57 the robot robots are going to push us to 50:00 be better people but that transition is 50:03 going to be weird and painful and 50:05 surreal and so so that's what I'm kind 50:07 of in the middle of is just this S I 50:10 don't know like this primordial soup of 50:13 I don't quite know what work looks like 50:15 and and you you know it still looks like 50:17 what it looks like 50:19 today but not for 50:21 long uh if you are a a coach a therapist 50:26 a Psy 50:27 colist but you're about like they are 50:31 going to be busier than the patent and 50:32 copyright attorneys absolutely we are 50:36 all flailing about in these communities 50:39 having like existential meltdowns not 50:43 like we can't this is unfathomably 50:45 confrontational to our identity what we 50:49 think like how we're oriented what we do 50:51 when we wake up in the morning and we're 50:53 just trying to help each other out we 50:54 don't know what we're doing we need some 50:57 to help us like have a framework for how 51:00 to apply this stuff because I I 51:03 absolutely agree with you that it's so 51:04 much more 51:06 about 51:07 um it's not well certainly not about the 51:11 volume that you're putting out like it's 51:14 not about o I did this thing and I did a 51:16 ton of it and that means I am valuable 51:20 and it's not going to be what this 51:22 weirdness that we've had in our society 51:24 for literally since slavery of my value 51:29 is measured by Time by by the hours I 51:32 put in how many hours I put in and like 51:36 that that that little thing right there 51:38 of and I've I've I've heard people say I 51:40 I've got I've gotten an arguments over 51:41 this where they're like but that only 51:43 took 10 seconds well okay does that mean 51:47 it's less valuable right and it's you 51:48 know there's this famous um it was 51:50 Picasso I think was it Picasso or Veno I 51:53 think it was Picasso someone said make a 51:55 sketch for me and he made a sketch and 51:56 he said that'll be a million Franks and 51:58 she said well it only took you a minute 51:59 he goes it took me 40 years you know to 52:02 to be able to do that in 10 seconds um 52:05 yeah like like 52:07 t a lot of historically us putting in 52:11 the two hours to write the email was 52:14 where we measured our personal value and 52:16 where other people measured the value 52:17 and so now if that's just done instantly 52:19 the instinct is to go oh it's valueless 52:22 but it's not because it's still us 52:25 curating it it's still us choosing what 52:27 is the stuff we want to present to the 52:29 world like I think we're all still just 52:31 as responsible for what we put in the 52:33 world how we generate that is in my 52:36 opinion no one's business no one's 52:38 business anymore like I don't you don't 52:41 ask me if I use Microsoft Word or if I 52:43 touch that up in Photoshop like right 52:46 it's just like like is it good or not 52:49 and if it's not then just tell me the 52:50 work's not good if it's good then it's 52:52 none of your business how I made it so 52:54 that's that's part of my philosophy of 52:56 did you use AI who cares who 52:59 cares yeah definitely like decoupling 53:03 value and time is going to be I think 53:06 one of the biggest pain points that we 53:08 have because people are so used to 53:11 feeling worthy based on putting time 53:15 into something and we're we don't know 53:17 by the way what might be the worst thing 53:21 that happens initially is if we all do 53:23 seize the time that is newly available 53:27 if we if we're just trying to do 53:28 something faster right and we have let's 53:31 just say you have one new hour a week 53:35 you are faced with what seems like a not 53:38 very big decision but is actually a huge 53:41 decision what are you going to do with 53:43 that one hour what you do with the hour 53:45 soon you're going to have 40 hours right 53:48 or 35 hours so well this is I'm WR I'm 53:51 writing a musical on the weekends like I 53:54 have a degree in theater I've never 53:55 written a musical I'm not good enough 53:57 with music to write it but it it's good 54:01 like it's good it's really good and it's 54:03 just like this weekend project right and 54:05 it's like and it's I'm not taking you 54:07 know eight hours a day on the weekends 54:09 it's like I do an hour here an hour 54:10 there and and I'm cranking this out and 54:13 that that idea of so so one of the other 54:16 things when you were talking about we're 54:17 all in these existential dreads I don't 54:19 want to make it sound like it's always 54:21 existential dread negative it's what I'm 54:23 finding is that there's these really big 54:25 oscillations of these emot oscillations 54:27 of oh my God it's amazing oh my God what 54:29 do I do with my life oh my God it's 54:31 amazing I I I I for the past month and a 54:35 half I've been in one of the troughs 54:36 right I've just been in like what is 54:37 this what's it mean all that sort of 54:38 stuff and I saw this LinkedIn post from 54:41 Ali K Miller who talks about um you know 54:44 AI stuff and the opening line of her 54:47 LinkedIn post was um holy crap I wrote a 54:52 whole uh course this weekend or 54:55 something like that and and just her 54:58 starting it with that that term holy 55:00 crap was I realized that if you just 55:03 play with AI and and play with it in 55:06 your spare time play with it at work 55:08 play with it just 55:10 mindlessly yes what you stumble upon are 55:14 these holy crap moments that actually 55:16 run you in completely different 55:17 directions like writing a musical or it 55:20 might be something at work that you know 55:22 rather than the two hours of automating 55:23 that email process I just mess around 55:26 for two hours but but I discover 55:28 something completely new and have a holy 55:30 crap moment that's going to be a 55:31 breakthrough for my business or a 55:32 breakthrough for me profession 55:34 professionally and so I wrote a I wrote 55:36 a piece called the uh Ai and the holy 55:38 crapp ification of work which is sort of 55:41 the positive you know other side of this 55:43 if you get curious with these tools and 55:46 really dive in with them um they are 55:49 increasingly going to surprise you in 55:51 positive and really powerful ways that 55:54 may be transformative for your business 55:56 you know your professional life or your 55:58 personal life or all three all three all 56:02 the same yes and I should say that that 56:04 the 56:05 existential space that a lot of us are 56:07 in is is in part be pretty joyous and 56:12 kind of like surprising right you're 56:16 like constantly surprised it's the 56:18 constant Kevin mallister moment that we 56:20 talk about yep um okay so to give the 56:24 people what we promised can we talk 56:26 about dig twins yes uh teach me first 56:30 Dena is saying what word processor are 56:32 you using exactly yeah musical Kyle what 56:36 what yeah exactly what brand of notepad 56:39 are you taking your notes on right now 56:40 an it's that's really important for us 56:42 to know so annoying um all right so talk 56:46 to us about digital twins can you start 56:48 with like what are we talking hell is a 56:51 digital twin yes so historically the the 56:55 term digital Quin twin um really emerged 56:59 out of the simulation world and a 57:00 digital twin might be you have a digital 57:02 twin of a physical object or or you know 57:05 a a system um my friend Richard Boyd has 57:09 been doing uh simulation work and 3D 57:11 work for years and years and years and 57:13 one of the digital twins he made for the 57:15 defense department was a digital twin of 57:17 a nuclear submarine so it was a fully 57:20 functional nuclear submarine that people 57:23 you know Sailors could go into with you 57:25 know goggles or computer Compu screens 57:27 and like all of the dials worked all of 57:29 the things did the things and they could 57:31 basically go in and run a submarine 57:34 virtually right so the so the the 57:35 history of it is 57:38 that the the the digital twins that I've 57:40 been working on we kind of stumbled upon 57:43 so I'm the chief generative officer for 57:45 this marketing organization called um 57:48 content Evolution and content evolution 57:51 is is it's basically just a a Federation 57:54 of marketing organizations PR firms 57:56 things like that um founded by Kevin 57:59 Clark who used to run IBM's Global brand 58:01 and he basically just said he wanted to 58:03 retain the relationships of the people 58:05 that he liked working with and right so 58:06 it's this it's this very collegial group 58:10 and one of the challenges of it is you 58:13 know if if a business comes to Kevin or 58:15 to anyone in the organization and says 58:17 hey who should I work with within 58:19 content Evolution to do this who should 58:22 I talk to so so this exercise started 58:24 out as just basically we wanted to 58:26 create a directory like how do I know 58:28 who to talk to and and then what we what 58:30 what we thought about is you know maybe 58:32 we'll we'll make descriptions of the 58:34 companies and we can just make a like a 58:36 GPT that makes it easy to find them and 58:39 then we thought well it's not really the 58:41 companies that are interesting it's the 58:42 people that are interesting and so our 58:44 initial thing was well what if we 58:46 scraped LinkedIn and we got their 58:47 LinkedIn profiles and and then we could 58:50 you know search you you know use chat 58:52 GPT to search for who I should talk to 58:55 and what struck us was 58:57 LinkedIn is this 58:59 really limited view of sort of the 59:02 historical artifacts of a person right 59:05 like their work history and even that it 59:07 might not be complete depending on how 59:08 much they do right and and and you know 59:12 maybe in that is you know a link to a 59:14 book that they've written but they wrote 59:15 that book 30 years ago and so that might 59:18 not reflect who they are today so so we 59:20 stumbled upon in trying to figure out 59:23 how to how to use LinkedIn we stumbled 59:25 upon this problem of 59:27 well who are they today because who are 59:30 who they are today is really interesting 59:32 and so what's nice about content 59:33 evolution is you got a bunch of smart 59:35 people in there that are really good at 59:37 things like you know writing structured 59:39 questions and and surveys and things 59:42 like that and so Cindy [ __ ] was a part 59:44 of it and we've got this group called 59:45 collab which is our little AI you know 59:48 uh Skunk Works within content Evolution 59:51 and so we Des we decided to design a 59:55 structured inter interview that is 59:57 designed to capture who a person is 59:59 today and so it's things like you know 1:00:02 what's your educational background 1:00:03 what's your work background all that 1:00:04 sort of stuff right like the the sort of 1:00:06 dog tags but then it's things like you 1:00:08 know what was a piece of art that 1:00:10 inspired you you know inspired you in 1:00:12 your life you know talk about a failure 1:00:13 you've had so we've got you know 1:00:15 sections about how do you solve problems 1:00:18 and we've got sections about you know uh 1:00:20 you know how do you what's your 1:00:21 worldview and things like 1:00:23 that and so and so we worked with Chad 1:00:26 GPT to come up with the basic framework 1:00:28 and reorganize it and then we manually 1:00:30 went in there and tweaked it and what 1:00:32 we've since learned is that that 1:00:34 structured interview is really important 1:00:36 but the specific one that we made for 1:00:38 Content evolution is essentially 1:00:40 irrelevant like any sort of structured 1:00:43 set of interview like just think 20 1:00:45 questions and think about it for a use 1:00:47 case because I could write a set of 20 1:00:49 questions to really get to who you are 1:00:52 emotionally and versus who you are as a 1:00:54 problem solver yeah 1:00:56 and and and so we've learned a couple of 1:01:00 things that that that structured 1:01:01 interview is really 1:01:03 important that answering it by writing 1:01:06 answers doesn't work the gpts are not 1:01:10 good when you do it by writing answers 1:01:13 because how you write words is not how 1:01:15 you say words and very often if you read 1:01:17 transcripts of what someone says you're 1:01:19 like this isn't even English like does 1:01:22 this person ever complete a sentence 1:01:24 right they're two very different worlds 1:01:26 but who but how you talk really does 1:01:29 represent who you are so what what we 1:01:31 did is we made an executive decision 1:01:33 that anyone we're going to make one of 1:01:35 these digital twins for we have to do a 1:01:37 video interview where they're going 1:01:39 through and answering these questions so 1:01:41 we have someone being the interviewer 1:01:42 someone being the interviewee we then 1:01:44 take the transcript of of that and that 1:01:48 becomes the foundation for a GPT so 1:01:50 that's so the digital twin right now is 1:01:53 just a GPT with this interview of who 1:01:55 the person is 1:01:57 then we came upon the problem of because 1:02:01 again where where we started was we need 1:02:03 a directory like how do we find people 1:02:05 right and we said well we've got these 1:02:07 gpts where someone could have a virtual 1:02:09 conversation with virtual Kyle and 1:02:11 that's kind of cool and we we sort of 1:02:13 put them out like you can have a 1:02:14 conversation with virtual Kyle right now 1:02:16 and nobody really cared right because 1:02:18 it's like no one knows what that means 1:02:21 what does it mean to have a conversation 1:02:22 with virtual Kyle so we kind of flipped 1:02:25 it upside down and said well maybe 1:02:27 instead of asking other people to figure 1:02:29 out how we would use our digital twins 1:02:31 maybe we should figure out how we use 1:02:32 our digital Twins and so where we've 1:02:35 kind of gotten to recently is that um 1:02:39 all of the people within collab have 1:02:40 basically committed to use their digital 1:02:42 twins to do things like brainstorming 1:02:44 like rather than brainstorming with you 1:02:47 I'm going to brainstorm with the virtual 1:02:48 version of me but I can also brainstorm 1:02:51 with the other people within content 1:02:53 Evolution and I've got access to them 1:02:55 24/7 so so we took all these individual 1:02:57 gpts and we put them into a master GPT 1:03:00 so we've now got this little digital 1:03:03 community that represents the worldviews 1:03:06 of all the people within content 1:03:08 Evolution and we're using that GPT to 1:03:12 write articles on behalf of content 1:03:14 Evolution and even quote the people that 1:03:16 are most appropriate to talk on that 1:03:18 subject it it's wild and and and so 1:03:22 every time we do that um you know Kevin 1:03:24 will reach out to the individuals that 1:03:25 are quoted and say you know is this what 1:03:27 you would say for the most part like 1:03:29 I've had one thing where it said the 1:03:31 opposite of what I said but for the most 1:03:33 part it's like yeah that's exactly what 1:03:34 I would say wow and so that idea of so 1:03:39 so there's a couple of things here one 1:03:40 is you can make you know a digital twin 1:03:43 of yourself but you could also make 1:03:45 multiple digital twins of yourself one 1:03:47 could be the professional version of you 1:03:49 one could be the social butterfly one 1:03:51 could be the jokester that that just 1:03:53 does jokes one could not even look like 1:03:55 you and not have your but you want to 1:03:57 control it yes and then thinking of so 1:04:00 if you think about the way llms work 1:04:04 large language 1:04:07 models the reason they feel human is 1:04:10 that we are essentially tapping into the 1:04:12 collective intelligence of all of the 1:04:15 people that have contributed anything to 1:04:17 the internet over the past 70 80 years 1:04:20 right and and longer than that right 1:04:22 because of historical documents that 1:04:23 that got put on there so you're 1:04:25 literally tapping into all of the people 1:04:27 that came before so the digital twins 1:04:29 are actually just a really specific 1:04:32 representation of a person who exists in 1:04:35 the world or we've also done these for 1:04:38 people who have died you can also do the 1:04:39 same thing for people that have died and 1:04:41 put all their Works in there right um 1:04:44 and then we're just sort of creating a 1:04:45 little sandbox where you can now have 1:04:48 interactions with them and you can group 1:04:49 them together and it's it's absolutely 1:04:52 remarkable um it's it's uncanny how 1:04:55 close they are to 1:04:57 how people answer questions and solve 1:04:59 problems and as we move into things like 1:05:00 you know real time synthesis of faces 1:05:03 and voices and things like that we're 1:05:05 going to be able to FaceTime with 1:05:06 virtual versions of ourselves and and I 1:05:09 think this skill of thinking about how 1:05:13 do I I Kyle want to be represented in 1:05:16 the world feels to me like an important 1:05:19 skill to learn right now because we're 1:05:21 going to be represented in the world 1:05:23 whether we want to be or not and if you 1:05:26 got some Acuity for how to do that with 1:05:30 today's janky tools you're going to be 1:05:32 in much better shape when these things 1:05:33 get more 1:05:36 sophisticated there are so many use 1:05:38 cases like bouncing around in my brain 1:05:41 it's crazy right it's crazy one of the 1:05:46 one of the ideas that I have that I like 1:05:50 so so far the best of the ones that have 1:05:51 been flying around would be the ability 1:05:56 for people to create their own board of 1:05:58 directors to help them make decisions 1:06:02 yes well in fact we've talked about that 1:06:04 we're we're in content Evolution one of 1:06:05 the things we're talking about is 1:06:07 putting together um board of directors 1:06:10 and executive committee um GPT sets so 1:06:15 think about a board of directors you got 1:06:16 all these important people on this board 1:06:18 of directors you get to meet with them 1:06:19 quarterly for an hour or two you have 1:06:21 drinks with them and right and you can 1:06:23 solve the big problem what if you had 1:06:24 24/7 access to some version of them yeah 1:06:28 right and same with your executive teams 1:06:30 that 24/7 you could just say hey you 1:06:32 know hey team what please all give me 1:06:35 your opinion like I'm about to make this 1:06:37 decision and I want you to weigh in 1:06:40 right and do it from your point of view 1:06:42 if you've got a well- constructed 1:06:43 digital twin of those people you're 1:06:45 going to get all sorts of diverse points 1:06:47 of view 24/7 247 amazing all the all of 1:06:53 the like you know 1:06:56 all the folks who wish they had a mentor 1:07:01 or wish they had a sponsor right who 1:07:03 doesn't they don't have connections to 1:07:06 you know the people where they can just 1:07:07 sit around with them and and chop it up 1:07:10 without fear of saying something dumb 1:07:12 right yeah right like now you get to 1:07:16 have that and it's whenever you want on 1:07:20 whatever topic you want and you're going 1:07:22 to get that feedback in a totally say 1:07:26 safe environment and 1:07:27 like access this wisdom that you have no 1:07:31 business having right like it's it's not 1:07:33 on you that you don't have that wisdom 1:07:35 yet or you haven't had that life 1:07:36 experience yet and you get to you get to 1:07:39 make the most of all of that yeah the 1:07:42 commercial applications like I know we 1:07:45 talked about you know if you're an 1:07:47 author right now and you're publishing a 1:07:49 book man have a digital twin that goes 1:07:51 along with it so people can either 1:07:54 interact with the characters in the book 1:07:56 because you've made digital twin for the 1:07:57 characters which that would be so dope y 1:08:00 or interact with the author well the the 1:08:02 yeah I've got one right now for AI 1:08:05 Futures the the Anthology Book where 1:08:07 we've got in a in a GPT we've got the 1:08:09 book itself and then we've got these 1:08:11 interviews with each of the authors so 1:08:13 you can go into that GPT right now and 1:08:15 just talk about the concepts of the book 1:08:18 but just ask the authors hey Cindy [ __ ] 1:08:20 what would you think about this it also 1:08:22 it it radically 1:08:24 shifts you know right now we talk about 1:08:26 if you want to be good at AI treat it 1:08:28 like a conversation and you know it's 1:08:30 not just like a prompt and get it back 1:08:31 if you know you're interacting with you 1:08:33 know the the virtual Irregulars right 1:08:36 from the Tik Tok Channel you're going to 1:08:38 interact with that in a very different 1:08:39 way than if you're just interacting with 1:08:41 chat GPT which is kind of this amorphous 1:08:44 you know because it's everything it's 1:08:45 nothing kind of kind of thing and so so 1:08:48 when you kind of limit the scope to 1:08:51 these digital twins it it really does 1:08:53 put you in this place of well how do I 1:08:55 want to interact with them and what 1:08:57 questions would I ask a virtual board of 1:08:59 directors oh like yeah I might I might 1:09:02 make decisions in a very different way 1:09:04 if I knew I had that as a resource 1:09:07 absolutely and everybody here on this 1:09:09 call you should know Gwen she's amazing 1:09:11 and she's absolutely the kind of friend 1:09:13 who will say who will remind you that 1:09:15 you need to summarize for people and 1:09:18 tell them and tell tell them like give 1:09:23 them some some some takeaways so yeah 1:09:25 yes it's I think that it would be 1:09:28 something like come up with a list of 1:09:30 questions yeah well I I would say first 1:09:33 off figure out who's your who like who's 1:09:35 the audience like what's or what's the 1:09:37 purpose of the digital twin is it 1:09:39 professional is it personal um like 1:09:42 what's your intent with it so so I would 1:09:45 say Don't just don't just limit yourself 1:09:47 to having one digital twin maybe do like 1:09:50 this might be a good exercise maybe one 1:09:52 is the professional one and one is the 1:09:53 fun one and so what would be would those 1:09:56 interviews be like for you know 1:09:58 professional Kyle versus fun Kyle so 1:10:01 that's the start and then yeah work with 1:10:03 chat GPT or Claude or your llm of choice 1:10:06 and say I want to come up with a 1:10:07 structured interview of 20 to 25 1:10:09 questions or whatever you're comfortable 1:10:11 with you know 20 to 25 questions is 1:10:13 probably half an hour like a half an 1:10:15 hour interview if you're if you're like 1:10:16 really answering the 1:10:18 questions um so that's step one get 1:10:20 those questions and then edit them like 1:10:22 actually read them and see if there's 1:10:23 anything you feel is missing and you 1:10:25 know organize 1:10:27 them um so that it makes sense for the 1:10:29 person answering them and um the other 1:10:31 thing you should put in there is basic 1:10:33 you know biographical information name 1:10:35 job you know educational background 1:10:37 things like that so that your twin knows 1:10:39 your your 1:10:41 history um and then really important is 1:10:44 record that interview on video and 1:10:47 ideally have some third 1:10:51 party be there as your back channel so 1:10:54 when you answer a question 1:10:56 someone that knows you or someone that 1:10:58 makes you push deeper hey that was kind 1:10:59 of a stingy answer dig deeper on that 1:11:01 like maybe you have a a side chat where 1:11:03 you've got someone just you know really 1:11:06 watching you and you're talking to them 1:11:08 because you'll talk in a very different 1:11:10 way than if you just do it 1:11:13 yourself yeah then you take that 1:11:16 transcript of that thing you don't need 1:11:19 to clean it up this is one of the things 1:11:21 that was you know we talked before about 1:11:23 people that expect it to behave in a c 1:11:25 way get really frustrated some people 1:11:27 are like well it doesn't you know say 1:11:29 this accurately or that accurately or I 1:11:30 need to go in and I need to edit my no 1:11:32 you don't because it's just going to 1:11:34 hallucinate anyway and all it needs to 1:11:37 capture is your essence so so that 1:11:38 becomes the core data element of a GPT 1:11:42 you can also put other things in there 1:11:44 like things that you've written or books 1:11:46 or links to your company things like 1:11:48 that you can do that we chose to keep 1:11:51 these things simple and keep it just 1:11:53 that interview because we wanted to see 1:11:55 how they performed when we did this 1:11:56 across a number of people yes yes and 1:11:59 then that's basically it you I mean you 1:12:02 need to write the you need to write your 1:12:03 system prompt in such a way that it that 1:12:05 it kind of responds like you would 1:12:07 respond and you need to give it some 1:12:09 rules like that but that's basically it 1:12:11 and then it's all about how do I use it 1:12:13 where do I use it why would I use it 1:12:15 yeah absolutely and um I'm so happy that 1:12:19 you pointed out the part about the video 1:12:21 because what I I tried to I was doing 1:12:24 this while I was on a road trip I was 1:12:25 was asking my well I was like in my head 1:12:28 asking a question and then just like 1:12:29 answering it or telling life stories and 1:12:32 I got so bored listening to myself to 1:12:36 talk in the 1:12:37 car nobody will ever want to like engage 1:12:42 with this because I'm even bored with it 1:12:43 but having somebody there it's you you 1:12:45 talk differently about your life and 1:12:48 whatnot with with with advanced voice I 1:12:50 would argue that you could probably do 1:12:52 this with advanced voice and have it 1:12:54 dynamically write the questions set 1:12:56 while you're having the conversation cuz 1:12:58 it'll record all that just do that in 1:12:59 the car that might be an interesting 1:13:02 experiment I I think that that would be 1:13:04 really fun and this was also before 1:13:06 advanced voice so it was tedious become 1:13:10 so we've become such spoiled breath I 1:13:12 know I know even I have to type 1:13:14 something I 1:13:17 know okay so quen hopefully we will um 1:13:22 hopefully those are tactical enough that 1:13:25 it allows people to charge ahead and I 1:13:28 think it's like so many other things 1:13:30 just play 1:13:32 this like like yes I could give you the 1:13:35 prompt yes I could give you the question 1:13:37 sets 1:13:38 but they're not going to like content 1:13:40 evolution is a very particular kind of 1:13:42 business how we write those questions is 1:13:44 very particular and how we did it for 1:13:46 the book project was completely 1:13:47 different so it's really more learn the 1:13:50 concept and then just go play with it 1:13:53 yes and also you know some someone said 1:13:55 I'm not comfortable putting myself out 1:13:57 there then okay put out someone that's 1:13:59 called you know Looney Kyle that's like 1:14:02 Looney Bob and and it's you maybe answer 1:14:05 some questions truthfully but you you 1:14:07 make sure that you know it's not you 1:14:08 it's just Looney Bob and Looney Bob's 1:14:10 going to have his own Persona and things 1:14:12 like that right so so don't feel like 1:14:14 the digital twin has to be this big 1:14:17 vulnerable place you go um you can make 1:14:20 it about you but you can also just 1:14:22 experiment with creating these entities 1:14:24 that you're going to interact with make 1:14:26 a character that you can then find out 1:14:29 what the heck they would do in your 1:14:30 story yep um make a character that you 1:14:35 can then find out what the heck they 1:14:37 would do in your story yep 1:14:44 um episode 2024 we will not you know 1:14:51 Paul rer says by the end of 2026 we're 1:14:54 all going to be talking to to our 1:14:55 computers I mean everyone in every 1:14:57 office everywhere so yeah or thinking or 1:15:00 thinking to them yes ex yeah or thinking 1:15:03 to them unless you're in a web and I'm 1:15:06 exactly 1:15:07 F so everybody I hope you found this as 1:15:11 fascinating as I did I could talk to 1:15:12 Kyle Shannon for hours and hours on end 1:15:15 it's fun to have a chance to actually 1:15:17 chat back to you because you're up on 1:15:20 the screen and we're we're all like we 1:15:22 have these um what is it called the 1:15:25 psychosocial or uh the relationship that 1:15:28 people have with people on screen oh 1:15:30 yeah yeah yeah IAL parasocial yeah yes 1:15:34 but but nobody out there feel that way 1:15:37 because Kyle is a real everyday downto 1:15:40 Earth normal human being and you should 1:15:44 connect with him follow his content join 1:15:47 the AI salon and if you're looking for 1:15:50 people to you know rap with about AI you 1:15:54 can always hit up you can always hit me 1:15:56 up we are so here for it we're here for 1:15:59 you and every every bit of your journey 1:16:02 along the way and we're learning like 1:16:04 we're still The Beginner's mindset as 1:16:06 well um Kyle thank you so much for 1:16:10 coming on the show and thanut honestly 1:16:12 just for being you because having just 1:16:15 be you being you is H such a huge gift 1:16:18 and so many of us have have learned from 1:16:22 you and have been able to go on and make 1:16:24 a difference for other people people so 1:16:25 you're creating quite the quite the 1:16:28 family tree of AI nerds I appreciate 1:16:31 that you're you're you're one of I I am 1:16:33 a fan of yours you're one of my 1:16:35 favorites you've been there pretty much 1:16:36 from the beginning of my journey so so 1:16:38 I'm happy to do this anytime yeah I hope 1:16:40 this was valuable and useful and 1:16:42 interesting thanks everybody see you 1:16:49 [Music] 1:16:53 later okay thank you Kyle you're 1:16:56 welcome that was really fun hang thank 1:16:58 you for demystifying uh digital twins 1:17:01 for me too I did think that there was 1:17:03 some magic to the questions that you 1:17:04 were asking I mean the there is like 1:17:07 like we wrote good question like if you 1:17:09 write shitty 1:17:10 questions but but basically you just 1:17:12 think about it like if I want if like 1:17:15 what information would I need for for 1:17:17 chat GPT to kind of understand my 1:17:19 worldview and how I would answer things 1:17:21 and how I would talk about things and 1:17:23 and you know like what art I like and 1:17:25 what you know how I respond to problems 1:17:27 and just all that sort of stuff but you 1:17:30 but like what's hit me is you can do 1:17:32 that for like any you can make any kind 1:17:35 of persona you want and that I'm 1:17:37 fascinated about like the funme versus 1:17:40 the cuz you know you know you know where 1:17:42 I learned this an 1:17:44 um someone on my on my Tik Tok Channel 1:17:47 when I when I first launched those 1:17:49 content Evolution digital twins said hey 1:17:51 I went and played with your digital twin 1:17:53 it didn't know embrace the Jank 1:17:56 uh it didn't know you can make money 1:17:57 with chat PT like he he was like he felt 1:18:00 ripped off he's like that's not you I 1:18:02 know the you that's on Tik 1:18:04 Tok and that made me go oh [ __ ] because 1:18:07 so we could consciously choose okay so I 1:18:11 could probably take the transcripts of 1:18:13 my you know all my Tik Tok lives and and 1:18:16 basically just have chat GPT synthesize 1:18:19 those into a nice Persona that talks 1:18:22 like I talk right and then I would have 1:18:24 the T Talk version of me like so that to 1:18:26 me like was a real eye opener that like 1:18:29 we have these dis different personas why 1:18:31 not [ __ ] design them yeah right I was 1:18:35 just thinking about like so I'm an enog 1:18:40 8 and along with that is like a certain 1:18:42 set of attributes that are all like some 1:18:45 really really good things but then 1:18:46 there's like the shadow eight and if I 1:18:49 did that interview when I was in my 1:18:52 shadow self yep versus in my like clear 1:18:56 thinking Optimist and I could like go 1:19:00 back to one or the other like if I'm in 1:19:02 if I'm being an [ __ ] currently and I 1:19:05 could be like talking to this Shadow one 1:19:08 and be like oh yeah well this is so 1:19:09 obvious that you're going to act out 1:19:12 let's see what the nonshadow eight would 1:19:15 do right like and you and you could do 1:19:18 you could design two different um 1:19:22 structured question sets to elicit that 1:19:25 that and then put both of those in there 1:19:27 and then you could write a prompt to say 1:19:29 I've got my shadow self and my 1:19:31 enlightened self and and My Shadow Self 1:19:33 serves a role and here's the the role it 1:19:35 serves right and you could you could 1:19:37 design that that would actually think 1:19:40 think how cool that would be you could 1:19:41 design a GPT that every answer it gives 1:19:44 it gives you from both P both points of 1:19:47 view then I can give it to my husband 1:19:50 and I can 1:19:53 say what 1:19:56 exactly see I told you I was 1:20:00 right like hey you know try that one out 1:20:04 an try that one out and see how it goes 1:20:07 see which an you're gonna get today yeah 1:20:10 yeah exactly exactly that's awesome all 1:20:13 right oh all right thank you so much 1:20:16 Kyle yeah this was a blast I will see 1:20:18 you again soon and by the way I did want 1:20:19 to put it in the back of your mind that 1:20:22 we could plan ahead to do something um 1:20:26 for the around the holidays yeah we we 1:20:28 should probably do that again yeah let's 1:20:30 figure out what we want to do it like I 1:20:32 don't think it's gpts but I think it's 1:20:34 something I I think it's something and 1:20:36 it's like I kind of like the 24-hour 1:20:39 thing where we're producing stuff but 1:20:41 let's let's think about that now because 1:20:43 I think it's that that week between 1:20:45 Christmas and New Year's is is that was 1:20:48 really fun and it was really impactful 1:20:50 and you 1:20:51 know so right and now there it's cool 1:20:55 but well anyway yes let's let's start 1:20:58 thinking well I mean we don't need to 1:20:59 think too far ahead because we'll just 1:21:00 like launch it whatever but um yeah I 1:21:04 definitely want to do something okay all 1:21:06 right me too all right talk soon thanks 1:21:09 Kyle 1:21:12 bye all right is that done yeah that's 1:21:16 done I close that window boom boom boom 1:21:20 boom hi everybody what's happening 1:21:29 um and now that we're alone where are 1:21:32 you Kyle I'm in my office um all right I 1:21:38 am I can close that I'm gonna get out of 1:21:41 here what's up hey Kyle hi Kyle what's 1:21:45 happening all right I gotta go my 1:21:47 business partner just called me so I got 1:21:48 to go talk to her peace out I'll see you 1:21:50 later bye
