Description

Some nights I have a massive plan about what will happen. This isn't one of those nights. In a recent livestream, Kyle Shannon discussed the evolving landscape of AI and the increasing need for excellence in AI-generated work. He observed that while AI models haven't dramatically improved recently, the ability to simply use AI tools is no longer enough. Shannon emphasized the importance of intent and vision, advocating for a more thoughtful and deliberate approach to AI creation. He introduced "create excellence" as a core value, urging creators to be brave enough to make something they're excited to share, pushing beyond mere competence to produce truly exceptional work. Shannon also explored the democratizing power of AI, noting how it empowers individuals to realize creative projects they previously thought impossible. He encouraged viewers to embrace AI, citing examples of people creating children's books and other projects with the help of these tools. He then showcased live demonstrations of upscaling and outpainting an image using various AI platforms like Crea and Midjourney, providing a real-time glimpse into his creative process. He further engaged with his audience by remixing a song on Suno and submitting it to a contest, highlighting the platform's potential for collaborative music creation. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

0:00 How about we just dance? We did the boom
0:03 shaboom, the dod mocha cha and the
0:06 nitty-gritty. We did the hooch, the lazy
0:08 ballerina. Baby, make me feel like I'm a
0:11 California dreamer. Yeah.
0:17 Wait.
0:29 [Music]
0:32 Hey Danielle, what's happening? What's
0:34 shaking good people?
0:39 [Music]
0:52 Woohoo!
0:57 [Music]
1:08 [Music]
1:18 [Music]
1:20 Wow!
1:22 [Music]
1:26 Girl, you're looking
1:31 find a night.
1:34 Every fella's got you in his sight.
1:39 [Music]
1:41 What you doing with a clown like me?
1:48 Wait.
1:53 [Music]
1:55 It's surely one of life's little
1:59 mystery.
2:00 So tonight I ask
2:04 [Music]
2:06 the stars above.
2:10 How did I ever win your love?
2:16 What did I do?
2:19 What did I say
2:22 [Music]
2:25 to turn to turn your ranger ass
2:31 my way?
2:36 [Music]
2:39 [Laughter]
2:41 [Music]
2:56 Woohoo!
3:00 Woohoo!
3:02 [Music]
3:08 [Applause]
3:09 [Music]
3:10 [Applause]
3:13 [Music]
4:00 [Music]
4:05 Oh, what is happening? Doing good
4:10 people.
4:12 I've got no plan tonight. I got the new
4:15 operating system in the Rabbit R1, so we
4:18 can play with that.
4:22 Um,
4:24 [Music]
4:28 I do want to talk about something
4:30 though.
4:33 [Music]
4:43 And that is
4:46 [Music]
4:47 I talk about this occasionally.
4:51 I talk about feeling like we're entering
4:52 a new era. And I feel like we're
4:54 entering a new era, but normally that's
4:57 been in the context of AI. Yeah.
5:02 Have you heard about this thing called
5:03 AI? It's going to be big. It's going to
5:05 be really big. Going to be really big.
5:07 You won't like it. I like them ters.
5:11 Um,
5:13 normally when I say we're in a new era,
5:16 it's like there's
5:18 a new phase of the technology.
5:20 It's not that. It's not that at all. In
5:23 fact,
5:25 everyone that I'm talking to,
5:28 because I don't I don't I don't know if
5:30 this is obvious to you, but I don't hang
5:33 out with quantum physicists that much. I
5:37 mean, sure, the occasional,
5:40 you know, Neil deGrasse Tyson sighting,
5:48 but but
5:53 Most of the people that I work with,
5:56 talk to about AI, who are using AI
6:01 are not noticing dramatic
6:05 improvements in the models.
6:10 Now, you could argue that Nano Banana is
6:12 a step change. You could argue that
6:16 some of the agentic stuff like Gen Spark
6:18 are kind of stepchangy.
6:22 OpenAI agent maybe no one's using it
6:24 that I know but just day-to-day chat
6:27 GPTing just basic AI use chat GPT5 is
6:32 just kind of a different personality
6:34 than GPT4 it's not super better it's not
6:38 super worse claude is in the same
6:40 neighborhood Grock is in the same
6:42 neighborhood
6:46 Gemini
6:49 and Yeah. So, so they're all they're all
6:51 in the same neighborhood just for basic
6:53 stuff.
6:58 And this channel and the AI salon
7:01 were started very very early in AI
7:06 and
7:10 the only
7:12 if you wanted to be a player like a
7:15 player. If you wanted to be a player,
7:20 um, all you had to do is be curious,
7:24 right? If you got fancy, you built a
7:27 custom GPT.
7:30 If you could do image prompting and
7:33 large language model prompting, and god
7:35 forbid, some some coding prompting over
7:38 here, some language prompting here, some
7:40 image prompting here, you were [ __ ]
7:41 killing it, right?
7:44 And the quality of work didn't really
7:45 matter. It was just that you could do
7:47 work that you could use this thing.
7:50 Cling on a cling. You mean cling AI or
7:54 cl? I assume you mean cling.
7:59 Yes. Okay. We'll go check that out.
8:02 Oh, I think I saw that earlier.
8:06 Here's the error that I think we're
8:07 entering.
8:12 I think we got to start doing better
8:13 work.
8:16 I think we got got to start doing higher
8:19 quality work.
8:22 More excellence. And more excellence.
8:27 Not just I can make chat GPT do
8:29 something cool but excellence like a
8:33 chain of intent, a chain of direction, a
8:35 chain of activities
8:38 that are leading to some grand vision
8:40 that maybe you have to use some
8:42 different tools to get there.
8:46 And I think it's so important that I'm
8:48 actually I'm actually developing a new
8:54 developing I'm articulating a new value
8:57 for the salon for the AI salon
9:01 and that new value is create excellence
9:06 and I think I'm going to
9:10 because you can't have even numbered
9:12 things right now we have five values And
9:14 so you can't have six values. You have
9:17 to have five or seven. It's just a rule.
9:19 Vicki knows. Vicki knows. There's just
9:22 certain rules you have in life. And
9:24 oddnumbered lists are one of them. It's
9:26 just the way it is. You have three, five
9:27 or seven, and that's it. Nine's too
9:30 many. No one No one can really deal with
9:32 seven. So five's kind of nice.
9:35 So we got to we got to retire one.
9:38 [Music]
9:40 Vicki. Yep.
9:44 I love you, Vicki. That's awesome.
9:50 Oh man. So, it's going to be five.
9:55 So, so if I think about create
9:57 excellence like there there were
10:00 let me let me unpack how I got to it.
10:02 The first thing was I realized that in
10:05 the AI salon values, we didn't have a
10:08 single value that was about the work. It
10:10 was all about connecting with people. So
10:13 there was curiosity and empathy and
10:15 playfulness and uh what was the fourth
10:19 one? Wait, hang on.
10:30 Um fourth one was bravery and the fifth
10:33 one was generosity.
10:37 And
10:39 if I think about
10:42 work, you know, you could put like
10:45 you could put excellence, you could put
10:47 creative.
10:49 Um,
10:51 at one point I thought creative
10:52 excellence. The problem with creative
10:54 excellence is it just makes it about
10:57 creative output like pictures and movies
10:59 and music.
11:03 And then I kind of landed on create
11:05 excellence. The problem with with just
11:07 excellence on its own is it just sounds
11:08 like one of those successories posters.
11:12 Excellence. We stand for excellence.
11:14 Everything we do here is going to be
11:16 excellent.
11:18 And what I landed on was create
11:20 excellence.
11:26 [Music]
11:30 When you're dealing with AI, when you're
11:32 dealing with an AI that's capable of
11:34 doing good work,
11:37 you don't have to put much effort in to
11:39 do good work.
11:41 But to do excellent work
11:45 is like a it's it's like a personal
11:49 it's a personal measure, right? Is this
11:52 work excellent?
11:55 And if you're just sort of lazy
11:57 prompting and squirting s stuff out,
12:00 it's not going to be excellent because
12:02 everyone can do that.
12:04 And so I think as as as a community in
12:06 the salon, but I think as a community of
12:09 AI professionals, I think this new era
12:12 is about us claiming our role
12:18 as people who can create excellence. And
12:22 how you create excellence is you stand
12:25 firm in an idea
12:28 and you stand committed in that idea.
12:30 So, so it means you have to have an idea
12:33 first. So create excellence is I'm not
12:36 just going to sit down at the keyboard
12:38 and vomit out crap.
12:42 Right?
12:43 Create excellence means we're going to
12:45 we're going to start at square zero. And
12:48 square zero is Huh.
12:51 What do I want to make?
12:54 Do I want to make an app? Do I want to
12:56 make a
12:58 an art project?
13:02 Do I want to take my photography and
13:05 find some way to reimagine it? Do I want
13:08 to start a business?
13:12 Who am I doing it for? Am I doing it for
13:15 myself? Am I doing it for my community?
13:18 Am I doing it for someone at work? Am I
13:20 doing it for someone I have a crush on?
13:26 And like take the time to have that idea
13:28 to have that
13:31 have enough understanding of your intent
13:36 to understand what good would look like
13:40 because you can probably get to good
13:42 pretty quickly, but at least you're in a
13:44 direction.
13:45 And then if you're going to create
13:47 excellence, what do you need to do to
13:49 take it to that next level? What do you
13:51 need to do to to elevate it?
13:55 [Laughter]
13:57 Are you are you a licensed instigator?
13:59 What what are your qualifications? I I
14:02 have instigated many an AI practitioner
14:05 and tonight I am instigating even
14:08 further.
14:10 What I'm saying is just doing it ain't
14:13 good enough anymore.
14:18 It's so funny. In the past three weeks,
14:20 I've had
14:22 I don't know, Brandon, four or five
14:24 different people who
14:27 have not been to the lives in a while
14:29 have come back in and commented like,
14:32 "Oh, you're still doing this?"
14:41 And I I like
14:45 like how I take that is
14:51 we're we're in a different phase. We're
14:53 in a different phase. And I think I
14:54 think we need to
14:59 I think one of the things I want to
15:00 explore in here is how do I elevate the
15:04 conversation so that we're not just
15:06 talking about here's how you vomit out
15:08 some stuff. Like even the video that we
15:11 did last night that I was really happy
15:12 with.
15:19 The tsunami is coming back in. So are
15:22 the views. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
15:26 Yeah. I think that's right. Um
15:30 last night was great. Here, let's look
15:31 at this video.
15:47 Alone on glass.
15:51 No pulse beneath.
15:55 A shadow wait
15:59 without a name.
16:03 A shimmer shift
16:06 then many more.
16:09 Like thoughts of born
16:12 and never called.
16:16 They turn as one but not for you. They
16:23 answer nothing.
16:26 Yet they move
16:30 left
16:32 right.
16:33 Not yours to go.
16:39 [Music]
16:51 [Music]
16:55 Rhythm red
16:58 beyond command. It pulls, it falls,
17:05 it vanishes.
17:11 Are you the eye
17:15 or the echo? Oh,
17:18 [Music]
17:22 are you the hush
17:26 or the hollow?
17:32 They come not.
17:36 They never speak.
17:40 Yet still.
17:43 >> So he did that over the past two nights.
17:46 Now, is that excellent? I don't know.
17:48 You may or may not think that that's
17:50 excellent. But
17:54 here's a
17:57 here's a a phrase in the definition of
18:00 this value that I'm working with.
18:05 So, we're getting rid of the the the
18:07 value of bravery.
18:09 I think doing excellent work, I think
18:12 creating excellence actually takes
18:14 courage.
18:16 Because you actually have to have a
18:18 point of view. And if you have a point
18:20 of view, that means that by definition,
18:23 some people are not going to agree with
18:25 that point of view.
18:27 They're not going to agree with it
18:28 creatively. They're not going to agree
18:29 with it politically. They're not going
18:30 to agree with it psychologically.
18:34 It's just not going to move them. It's
18:36 just going to be not their cup of tea.
18:39 So, there's something risky there. So,
18:42 one of the phrases that I'm working with
18:44 in the definition of create excellence
18:46 is be brave enough to make something
18:50 that you're excited to share.
18:55 And so, that little movie that we just
18:57 watched,
19:02 whether it's good or not, it excites me.
19:07 Like I love the story of how we got to
19:10 it. I loved that we were going to go
19:13 play with midjourney styles. We were
19:15 starting in this very external technical
19:18 kind of way. We were going to go look at
19:20 lists of style references
19:23 and then I just shouted out into the
19:24 ether someone come up with a prompt and
19:27 a couple of prompts came in and source
19:30 camp said
19:32 um
19:33 just keep swimming which is [ __ ]
19:36 weird.
19:38 So we just keep swimming and then we
19:40 just went and clicked on a bunch of
19:42 style references and and the prompt just
19:44 keep swimming. Click click click click
19:46 click click click click click. Right.
19:48 What is that? That's AI slop. Click,
19:50 click, click, click, click, click,
19:51 click. But it's not AI slop, is it?
19:55 Because we've got a specific prompt.
19:57 That's weird.
20:00 And we're going to compare that same
20:03 prompt across these different styles.
20:05 What are we looking for? I don't know.
20:09 What we could have found is nothing.
20:12 All right, we made some pictures.
20:16 Did we create something that I was
20:18 excited to share? Not yet.
20:26 Yeah. Normalize calling AI slop rough
20:29 drafts. Well, here's the thing. I think
20:31 if you generate if you generate AI slop,
20:35 just sort of thoughtless AI, and then
20:38 you share that with the world as if you
20:40 thought about it, that's AI slop.
20:43 But if you quickly make a bunch of stuff
20:45 in AI and you're using it to inspire
20:48 yourself or to entertain yourself or
20:49 whatever and you're not going to share
20:51 it, you're not exciting excited about
20:53 sharing it. That's just called practice,
20:57 right?
20:59 How many how many balls does
21:01 NovakJokovic hit that no one sees?
21:08 you know, Jordan, 10,000, you know,
21:11 10,000 foul shots. Was it a weekend, a
21:14 day? I don't know. I don't think it's
21:16 possible a day. But most of the shots
21:19 that Jordan took, no one saw.
21:23 I'm working on my first animation series
21:25 for kids using AI. I would love to chat
21:27 with you. Absolutely. DM me on the uh
21:31 either on LinkedIn or DM me on um the
21:35 mighty networks, the AI salon.
21:38 remember you commenting on how I kept
21:40 working through the images early on,
21:42 Kyle? Yeah. So, so this was a thing.
21:44 Corey Sandler early on when she first
21:46 started when she first discovered
21:49 I don't know if it was midjourney or
21:52 stable diffusion, whatever it was,
21:53 doesn't matter. It was one of the image
21:55 generation tools.
21:58 And I would I would get on here and I
22:01 would, you know, I'd get if I did three
22:04 or four prompts in a direction, I'd be
22:06 proud of myself.
22:08 And then I saw this work that Corey
22:11 Sandler was doing and she was doing
22:14 dozens of iterations. She would get
22:17 something and she would iterate on it
22:19 and then she would iterate on it and she
22:20 would iterate on it and she was doing
22:22 like glasses and she was doing these
22:24 custo oh it was custom GPTs. It was it
22:26 was when uh it was when Dolly Dolly 3
22:29 came out, the image generation part of
22:31 Chat GPT. And she was just digging
22:33 deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper
22:35 and she would run down these rabbit
22:37 holes. And like what what amazed me
22:40 about it was
22:45 about three or four layers in, I could
22:47 see where she was headed
22:49 and I could recognize that that's where
22:52 I would stop.
22:56 And not only did she keep going, she
22:58 kept going like deeper and deeper and
23:00 deeper and deeper and deeper.
23:03 And I remember asking her about it and
23:04 she goes, "Well, it's just that's not
23:06 it."
23:07 And she would go deeper. And she's like,
23:09 "That's not it." But it it was in a
23:11 direction. She wasn't going back up and
23:12 going across. She was going down. She
23:15 was running down this rabbit hole. And
23:17 she would get somewhere down toward the
23:18 bottom. at some point down there, she
23:21 would generate something that she's
23:23 like, "Yeah, that's one. That's one that
23:25 I'm excited to share. That's one that
23:28 that's one that I'm willing to put out
23:29 there."
23:35 Like, that's it, Corey.
23:38 That's it.
23:45 And I think that I think that that's
23:53 that it that it was good enough in the
23:55 early days to just dick around and just
23:58 be decently competent.
24:01 And I there's just too many too many
24:04 people are using tools that are too good
24:06 on their own
24:10 to just be curious anymore. So I think
24:12 curiosity is how you how you learn,
24:16 right?
24:17 Learn how you learn. I saw a really good
24:20 Tik Tok today that was about that. Learn
24:22 how you learn
24:26 and then keep learning. So, I think you
24:28 got to keep doing that. But I think
24:31 we're getting into the place like what
24:32 does it mean to be a professional in
24:35 generative AI? What does it mean to be
24:37 an AI artist?
24:40 What does it mean to be an AI creative
24:42 director? What does it mean to be an AI
24:43 producer?
24:46 Yeah, just keep learning.
24:49 I'm blending modern and renaissance in '
24:51 80s colors. Oh, wait.
24:54 I use AI to challenge myself regarding
24:57 modern art. So, I'm blending modern and
24:59 renaissance with 80s colors. That That's
25:02 it. That's perfect, right? And so, and
25:04 like and what that what that starts to
25:07 look like, Mimi, is
25:11 you're in an exploration right now,
25:13 right? And so, so you're exploring these
25:16 worlds and you're using AI to mash these
25:18 things together and at some point some
25:21 image
25:23 is going to speak to you. I've I've I've
25:25 shared this image before many times, but
25:28 let me go show show it again because
25:36 I think there's something in it.
25:41 This image right here.
25:46 I'm not sharing right. Check the pin.
25:49 I'm new here.
25:52 Wait, what's your name?
25:55 Phil and Crafty. Oh, feeling crafty.
25:58 Phil and Crafty. Welcome, Phil.
26:02 I like your name. Yeah, I know. I got to
26:03 check I got to change my tabs. Hang on.
26:05 I got to change my sharing. Um, welcome.
26:07 If you're new here, my name is Kyle
26:08 Shann. I am wholly unqualified to be
26:11 doing anything resembling teaching.
26:13 Let's get that out of the way up front.
26:15 If you have not joined the AI salon, you
26:17 should go check it out. Go to
26:18 community.thesalon.ai.
26:24 And what that is is it's a community of
26:26 about 3,000 people. Now, not all of them
26:29 are active,
26:32 but it's a community of AI optimists.
26:34 And it's a community of people that are
26:35 trying to figure this [ __ ] out.
26:38 And and to a person, what I can promise
26:40 you is that as as as big of a head start
26:43 as they have on you, if you're like,
26:45 "Oh, that's going to be intimidating.
26:47 They know so much more than I do,"
26:50 they know some more than you do. And
26:53 there is so much that they don't know
26:55 and that I don't know and that we don't
26:57 collectively know that no one
26:59 effectively knows anything.
27:03 So jump in, get engaged with community,
27:06 start hanging out with people that are
27:07 thinking about this stuff. So let me
27:08 tell you the story of this image.
27:13 Um just happened. Oh,
27:18 so if I if I if I'm just scrolling here,
27:20 like all these images,
27:22 this is when I got into stable diffusion
27:25 and a thing called Dream Booth where I
27:28 could upload pictures of myself and it
27:29 made all these crazy self-portraits.
27:33 And I started this project called Kyle
27:35 Shannon Dreams
27:37 where I'd share all these. And then one
27:39 day
27:41 I I forget what my process was. My
27:43 process was like I think I would find
27:45 someone else's prompt and then I would
27:48 come in and I would twist it. I would
27:49 just put some spin on it and then I
27:52 would just do that until I found like a
27:54 series that looked interesting and then
27:56 I would make five or six images and then
27:57 I'd move on.
28:01 And so in doing that one day, well,
28:05 let's see
28:09 that image came up.
28:12 I was like, "That's interesting."
28:14 And these these would take like two
28:16 minutes each.
28:21 And then that came up, I was like, "Oh,
28:23 that's interesting." And then that came
28:25 up, I was like, "Oh, that's really
28:26 interesting." And then that came up. And
28:30 when this image came up,
28:33 it literally took my breath away. It
28:35 literally I went I I literally gasped. I
28:38 was by myself. I think it was late at
28:40 night. I was just making images. This
28:43 image came up and I was like
28:46 and I got really emotional. I had like,
28:48 you know, chills run down my body
28:53 and I just sat with this image for a
28:56 long time. I actually I want to go
28:58 upscale this because I think it's just
29:00 such a beautiful image. Be nice to
29:01 upscale.
29:04 And I sat there for a long time looking
29:05 at it and
29:11 I was kind of hit with a
29:14 a sadness
29:16 and a euphoria at the same time.
29:22 And what that was about was
29:25 the euphoria was
29:28 if I had the skills
29:31 and the vision and the talent and enough
29:34 time and enough training,
29:37 this is the kind of art I would create.
29:42 Like this this was the first time in all
29:45 those images that I made, this was the
29:46 first image that I was like, "Oh my god,
29:48 that's me." like that's
29:51 that's me. And the sadness was
29:55 realizing
29:57 that that wasn't a path I took in my
29:59 life to have those skills.
30:02 But here I was in a moment with this
30:04 remarkable technology where I still made
30:07 an image that that came even though it
30:11 was sort of externally derived when it
30:13 showed up it was like that's me. That's
30:16 that's that's my aesthetic. That's my
30:20 thing.
30:22 We are all artists.
30:25 Make it a movie. See what happens.
30:27 Maybe.
30:32 And so, and so I think this is the
30:40 I don't have enough of those moments.
30:45 And I think with AI, it's really easy
30:47 not to have any of those moments. You
30:49 can just you can just get into this sort
30:52 of
30:54 steady, stunning.
30:58 It's like it's like flipping through Tik
31:00 Tok, right?
31:02 Endorphin hit. Endorphin hit. Endorphin
31:04 hit. Oh, that's pretty. That's nice.
31:11 But I think creating excellence requires
31:13 you to take a moment and say, "What do I
31:15 want? What does good look like?"
31:20 You found you. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly.
31:23 Art is a verb, right? Live it. Yeah.
31:26 Exactly.
31:28 And it's scary. Create excellence. Be
31:31 brave enough to create something you're
31:33 excited to share. Because in order to
31:35 get to something you're excited to
31:37 share, you have to make a bunch of [ __ ]
31:42 that will test the edges of your
31:45 self-esteem.
31:49 Right.
31:51 Corey Sandler banging out those images.
31:53 Next, next. Next, next. Next.
31:57 Down. Down. Down. Down. Down. That's not
31:59 it. That's not it. That's not it.
32:03 at any point in that journey, she could
32:05 go, "I don't have talent.
32:07 I'm not good enough."
32:09 And maybe maybe she has those feelings,
32:11 but she keeps going,
32:14 right? I don't think she does. She's
32:17 she's she seems like a relatively stable
32:19 cool chick. I think she's got some of
32:21 this [ __ ] figured out,
32:24 but she keeps going.
32:26 And what makes her keeps going is she's
32:28 got a vision. She's got an intent. She
32:32 knows what she wants it to be. And until
32:34 it's that, she's not going to stop.
32:38 That's where I think we all need to get.
32:41 So,
32:43 so there I wanted to share that.
32:47 Feeling crafty. I created a story book
32:50 today and about fell out of my chair.
32:52 Well, that's I Well, and that's, you
32:54 know, that's that's kind of the stunning
32:56 thing about about AI is I don't know
33:00 your background. Um, Phil
33:03 Phil and Crafty, I don't know your
33:06 background, but
33:08 maybe you're a great illustrator, maybe
33:10 you're not. Maybe you're a great kids
33:11 book writer, maybe you're not. But with
33:14 AI today, you made a kids book.
33:17 Do you know how many people over the
33:19 years that I've talked to and they find
33:21 out I'm a writer or I'm a creative or
33:23 whatever, they say, "Oh, you know, I've
33:26 had this idea for a kids book for 20
33:28 years."
33:29 A lot a lot of people a lot of people.
33:35 And what stops them? Well, they didn't
33:38 go to art school. They can't draw.
33:40 They're not so good with the words.
33:43 They're really good at technical
33:46 writing, but they're horrible at
33:47 simpling things down, dumbing things
33:49 down.
33:51 They're bad at imagery.
33:54 Well, now you're now you now you now you
33:56 no longer have that limitation.
34:00 That's what AI does. What AI does is it
34:02 is it taps you into the possibility that
34:05 all the [ __ ] that you said you you
34:07 didn't think you could do, you can now
34:09 do to at least some degree and and very
34:13 often to a very high degree.
34:17 And then what's going to separate the
34:18 good from the bad? And what's going to
34:20 separate the work that stands above from
34:23 the work that just becomes noise
34:27 is excellence.
34:29 Is a human being
34:32 with access to the exact same tools that
34:35 everyone else has creating excellence
34:38 that is above the mean.
34:44 How do you do that?
34:48 That's [ __ ] art. That's That's the
34:50 creative process.
34:54 I make t-shirts, but I'm over 40 and I
34:56 understand that AI is here. Here you go.
34:58 This is it. And it's not going anywhere.
35:02 Phil and Crafty.
35:04 Hala fuckinglelujah.
35:09 That's the whole message of this
35:10 channel. The whole message of this
35:12 channel is there's this profound thing
35:16 amongst us. There's this profound suite
35:20 of capabilities
35:25 that are going to literally decimate
35:27 some jobs and make entirely new new jobs
35:31 possible.
35:33 And nobody, not a single person has any
35:37 idea where this is going.
35:40 And if it's not going anywhere, if if
35:42 all it's doing is accelerating, then we
35:45 have two choices in this world, Phil.
35:48 And you [ __ ] hit it. Well, you chose
35:51 you chose the path that I that that this
35:53 channel is about. You either deal with
35:55 it or you don't.
35:58 And if you deal with it, you learn that
36:01 you can take your t-shirt making skills
36:05 and you can go into this thing, you can
36:07 go, huh, if I take that vision I have
36:10 for what goes on a t-shirt and I twist
36:12 it slightly, that could be a kids story
36:15 and then I could take these images and
36:17 then I could make those and I could
36:19 probably write a kids book and an hour
36:21 [ __ ] later, two hours later, you have
36:23 a kids book.
36:27 Holy [ __ ]
36:31 And there's just a whole other pile of
36:33 people that are like, "Nope,
36:36 not going to do it. It's the world's
36:38 greatest plagiarism machine. It's just a
36:40 stochastic parrot. Hey, I can't do
36:42 anything creative.
36:44 Hey, I can't do anything creative." Look
36:46 at that image.
36:52 It took me [ __ ] 3,000 images to get
36:54 to that image.
36:56 Oh, no. Literally two minutes. I was
36:58 floored. Yeah, there you go. Exactly.
37:02 Exactly. Corey Sandler, I'm a 63y old
37:04 potter. As analog as it gets and AI is
37:07 absolutely now,
37:09 a friend just contacted me today to talk
37:11 about writing a book. Coincidence? I
37:13 think not. Right. Create excellence.
37:15 Silver Fox,
37:19 if you say to AI, write me a book, is it
37:21 going to write you a good book? No.
37:25 It's going to write you a pile of [ __ ]
37:30 But if you say, "Hey, I've got this idea
37:32 for this book
37:35 and it's got birds in it and it's got
37:38 Dan Brown's got this new book, The Da
37:40 Vinci Code. Dan Brown, he's got this new
37:42 book that's about
37:44 um like uh
37:49 treasure hunting inside consciousness.
37:54 I'm absolutely fascinated to read it. I
37:56 hate reading, but I love the Da Vinci
37:58 Code and it's some it's some crazy
38:00 amount of pages. It's it's big. It's but
38:02 it's about treasure hunting inside
38:04 consciousness.
38:07 Can you write an excellent book using
38:10 AI? Yes, you can.
38:13 But not by just thoughtlessly hitting,
38:17 give me a book.
38:21 Like even the book you made in two
38:22 minutes, Phil, it's probably good, but
38:24 you probably look through it and well
38:25 that's kind of weird. That's kind of
38:26 weird. Okay, that's your point of view.
38:29 Lean into that. Tighten that up a bit.
38:32 Go look at it. And you can go from a
38:34 good book to an excellent book in four
38:37 minutes.
38:42 So anyway,
38:46 so I think this is where I'm going to
38:47 start pushing us. This where I'm going
38:49 to start pushing this channel
38:52 is not just can you use the tool, but
38:56 can you use the tool
38:58 and be brave enough with it to generate
39:01 something that you'd be excited to
39:03 share?
39:06 And like, have you done that today?
39:16 Have you made something today that
39:18 you're excited to share? Not that you're
39:21 willing to share.
39:23 That's good.
39:26 Willing to share is good. Excited to
39:28 share.
39:31 That video I made last night that we
39:33 played and I took all the time to post
39:35 and I yelled at Elon Musk about for not
39:39 having an upload service. I got done
39:41 with this. You know what I The first
39:43 thing I did? I went into my wife. Want
39:44 to see what I made? Like like like a
39:47 [ __ ] seven-year-old. I made a
39:50 picture. Were you hanging on the fridge?
39:54 Remember being excited to share [ __ ]
39:56 when you were seven?
39:59 Then daddy's like, "Well, you're not
40:01 very talented, are you?" [ __ ] I guess
40:03 I'm not an artist.
40:06 [ __ ] 54 years later, you're like,
40:08 "No, I'm not an artist. Daddy told me
40:10 so. Then you find AI and you're like,
40:13 hey, maybe I am an artist.
40:19 That takes courage. It takes courage to
40:22 say, I'm going to make something I'm
40:24 proud of. I'm going to make something
40:25 I'm excited to share. I'm going to be
40:28 willing to run down that rabbit hole and
40:30 produce piece after piece after piece
40:33 after piece. That's not quite right. Not
40:35 quite right. Not quite right. That's not
40:36 it. That's not it. That's not it. That's
40:38 not it.
40:40 I'm going to have the guts to keep going
40:44 until I see something like this image
40:47 that [ __ ] takes your breath away.
40:52 When this image came up, I went and I
40:54 changed all of my profile pictures on
40:56 every every one of my social media
40:58 things to this.
41:01 I posted it everywhere. I wrote up a
41:04 little story about it.
41:07 this is what I would make if I had the
41:09 skills to do it.
41:15 People didn't get it. They were like,
41:17 "Well, maybe you should just go take a
41:19 Photoshop lesson there, Kyle." Hey,
41:21 Kyle, you know what I was thinking? You
41:24 were saying earlier you were a
41:25 talentless oaf, and I don't think you're
41:27 a talentless oaf. I just think you
41:29 haven't taken the right lessons. Maybe
41:31 if you go take some Photoshop lessons,
41:33 you could learn some layering and some
41:35 compositing and then you could do this.
41:43 Oh, good lord.
41:46 To see with one eye is to face the truth
41:48 without flinching. The whole sky
41:50 reflected in a single gaze. This is the
41:53 eye that watches us back.
41:57 Asking whether we are able to awake the
42:00 future. we are making. Yeah. It is the
42:03 mirror of the soul and the machine
42:05 reminding us that creation and
42:07 responsibility are the same act. Create
42:10 excellence. Create it. It's a choice
42:17 to move beyond good. It's a choice to
42:19 move beyond good.
42:21 So,
42:23 all right.
42:26 Soapbox is over.
42:35 Corey Sandler, your image on your screen
42:37 is exactly about you being the brain be
42:40 behind AI. Wow. You know what? You're
42:43 right. It is
42:48 the
42:51 Corey. That is
43:01 Right. The human being right there is
43:03 Oz.
43:07 Right. The Oz behind the curtain.
43:13 Put that on a shirt.
43:16 Yeah. Let's go. Let's go upscale this
43:17 bad boy.
43:21 Let's see. Let me export this.
43:25 God, the export function in Apple Photos
43:28 is so [ __ ] bad.
43:35 It's the AI. Exactly.
43:39 Exactly.
43:41 Yeah. No, but it it really is like like
43:43 AI is like this mysterious
43:46 thing that can see better than we can
43:48 see, can think better than we can think,
43:50 is this mysterious thing that clouds our
43:53 vision and yet gives us vision.
43:57 Corey, I didn't I've never it that never
44:00 hit me that this is the that I am
44:05 behind.
44:07 I am sitting there being empowered by
44:11 this thing,
44:13 but it's on me. It's around me. It's
44:15 feeding me. It's amplifying me.
44:18 That's [ __ ] brilliant. Okay,
44:22 let's go
44:25 to Korea.
44:37 We're going to go to the enhancer.
44:52 Korea enhance. This is the best one,
44:54 right? Korea's powerful thing. Topaz
44:57 Topaz Generative
45:00 Expensive Model 40 seconds.
45:04 30 seconds. Crea Legacy. We'll do Crea
45:06 Enhance.
45:10 AI strength. Let's put that pretty high.
45:13 Resemblance. I don't really care.
45:17 Clarity. I want clarity. Much higher.
45:19 Sharpness
45:21 kind of middle high. Match color.
45:24 Yeah, I don't really care about that.
45:28 Forex.
45:31 Let's 4x this bad boy up. Let's go.
45:33 Boom.
45:37 So, where I am right now is
45:38 ka.ai/enhancer.
45:42 So, Crea, there's a couple of very
45:44 interesting tools out. One of them is um
45:48 Deco here. One of them is Leonardo. One
45:51 of them is Crea.
45:55 One of them is Po,
45:57 although Po's not quite as specialized
46:01 where they have a front end, but you you
46:04 get access to a bunch of different
46:06 models. Higsfield is one of those.
46:09 Oh, it changed the color. I don't know
46:11 if I like it.
46:14 No, it's too much.
46:17 But like, let's zoom in on it.
46:22 Like, I like the texture of that stuff,
46:26 but like look what it did to my skin.
46:28 Made it made it terrifying.
46:33 Well, your skin's already pretty bad,
46:34 Kyle. Yeah. Yeah, I know. Okay. Um,
46:41 so I guess I just go back here. So, let
46:43 me go back to 2x instead of 4x.
46:47 We're going to go AI strength
46:51 halfway. Resemblance, we'll do that
46:53 higher. Clarity will lower it a bit.
46:56 Sharpness, we'll lower it a lot. I'm
46:57 going to turn match color back on. And
47:00 enhance. All right, let's go back to
47:02 Let's go back to the drawing board. Dear
47:04 kids,
47:06 couldn't you do it in Canva? probably if
47:08 I knew Canva
47:10 lower the sharpen level. Yeah, here we
47:12 go. This looks better.
47:15 Oh, I love the Look at the pattern in
47:17 the eye. That's looking cool.
47:25 Yeah, that's pretty sweet. Although, it
47:27 got rid of all of our
47:30 these things
47:33 in the upscale. I don't like that. So,
47:36 why did it do that? So, let's we'll do
47:38 resemblance higher, AI strength
47:41 lower,
47:43 clarity higher,
47:47 and let's go back to 4X. Go.
47:55 And then I think what I'm going to do,
47:59 you know, be, you know, be fun tonight.
48:08 The AI.
48:11 We are the vision behind the AI. That's
48:14 so good. That's so good. Clarity 40. Oh,
48:18 clarity 40. All right, fine.
48:23 I don't I haven't [ __ ] around with
48:24 these things enough to know what's good,
48:27 what's not. All right, let's go looking.
48:29 All right, look. It kept our It kept it
48:31 kept our little eyelashes.
48:35 All right, this looks pretty good,
48:37 actually.
48:39 I love these two little eyes right here
48:41 in the fur.
48:47 Pretty
48:53 slick,
48:55 right? Let's go look at the face. Yeah,
48:57 that's not bad. That looks pretty good.
49:11 Let me try it with clarity down at 40.
49:14 I'm going to do AI strength up a little
49:16 bit. All right, try it again. We can go
49:19 back to that one.
49:27 Um, I can do that. Corey
49:36 Corey
49:39 Corey Sandler.
49:44 No, that's not what I wanted.
49:49 Plus
49:51 I
49:56 All right, there you go. It's a a DM on
49:58 the AI salon. Corey,
50:04 where was I?
50:09 There.
50:11 No, I don't like that.
50:15 That's the AI being turned up. That's
50:17 not good.
50:26 I'm going to put clarity at 50,
50:28 resemblance 90,
50:32 sharpness, and we'll leave that at 40.
50:36 Go.
50:44 Wow.
50:47 What are we doing in here? So, here's
50:49 what we're doing in here. I I got up on
50:51 a soapbox and I talked about excellence
50:55 and creating excellence. Create
50:58 excellence
51:00 is a conscious act
51:02 and it requires courage.
51:06 That's what we've been talking about.
51:11 I think I like that eye with the weird
51:14 the weird noniris in it.
51:31 Look at the detail. Isn't this [ __ ]
51:33 amazing? We live in a time where a
51:37 computer can generate that kind of
51:39 detail.
51:42 That's [ __ ] bonkers.
51:45 Look. Look what we had.
51:49 Can I zoom in more? I don't know if you
51:51 can see it, but it's like it's like all
51:53 pixels. And now it's not pixels. Not
52:01 what a time.
52:06 Okay. Do I like this one better?
52:17 I do think I like this one better. It
52:19 doesn't have the sharpening artifacts.
52:30 I don't know how much you can see that.
52:31 I This is pretty cool.
52:37 All
52:52 right.
52:54 So, we're going to download this now.
52:57 We're going to go We're going to go
52:58 exploring. We're going to go exploring.
53:05 Nanobanana gave me a 500 megabyte file
53:08 in Adobe Firefly.
53:10 I don't understand what you mean. Oh,
53:11 you can do Nanobanana inside Firefly. I
53:14 know there's a plugin for Nano Banana
53:16 inside uh Photoshop right now that you
53:18 can get.
53:20 Okay, but here's what we're going to do.
53:21 We're going to go take this this here
53:23 bad mamajamba
53:25 enhanced eye.
53:29 Oh, let's see. Oh, let me open it.
53:37 That's so good. All right, we're going
53:40 to upload that into Mid Journey.
53:52 So now we're in midjourney.
53:56 We're going to go edit
53:59 edit uploaded image.
54:02 Downloads enhanced.
54:59 prompt man with allseeing eye. We're
55:01 going to lower stylization to 50.
55:07 Just see what we get.
55:18 I actually I don't want much more. I
55:20 just I I don't want any additional kind
55:22 of [ __ ] around this. I just want a
55:24 little more breathing room.
55:35 What is he using?
55:37 So the original image was made in stable
55:39 diffusion with dream booth. I just
55:42 upscaled it in crea and now I'm in
55:45 midjourney
55:47 uh outpainting it
55:50 although it doesn't look like it's
55:51 actually working right now.
56:00 Good lord people.
56:07 GenSpark has a new browser. That's
56:09 interesting to me. Did they have an old
56:10 browser? I think they did. I think it
56:13 was pretty shitty. Maybe they made it
56:15 better.
56:22 10% complete.
56:29 Check the tweet. It's interesting. Okay,
56:31 I'll go look at it.
56:35 Why is this taking so long? Oh, I know
56:37 why it's taking so long. Because of all
56:39 of you
56:42 be- because of all of you,
56:45 I ran out of fast credits on midjourney.
56:51 So So everything's in draft mode or or
56:54 in relaxed mode or whatever the [ __ ] it
56:56 is. All right, this is good. Oh, that
56:59 was a good one. Okay, this one right
57:01 here.
57:03 This is great. Okay, we're going to
57:05 upscale this to the gallery.
57:16 Korea can outpaint
57:18 the larger images. Midjourney chokes.
57:21 Oh, interesting.
57:23 Oh, I didn't even think about doing this
57:24 in Korea. Of course, I could do it in
57:26 Korea. I don't know how to do it in
57:27 Korea. Do I do it? I don't do it right
57:30 here, do I?
57:32 So, where do I do that? Crea.
57:37 Um,
57:39 edit. Probably edit, right?
57:42 Rearrange objects, blend objects, or
57:45 expand edges. Upload image. Great.
57:49 Enhanced eye.
57:51 All right.
57:54 Two. Oh, two. Three or four. All right.
57:56 We'll do two.
57:59 Edit.
58:02 Oh, I got access to Korea real time
58:04 video.
58:06 We can go play with that
58:09 image.
58:12 No.
58:13 A [ __ ] What did I do?
58:16 Ah, damn it.
58:21 So, what am I supposed to do here?
58:23 Anybody?
58:28 Anybody know what I'm supposed to do?
58:32 Wait, me, too.
58:34 I couldn't work out how to get to relax
58:37 mode. Oh, I'll show you that. I don't I
58:39 can help you, Vicki. I can help you. I
58:41 feel like we all have to help one
58:42 another. Okay, to get to relax mode, you
58:45 go to settings
58:48 and then it's right here, right under
58:50 aesthetics over to the right.
58:53 You've got the modes right here. Speed,
58:57 fast, turbo, and relaxed.
59:01 I haven't used Korea in decades. I know.
59:03 I know. I feel the same way, Silver Fox.
59:07 And it's like you can't Korea is not
59:09 what it used to be. It used to be this
59:11 really simple thing. Nano Banana. Edit
59:17 bottom left.
59:27 reference.
59:29 I don't see it. I don't know where I'm
59:31 supposed to change the get out painting,
59:34 but anyway, it doesn't matter. We We did
59:36 it over in Midjourney. So, let's go
59:38 let's go find our image here.
59:41 Let's zoom in.
59:45 All right. Midjourney kind of softened
59:47 things up. But look what look what it
59:48 did that I love. It gave us this little
59:50 eye. This little this little fern like
59:54 eye appendage.
59:59 All right. Now we've got Oh, yeah. It It
1:00:02 totally [ __ ] killed the detail in
1:00:04 here. Yeah, that sucks. In fact, that
1:00:07 sucks bad enough that I'd probably
1:00:09 Photoshop some [ __ ] in. All right, so
1:00:11 let's let's do let's do two things.
1:00:14 Um, I'm going to download this.
1:00:18 I'm going to go back. Back. Yeah. And
1:00:21 then I'm going to download this
1:00:24 because I think the skin on this one's
1:00:28 going to be better.
1:00:30 One of the things that mid Journey does
1:00:33 is it [ __ ] destroys skin. You upscale
1:00:37 skin and details. Yeah, this is much
1:00:39 better.
1:00:41 Okay. So, we're going to take this back
1:00:43 into Korea. Now, now that we're now that
1:00:45 now that we're wider,
1:00:48 we have more image and we have the
1:00:50 little
1:00:52 thing at the top that I like. We're
1:00:53 going to go back into Crea Enhance
1:00:56 because I don't know how to
1:00:59 upscale there.
1:01:02 It's relatively simple, Kyle. If you
1:01:04 just looked at the menu items, it would
1:01:06 be a relatively straightforward
1:01:08 exercise.
1:01:14 [Music]
1:01:16 Click enhance to start. No, I didn't
1:01:19 want to do that one. I want a new one.
1:01:21 Close. Upload.
1:01:24 All right.
1:01:31 Is this someone with a bad skin?
1:01:40 I think it is.
1:01:42 Oh, no, it's not. That's the one with
1:01:45 the bad skin. Okay, good. Perfect.
1:01:48 Open.
1:01:53 And so, it's already So, if we two,
1:01:55 let's just try 2xing it. So, back to
1:01:57 this. Are these where they were? No. All
1:01:59 right. So, we want resemblance higher,
1:02:02 AI strength lower,
1:02:05 clarity pretty high, sharpness not too
1:02:08 high, and match color on.
1:02:11 Go.
1:02:13 All right.
1:02:15 Oh, because apparently I'm basic. Just
1:02:18 ask my kid. Oh, but your relaxed is
1:02:21 grayed out. Oh, you might not be. Oh,
1:02:24 Vicki,
1:02:26 go look at the different subscription
1:02:28 plans on Midjourney. I I went up to the
1:02:31 $60 a month midjourney plan because I'm
1:02:35 an idiot. That was it. That's it. And
1:02:40 I think it's only at the $60 midjourney
1:02:43 thing that you get unlimited relaxed
1:02:48 as I recall.
1:02:50 That's what it is.
1:02:53 Yeah. No. Oh, no relax because you're on
1:02:55 basic. I I see. Yes, that's you said
1:02:57 that. Okay.
1:03:00 Okay, this is good.
1:03:02 I like this a lot. I like that it
1:03:05 cleaned that up.
1:03:12 I want it to have a little more
1:03:15 clarity. I'm going to lower clarity.
1:03:19 I'm going to increase resemblance a bit
1:03:21 more.
1:03:26 Try it again.
1:03:31 It's okay. I don't get sarcasm either. I
1:03:34 speak it. Don't understand it.
1:03:43 Okay. I think I know where I'm going
1:03:45 here.
1:03:46 I don't quite.
1:03:51 So,
1:03:52 anyone who's actually paying attention
1:03:54 to this image and what it means
1:03:58 I think what I might do is take when we
1:04:00 get this image to a happy place, go into
1:04:02 Nana Banana
1:04:05 and put this character in different
1:04:09 scenarios.
1:04:13 I think I don't know. I don't know what
1:04:15 I want to do.
1:04:28 I'm not super crazy about what it's
1:04:30 doing to the eye.
1:04:32 I like what it's doing to the hair.
1:04:42 Oh my god, it's so much better.
1:04:45 The the detail
1:04:49 so much better.
1:04:51 Damn.
1:04:53 All right, this is good. This is good.
1:04:58 Let me let me let me zoom out on this
1:05:00 thing.
1:05:04 All right. So, we're going to download
1:05:06 this.
1:05:07 We're going to do one more one more
1:05:09 pass. We're going to go to photo slop.
1:05:19 I think this is a LinkedIn article,
1:05:21 isn't it?
1:05:23 about create excellence, about
1:05:30 being willing to step into it and
1:05:42 huh,
1:05:43 that's [ __ ] wild.
1:05:46 I think I like the eye better on
1:05:50 the non-enhanced version.
1:05:53 Oh, well, let's go to Photolop.
1:05:57 All right, open.
1:06:05 Where did I I downloaded that thing.
1:06:07 Enhanced. This is it, right?
1:06:14 Yeah, I think that's it.
1:06:22 All right.
1:06:54 [Music]
1:07:04 Da da.
1:07:07 But da da da da.
1:07:27 midtone shadows
1:07:30 50%. All right. So, what I'm doing now
1:08:15 All right. I'm I'm dodging and burning
1:08:18 right now.
1:08:22 If you don't know what that is, it's
1:08:24 photography crap.
1:08:29 Yeah, that's better.
1:08:47 And then I'm going to take the old yield
1:08:49 sharpen tool.
1:08:57 Normal strength 50. We'll do strength
1:09:00 30.
1:09:51 Now I'm just doing a little sharpening
1:09:54 where I want it.
1:10:02 I'm now going to have a nice high-res
1:10:04 version of this thing that's always been
1:10:07 low res. It's kind of cool.
1:10:18 Let me adjust some colors here. Hang on.
1:10:47 [Music]
1:10:53 your favorite profile pick. The one
1:10:55 that's like 6K.
1:11:00 Where's my Is it levels
1:11:03 that has the different colors?
1:11:09 I don't just want RGB. I want
1:11:14 the [ __ ] is it?
1:11:19 Color balance. Oh, hue saturation. This
1:11:23 is it. Master. Here we go.
1:11:26 All right. So, magentas.
1:11:30 Okay. There's just a little bit of
1:11:31 magenta.
1:11:36 reds.
1:11:39 So, what the [ __ ] are these other
1:11:41 colors?
1:12:08 Nothing there.
1:12:12 Ah, there we go. Okay.
1:12:35 Okay. You can't tell. All right. Um,
1:12:38 let me do one other thing here.
1:13:05 All right,
1:13:07 I think we got it. All right, so now
1:13:10 we're going to export as PNG.
1:13:13 And where am I going to save this bad
1:13:15 Larry?
1:13:17 Export.
1:13:20 Quick export as PNG. So I'm going to
1:13:22 call this
1:13:28 behind
1:13:33 the
1:13:35 A I
1:13:37 [Laughter]
1:13:42 will save it to desktop for now. We'll
1:13:45 go import it back into photos.
1:13:49 Wonder if I can just drop it right here
1:13:51 with this one.
1:13:53 Probably not
1:13:59 behind the AI.
1:14:02 Why can I not add to that
1:14:07 library
1:14:08 import?
1:14:13 [Music]
1:14:20 Oh, I think I crashed my machine. Yeah.
1:14:22 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right, we'll
1:14:24 save this in Photo Slop.
1:14:28 Cuz it's gorgeous. It's just gorgeous.
1:14:31 Y'all like it? Y'all like the picture?
1:14:34 Do you like the picture? Mama, am I
1:14:37 pretty? You have nice hair.
1:14:40 Oh, mama.
1:14:42 Um,
1:14:45 quit Photoshop. I think my machine has
1:14:48 crashed. Has crashed.
1:14:50 I'm pretty sure my machine has crashed.
1:14:53 Has crashed. Oh, no it hasn't. Okay.
1:14:59 Where? There we go. That's importing
1:15:03 that.
1:15:07 And this is the new one.
1:15:11 Yes.
1:15:13 With our little curly queue. I love the
1:15:15 little curly queue.
1:15:16 Okay.
1:15:18 Wow. We now have that. Okay. So, now
1:15:21 now.
1:15:25 All right.
1:15:27 Let's go. Let's go to the Gemini. Now,
1:15:31 all that work we did.
1:15:33 Oh, by the way, look at this. Look at
1:15:36 this. I made last night after I left you

1:15:57 Yeah.
1:16:00 Okay. I posted my personal challenge.
1:16:03 I've always loved this image. Oh, the
1:16:05 the uh behind AI. Now we know what it's
1:16:07 called. Behind AI.
1:16:12 Get it? behind AI and I ah and AI ah so
1:16:19 clever so [ __ ] clever okay plus
1:16:23 upload files
1:16:27 behind AI there we go

2:00:48 [Laughter]
2:00:52 Okay.
2:00:54 Anyone still here? No, not really. 18
2:00:57 people chased everyone out. All right.
2:00:59 Listen. Sometimes Sometimes you draw a
2:01:02 crowd. Sometimes you chase them away.
2:01:03 Tonight it was a chase them away crowd.
2:01:05 That's fine. Um,
2:01:08 for those of you still here, think about
2:01:11 think about the work you do and
2:01:16 how often you're excited to share your
2:01:18 work
2:01:20 and if you can start being brave enough
2:01:22 to create work that excites you to
2:01:24 share. That's that's where we want to
2:01:26 get. Okay. So, tomorrow um at 11:00 a.m.
2:01:31 Mountain time is AI office hours, AI
2:01:33 salon office hours. Um I'm going to
2:01:36 announce tomorrow
2:01:39 that
2:01:40 we're actually going to transition the
2:01:43 AI salon third Tuesday of the night meet
2:01:46 and greet is going to just become
2:01:49 the Friday afternoon off office office
2:01:51 hours. So, we're going to kind of
2:01:53 rebrand that um because it's
2:01:55 functionally
2:01:57 working a lot more like a meet and greet
2:02:00 and I like the format better. Um and uh
2:02:06 like like it's become a kind of deacto
2:02:08 mastermind and and I I kind I kind of
2:02:11 like that and I just want to leave it I
2:02:13 want to leave that alone and and kind of
2:02:15 rebrand that for the salon. So, I'm
2:02:17 going to announce that tomorrow. So that
2:02:20 means next Tuesday we don't have an AI
2:02:22 salon meet and greet. Um sounds like
2:02:25 there's some stuff in irregulars. So let
2:02:27 me go check that out.
2:02:30 If you have not joined the AI salon, go
2:02:32 to the community.thesalon.ai.
2:02:38 Nice. Oh, here's uh here's Brandon's
2:02:42 contest entry. All right, let's see what
2:02:43 we got.
2:03:06 LA
2:03:08 YouTube went. Oh, because I didn't share
2:03:10 it right, did I? Ding ding ding. Well,
2:03:12 it's really funny. It's a funny opening
2:03:15 scene.
2:03:21 [Music]
2:03:36 It's a real [ __ ] birthday. What you
2:03:40 trying to do tonight? Don't matter. We
2:03:42 in first place
2:03:46 uh look on my head tonight.
2:03:51 I'm so greedy freaky. Got a big girlite.
2:03:56 >> Nice. That's good. All right. Uh what
2:03:58 else do we have over here? Switch to
2:04:00 this tab instead.
2:04:06 Oh, nice. Who did that? Lori Blair. Very
2:04:09 cool.
2:04:14 That's great.
2:04:16 Kyle's here. Let's get this party
2:04:18 started. That's awesome. Sad hustle
2:04:21 Mimi. That's beautiful. That's nice.
2:04:24 Wow, these are great.
2:04:29 Oh, this is the one I started to ask
2:04:30 myself why I don't like modern art so
2:04:32 much. And then I wondered,
2:04:35 what if I make it? Will I like it? In
2:04:37 this case, I do. Yeah. Mixing the 80s
2:04:40 aesthetic with classical art. That's
2:04:42 very cool. iPhone light, fragile, it
2:04:45 floats. That's funny.
2:04:55 [Music]
2:04:59 Oh, there's real time video. Very cool.
2:05:01 Okay, cool.
2:05:03 Groovy, fantastic job. Tell them what
2:05:06 they've won.
2:05:09 So, tomorrow night is Friday night date
2:05:11 night. It is not a first Friday, so I
2:05:16 shouldn't have any gallery activity
2:05:17 tomorrow night. Uh, so it should be
2:05:19 8:00, but if it changes, I will let
2:05:22 producer Brandon know and he will pass
2:05:24 along the word. But, uh, yeah, but thank
2:05:27 you all for hanging out tonight and, uh,
2:05:29 indulge in me. Peace out. Have a good
2:05:31 one.
