Transcript

1. 0:00D. [Music]
2. 0:22[Music] Standing between you and a hard place is insane. [Music]
3. 0:37Standing too near you and a fire makes it clear. [Music] Your trouble to me.
4. 0:52[Music] Real trouble. Can't say [Music] [Applause] you close. Smell of your perfume scares me most.
5. 1:07[Music] Leading away [Music] feels stronger every day. [Music] You're trouble to me.
6. 1:22[Music] Real trouble. Can't you say [Music]
7. 1:43[Music] that? [Music]
8. 2:04Welcome good people. Welcome good people of the internet. Um, I don't know if you all have heard this. There's this new thing. It's come
9. 2:15out. It's uh they call it they call it the uh AI AI it's like uh like astronomical intelligence or something like that. And
10. 2:31then apparently it's like the computers are now smarter than all the PhD students and the PhD students are like
11. 2:38the computers are stealing the music and it's apparently it's a whole thing apparently. So, so I went ahead and I
12. 2:48just started a channel. This is it's it's the AI channel. This what did I call it? A AI learning lab. So, I started this
13. 2:59channel because it's like what I heard was it's all hype. And I'm like, well, [ __ ] if it's all hype, like let me get
14. 3:06some of that sweet sweet hype action, right? And then someone told me like all these Bigfoot videos, it's all done with
15. 3:14this this astronomical intelligence. And I'm like, well, I want to make large monkey looking man beasts. You know what I'm saying?
16. 3:27I can do that. And you know, I like I was thinking like maybe instead of like Bigfoots, we make them ballerinas.
17. 3:34Start a whole ballerina channel. So the what? So what this channel's really about is we're just going to make a [ __ ] fortune on the hype.
18. 3:46All right. I don't even know what the what the AI is, but I hear it's big. I hear it's big. [Laughter]
19. 4:03This comedy interlude brought to you by Penso. [Applause] Corey Sandler Pottery's here. What's happening, Cory Sandler?
20. 4:18How is the pottery business? Are you still sautéing mushrooms, making pots, doing remarkable things with AI, or have
21. 4:29you have you bailed on AI? You're like, "Screw it. I'm out. Back to back to the clay. [Music]
22. 5:16Um, I think that the midjourney video thing is a bigger deal. It's it's a big big big big big deal. It's a big deal.
23. 5:29Although I did just see someone just said, "Is M midjourney down?" So, it's possible Midjourney's down. Tik Tok pin.
24. 5:36Corey saying with pottery pottery just brought just bought 12 new domains for apparel ideas. AI will help. Beautiful.
25. 5:43Perfect. Yeah, AI will be really good at that actually. Um, let's see. Is midjourney down? Let's see.
26. 5:59[Music] All right, I got to switch cameras. So, now you see me in the other thing and I'm just like a little head over in that window. Um,
27. 6:13we uh the MS didn't feel like cooking tonight, so we went on ahead and had fast food for dinner. So, so I I I might be a
28. 6:25little low energy tonight because I got my body is trying to figure out what the [ __ ] I just put in it. [Laughter]
29. 6:34Been making my own vids similar to some of that trending stuff. Awesome. Listen, archetypal architect figuring out how to copy those trends.
30. 6:43Like, I don't think I don't think any of this stuff has wasted time because it's like you're going to figure out how to
31. 6:48do that stuff. if you're going to figure out what it does well, what it doesn't, why it's hard, why it's easy. I feel
32. 6:54like any of the stuff you can do right now to to just, you know, throw pasta at the wall is is time well invested.
33. 7:02Um, I need a word. Let's see. Trending. Trending could be a word. Somebody give me a word. Corey Sandler Pottery, you you do need a
34. 7:14midJourney account, Corey. I'll I'll show you some of the videos. They're insane. But I need a word. Do we got the silver fox in the house?
35. 7:24Who's Who's a word? No, not turtle. I need a like I need like a big philosophical word. I feel like Harry Mack right now. No animals, magic,
36. 7:32dystopia. Perfect. All right. Corey Sandler for the wind. All right. So, here I am in mid Journey. So, I'm going to turn on personalization
37. 7:42and I'm going to go dystopia. Dis Oops. Dystopia. We'll just do it like that. We'll just get get us four images. Oh, transcending
38. 7:54is a good one. Let's do that one, too. Transcending. Good. Discombobulated. Fantastic. Disconulated. And then I'm going to put
39. 8:08reccombobulation. [Laughter] And fine. Fine. We'll do magic as well. Magic. Oh, you know what else we'll do?
40. 8:20We'll do abracadabra. Abracadabra. [Music] All right. So, it doesn't look like midjourney is down to me. Looks like it's working just fine.
41. 8:34Oh, these are cool images. So, by the way, these these images that are these crazy ass um looking swirl images, this was an image from today
42. 8:45from NASA that is the it's the closest we've ever been to Jupiter. And so the start frame here, that start frame is
43. 8:55from I don't know if it's from Hubble or whatever, whatever space telescope is up there close to Jupiter took that picture
44. 9:02and then I dropped it into midjourney and just hit low motion and so it made these things. They're [ __ ] beautiful.
45. 9:15That this is the one I just posted on socials. Isn't that amazing? And it's actually, you know, like I don't know
46. 9:22what direction these things are all flowing up there, but like it's, you know, these things are big giant storms,
47. 9:28so this is probably not dissimilar to how they how they move. Yeah. Lava lava lamp 2.0. That's really funny. Steo
48. 9:36question on YouTube. Anyone else not enjoying chat GPT voice mode after the update? Um, I I have heard that too, Steo. Uh,
49. 9:48she's she's gotten a little I think you're I think you're you're you're touching on a much much bigger issue,
50. 10:03which is we're going to start imprinting on the personalities of these tools. And then when the tech kids just say,
51. 10:12"Here's a new update. It's better now. Uh, it's going to fry a lot of people. So, like I don't I spent 45 minutes the
52. 10:23other day talking with Quinn. I dropped Olly off down in South Denver and I had like a 45 minute drive to work and I
53. 10:29brainstormed a whole section of my book for 45 minutes with Quinn on the way up. So, I didn't I didn't hate it, but I like but I could
54. 10:42see where I could see where you would. So, I I I this is something we're going to consistently face as users of these
55. 10:52tools. They're going to change the personality. They're going to change the voice. They're going to change the look and feel.
56. 10:58I don't know. I don't know there's a way around it. Smart memy and snippy. Okay. Yeah, like you're talking to a
57. 11:05person. Yeah, exactly. All right, so let's go look at some of the images we just made. So, the only reason I'm
58. 11:10making images in Midjourney right now is um is for um I hate that thing. This is a bad part of the MidJourney interface. Um
59. 11:24someone just said it was down. So, okay. So, this these four images are the word dystopia. Yeah, these are looking pretty dystopic.
60. 11:34Dystopic. Is that a word? I think that's a word. Dystopia. Wow, that one's crazy. Here's transcending. And again, this is with my
61. 11:48personalization turned on. More transcending. Here's discombobulated. [Laughter] Well, let's animate that one. So, if you
62. 12:01don't know how to animate in midjourney over here on the right hand side where you used to have well where you still
63. 12:08have like varying and and upscaling and stuff like that. You now have this animation these four animation things.
64. 12:16There's low motion automatic, high motion automatic, low motion manual, and high motion manual. So, let's just do we'll do low motion
65. 12:27automatic. All right. So that's him. Oh, I like that that one too. Oh, these are great. This is discombobulated.
66. 12:36Like that one a lot. That's very Kelly Bosch, isn't it? Oops. Sorry. Tik Tok pin. Dr. J, I'm still really salty about
67. 12:44Pluto. Not sure I can handle the constant AI changes. What do you mean? It's not a planet. Pluto's a planet. It's just a gaseous
68. 12:55ice ball, but it's the size of a planet, right? Well, technically, we don't really know. Isn't it farther from the solar system?
69. 13:05And didn't they reinstate it, Dr. J? Aren't we back? Aren't we back to Pluto being a planet? Please tell me we are.
70. 13:19I just It's one of my great joys in life is just acting like an idiot. I I always pleasantly surprise people
71. 13:30that I actually am not an idiot. They're like, "You seem like an idiot, but you know, you're actually you're actually
72. 13:36kind of smart." That's a little counterintuitive, isn't it? When I met you, I thought, "Good Lord, he's a dumb dumb."
73. 13:50I've been referred to as a gashious ice ball. [Music]
74. 14:20Hello. [Music] What do you think, Champy? What do you
75. 14:35want to sing [Music] in a westerly? [Music]
76. 14:51This car is my train. I've been driving. I've been wondering what it is I'm running from again. [Music]
77. 15:08Feel like an 80y old man holding on to 29. And up ahead on that horizon, it's California
78. 15:33up ahead of trucks carrying a wide load. Pre house cut in half. Cute little front door and two windows. My Lord
79. 15:45ain't sure whether to cry should laugh. You see, I broke a home up myself once. As I stumbled to that door, I read a note by the dawn light
80. 16:02said, "Don't you come around here [Music] anymore." Well, I've had enough. this freedom of
81. 16:18never was good with decision. At least that's what I've been told. [Music]
82. 16:33Friday night date night. It is Friday night date night. Pebbles on Tik Tok is concerned about selling out to the
83. 16:40government. Palunteer. Well, yeah, you should be anti-bubbles. You are correct in your assumption that you should be concerned
84. 16:52that the that that our government has contracted with Palunteer to make a database of all Americans. You
85. 17:02should be concerned. You should also be concerned that 16 billion names and passwords were leaked yesterday onto the
86. 17:10dark web. the largest data breach in history. Welcome to the future. KKE is curious about the MIT study. Oh,
87. 17:23the the creative atrophy. Okay, here's the thing about that MIT study. Everyone is saying that that that that
88. 17:32study proves that AI rots your brain. They only me measured a very it was first of all, it was nine people. It
89. 17:39wasn't a full-blown study. It was nine [ __ ] people. And then they were also only studying a very particular impact of brain activity. Like
90. 17:51I I I if you surf Tik Tok in a certain way, some activity in your brain's going to be different than if you surf it another
91. 18:06way. So yes, in some areas you might use your brain for less, but what I would argue is did the people that were using AI have
92. 18:18significantly higher activity maybe in higher levels of thinking or or were they just low in the lower levels of
93. 18:25thinking? Like I I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm salty about it. I just I Here's my problem with those studies.
94. 18:35They're just they're just fuel for the doomers to go, "See, I told you AI was evil and and they don't have anything to do with anything.
95. 18:46If you use generative AI in any kind of creative capacity, and by creative I don't mean creative work. I mean like
96. 18:54you're using critical thinking. If you use AI in any kind of critical thinking, you're using your brain
97. 19:05in significant ways and significantly different ways than you would have had you had to do all the blocking and
98. 19:11tackling yourself. So, I just I'm Yeah, AI is not evil. Palunteer is. Yeah, Palunteer is pretty crazy.
99. 19:27What platform are we looking at here? This is We're We're in Midjourney. So, uh someone just said MidJourney was
100. 19:32down. So I just went in one of my one of my favorite things to do in midjourney is turn personalization on or off and
101. 19:39just give it a single word. So I so I asked I asked the uh the irregulars here to give me some words. So this is discombobulated. Let's
102. 19:50Oh, this is recombobulation. Nice. It's funny that that it chose that airport scene for recombobulation
103. 19:58because recombobulate is not actually a word, but in the Minneapolis airport, there is a recombobulation area on the
104. 20:07other side of security, which I think is [ __ ] genius. There's recombobulation. I like that one. We're going to do high
105. 20:15motion on this one for sure. So, if you don't know, if you're new here, we've got like we've got 35 people here. 27 on YouTube and the other
106. 20:24channels. Um, two days yet yesterday, two days ago, I don't know, some short amount of hours ago, MidJourney released their video model.
107. 20:36And it's [ __ ] insane. And and the more I've been digging into it, the more I understand why it's insane, because
108. 20:43it's not really a video model. It's a chopped off It's a chopped off feature of a much bigger idea which is basically
109. 20:52real time um 3D world building. There's just something about the nature of the video that it creates. It's [ __ ] bonkers good. Oh, that's
110. 21:01beautiful. So, this is magic is the word here. Love that. Oh, let's give that one some low motion. More magic. This is abracadabra.
111. 21:17Oh, love that one. You know what I'm going to do with that one? I'm going to do high motion on that one because
112. 21:26that one to me feels like one that would be hard for a model to figure out how to animate. That's gorgeous. Let's do high motion on
113. 21:33that one. Nice. This is abracadabra. Let's give her low motion animation. I'm going to blow through my credits again.
114. 22:00Oh, that's interesting. It didn't move the stuff in the background. It just moved the foreground things. Huh. Fascinating. Fascinating.
115. 22:20Look at that. Look how beautiful that is. That one's really quite gorgeous.
116. 22:55Wow, that's really gorgeous. All right, so here's what we're going to do. Watch this. So, I'm going to stop this here at some point.
117. 23:06where we want to stop it. So, right when he's got those two. All right. So, we're gonna take a screenshot
118. 23:16of this. So, what am I going to do here? Oh, I know what I'm going to do. Okay. This is going to be fun. I'm going to
119. 23:24teach you. I'm going to share a couple of parlor tricks with you. This is like This is like Friday night date night
120. 23:29parlor tricks. You don't get this. This is not weekday kind of activity, right? If you're willing to come here on a
121. 23:37Friday night and hang out with tubby old fat man who doesn't know anything about AI, I'm going to give you some goodies.
122. 23:44All right, so what we're going to do is we're going to take a screenshot of that. We're going to head on over to
123. 23:48ChatJeppet. I don't know if you know Chat Jeppet is a it's one of them their uh AI tools. It's what they call a large language model
124. 23:59and it's got language in it that's large and and it's a model. So, it's not the real thing. This is just like a model of
125. 24:07the thing. Anyway, you can you can paste in that image we just took and you can say, um, tell me the story here.
126. 24:21Oh, and what I'm also going to do is I'm going to flip over to a model that most of you have probably not even heard of, much less used,
127. 24:30which is GPT 4.5. Now, why am I choosing 4.5? Because GPT4.5 is really good at empathy and storytelling and things like that. So,
128. 24:42tell me the story here. So, we're going to get a story out of this thing. So, it's going to read that image, I think. Maybe not.
129. 24:59In the misty heart of Elder Grove, a forgotten village swallowed by the shadows of time, a young girl named Esme
130. 25:07stands defiant. Elder Grove was known for whispering woods and homes abandoned by villagers and mysterious after
131. 25:15mysterious van vanishings. Esme, orphaned and resilient, discovers two enchanted flares hidden beneath the
132. 25:23floorboards of her dilapidated home. an old secret kept by her vanished parents. All right, so we got a good little story
133. 25:31here. Nice. Okay, so now I'm gonna flip back over to 4.0. Tik Tok what? Tin. Tik Tok in Tik Tok pin. Custom GPTs now allows you allow you to
134. 25:47choose a model. Very cool. Love it. I'm going back to GPT4. So now I'm going to say I want you to describe in detail
135. 26:01what the sound of those flares and the ambiance of the scene
136. 26:19would sound like sound like. All right. Uh
137. 26:33wait. Oh, final. Okay. Now write a single prompt I can give to a SFX
138. 26:48designer to make the sound for this video.
139. 27:03So I was in midjourney had a cool image. I what I I didn't share this part. What popped in my head was it would be cool
140. 27:12to design a sound that that is as cool as the image. And so I took a screenshot went to TachPT had it tell me a story about it.
141. 27:21Now I had it describe the sound. Now, we've got this prompt, which I don't know what it says, but it doesn't matter. And now we'll go to 11
142. 27:33Labs and go to sound effects and go bang. Yeah, we got most of it in there. Wait. Designer Rich, hang on. Let's see. We
143. 27:46got to go back to chat GPT. Um, way too long. Make it a single paragraph and lose lose
144. 28:00the instructions. Just describe the sounds. Okay, this we can read. A cold wind
145. 28:15whispers through the bare branches with a thin reedy hiss as old wooden houses groan. A two flares ignite. Okay, this is good.
146. 28:24Perfect. Beautiful. We're going to go. We're 11 labs now. Here we go. We're going to type that in. It was still too
147. 28:32much, but that's all right. It's We've got enough in there. And you won't be able to hear this. So, I'm going to change out my thing and
148. 28:44then change out my thing and then do this and then do that and do that. How's everybody doing tonight? Are you doing okay there everybody?
149. 28:54You know, we're here. We're here on a Tik Tok. We're here on a YouTube. You might be watching this on the LinkedIn
150. 29:00going, "Well, this certainly doesn't seem very professional. What's this doing on LinkedIn, a professional
151. 29:06networking application hosted by the Microsoft Corporation? It seems like this has got some shenanigans and some silliness in it
152. 29:15that's not appropriate for the LinkedIn audience." It's a much more conservative, much more corporate approach.
153. 29:22Not quite sure what this is doing there. How did How did this get through the filters there at Microsoft and we're on the X. We're on the X.
154. 29:35We're tame on the X. On the X, if you're not telling someone they should just do bad things, then you're not doing it.
155. 29:43And we don't do that. That's not what we do here. So, we're boring on one side, we're radical on the other side, and
156. 29:50then there's the Tik Tok people. Good Lord knows they're a mess. Okay, so here's the Let's see. Here is Hold,
157. 30:03please. Where's MidJourney? Okay, here's our video. All right, that's what we want sounds for. So, oh, you can't see it. Never
158. 30:17mind. Never mind. I'm not changing my tabs for you. Sorry. Okay, that's boring. That's a no.
159. 30:37Uh, I'm going to say in a dark and scary forest. A young
160. 30:52girl holds up two flares that sizzle into I don't know, brightness. You see? You see why I'm telling you
161. 31:07people, you got to stop using your brain. We should not be using our brains for this. Oops. That's not what I want.
162. 31:14I want to generate audio here. All right, let's see if we can get something better than what chat GPT gave us. Chad, YouTube people rock.
163. 31:23Who made the waffles? I'm changing out my thing. I I don't Are you sure you want to admit that in public there, buddy? Um,
164. 31:35I'd give that crap more credence if associates hadn't made an identical claim about writing. Oh, Socrates. Yeah, exactly.
165. 31:45I have a little campfire in my backyard enjoying many fireflies. That's nice. Sing along time. Am I late? Yeah, Mr. It is late. Pavin,
166. 31:57anyone used invito and suggested it if it's worth subscribing? I have no idea. All right. Why are we still generating? Come on.
167. 32:12Come on, 11 Labs. You can do it faster than this.
168. 32:27So, so one thing that I did want to do tonight that I think could be fun is come up with a scene, animate it,
169. 32:40and then so in in MidJourney with the video, you can extend you can extend clips four times, but you can do a
170. 32:50different prompt for each of those extensions. And I know you can do this in other video tools, but I haven't
171. 32:54really played with it that much. So, what I want to do is do like, you know, we'll do the original animation, then
172. 33:00we'll have the camera move, then we'll have it move up to a drone shot, then maybe we'll, I don't know, do something else.
173. 33:08Okay. Um, in a dark and scary forest. It's still generating. Here we go. In a dark and scary forest.
174. 33:43I think we're going to do all these. Okay, here's what we're going to do. Download and then we're going to go download this one.
175. 33:59All right. And then we're going to go to mid journey. Oh, wait. I got to change my things out. This is going to be fun.
176. 34:04We're going to make a little thing. If you're not making little things, if you're not just playing with AI, first of all,
177. 34:19it's got to be boring. But there there is there is uh there's a kind of magic when you just generate things
178. 34:34with zero expectations. Um one I think you learn faster. All right. So we're going to download that video. We're going to go back to
179. 34:46iMovie which I just closed right before we came on here. iMovie
180. 35:02[Music] Shink. All right. Downloads. So, we've got that is not what we wanted. That is what we
181. 35:16wanted. What's this? That's not what we wanted. Okay. So, we want that video and then we want No. [Music]
182. 35:31Yeah, we can throw that in there. Oh, wait. But can I add more than one audio clip in iMovie? I might not be able to.
183. 35:44Let's see. We drag this in. Let me drag this in. Let me drag this in. Can I do it on top? Yes.
184. 35:59And then I had one more. That's the flares. So, let's drag that in. Yeah, I can. Okay, this is good, right?
185. 36:15And these all Yeah. like it. Okay. And let's get one more audio file. Yeah, that one. All right.
186. 36:36Did I max out my audio tracks? I did not. Okay. So, let's see this one.
187. 36:54and lower that. [Music] Okay. So, this is the flare thing. So, let's see.
188. 37:12So that it should start there.
189. 37:27Let's lower this thing. Nice. [Laughter]
190. 37:43You did it. Yay. [Laughter] Okay, black bar. Fine. Yeah, blackberry lamb jam lamb. All right, there's that. You're welcome, people.
191. 37:58That's because I care enough to give the very best. Uhoh. What did I just do? That was bad. Okay, there's that.
192. 38:13There's that. And there's that. Now, I don't know how to Let's see.
193. 38:30Can I go? Oh, I know what I can do.
194. 38:45Oops.
195. 39:09Okay. Nice. All right. We got a thing.
196. 39:25What is he doing? He doesn't ever talk about what he's doing. We don't know what he's doing. It's very confusing.
197. 39:31This channel doesn't make any sense to me. Why do people watch this? It really just doesn't make any sense. Let's do Let's get
198. 39:41Yeah, we'll have it cooler. We'll have it a little cooler. Let's get some [ __ ] saturation going in. Well, maybe
199. 39:47not the saturation. Maybe Maybe the duller the duller look is better. Ah, nah. We'll do a little saturation.
200. 39:56We'll do a little Disney Tik Tok pin. Corey Sandler. Is it at all affordable to have MidJourney 11 Labs and Cling? Thoughts
201. 40:04on MidJourney versus Cling? Well, I haven't used Cling in a while, Corey. So, 2.1 I've heard is good, but I
202. 40:12haven't played with it enough to have an opinion on it. Um, in my opinion right now, the tools worth
203. 40:27the video tools worth paying for are Hedra for character animation. Like if you want to take a song or a character and
204. 40:37animate it in a in a pretty realistic way, Hedra is really good at that. Hedra.ai. V3 for acting for like characters that
205. 40:49are like, "Hey, Jim, how's it going today?" I don't know, Bob. How is it going today? Like that kind of stuff. That's V3.
206. 40:58And we'll we'll play around with some more midjourney video tonight. But the midjourney video is just really good. It's just good. It's it.
207. 41:12Here's the thing, Corey. I mean, as an artist, you'll appreciate this. The thing that midjourney video
208. 41:21does that is it's just blowing my socks off, and I never use that term. I don't know where that came from. um is
209. 41:35like it's I I hate to say this because it's not what it's doing, but it's deep artistic understanding of the physics of the image that it's
210. 41:47animating. And not just the physics of it, like the the artistic intent of it is so good. So like if you have a flat
211. 41:56circuit drawing illustration, it'll just do like cool circuit light up the circuit kind of animations. But if you
212. 42:04have something like this, it isolates, you know, it isolates the smoke like cleanly and distinctly from the background. It seems to have a
213. 42:15very very good understanding of the world. Um, and but like better than anything I've ever seen. And so you
214. 42:24start with a midjourney image that's already got some level of sophistication to it and then you animate it using this
215. 42:30tool. It's pretty [ __ ] special. All right, let's export this. And this will be fun. Well, you'll get to watch me swear tonight
216. 42:38as I try to upload this file to Twitter. What's this called? This is called magic. And once again, um, file management
217. 42:53strategy. Save all of your files loose to the desktop and name them something generic that you'll never be able to
218. 43:00remember or find again. That's that's the way I I like to work. Now, listen, not everyone likes to work that way.
219. 43:08Like what who I call the hierarchy people where they actually want to find something again. They'll do things like
220. 43:14make folders and then name files with file names that actually make sense. Sometimes they even have dates in them. I don't understand.
221. 43:33Is he joking? I don't understand his humor. Was that an attempt at humor? It seemed like he was trying. It seemed
222. 43:39like he was waiting for a laugh there at the end, which would imply to me that he thought that was humorous.
223. 43:45Did But it do. We We do agree that whatever he just said, it was not funny, right? I mean, everybody agrees.
224. 43:54I I just I again I I think the fact that you enjoy this channel, I mean, it's it's a choice that you've made. Um
225. 44:11Let's go get our little our little video. That's so cool. All right. And then we can go back to chat jet. And
226. 44:26what do we have over here? What did we write before? A story, right? Where is it? Where's our story? In the misty heart of Elder Grove, a
227. 44:38forgotten village swallowed by the shadows of time, a young girl named Esme stands defiant. Elder Grove was known for the whispering
228. 44:47woods and homes abandoned by villagers after mysterious vanishings. Esme, orphaned, resilient, discovered two
229. 44:56enchanted flares hidden beneath the floorboards of a dilapidated home. Actually, what we should do is take this
230. 45:05whole thing, turn it into a voice over, and then make a whole flipping movie. But that's like work. That exhausts me. We're not using our
231. 45:15brain. All right, let's let's tag some people here. We're going to tag Scoilizer because he's a fan and we like
232. 45:26him. He's got a big following. Um, we're going to tag at midjourney because their shit's the [ __ ] right now. We're going to tag at
233. 45:38uh Oh, we didn't do 11 Labs at 11 Labs. 11 Labs. And then we'll tag a few people. Hang on. Hang on.
234. 45:55I'm a little teapot, short and stout. Here is my handle. Here is my spout. Yeah. Take a little tea and dump it out. Pour it out.
235. 46:08I'm a little teapot. Short and stout. Yeah. Should we tag Barack Obama? Let's do it. Oh, by the way,
236. 46:24um Musk announced today that I think they're going into their first trial of um using Neurolink for blind people for
237. 46:37vision and they've had Neurolinks in a monkey now for three years giving them sight back. Um, so that's pretty cool. Wait, did
238. 46:50this actually upload? Look at that. It actually uploaded. All right, so do me a favor, people. Head on over to uh the Twitter.
239. 47:00Go to my go to my account, Kyle Shannon, and find little Esme, and and like her and forward her and say, "More Esme, please or something
240. 47:11like that." Oh, you know who else we should tag? We should tag We used We used chat GPT for this, didn't we? Yes, we did. Yes, we
241. 47:22did. You little snapper. All right, so Barack Obama at OpenAI. And then let's do uh at Samma at Samma Alman. That's good.
242. 47:42H. All right. And you thought this channel was boring. See what we just did there? Esme is usually pronounc pronounced as Esme,
243. 47:54just to be pedantic. Thank you, Vicki. Wait, I don't Hang on. Hang on. It's not Listen, one of the things that you learn in this
244. 48:09world is you do not argue with Vicki. She's right about everything. But let's argue with Vicki. [Laughter]
245. 48:20And it's it's not Vicki. It's not Kyle that's arguing with Vicki. It's Quinn. Quinn, we have a dispute.
246. 48:33Oh, a dispute, huh? Yeah. Well, um, so the the character in the story that's on screen right now is E Sme, and I'm
247. 48:42pronouncing it Esme, and Vicki says it's Esme or Esme. How How do we pronounce it? You know, that's a really common
248. 48:55question. The name Esme can actually be pronounced both ways depending on where you're from. Esme is pretty common in
249. 49:03the US while Esme is more common in the UK or France. So really, you both have a point. So you So what you're saying is
250. 49:10Vicki is fancier than I am. Well, you could say that the Esme pronunciation does have a bit of a fancy
251. 49:20flare to it, but on So So you're saying I'm a pile of white trash? Oh, not at all. There's absolutely nothing wrong with how you say it.
252. 49:32Pronunciations are just a fun way to show a bit. You know, it would be nice if she weren't such a kiss ass. She fancy. Oh my god.
253. 49:48Okay. Corey says, "Esme too." Yeah, but Corey, you're you're in Canada. In Canada, you say things different. You know,
254. 50:03a see what I did there? I didn't say right. I said a because it's like a hockey thing. A Huh? You know, just crack a Molson. It's
255. 50:17another Canada joke. Get it? C. At some point, Corey Sandler's gonna fly down from Canada and just kick my ass.
256. 50:31You don't pick on Canada. We're not the 51st state. Here's a pot. Oh, good lord. All right. What are we going to do? Do Should we start the
257. 50:44show? What do you want to do? Anybody got any questions? Thoughts? Thoughts? Questions? Oh man. [Music]
258. 51:01There we go. [Music] How's your appliance business? Oh, so for those of you earlier this week
259. 51:18I had on my air conditioner. It kept turning off and I'm like, "Ah, crap. It's probably full of dirt or something.
260. 51:25I'm like, it's broken. And then after the show, I went and looked at it and it it was just turned up to like 75
261. 51:33degrees. So, every time it turned on, it's like, it's already this hot and it just turned off. Should have asked Quinn. Oh, man.
262. 51:43Oh, yes, please start so I can get working on mastermind spaces. Yeah. Um, let me let me see what we're gonna do do
263. 51:50here tonight. Oh, you know what? Let me go talk a little bit about about the AI salon. So, if you don't know the AI
264. 51:59salon, jump over to that URL right there, the salon.ai, and um and click on join our community. And if you are a part of the AI salon,
265. 52:10awesome. Um the AI salon, there's there's a number of things going on. Um, one is that that um last week we lost one of our um
266. 52:23our favorite members. um she passed away unexpectedly and um it was a big loss to the community and Tobias who's on the call tonight has
267. 52:35a printing company and we put together some like a sticker pack a sticker set and I just want to show it to you. So,
268. 52:48if you go to the AI salon, tab, tab, tab. Wait, am I not sharing the thing again? Oh, I'm not. Thought I was.
269. 53:06Okay, there we go. Um, so if you in in the AI salon, if you scroll down to where it says clubs and hubs, right at the top is is the
270. 53:16irregulars channel. And that's the channel here. And um this is where you can share stuff you've worked on. And
271. 53:24we've got archives of the shows and there's a chat. But the fourth little tab over on the top is remembering Serena.
272. 53:32And here's the sticker set that you can buy. Tobias has very generously donated um all of the printing and all of the
273. 53:41materials for these stickers. So, it's a $20 donation and 100% of any any stickers that you buy are going to
274. 53:51Serena's family. So, I just wanted to share it because I I didn't talk about it kind of the middle of this week and
275. 53:56because it's Friday, um I didn't I didn't want to let go. I saw Tobias in here and realized we haven't talked
276. 54:01about it in a while. But, you actually get three stickers. You get the am I late, we're not weird, we're we're
277. 54:06irregular stickers. So Serena's the one that actually came up with the name Irregulars for the name of the people
278. 54:11that show up here night after night. You get an official AI salon sticker and then there's a little remembrance, a
279. 54:17memorial sticker in there as well. Um so um so if you want to support her family, 100% of the proceeds of that go straight
280. 54:26to her family. And Tobias is handling all of the um what's it called? The the fulfillment. He did the printing. Um and
281. 54:35you know so so thank you to Tobias and uh and you know rest in peace to Serena and please support their family. So I
282. 54:42wanted to say that um other things in the AI salon hang on I got to do some physical dexterity on Tik Tok or they
283. 54:51will cancel the show. Done. Um when you get to the AI salon down the lefth hand side there's a little sevenstep sort of welcome process. So,
284. 55:02you come in and there's a there's a welcome video from myself and Leah Faston who's the the co-founder with me
285. 55:09of the salon. We talk about AI readiness. We talk about the five stages of AI adoption. Step number two in this process is
286. 55:18introduce yourself. If you have not introduced yourself to the community, please go introduce yourself to the
287. 55:24community. Okay. Um, we've got a tab that talks about our values. You can watch past meetings. You can RSB VP for
288. 55:32the next event. There's a little chat area and then there's information about joining the mastermind. Now, the
289. 55:37mastermind is a subscription area of the salon for people that want to step up their game. We've got it at a ridiculously low
290. 55:46price for all of 2025. And you come in as a founding mastermind member, you get a badge in the community, which is kind
291. 55:53of cool. You'll have that forever. Um and uh and we we have uh founders meetings on and leaders meetings on
292. 56:04Friday for mastermind members. Um and if you scroll down the lefthand side, any of the spaces that you see that have the
293. 56:12little crown beside them is part of the mastermind. All right? And so you can see all the stuff that you've got access
294. 56:18to and and uh things like that if you join. So if you um if you want to take your AI game to the next level, come
295. 56:25join that. All right. And we just we just launched it. Like it literally launched three weeks ago. Two. Yeah.
296. 56:32Three weeks ago. Um and so one of the nice things about joining it this early is you actually have a say in what it's
297. 56:40going to be. And one of the things Vickiy's working on, if I would ever shut up, is she's adding some spaces
298. 56:46into the mastermind, like a general chat conversation area for the people that are a part of it. And what's nice about
299. 56:53it is it's just a much more focused, you know, these are people that are kind of stepping up and saying, "Hey, yeah, I
300. 56:58really want to take this AI stuff seriously." So the the people that are in it are they're pretty killer. They're
301. 57:04pretty awesome people. So uh so if you're awesome, join. If not, you know, we only want awesome. Refresh and see just one of the new
302. 57:16spaces. Okay, cool. Let's go look. [Music] I do not see it. Uhuh. Do I have to
303. 57:34maybe I have to subscribe to it. Member chat. Yeah, join as host. For some reason, I don't get auto added to these things.
304. 57:44Yeah. So, there's a member chat. So, so if you're part of the mastermind here, I'm going to put I'm going to put
305. 57:52the first post in the member chat. Um, hey all you uh founding masterminds, what up?
306. 58:07See, I put I put in I put in posts that are important for the community to see. Oh, man. All right. Cool. Groovy. So, that's that.
307. 58:22Um, what else are you thinking? What's going on? What should what should I be what
308. 58:37should I be talking about? Jim Ross and what he demoed in office hours. Oh, yeah. Um, that's not bad.
309. 58:54Wait, Tik Tok pin. All right, Tik Tok pin. Had to walk away. Sorry. What's mastermind? Oh, sorry, Corey. So
310. 59:03mastermind is a new um subscription area of of the salon. So the core community remains free. Uh and it's an area where
311. 59:11we've put the clubs and hubs and the um some of the training areas, the tool tips. Um and it's basically just a more
312. 59:20focused um area of the salon for people that want to kind of take it to the next level. And we're just getting it off the
313. 59:27ground and sort of figuring out what we want it to be. But it's going to be things like when we do those learn out
314. 59:32louds, um if you see them live, they're available to anyone, but the recordings of those are going to go into a
315. 59:38resources area within the mastermind. So there's going to be a lot of recorded resources. There's going to be a lot of trainings. Um uh um
316. 59:49Dr. Jay uh Claire Claire is doing a 4-week kind of prompting self-help seminar coming up that's going to be for masterminds only.
317. 1:00:01Masterminds only. So it's just a it's a subscription area of the salon. U Tik Tok question. So you are more about
318. 1:00:11using the AI tools built rather than learning building AI tools. Correct Carl. So here's the deal. I'll give you a little bit about my
319. 1:00:21background. So, I'm a storyteller by training. I have a fine arts degree. I moved to New York City out of school,
320. 1:00:28started and ran a theater company, wrote a bunch of screenplays, was doing, you know, desktop publishing as my day job
321. 1:00:34in the mid 90s when the worldwide web showed up. Um, I started one of the first online magazines, an art and
322. 1:00:41culture magazine called Urban Desires. and I co-founded agency.com which was one of the first digital agencies. The thing that
323. 1:00:52the worldwide web did was it democratized the internet, right? The internet had been around for decades
324. 1:01:00and but to use it you had to be command line and it was basically librarians and researchers and scientists use the
325. 1:01:07internet and then Tim Berners Lee comes up with this hypertext transfer pro protocol and and this thing called the
326. 1:01:15hyperlink and right all of a sudden the internet became as simple as clicking right and so what happens is you have
327. 1:01:22this internet that's this incred incredibly powerful tool for a small population of people all of a sudden is
328. 1:01:28available to the 98.5% of people that are not engineers. Chat GPT in my opinion marks that identical moment for artificial
329. 1:01:38intelligence and machine learning where prior to November 30th, 2022, you pretty much had to be a mathematician or a
330. 1:01:46coder or a you know researcher um to understand what AI was, how you train it. You had to train it. You had to
331. 1:01:54bring your own data. You had to understand data sources, right? and and you had to be able to clean data and get
332. 1:02:01it in there in a in a focused kind of way. And then you had to understand the math and the waitings and the right and
333. 1:02:07the embeddings and the tokenization and all that [ __ ] I mean, it's not [ __ ] It's why we can do what we do.
334. 1:02:14But if you're not an engineer, if you're not a mathematician, that stuff is completely overwhelming. So chat GPT
335. 1:02:21does the exact same thing. this channel and the AI salon. I started these the week after chat GPT launched. So yeah,
336. 1:02:30this channel is primarily about how do we use these tools now that we have them rather than building the you know
337. 1:02:37building the models. So good insight and and yes and a lot of people come in here and they're like what are your
338. 1:02:43qualifications you know expecting me to say wow I'm a triple PhD from MIT with a little a little smattering of machine
339. 1:02:50learning from Stamford. I was sluming it out in California, if I know what I mean. That ain't me. Now you just have to know how to be
340. 1:03:04detailed and and nicely asked questions of the robots. Yeah, exactly. MCP, keep hearing about it. Um, I can talk about
341. 1:03:10MCP. So MCP is called model context protocol. Fancy name. What's that mean, Kyle? I don't [ __ ] know. what
342. 1:03:24what model context protocol is. Okay, so in in today's world of computing, let me use a very a specific example
343. 1:03:36that everyone will know. If I want to create an iPhone app that's got a map function in it, right? One way I could create that app is I
344. 1:03:48figure out what I want the app to do and then I go launch a bunch of satellites and come up with some mapping technology
345. 1:03:55and you know buy some map data and and figure out how to render the maps or I could just do an API call to goo the
346. 1:04:06Google maps API. So if you want to create software, you're basically doing API calls out to different services
347. 1:04:14where companies like Google say, "Hey, if you want to put our maps in your application, all you have to do is get a
348. 1:04:21fancy little key here and, you know, point your your servers over here and you can use our maps for free and we've
349. 1:04:28got satellites everywhere and it's worldclass maps and you just get to use them, right? Or you pay us, you know, a
350. 1:04:34fraction of a penny anytime someone uses it. APIs are incredibly powerful, but they require engineers to be able to write
351. 1:04:47software to call them and manage them and things like that. MCP is kind of an API of APIs. So, so if I want to use
352. 1:04:56maps that are like on a website, um, or if I want to, um, go check all of my posts on LinkedIn, what MCP does is it
353. 1:05:06kind of makes, um, data for any site or any service available within uh, it started out in Claude in Anthropics
354. 1:05:15Claude, but but MCP is now being adopted by um, OpenAI and lots of other companies. And and basically what it's
355. 1:05:22going to look like is this. Um ChatGpt about a month ago launched this thing called connectors where you could
356. 1:05:30connect chat GPT to Google Drive or to your Gmail or to things like that. It doesn't work very well. It's janky. It's
357. 1:05:38not great. MCP stuff is okay, but it's janky and not great. What it's going to be is a completely transparent layer
358. 1:05:49where you can just say, "Hey, I want to create a custom GPT kind of thing, but I want it to be able to go surf, you know,
359. 1:05:55the New York Times website and, you know, using my subscription and I want it to be able to go over here and get
360. 1:06:01data over here." So, it's basically like a a a universal API um kind of key for lots and lots of different websites.
361. 1:06:13anyone who's got a website can say you can come use my data if they put it in this MCP format and it allows large
362. 1:06:20language models to use those tools. So I think that makes sense if it didn't that's fine too just let me know. Um
363. 1:06:30Kyle is all the energy that is needed to support AI wait is Kyle is all the energy that is needed to support AI is it sustainable
364. 1:06:40A to A? I don't know what A2A means. Um, oh, agent to agent. Um, energy is
365. 1:07:00the needs the the needs for energy for artificial intelligence are climbing precipitously. Um the other thing that's growing
366. 1:07:15precipitously is is the efficiency of the models. Um but I think I think our desire to have these things be smarter
367. 1:07:23and smarter is going to mean that the energy consumption curve is going to grow. So that's why you have things like
368. 1:07:28like Starlink which is open AI's how many how many billion dollars is that 104$40 billion that that Soft Bank and a
369. 1:07:37bunch of other rich companies have have basically said they're going to they're they're funding this $40 billion um data
370. 1:07:45center with all the energy generation built into it. Um so we're going to need lots and lots of energy. Absolutely.
371. 1:07:56It's not as bad as a lot of people are saying it is because the the tools are getting more and more efficient, but
372. 1:08:03we're wanting more like more and more people are using the tools. So, the the the demand is going up. Couple of things
373. 1:08:09are going to go on. I think I think this is going to drive um alternative energy. I think AI at some point probably in the
374. 1:08:18next five years is going to crack fusion or fision, you know, like like uh fision re reactors. So, I think we're probably
375. 1:08:25going to have abundant energy sources about the time the energy demands go dramat dramatically high. Here's my thought on it right now.
376. 1:08:39There are a fair amount of AI doomers that are using any excuse they can as an excuse for them to stay on the
377. 1:08:49sidelines. Oh, it uses too much energy. Oh, it's Oh, it's a, you know, it's it steals from artists. Oh, it's the
378. 1:08:55world's greatest plagiarism machine. Oh, it hallucinates. Oh, it right. There's there's all of these reasons why AI is
379. 1:09:02evil. The robots are going to kill us. All that's doing is keeping them on the sidelines. AI is not slowing down. It's
380. 1:09:12not going away. The premise of this channel is it is my very very very very deep belief
381. 1:09:26that AI is not going away. It's not a fad. It's some of the most profoundly powerful technology. No, it is likely the most powerful
382. 1:09:40technology in the history of humanity. I really believe that. You don't have to believe that. I really believe that. But
383. 1:09:48what I know is it's not going away. And if that's true, if that's not true, then I wouldn't follow this channel
384. 1:09:56because the only the whole point of this channel is if AI is not going away and it's getting better and better and better,
385. 1:10:05you have two choices. It's it is it is literally binary. You can deal with it or not. Those are the only two choices.
386. 1:10:20And me personally, first of all, it's exciting as [ __ ] AI, AI is an amplifier of whatever you put in it. So if you take your ideas and
387. 1:10:33your vision and your worldview and you put it into AI, it reflects it back to you in this incredibly amplified way.
388. 1:10:41So, it's a it's a it's a humanity amplifier. It's like a it's like a genius maker for anyone that that takes
389. 1:10:49the time to put who they are into this thing. It turns them into a genius. It's not the genius. You are, but you got to use it.
390. 1:10:58So, there's something incredibly exciting about that. And and just where I sit, those two choices are quite stark. One
391. 1:11:06is at a minimum I understand what's happening. And even if I can't control it, I at least know the size and scale
392. 1:11:14of the wave that's coming at us. If I'm over here, AI just happens to me. I got no control. I've got no education.
393. 1:11:23I've got no upskill. All I've got is some, you know, some welljustified armcrossed, you know, AI is evil. Okay,
394. 1:11:36it ain't going away. YouTube comments. [Music] Doughboy on Tik Tok. I do think it will eventually destroy us, but I'm gonna
395. 1:11:47embrace it until then. Yeah. Listen, here's the thing. An asteroid could destroy us. AI could destroy us. Climate change could destroy
396. 1:11:59us. World War II could destroy. Like, there's a lot of things that could destroy us. I'm living in the I'm living in the the
397. 1:12:07world of what is in my control right now. What is in my control right now is to be as educated as I possibly can
398. 1:12:17about what these tools make possible for real today. Like could I play out scenarios where AI goes rogue and kills us all? Sure. Has
399. 1:12:28that happened yet? Nope. Can I make cool animations and pictures with MidJourney? Yep. Can it help me write sales and marketing
400. 1:12:39messages for my business? Yep. So, yeah. So, I'm with you. It might do that, but that's not in my control.
401. 1:12:52It may not destroy us directly. Question is, is the future dystopia or utopia? You know, it's funny, Joker. Um Sam
402. 1:13:00Alman in the interview with his brother that we watched a little bit of it the other night, his brother asked him like, you know what, like
403. 1:13:12how might this not happen? And what Sam Alman said was, you know, there is a possibility that not only do we get AGI, but we get
404. 1:13:25artificial super intelligence, right? where where the artificial intelligence is smarter by far than any human on
405. 1:13:32Earth or or you know even potentially all of the humans on Earth and and just nothing happens. Nothing
406. 1:13:40really changes. We keep doing what we're doing and we've got these hyper intelligent entities off to the side and
407. 1:13:48you know there's some people leveraging them and taking advantage of them and starting up billion-dollar businesses
408. 1:13:52with one people but the world ostensibly doesn't change. So, so a possibility is that we hit super intelligence and nothing really changes,
409. 1:14:02you know, and then and then there's there's probably varying grades of things get marginally better, things get
410. 1:14:10dramatically better, things get holy [ __ ] better, and then things are transformed to the point of utopia, and
411. 1:14:17then I think you've got a gradated scale going toward dystopia. Um, my experience in life is that nothing
412. 1:14:25really ever happens on those extremes. Everything kind of happens in the middle. So, I don't know. But what I do know is
413. 1:14:37the week after Chat GPT came out, I created a fully functional Python application that was making API calls to OpenAI servers,
414. 1:14:51never having written a line of Python in my life. This is not just an efficiency tool. This is one of my pet peeves of how
415. 1:15:00people think about AI is, oh, it'll we'll just take what we do and it'll make it more efficient. No, no, no. This
416. 1:15:07is this is not the computer that our grandparents knew. We're the grandparents. This is this is not the computer that we grew up with.
417. 1:15:18It's doing something different. Um, and so this channel is about being there like being in the conversation five
418. 1:15:26nights a week. so that I personally don't lose touch with what's happening. And then there's a bunch of people that
419. 1:15:33show up here night after night after night, not because they're weird, but because they're irregular,
420. 1:15:40for the same reason, for the community, for understanding, for just being in the conversation. Because again,
421. 1:15:50when the tools get better or when some big change happens in the world, people that are AI forward and
422. 1:15:58understand these tools are going to be able to adapt to that really, really quickly. And other people aren't, and
423. 1:16:03that makes me sad. Um, not your daddy's Oldsmobile. Exactly. Exactly. I've created dozens of things that would
424. 1:16:12otherwise not exist. Yeah, exactly. Yes. Well, we're happy to join you. Thank you, Doughboy. I'm weird. I'm embracing
425. 1:16:18it, baby. You listen, you can be both irregular and weird. I I would argue that the irregulars are deliluding themselves into thinking
426. 1:16:29they're not weird. They've just repackaged it. Oh, man. All right. Um,
427. 1:16:44how we doing time wise? Let's Let's go play a little. Um, actually, this might be the scene to do it with.
428. 1:17:07All right. So, we Okay. So, so here's here's here's what I want to experiment with. Oh, wait. We're not we're not live. Hang
429. 1:17:15on a sec because I'm not sharing. I am sharing. Hang on. Hold on. There we go. Where? Yeah, there we go. Okay.
430. 1:17:29Um, hang on. Dog. Dog is looking for cheese. Hold please. What's up, champ? You want cheese?
431. 1:17:44Are there people out there?
432. 1:18:05Okay. So, what I want to experiment with is so MidJourney's got this new video model that's really quite amazing. Um,
433. 1:18:17and you can extend it four times of four seconds each. So, so you start out with an initial 5-second video and then you
434. 1:18:25can do 4 444. So, you can do 21 seconds total, but for each of those additional segments, you can give it its own prompt.
435. 1:18:35Um, and so you can do like sophisticated camera moves and things like that. So, let's go to chat GPT for a second and say, um, how would I
436. 1:18:50describe a camera move that um,
437. 1:19:04goes high in the air and turns turns to face the house looking down on Esme. Esme. If we want to be fancy about it, it's Esme.
438. 1:19:22Hello. Hello, father. Father. Father. Yes. Esme. It's Esme. Looking down on Esme.
439. 1:19:36um through the pink smoke. Okay, you could describe it. The camera cranes high into the air in a smooth vertical rise, ascending through the
440. 1:19:50swirling pink smoke. As it reaches its apex, it executes a slow overhead arc, rotating to look straight down. The shot
441. 1:19:58settles into a top-down god's eye view, revealing Eme. It's Esme, not Esme. It's Esme. Okay. Centered below, small,
442. 1:20:12defiant, framed by the glowing tendrils of magical smoke as they curl. Okay. Do I want a more technical storyboard
443. 1:20:19style? Yeah, that's good. Let's try that. So, we're going to go back to chat. Japeta. And then we're going to do I guess this
444. 1:20:26would be high motion. So I'm clicking on So down here in the lower right hand corner. If you want to animate a still image,
445. 1:20:37you use these buttons. And if you want to extend a video, you also use these buttons. And so you've got automatic,
446. 1:20:46low movement, high movement, and manual low movement, high movement. So I'm going to do manual, high, high movement.
447. 1:20:53Okay. So let's see. Magic motion high. the camera cranes high into the air. All right. Boom. Let's see what we get.
448. 1:21:05And while those are rendering, let's go look at some of the other videos we made.
449. 1:21:19A drone with a 4K GoPro will work. Very nice. We're fancy. We're about to a boot instead of about. Exactly. Only 3.7,000
450. 1:21:29likes. Yeah. What's up, people? Get tapping the screen. Tap tap away. All right, [Music] there's these people walking around. There's Esme.
451. 1:21:43Oh, yeah. This is the one I didn't think it would do too well. It's pretty good. Like it really seems to understand
452. 1:21:59like it's not it's it it is in no way trying to make anything in this image 3D. Everything's in flat planes which makes
453. 1:22:08sense considering the image. Huh. Very cool.
454. 1:22:24Oh, I love that one with the fireworks and like they're all the same exact paper cut of fireworks. Very nice.
455. 1:22:38What up people? Oh, what up people? Yo, Jason was shaking. Mid Journey has a secret saucy sauce under the hood. They really do. This
456. 1:22:48video model is is it's very special. It's very You know what it You know what it has? It It is It's the special sauce. It's got
457. 1:22:58It's just got an aesthetic something that the other video models don't have. They got to They got to do audio though.
458. 1:23:09They They got to They got to They got to bring this thing in. So it can compete with V3, right? If she were actually talking there like V3.
459. 1:23:21That's great. Okay, here's our
460. 1:23:35So that didn't work. Nope.
461. 1:24:03Okay, so those are all fails. Fascinating. Okay, so let's go back to chat. Jeet and say that failed miserably. Just give me a more technical
462. 1:24:22description for the camera move and what is in frame.
463. 1:24:41[Music] in China got digital twins that sold a few million dollars in sales on live video. Yep.
464. 1:24:58[Music] That's a fail. Well, it was a fail for what we were trying to do. No, it looked be th those look beautiful, but what I
465. 1:25:08was trying to do was get it to dolly up and shoot down on on Esme. So So basically, we have a shot where it's
466. 1:25:16zooming in on her and then I wanted it to go up and look down. All right. So let's try this. Go back here. And then I think we got to
467. 1:25:28go back and find What's that? That's just the image. So, which one was it? This one. This one.
468. 1:25:44Okay. So, we're going to do manual. We'll do manual low motion and then camera starts on a vertical crane up
469. 1:25:57rising above. uh instead of Esme the girl the the person because we don't know. Oh no. Did I Did I submit it? I submitted it. Damn it.
470. 1:26:09All right. Hang on. There's the start frame.
471. 1:26:28Let's see. Above the person. That might have been why it didn't work because it was Esme. We don't know who Esme is. In
472. 1:26:37fact, let's go back to chat. Jete. Um, hey, just realized the system doesn't know who Esme is. So
473. 1:26:55describe her as a character uh visually. Okay, let's see what that does. Oh, here
474. 1:27:10we go. Good catch. Camera starts as it ascends uh above the character. It descends, tilts downward to face back down. Zenith view
475. 1:27:22camera performs feet above a young girl standing in a clearing. All right, we'll do this one. We'll say the young
476. 1:27:33girl instead of a young girl. We don't want it to sound like it's different of the young girl with the flares.
477. 1:27:52All right. Okay. So, what did we get? Let's see. What did we get here? Do we have anything resembling success?
478. 1:28:06Uh, no. Oh, wait. Maybe sort of. Hang on. I got to move my window. So, this is in the neighborhood. It's at
479. 1:28:20least following up with the smoke. All right. Here's the next one.
480. 1:28:38Yeah. So, that's working sort of. Not really what I was looking for, but that's okay. This is why we play. Oh, god. That thing.
481. 1:28:52You can thank uh Tim Cook for that window covering up everything. Why it covers up why it jumps that thing around
482. 1:29:00is beyond me. I have no idea. Oh, I know why it might be actually. Hang on. Because it's off screen. So, I bet if I did this,
483. 1:29:17and then did this, and then come over here and do this, and then come over here and do this. Yeah,
484. 1:29:24it doesn't [ __ ] up anymore. All right, I just learned something new. Yay. I'm Mr. Smartyp Pants. All right. So, we're coming in and we're
485. 1:29:39not following the camera directions at all. Okay. All right. Does anyone on the channel
486. 1:29:55has anyone been playing with extending midjourney videos in a way that you can actually get decent camera control? Has
487. 1:30:02anybody had a relatively dis decent computer for sale that's upgradable and not half a decade old? I need one too,
488. 1:30:10Doughboy. I need one for my racing rig. I haven't I haven't sim raced in two years because of this channel. And I
489. 1:30:18fried my I fried my handme-down computer for my kids because I got a I got a graphics card from from Facebook
490. 1:30:25Marketplace for free and it fried my computer. So So I'm I'm down a racing rig. Um All right. I don't know how to do
491. 1:30:37that [ __ ] So Vicki wants me to go to a regular. So let's go to a regular. What are you doing in a regular?
492. 1:30:48Hey, it's Kyle Shannon. Here I am in irregulars. What am I looking at here? Oh, refresh. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
493. 1:30:59Understood. Got to refresh. I still don't see what I'm looking at here. Vicki. Oh, this one. Is this Esme? Oh,
494. 1:31:08she's gonna say it's Esme. I know what's happening here. I'm being trolled. I'm being trolled, people. You don't
495. 1:31:16understand. You think it's easy being me? Vicki comes in with her fancy word interpretations. Makes V3 videos to put me in my place.
496. 1:31:30[Laughter] It's [Laughter] I knew it. I knew I was getting trolled.
497. 1:31:48Trolled by an AI. Look at that bratty little look on her face. It's isme. It's [Laughter]
498. 1:32:05[ __ ] beautiful. I love it. You know, this is one of the things that does give me joy in life is we're living
499. 1:32:18in a time now where we could have a silly little interaction like we had and Vicki can just go off and like make a
500. 1:32:27cute little acting response. Like I that's just like what a [ __ ] time to be alive. Any cinematographers watching will say,
501. 1:32:39"Well, my job is safe for now." Yeah, exactly. Well, no. Your job is safe if if I'm the one competing against you. I
502. 1:32:47guarantee you there are some some prompt maniacs out there that have got this camera control thing down. And a lot of
503. 1:32:54things like Cling and uh I think Pika has it. I think uh uh I know uh Lumalabs has it. A lot of the video tools have
504. 1:33:04camera controls in them that are actually quite good. Um, I was just trying to do it in here with a prompt
505. 1:33:09and I obviously don't know what I'm doing. So, you know, further evidence that I'm not qualified to be doing this. Oh, man. All right.
506. 1:33:22Fantastic. All right, everybody. Let's see. It's 9:30. Let's Let's get you out of here early tonight. Let's get
507. 1:33:30you out of here and get your weekend started. Get your weekend started, right? I tried to make Patrick Baitman take the chainsaw from Elon.
508. 1:33:43Vickiy's a midjourney master. Um, do wait. Do I want I can I can I can show one of the call center videos.
509. 1:33:57What's the uh what's I think I might even have the channel up still. Yeah. So, I'll share a thing that Brandon did
510. 1:34:10last night. So last night I said to people, you know, a thing to do, a thing that you could do is you see these you see these memes sort
511. 1:34:23of popping up instantly. So I said, why not go make an instant meme popper? So, so yesterday there was a thing called something barista or
512. 1:34:34something coffee um that was about bitter baristas and then um Brandon just did this Tik Tok channel called Savage
513. 1:34:42Support Fair. Yeah, the thing yesterday was Feral Coffee Crew um and and it was just all angry baristas and then Brandon
514. 1:34:51put up the Savage Support um Tik Tok channel. So, here's here's Brandon's video that he put out. Wait, let me do the black bar here for
515. 1:35:01the for the Tik Tok people. All right. I do understand your frustration with the delivery delay, but did I personally
516. 1:35:10drive the truck off a cliff? No. Am I currently wrestling a bear for your package? I have hopes, dreams, and a
517. 1:35:15desperate need for this call to end so I can eat my sad desk salad. I've explained this in seven different ways,
518. 1:35:21including a haiku. What more do you want from me? Why would I know your password? Okay. So, you're going to want to click on the
519. 1:35:29settings icon. It looks like a little gear. It is not a mystical portal to another dimension. It's a gear. Click
520. 1:35:34the gear. Let me know when you see it. I do understand your frustration with the delivery delay. But did I?
521. 1:35:41And the one comment he got was, "What tools are you using?" Well, if you'd come to the AI flip and learning lab,
522. 1:35:47maybe you'd know. Maybe you'd know. You understand what I'm saying? All right. Free aranch. Um. All right. Any homework for the weekend?
523. 1:36:02If you've got access to MidJourney, um I would say just go burn your credits for making videos. If you're not paying the
524. 1:36:1360 buck a month pro subscription, you're going to you're going to very quickly um run through your video credits. But I
525. 1:36:21would say just go run through your video credits just to understand how the model works. It's quite good if you don't have midjourney.
526. 1:36:36What to do this weekend? Here's here's a thing to think about over the weekend. So,
527. 1:36:51so Jim Ross, who's in the um he's in this community, he's in the AI learning lab community, the AI salon community. Um
528. 1:37:02he helps people manage self- storage units, which is arguably the least AI the least AI powered industry on the
529. 1:37:15planet is self- storage units, right? and he has somehow managed over the past two years to make his entire business
530. 1:37:24centered around AI amplifying what he does. It's brilliant what he does. And so one of the things that he did today
531. 1:37:33was he started up a whole new side business because of something that happened on a call. And what it was was he was on a call and
532. 1:37:43someone said, "Hey, I see you making these video things. I've got these written testimonials from people that
533. 1:37:50I'd like to, you know, somehow turn into a video, maybe put them up on screen or something like that with my my storage
534. 1:37:56units behind them or something with stars and whatever. And so while he was on the phone with the guy, he's taking
535. 1:38:05he's taking the testimonials and going into V3 and I guess he described the storage, you know, what what this guy's storage
536. 1:38:14units look like. and he basically made customer testimonials in video. And so within an hour of talking to this guy,
537. 1:38:22he sent him he sent him a commercial with like eight different testimonials of different people talking about how
538. 1:38:30awesome the storage place is. Um that's not normal to be able to do that. Well, on on a number of fronts. One is
539. 1:38:42it's not normal for someone who's in the business gyms in to think, huh, wonder if instead of giving him, you know, what
540. 1:38:50he expects, like, you know, printed out things, I could go make a film. That's not normal. Just just having that
541. 1:38:59mindset. But also, we now have technology that allows Jim to instantly just go do that, right? So, I think a
542. 1:39:07thing to think about this weekend is what are all of the creative ways that you could provide value to someone in an unexpected way,
543. 1:39:20right? So, someone asks you for a report, maybe you give them the report and you give them the um Notebook LM
544. 1:39:28podcast of the report so they can listen to it on their way home from work. or maybe you make a little campaign that
545. 1:39:37talks about how awesome it is to work at your company. Whatever it is, I would say start to think about I'm going to
546. 1:39:44use a a fancy ass um AI tech bro word, but multimodality. Start to think about all of the different modes, all of the different
547. 1:39:55ways that you can generate engaging content or work or applications that you otherwise wouldn't have considered. They just would be weird or
548. 1:40:07you just wouldn't take the effort to do that. But now you can because of AI. So I think that's the homework. Think think
549. 1:40:14about that stuff. All right. Any final words, thoughts from anyone? Rock, paper, scissors. [Music] He did that all in a midjourney question
550. 1:40:30mark. [Music] Yeah. No, the the the Jim Jim Ross'
551. 1:40:45thing was done on V3, not on more about MCP, please. um MCP right now. I haven't I haven't set
552. 1:40:59up a server. It's it's it's very very geeky to set up an MCP server right now. Um, I'll tell you I I'll tell you where what
553. 1:41:10I'm doing with MCP's MCP right now is I'm just ignoring it because because it looks like it's going to be adopted. If you want to geek out
554. 1:41:23um and really learn about them, like what I would do, Jeff Flanigan, is just point chat GPT deep research and say go learn
555. 1:41:32everything you can about MCPs and how to set them up and then just get the report back and follow that. Um,
556. 1:41:41I'm just going to wait for OpenAI and Anthropic and whoever is going to incorporate them to get their [ __ ]
557. 1:41:47together because what we don't have right now is like a big MCP directory where you can just log into anthropic,
558. 1:41:56you know, Claude or ChatgPT and just pick from a pick list and the [ __ ] just works. We're just not there yet. So, I'm
559. 1:42:03kind of waiting on it. So um but basically it's m MCP servers are are a way for people who have data datari websites or
560. 1:42:15just websites in general or applications in general to be able to say to claude or open aai if you want to make
561. 1:42:28a 3D object if if if someone asks you in a prompt to make a 3D object You can use the the Blender MCP tool where
562. 1:42:40Chat GPT will understand what it means to make a 3D object and it will understand all of the functions it has
563. 1:42:47in Blender that it can make 3D objects and it will just go over to Blender, make that 3D object and then bring it
564. 1:42:54back to Chat GPT. That's where it's headed. Setting it up right now is a nightmare. So, it's more fundamental
565. 1:43:01than that. It's just a way to pipe together apps, models, and data. Yeah, exactly. It's not simple enough and I
566. 1:43:08can't be bothered to learn. That's correct, Pate. That is that you are correct. And you listen, you should absolutely troll me
567. 1:43:18for that and you should take me down for that. But it's totally where I am right now cuz I it's like I can't keep up with
568. 1:43:24the easy [ __ ] much less go in and and here's my philosophy on the the stuff that is just technically too hard for me
569. 1:43:34is yes, I can figure it out and I figured it out before. And every time I figured it out before, two months later
570. 1:43:44something has come along that just makes it really easy. So, so I'm just making a conscious choice to just wait
571. 1:43:55because yes, it is slightly inconvenient for me. I absolutely agree with your with your um your assessment of of my my
572. 1:44:05uh my choices in life being questionable. Yes. Um let's see. That might be easier than to create a 3D
573. 1:44:15printing model models. Well, that's like so rock paper scissors like where we're going is with MCP servers. What what
574. 1:44:23what we in theory it looks like this. Hey chat GPT, come up with some cool 3D model I can print on my 3D printer and sell on Etsy.
575. 1:44:36And what it will do is it'll come up with ideas and and you'll say, "Oh, I like idea number two. Let's make that
576. 1:44:42one." And then it will say, "Oh, I need to make a robot. Let me first go make a 3D model." And it'll look at its MCP
577. 1:44:50servers and say, "Oh, I've got access to Blender. Let me go make a model in Blender." And then it'll say, "Okay, now
578. 1:44:56that I've made the model in Blender, maybe I'll get the user to see if he likes it. Okay, yes, I like that. And
579. 1:45:02now I need to print it." And so now there's an MCP server for the print software for your 3D printer. And it'll
580. 1:45:08take that model and it'll send it to your 3D printer. So from your chat GPT interface, you'll be able to generate a
581. 1:45:16model and print it and then probably [ __ ] come up with a marketing name for it, make the listing on Etsy,
582. 1:45:27um do do social media po posts about it with with fake characters generated in VO3 and then and then fulfill fulfill the
583. 1:45:38orders that come rushing in because you made your fancy thing. Like that's where it's headed. We're We're just not there
584. 1:45:44yet. Tik Tok bin Kelly Camp Kyle has ruined me. If it feels like work, I'm no longer interested. I know it's so bad.
585. 1:45:53It's so bad. I've got I work my [ __ ] ass off, but the minute it feels like work, I shut down. It's totally It's
586. 1:46:02totally It's totally a bad habit, but I don't give a [ __ ] This is, you know, this this is this is the tricks this
