0:29 Standing between
0:32 you and a hard place is insane.
0:36 [Music]
0:38 Standing too near
0:41 you and a fire makes it clear.
0:45 [Music]
0:48 Your trouble to me.
0:52 [Music]
0:54 Real trouble. Can't say
0:58 [Music]
0:59 [Applause]
1:01 you close.
1:03 Smell of your perfume scares me most.
1:08 [Music]
1:10 Leading away
1:12 [Music]
1:13 feels stronger every day.
1:17 [Music]
1:19 You're trouble to me.
1:23 [Music]
1:25 Real trouble. Can't you say
1:29 [Music]
1:43 [Music]
1:46 that?
1:50 [Music]
2:05 Welcome good people. Welcome good people
2:07 of the internet.
2:10 Um, I don't know if you all have heard
2:13 this. There's this new thing. It's come
2:15 out.
2:17 It's uh
2:19 they call it they call it the uh AI
2:25 AI it's like uh like astronomical
2:29 intelligence or something like that. And
2:32 then apparently it's like the computers
2:33 are now smarter than all the PhD
2:35 students and the PhD students are like
2:38 the computers are stealing the music
2:42 and it's apparently it's a whole thing
2:46 apparently. So, so I went ahead and I
2:48 just started a channel. This is it's
2:52 it's the AI channel. This what did I
2:54 call it?
2:56 A AI learning lab. So, I started this
3:00 channel because it's like what I heard
3:01 was it's all hype. And I'm like, well,
3:04 [ __ ] if it's all hype, like let me get
3:06 some of that sweet sweet hype action,
3:09 right? And then someone told me like all
3:11 these Bigfoot videos, it's all done with
3:14 this this astronomical intelligence. And
3:18 I'm like, well, I want to make large
3:21 monkey looking man beasts.
3:25 You know what I'm saying?
3:28 I can do that. And you know, I like I
3:30 was thinking like maybe instead of like
3:32 Bigfoots, we make them ballerinas.
3:35 Start a whole ballerina channel.
3:38 So the what? So what this channel's
3:41 really about is we're just going to make
3:42 a [ __ ] fortune on the hype.
3:46 All right.
3:48 I don't even know what the what the AI
3:50 is, but I hear it's big. I hear it's
3:52 big.
3:58 [Laughter]
4:03 This comedy interlude brought to you by
4:06 Penso.
4:09 [Applause]
4:14 Corey Sandler Pottery's here. What's
4:16 happening, Cory Sandler?
4:18 How is the pottery business?
4:21 Are you still sautéing mushrooms,
4:25 making pots,
4:27 doing remarkable things with AI, or have
4:30 you have you bailed on AI? You're like,
4:32 "Screw it. I'm out. Back to back to the
4:35 clay.
4:41 [Music]
5:17 Um,
5:22 I think that the midjourney video thing
5:24 is a bigger deal. It's it's a big big
5:27 big big big deal. It's a big deal.
5:29 Although I did just see someone just
5:31 said, "Is M midjourney down?" So, it's
5:33 possible Midjourney's down. Tik Tok pin.
5:36 Corey saying with pottery pottery just
5:38 brought just bought 12 new domains for
5:42 apparel ideas. AI will help. Beautiful.
5:44 Perfect. Yeah, AI will be really good at
5:47 that actually. Um, let's see. Is
5:49 midjourney down? Let's see.
6:00 [Music]
6:01 All right, I got to switch cameras. So,
6:04 now you see me in the other thing and
6:07 I'm just like a little head over in that
6:09 window. Um,
6:13 we uh
6:15 the MS didn't feel like cooking tonight,
6:17 so we went on ahead and had fast food
6:20 for dinner. So, so I I I might be a
6:25 little low energy tonight because I got
6:27 my body is trying to figure out what the
6:29 [ __ ] I just put in it.
6:31 [Laughter]
6:34 Been making my own vids similar to some
6:36 of that trending stuff. Awesome. Listen,
6:39 archetypal architect
6:41 figuring out how to copy those trends.
6:43 Like, I don't think I don't think any of
6:45 this stuff has wasted time because it's
6:48 like you're going to figure out how to
6:49 do that stuff. if you're going to figure
6:50 out what it does well, what it doesn't,
6:52 why it's hard, why it's easy. I feel
6:54 like any of the stuff you can do right
6:56 now to to just, you know, throw pasta at
6:59 the wall is is time well invested.
7:03 Um, I need a word. Let's see.
7:07 Trending. Trending could be a word.
7:09 Somebody give me a word.
7:12 Corey Sandler Pottery, you you do need a
7:15 midJourney account, Corey. I'll I'll
7:16 show you some of the videos. They're
7:18 insane.
7:19 But I need a word. Do we got the silver
7:22 fox in the house?
7:24 Who's Who's a word? No, not turtle. I
7:27 need a like I need like a big
7:28 philosophical word. I feel like Harry
7:30 Mack right now. No animals, magic,
7:32 dystopia. Perfect. All right. Corey
7:34 Sandler for the wind. All right. So,
7:38 here I am in mid Journey. So, I'm going
7:40 to turn on personalization
7:42 and I'm going to go dystopia. Dis
7:46 Oops.
7:48 Dystopia.
7:50 We'll just do it like that. We'll just
7:51 get get us four images. Oh, transcending
7:54 is a good one. Let's do that one, too.
7:56 Transcending.
8:00 Good. Discombobulated. Fantastic.
8:03 Disconulated.
8:07 And then I'm going to put
8:09 reccombobulation.
8:12 [Laughter]
8:15 And fine. Fine. We'll do magic as well.
8:18 Magic. Oh, you know what else we'll do?
8:20 We'll do abracadabra. Abracadabra.
8:23 [Music]
8:26 All right.
8:28 So, it doesn't look like midjourney is
8:30 down to me. Looks like it's working just
8:32 fine.
8:34 Oh, these are cool images.
8:37 So, by the way, these these images that
8:40 are these crazy ass um looking swirl
8:43 images, this was an image from today
8:46 from NASA that is the it's the closest
8:49 we've ever been to Jupiter. And so the
8:52 start frame here, that start frame is
8:55 from I don't know if it's from Hubble or
8:57 whatever, whatever space telescope is up
9:00 there close to Jupiter took that picture
9:03 and then I dropped it into midjourney
9:04 and just hit low motion and so
9:08 it made these things. They're [ __ ]
9:10 beautiful.
9:15 That this is the one I just posted on
9:17 socials. Isn't that amazing? And it's
9:21 actually, you know, like I don't know
9:22 what direction these things are all
9:24 flowing up there, but like it's, you
9:27 know, these things are big giant storms,
9:28 so this is probably not dissimilar to
9:30 how they how they move. Yeah. Lava lava
9:33 lamp 2.0. That's really funny. Steo
9:36 question on YouTube. Anyone else not
9:39 enjoying chat GPT voice mode after the
9:41 update? Um, I I have heard that too,
9:44 Steo. Uh,
9:48 she's she's gotten a little
9:55 I think you're I think you're you're
9:58 you're touching on a much much bigger
10:02 issue,
10:04 which is we're going to start imprinting
10:07 on the personalities of these tools.
10:10 And then when the tech kids just say,
10:13 "Here's a new update. It's better now.
10:15 Uh, it's going to fry a lot of people.
10:17 So,
10:19 like I don't I spent 45 minutes the
10:23 other day talking with Quinn. I dropped
10:25 Olly off down in South Denver and I had
10:27 like a 45 minute drive to work and I
10:30 brainstormed a whole section of my book
10:32 for 45 minutes with Quinn on the way up.
10:35 So, I didn't
10:38 I didn't hate it, but I like but I could
10:43 see where I could see where you would.
10:45 So, I I I this is something we're going
10:49 to consistently face as users of these
10:52 tools. They're going to change the
10:54 personality. They're going to change the
10:55 voice. They're going to change the look
10:56 and feel.
10:58 I don't know. I don't know there's a way
11:00 around it. Smart memy and snippy.
11:04 Okay. Yeah, like you're talking to a
11:05 person. Yeah, exactly. All right, so
11:07 let's go look at some of the images we
11:08 just made. So, the only reason I'm
11:11 making images in Midjourney right now is
11:13 um
11:14 is for um I hate that thing. This is a
11:20 bad part of the MidJourney interface. Um
11:24 someone just said it was down. So, okay.
11:26 So, this these four images are the word
11:29 dystopia.
11:32 Yeah, these are looking pretty dystopic.
11:34 Dystopic. Is that a word? I think that's
11:36 a word. Dystopia.
11:40 Wow,
11:41 that one's crazy.
11:44 Here's transcending.
11:47 And again, this is with my
11:48 personalization turned on.
11:54 More transcending. Here's
11:56 discombobulated.
11:57 [Laughter]
11:59 Well, let's animate that one. So, if you
12:01 don't know how to animate in midjourney
12:05 over here on the right hand side where
12:07 you used to have well where you still
12:09 have like varying and and upscaling and
12:12 stuff like that. You now have this
12:13 animation these four animation things.
12:16 There's low motion automatic, high
12:18 motion automatic, low motion manual, and
12:22 high motion manual. So, let's just do
12:24 we'll do low motion
12:27 automatic.
12:30 All right. So that's him. Oh, I like
12:32 that that one too. Oh, these are great.
12:34 This is discombobulated.
12:36 Like that one a lot. That's very Kelly
12:38 Bosch, isn't it? Oops. Sorry. Tik Tok
12:41 pin. Dr. J, I'm still really salty about
12:45 Pluto. Not sure I can handle the
12:47 constant AI changes.
12:50 What do you mean? It's not a planet.
12:53 Pluto's a planet. It's just a gaseous
12:56 ice ball, but it's the size of a planet,
12:58 right? Well, technically, we don't
13:00 really know. Isn't it farther from the
13:02 solar system?
13:06 And didn't they reinstate it, Dr. J?
13:08 Aren't we back? Aren't we back to Pluto
13:09 being a planet? Please tell me we are.
13:19 I just It's one of my great joys in life
13:22 is just acting like an idiot.
13:28 I I always pleasantly surprise people
13:30 that I actually am not an idiot. They're
13:33 like, "You seem like an idiot, but you
13:34 know, you're actually you're actually
13:36 kind of smart." That's a little
13:38 counterintuitive, isn't it?
13:41 When I met you, I thought, "Good Lord,
13:43 he's a dumb dumb."
13:50 I've been referred to as a gashious ice
13:53 ball.
13:56 [Music]
14:21 Hello.
14:25 [Music]
14:34 What do you think, Champy? What do you
14:36 want to sing
14:41 [Music]
14:44 in a westerly?
14:48 [Music]
14:52 This car is my train.
14:56 I've been driving. I've been wondering
15:01 what it is I'm running from again.
15:03 [Music]
15:09 Feel like an 80y old man
15:13 holding on to 29.
15:18 And up ahead on that horizon,
15:22 it's California
15:33 up ahead of trucks carrying a wide load.
15:37 Pre house cut in half.
15:41 Cute little front door and two windows.
15:43 My Lord
15:45 ain't sure whether to cry should laugh.
15:50 You see, I broke a home up myself once.
15:54 As I stumbled to that door,
15:58 I read a note by the dawn light
16:03 said, "Don't you come around here
16:07 [Music]
16:08 anymore."
16:11 Well, I've had enough.
16:15 this freedom of
16:18 never was good with decision.
16:22 At least that's what I've been told.
16:26 [Music]
16:33 Friday night date night. It is Friday
16:35 night date night. Pebbles on Tik Tok is
16:38 concerned about selling out to the
16:41 government. Palunteer. Well, yeah, you
16:43 should be
16:48 anti-bubbles. You are correct in your
16:50 assumption that you should be concerned
16:52 that the that that our government has
16:56 contracted
16:57 with Palunteer
17:00 to make a database of all Americans. You
17:03 should be concerned. You should also be
17:06 concerned that 16 billion names and
17:08 passwords were leaked yesterday onto the
17:11 dark web. the largest data breach in
17:14 history.
17:16 Welcome to the future.
17:20 KKE is curious about the MIT study. Oh,
17:23 the the creative atrophy. Okay, here's
17:26 the thing about that MIT study. Everyone
17:29 is saying that that that that
17:32 study proves that AI rots your brain.
17:35 They only me measured a very it was
17:38 first of all, it was nine people. It
17:40 wasn't a full-blown study. It was nine
17:42 [ __ ] people. And then they were also
17:44 only studying a very particular impact
17:47 of brain activity.
17:50 Like
17:52 I I I
17:59 if you surf Tik Tok in a certain way,
18:03 some activity in your brain's going to
18:04 be different than if you surf it another
18:06 way.
18:07 So yes,
18:10 in some areas you might use your brain
18:13 for less, but what I would argue is did
18:16 the people that were using AI have
18:19 significantly higher activity maybe in
18:21 higher levels of thinking or or were
18:24 they just low in the lower levels of
18:26 thinking? Like I I don't know. I don't
18:27 know. I don't know. I'm salty about it.
18:29 I just I Here's my problem with those
18:32 studies.
18:36 They're just they're just fuel for the
18:37 doomers to go, "See, I told you AI was
18:41 evil
18:43 and and they don't have anything to do
18:44 with anything.
18:47 If you use generative AI in any kind of
18:51 creative capacity, and by creative I
18:52 don't mean creative work. I mean like
18:55 you're using critical thinking.
18:58 If you use AI in any kind of critical
19:00 thinking,
19:02 you're using your brain
19:05 in significant ways and significantly
19:08 different ways than you would have had
19:10 you had to do all the blocking and
19:11 tackling yourself. So, I just I'm
19:22 Yeah, AI is not evil. Palunteer is.
19:25 Yeah, Palunteer is pretty crazy.
19:28 What platform are we looking at here?
19:30 This is We're We're in Midjourney. So,
19:32 uh someone just said MidJourney was
19:33 down. So I just went in one of my one of
19:35 my favorite things to do in midjourney
19:36 is turn personalization on or off and
19:39 just give it a single word. So I so I
19:41 asked I asked the uh the irregulars here
19:44 to give me some words. So this is
19:45 discombobulated.
19:48 Let's
19:51 Oh, this is recombobulation. Nice. It's
19:54 funny that that it chose that airport
19:56 scene for recombobulation
19:59 because recombobulate is not actually a
20:01 word, but in the Minneapolis airport,
20:04 there is a recombobulation area on the
20:07 other side of security, which I think is
20:10 [ __ ] genius. There's recombobulation.
20:13 I like that one. We're going to do high
20:15 motion on this one for sure.
20:19 So, if you don't know, if you're new
20:21 here, we've got like we've got 35 people
20:23 here. 27 on YouTube and the other
20:24 channels. Um,
20:27 two days yet yesterday, two days ago, I
20:30 don't know, some short amount of hours
20:32 ago,
20:34 MidJourney released their video model.
20:36 And it's [ __ ] insane. And and the
20:39 more I've been digging into it, the more
20:41 I understand why it's insane, because
20:44 it's not really a video model. It's a
20:46 chopped off It's a chopped off feature
20:49 of a much bigger idea which is basically
20:52 real time um 3D world building.
20:58 There's just something about the nature
20:59 of the video that it creates. It's
21:00 [ __ ] bonkers good. Oh, that's
21:02 beautiful. So, this is magic is the word
21:05 here. Love that. Oh, let's give that one
21:07 some low motion.
21:12 More magic.
21:14 This is abracadabra.
21:18 Oh, love that one.
21:21 You know what I'm going to do with that
21:22 one? I'm going to do high motion on that
21:24 one because
21:26 that one to me feels like one that would
21:28 be hard for a model to figure out how to
21:30 animate.
21:32 That's gorgeous. Let's do high motion on
21:33 that one.
21:35 Nice. This is abracadabra.
21:39 Let's give her low motion animation.
21:42 I'm going to blow through my credits
21:44 again.
22:00 Oh, that's interesting. It didn't move
22:02 the stuff in the background. It just
22:03 moved the foreground things.
22:06 Huh. Fascinating.
22:10 Fascinating.
22:21 Look at that. Look how beautiful that
22:22 is.
22:24 That one's really quite gorgeous.
22:56 Wow, that's really gorgeous.
23:00 All right, so here's what we're going to
23:01 do. Watch this. So, I'm going to stop
23:03 this here at some point.
23:06 where we want to stop it.
23:11 So, right when he's got those two. All
23:14 right. So, we're gonna take a screenshot
23:16 of this. So, what am I going to do here?
23:18 Oh, I know what I'm going to do. Okay.
23:22 This is going to be fun. I'm going to
23:24 teach you. I'm going to share a couple
23:26 of parlor tricks with you. This is like
23:28 This is like Friday night date night
23:30 parlor tricks. You don't get this. This
23:32 is not weekday kind of activity, right?
23:36 If you're willing to come here on a
23:37 Friday night and hang out with tubby old
23:40 fat man who doesn't know anything about
23:42 AI, I'm going to give you some goodies.
23:44 All right, so what we're going to do is
23:45 we're going to take a screenshot of
23:46 that. We're going to head on over to
23:49 ChatJeppet. I don't know if you know
23:51 Chat Jeppet is a it's one of them their
23:54 uh AI tools. It's what they call a large
23:58 language model
24:00 and it's got language in it that's large
24:02 and and it's a model. So, it's not the
24:05 real thing. This is just like a model of
24:07 the thing. Anyway, you can you can paste
24:11 in that image we just took and you can
24:13 say,
24:15 um,
24:17 tell
24:19 me the story here.
24:22 Oh, and what I'm also going to do is I'm
24:24 going to flip over to a model that most
24:26 of you have probably not even heard of,
24:28 much less used,
24:30 which is GPT 4.5.
24:34 Now, why am I choosing 4.5? Because
24:37 GPT4.5
24:38 is really good at empathy and
24:40 storytelling and things like that. So,
24:43 tell me the story here. So, we're going
24:44 to get a story out of this thing.
24:47 So, it's going to read that image,
24:54 I think.
24:56 Maybe not.
25:00 In the misty heart of Elder Grove, a
25:02 forgotten village swallowed by the
25:04 shadows of time, a young girl named Esme
25:08 stands defiant. Elder Grove was known
25:11 for whispering woods and homes abandoned
25:13 by villagers and mysterious after
25:15 mysterious van vanishings. Esme,
25:19 orphaned and resilient, discovers two
25:22 enchanted flares hidden beneath the
25:24 floorboards of her dilapidated home. an
25:27 old secret kept by her vanished parents.
25:30 All right, so we got a good little story
25:32 here. Nice. Okay, so now I'm gonna flip
25:34 back over to 4.0. Tik Tok what? Tin. Tik
25:38 Tok in Tik Tok pin.
25:44 Custom GPTs now allows you allow you to
25:47 choose a model. Very cool. Love it. I'm
25:50 going back to GPT4. So now I'm going to
25:52 say I want
25:56 you to describe
25:59 in detail
26:02 what the sound of those flares and
26:08 the
26:11 ambiance
26:13 of the scene
26:20 would sound like sound like. All right.
26:30 Uh
26:34 wait.
26:36 Oh, final. Okay. Now write a single
26:41 prompt
26:44 I can give to a SFX
26:49 designer
26:51 to
26:55 make the sound for this video.
27:04 So
27:05 I was in midjourney had a cool image. I
27:09 what I I didn't share this part. What
27:11 popped in my head was it would be cool
27:12 to design a sound that that is as cool
27:15 as the image.
27:17 And so I took a screenshot went to
27:20 TachPT had it tell me a story about it.
27:22 Now I had it describe the sound. Now,
27:25 we've got this prompt,
27:30 which I don't know what it says, but it
27:32 doesn't matter. And now we'll go to 11
27:33 Labs
27:35 and go to sound effects
27:39 and go bang.
27:43 Yeah, we got most of it in there. Wait.
27:44 Designer Rich, hang on. Let's see. We
27:46 got to go back to chat GPT.
27:49 Um, way too long. Make it a single
27:54 paragraph
27:56 and lose lose
28:00 the instructions.
28:05 Just describe the sounds.
28:14 Okay, this we can read. A cold wind
28:16 whispers through the bare branches with
28:18 a thin reedy hiss as old wooden houses
28:21 groan.
28:22 A two flares ignite. Okay, this is good.
28:25 Perfect. Beautiful. We're going to go.
28:27 We're 11 labs now. Here we go. We're
28:31 going to type that in. It was still too
28:32 much, but that's all right. It's We've
28:34 got enough in there.
28:41 And you won't be able to hear this. So,
28:42 I'm going to change out my thing and
28:44 then change out my thing and then do
28:47 this and then do that and do that. How's
28:50 everybody doing tonight? Are you doing
28:52 okay there everybody?
28:54 You know, we're here. We're here on a
28:56 Tik Tok. We're here on a YouTube. You
28:59 might be watching this on the LinkedIn
29:01 going, "Well, this certainly doesn't
29:02 seem very professional. What's this
29:05 doing on LinkedIn, a professional
29:06 networking application hosted by the
29:09 Microsoft Corporation?
29:12 It seems like this has got some
29:13 shenanigans and some silliness in it
29:15 that's not appropriate for the LinkedIn
29:17 audience." It's a much more
29:19 conservative, much more corporate
29:21 approach.
29:23 Not quite sure what this is doing there.
29:24 How did How did this get through the
29:26 filters there at Microsoft
29:32 and we're on the X. We're on the X.
29:35 We're tame on the X. On the X, if you're
29:38 not telling someone they should just do
29:41 bad things, then you're not doing it.
29:43 And we don't do that. That's not what we
29:45 do here. So, we're boring on one side,
29:48 we're radical on the other side, and
29:50 then there's the Tik Tok people.
29:54 Good Lord knows they're a mess. Okay,
29:59 so here's the Let's see. Here is Hold,
30:04 please. Where's MidJourney? Okay, here's
30:07 our video.
30:13 All right, that's what we want sounds
30:15 for. So, oh, you can't see it. Never
30:17 mind. Never mind. I'm not changing my
30:19 tabs for you. Sorry.
30:22 Okay,
30:26 that's boring.
30:28 That's a no.
30:37 Uh, I'm going to say in a dark
30:42 and scary
30:46 forest.
30:48 A
30:50 young
30:52 girl holds up two flares
30:59 that sizzle into
31:02 I don't know, brightness.
31:06 You see? You see why I'm telling you
31:08 people, you got to stop using your
31:09 brain. We should not be using our brains
31:11 for this. Oops. That's not what I want.
31:14 I want to generate audio here. All
31:16 right, let's see if we can get something
31:18 better than what chat GPT gave us. Chad,
31:21 YouTube people rock.
31:24 Who made the waffles?
31:28 I'm changing out my thing. I I don't Are
31:31 you sure you want to admit that in
31:32 public there, buddy? Um,
31:35 I'd give that crap more credence if
31:39 associates hadn't made an identical
31:41 claim about writing. Oh, Socrates. Yeah,
31:43 exactly.
31:45 I have a little campfire in my backyard
31:47 enjoying many fireflies. That's nice.
31:50 Sing along time.
31:54 Am I late? Yeah, Mr. It is late. Pavin,
31:58 anyone used invito
32:01 and suggested it if it's worth
32:03 subscribing? I have no idea. All right.
32:10 Why are we still generating? Come on.
32:12 Come on, 11 Labs. You can do it faster
32:15 than this.
32:28 So, so one thing that I did want to do
32:30 tonight that I think could be fun is
32:36 come up with a scene,
32:39 animate it,
32:41 and then so in in MidJourney with the
32:44 video, you can extend you can extend
32:47 clips four times, but you can do a
32:50 different prompt for each of those
32:52 extensions. And I know you can do this
32:53 in other video tools, but I haven't
32:55 really played with it that much. So,
32:56 what I want to do is do like, you know,
32:59 we'll do the original animation, then
33:01 we'll have the camera move, then we'll
33:02 have it move up to a drone shot, then
33:05 maybe we'll, I don't know, do something
33:07 else.
33:09 Okay. Um, in a dark and scary forest.
33:13 It's still generating. Here we go. In a
33:15 dark and scary forest.
33:44 I think we're going to do all these.
33:45 Okay, here's what we're going to do.
33:48 Download
33:55 and then we're going to go download this
33:58 one.
33:59 All right. And then we're going to go to
34:01 mid journey. Oh, wait. I got to change
34:02 my things out. This is going to be fun.
34:04 We're going to make a little thing.
34:11 If you're not making little things, if
34:13 you're not just playing
34:16 with AI, first of all,
34:20 it's got to be boring.
34:24 But there there is there is uh there's a
34:29 kind of magic when you just generate
34:32 things
34:34 with zero expectations.
34:38 Um
34:41 one I think you learn faster.
34:43 All right. So we're going to download
34:45 that video. We're going to go back to
34:46 iMovie which I just closed right before
34:48 we came on here. iMovie
35:02 [Music]
35:07 Shink.
35:11 All right. Downloads. So, we've got that
35:14 is not what we wanted. That is what we
35:17 wanted. What's this? That's not what we
35:19 wanted. Okay. So, we want that video and
35:21 then we want
35:24 No.
35:26 [Music]
35:32 Yeah, we can throw that in there.
35:35 Oh, wait. But can I add more than one
35:37 audio clip in iMovie? I might not be
35:39 able to.
35:44 Let's see. We drag this in.
35:48 Let me drag this in.
35:51 Let me drag this in. Can I do it on top?
35:57 Yes.
35:59 And then I had one more.
36:06 That's the flares.
36:09 So, let's drag that in.
36:12 Yeah, I can. Okay, this is good, right?
36:15 And these all
36:18 Yeah.
36:20 like it. Okay. And let's get one more
36:22 audio file.
36:29 Yeah, that one. All right.
36:36 Did I max out my audio tracks? I did
36:38 not. Okay. So,
36:42 let's see this one.
36:54 and lower that.
36:59 [Music]
37:04 Okay. So, this
37:07 is the flare thing. So, let's see.
37:13 So that it should start
37:17 there.
37:28 Let's lower this thing.
37:37 Nice.
37:39 [Laughter]
37:43 You did it. Yay.
37:46 [Laughter]
37:48 Okay,
37:49 black bar. Fine. Yeah, blackberry lamb
37:53 jam lamb.
37:55 All right, there's that. You're welcome,
37:56 people.
37:59 That's because I care enough to give the
38:02 very best. Uhoh. What did I just do?
38:03 That was bad.
38:08 Okay, there's that.
38:13 There's that.
38:17 And there's that. Now, I don't know how
38:20 to
38:22 Let's see.
38:30 Can I go?
38:33 Oh, I know what I can do.
38:45 Oops.
39:10 Okay.
39:17 Nice. All right. We got a thing.
39:26 What is he doing? He doesn't ever talk
39:28 about what he's doing. We don't know
39:29 what he's doing. It's very confusing.
39:31 This channel doesn't make any sense to
39:33 me. Why do people watch this? It really
39:36 just doesn't make any sense.
39:38 Let's do Let's get
39:41 Yeah, we'll have it cooler. We'll have
39:43 it a little cooler. Let's get some
39:45 [ __ ] saturation going in. Well, maybe
39:48 not the saturation. Maybe Maybe the
39:51 duller the duller look is better.
39:54 Ah, nah. We'll do a little saturation.
39:56 We'll do a little Disney Tik Tok pin.
39:58 Corey Sandler.
40:00 Is it at all affordable to have
40:02 MidJourney 11 Labs and Cling? Thoughts
40:05 on MidJourney versus Cling? Well, I
40:07 haven't used Cling in a while, Corey.
40:10 So, 2.1 I've heard is good, but I
40:13 haven't played with it enough to have an
40:14 opinion on it. Um,
40:18 in my opinion right now,
40:25 the tools worth
40:27 the video tools worth paying for
40:32 are Hedra
40:34 for character animation. Like if you
40:35 want to take a song or a character and
40:38 animate it in a in a pretty realistic
40:40 way, Hedra is really good at that.
40:42 Hedra.ai.
40:44 V3 for acting for like characters that
40:49 are like, "Hey, Jim, how's it going
40:51 today?" I don't know, Bob. How is it
40:53 going today?
40:55 Like that kind of stuff. That's V3.
40:59 And we'll we'll play around with some
41:02 more midjourney video tonight. But the
41:03 midjourney video is just really good.
41:05 It's just good. It's it.
41:13 Here's the thing, Corey. I mean, as an
41:15 artist, you'll appreciate this. The
41:17 thing that midjourney video
41:22 does that is it's just blowing my socks
41:24 off,
41:26 and I never use that term.
41:30 I don't know where that came from.
41:33 um is
41:36 like it's I I hate to say this because
41:39 it's not what it's doing,
41:41 but it's deep artistic understanding of
41:46 the physics of the image that it's
41:47 animating. And not just the physics of
41:50 it, like the the artistic intent of it
41:54 is so good. So like if you have a flat
41:57 circuit drawing illustration, it'll just
42:00 do like cool circuit light up the
42:02 circuit kind of animations. But if you
42:04 have something like this, it isolates,
42:07 you know, it isolates
42:11 the smoke like cleanly and distinctly
42:14 from the background. It seems to have a
42:16 very very good understanding of the
42:19 world. Um, and but like better than
42:22 anything I've ever seen. And so you
42:25 start with a midjourney image that's
42:26 already got some level of sophistication
42:28 to it and then you animate it using this
42:30 tool. It's pretty [ __ ] special. All
42:33 right, let's export this. And this will
42:35 be fun. Well, you'll get to watch me
42:37 swear tonight
42:39 as I try to upload this file to Twitter.
42:46 What's this called? This is called
42:47 magic.
42:50 And once again, um, file management
42:53 strategy. Save all of your files loose
42:56 to the desktop and name them something
42:59 generic that you'll never be able to
43:01 remember or find again. That's that's
43:04 the way I I like to work. Now, listen,
43:06 not everyone likes to work that way.
43:08 Like what who I call the hierarchy
43:11 people where they actually want to find
43:13 something again. They'll do things like
43:15 make folders and then name files with
43:18 file names that actually make sense.
43:20 Sometimes they even have dates in them.
43:24 I don't understand.
43:33 Is he joking? I don't understand his
43:35 humor. Was that an attempt at humor? It
43:38 seemed like he was trying. It seemed
43:39 like he was waiting for a laugh there at
43:41 the end, which would imply to me that he
43:43 thought that was humorous.
43:46 Did But it do. We We do agree that
43:49 whatever he just said, it was not funny,
43:51 right? I mean, everybody agrees.
43:55 I I just I again I I think the fact that
43:58 you enjoy this channel, I mean, it's
44:01 it's a choice that you've made. Um
44:11 Let's go get our little our little
44:14 video.
44:20 That's so cool. All right.
44:24 And then we can go back to chat jet. And
44:27 what do we have over here? What did we
44:29 write before? A story, right?
44:32 Where is it? Where's our story?
44:37 In the misty heart of Elder Grove, a
44:39 forgotten village swallowed by the
44:40 shadows of time, a young girl named Esme
44:44 stands defiant.
44:46 Elder Grove was known for the whispering
44:47 woods and homes abandoned by villagers
44:49 after mysterious vanishings. Esme,
44:54 orphaned, resilient, discovered two
44:57 enchanted flares hidden beneath the
44:59 floorboards of a dilapidated home.
45:02 Actually, what we should do is take this
45:05 whole thing, turn it into a voice over,
45:08 and then make a whole flipping movie.
45:10 But that's like work.
45:14 That exhausts me. We're not using our
45:16 brain.
45:18 All right, let's let's tag some people
45:21 here. We're going to tag
45:23 Scoilizer because he's a fan and we like
45:26 him. He's got a big following. Um, we're
45:29 going to tag at midjourney
45:33 because their shit's the [ __ ] right now.
45:35 We're going to tag at
45:38 uh Oh, we didn't do 11 Labs at 11 Labs.
45:45 11 Labs.
45:49 And then we'll tag a few people. Hang
45:51 on. Hang on.
45:56 I'm a little teapot, short and stout.
45:59 Here is my handle. Here is my spout.
46:02 Yeah.
46:04 Take a little tea and dump it out. Pour
46:07 it out.
46:08 I'm a little teapot. Short and stout.
46:12 Yeah.
46:14 Should we tag Barack Obama? Let's do it.
46:21 Oh, by the way,
46:24 um
46:27 Musk announced today
46:30 that I think they're going into their
46:32 first trial of um
46:35 using Neurolink for blind people for
46:38 vision and they've had Neurolinks in a
46:42 monkey now for three years giving them
46:45 sight back.
46:47 Um, so that's pretty cool. Wait, did
46:50 this actually upload?
46:53 Look at that. It actually uploaded. All
46:55 right, so do me a favor, people. Head on
46:58 over to uh the Twitter.
47:01 Go to my go to my account, Kyle Shannon,
47:03 and find little Esme,
47:06 and and like her and forward her and
47:08 say, "More Esme, please or something
47:12 like that."
47:16 Oh, you know who else we should tag? We
47:17 should tag We used We used chat GPT for
47:20 this, didn't we? Yes, we did. Yes, we
47:23 did. You little snapper. All right, so
47:26 Barack Obama at OpenAI.
47:31 And then let's do uh at Samma
47:36 at Samma Alman. That's good.
47:43 H.
47:44 All right.
47:47 And you thought this channel was boring.
47:49 See what we just did there? Esme is
47:52 usually pronounc pronounced as Esme,
47:54 just to be pedantic. Thank you, Vicki.
47:58 Wait,
48:00 I don't
48:04 Hang on. Hang on. It's not Listen, one
48:08 of the things that you learn in this
48:09 world is you do not argue with Vicki.
48:12 She's right about everything. But let's
48:14 argue with Vicki.
48:16 [Laughter]
48:20 And it's it's not Vicki. It's not Kyle
48:22 that's arguing with Vicki. It's Quinn.
48:28 Quinn, we have a dispute.
48:33 Oh, a dispute, huh? Yeah. Well, um, so
48:38 the the character in the story that's on
48:40 screen right now is E Sme, and I'm
48:43 pronouncing it Esme, and Vicki says it's
48:47 Esme or Esme. How How do we pronounce
48:50 it?
48:54 You know, that's a really common
48:56 question. The name Esme can actually be
48:58 pronounced both ways depending on where
49:00 you're from. Esme is pretty common in
49:03 the US while Esme is more common in the
49:06 UK or France. So really, you both have a
49:08 point. So you So what you're saying is
49:10 Vicki is fancier than I am.
49:16 Well, you could say that the Esme
49:19 pronunciation does have a bit of a fancy
49:21 flare to it, but on So So you're saying
49:24 I'm a pile of white trash?
49:29 Oh, not at all. There's absolutely
49:31 nothing wrong with how you say it.
49:33 Pronunciations are just a fun way to
49:35 show a bit. You know, it would be nice
49:37 if she weren't such a kiss ass. She
49:40 fancy.
49:46 Oh my god.
49:48 Okay. Corey says, "Esme too." Yeah, but
49:53 Corey, you're you're in Canada.
49:57 In Canada, you say things different.
50:00 You know,
50:03 a
50:05 see what I did there? I didn't say
50:07 right. I said a because it's like a
50:10 hockey thing. A Huh?
50:15 You know, just crack a Molson. It's
50:18 another Canada joke. Get it?
50:25 C. At some point, Corey Sandler's gonna
50:27 fly down from Canada and just kick my
50:30 ass.
50:32 You don't pick on Canada. We're not the
50:34 51st state. Here's a pot.
50:42 Oh, good lord. All right. What are we
50:43 going to do? Do Should we start the
50:45 show?
50:46 What do you want to do?
50:49 Anybody got any questions? Thoughts?
50:51 Thoughts? Questions?
50:56 Oh man.
50:59 [Music]
51:02 There we go.
51:07 [Music]
51:11 How's your appliance business? Oh, so
51:15 for those of you earlier this week
51:19 I had on my air conditioner. It kept
51:21 turning off and I'm like, "Ah, crap.
51:23 It's probably full of dirt or something.
51:25 I'm like, it's broken. And then after
51:29 the show, I went and looked at it and it
51:31 it was just turned up to like 75
51:33 degrees. So, every time it turned on,
51:36 it's like, it's already this hot and it
51:38 just turned off. Should have asked
51:40 Quinn. Oh, man.
51:44 Oh, yes, please start so I can get
51:46 working on mastermind spaces. Yeah. Um,
51:49 let me let me see what we're gonna do do
51:51 here tonight. Oh, you know what? Let me
51:53 go talk a little bit about about the AI
51:56 salon. So, if you don't know the AI
51:59 salon, jump over to that URL right
52:02 there, the salon.ai,
52:05 and um and click on join our community.
52:08 And if you are a part of the AI salon,
52:10 awesome. Um the AI salon, there's
52:13 there's a number of things going on. Um,
52:15 one is that that um
52:18 last week we lost one of our um
52:23 our favorite members. um she passed away
52:26 unexpectedly
52:28 and
52:29 um it was a big loss to the community
52:33 and Tobias who's on the call tonight has
52:35 a printing company and we put together
52:41 some like a sticker pack a sticker set
52:47 and I just want to show it to you. So,
52:49 if you go to the AI salon,
52:53 tab, tab, tab. Wait,
52:57 am I not sharing the thing again? Oh,
53:00 I'm not.
53:02 Thought I was.
53:06 Okay, there we go. Um,
53:10 so if you in in the AI salon, if you
53:13 scroll down to where it says clubs and
53:15 hubs, right at the top is is the
53:17 irregulars channel. And that's the
53:18 channel here. And um this is where you
53:22 can share stuff you've worked on. And
53:24 we've got archives of the shows and
53:26 there's a chat. But the fourth little
53:28 tab over on the top is remembering
53:30 Serena.
53:32 And here's the sticker set that you can
53:34 buy. Tobias has very generously donated
53:40 um all of the printing and all of the
53:42 materials for these stickers. So, it's a
53:45 $20 donation and 100% of any any
53:49 stickers that you buy are going to
53:51 Serena's family. So, I just wanted to
53:53 share it because I I didn't talk about
53:55 it kind of the middle of this week and
53:57 because it's Friday, um I didn't I
53:58 didn't want to let go. I saw Tobias in
54:00 here and realized we haven't talked
54:02 about it in a while. But, you actually
54:03 get three stickers. You get the am I
54:05 late, we're not weird, we're we're
54:06 irregular stickers. So Serena's the one
54:08 that actually came up with the name
54:10 Irregulars for the name of the people
54:12 that show up here night after night. You
54:14 get an official AI salon sticker and
54:16 then there's a little remembrance, a
54:17 memorial sticker in there as well. Um so
54:21 um so if you want to support her family,
54:23 100% of the proceeds of that go straight
54:26 to her family. And Tobias is handling
54:29 all of the um what's it called? The the
54:32 fulfillment. He did the printing. Um and
54:36 you know so so thank you to Tobias and
54:38 uh and you know rest in peace to Serena
54:41 and please support their family. So I
54:43 wanted to say that um other things in
54:46 the AI salon hang on I got to do some
54:49 physical dexterity on Tik Tok or they
54:52 will cancel the show. Done. Um
54:57 when you get to the AI salon down the
54:59 lefth hand side there's a little
55:01 sevenstep sort of welcome process. So,
55:03 you come in and there's a there's a
55:05 welcome video from myself and Leah
55:07 Faston who's the the co-founder with me
55:09 of the salon. We talk about AI
55:12 readiness. We talk about the five stages
55:14 of AI adoption.
55:16 Step number two in this process is
55:18 introduce yourself. If you have not
55:20 introduced yourself to the community,
55:22 please go introduce yourself to the
55:24 community. Okay. Um, we've got a tab
55:28 that talks about our values. You can
55:30 watch past meetings. You can RSB VP for
55:32 the next event. There's a little chat
55:34 area and then there's information about
55:36 joining the mastermind. Now, the
55:37 mastermind is a subscription area of the
55:41 salon
55:43 for people that want to step up their
55:44 game. We've got it at a ridiculously low
55:47 price for all of 2025. And you come in
55:49 as a founding mastermind member, you get
55:52 a badge in the community, which is kind
55:54 of cool. You'll have that forever. Um
55:56 and uh and we we have uh founders
56:00 meetings on and leaders meetings on
56:04 Friday for mastermind members. Um and if
56:08 you scroll down the lefthand side, any
56:10 of the spaces that you see that have the
56:12 little crown beside them is part of the
56:14 mastermind. All right? And so you can
56:16 see all the stuff that you've got access
56:18 to and and uh things like that if you
56:21 join. So if you um if you want to take
56:24 your AI game to the next level, come
56:26 join that. All right. And we just we
56:28 just launched it. Like it literally
56:30 launched three weeks ago. Two. Yeah.
56:33 Three weeks ago. Um and so one of the
56:36 nice things about joining it this early
56:38 is you actually have a say in what it's
56:40 going to be. And one of the things
56:42 Vickiy's working on, if I would ever
56:44 shut up, is she's adding some spaces
56:46 into the mastermind, like a general chat
56:49 conversation area for the people that
56:51 are a part of it. And what's nice about
56:54 it is it's just a much more focused, you
56:56 know, these are people that are kind of
56:57 stepping up and saying, "Hey, yeah, I
56:58 really want to take this AI stuff
57:00 seriously." So the the people that are
57:02 in it are they're pretty killer. They're
57:04 pretty awesome people. So uh so if
57:07 you're awesome, join.
57:09 If not, you know,
57:12 we only want awesome.
57:15 Refresh and see just one of the new
57:17 spaces. Okay, cool. Let's go look.
57:21 [Music]
57:26 I do not see it. Uhuh.
57:30 Do I have to
57:34 maybe I have to subscribe to it.
57:37 Member chat. Yeah, join as host. For
57:40 some reason, I don't get auto added to
57:42 these things.
57:44 Yeah. So, there's a member chat. So,
57:48 so if you're part of the mastermind
57:51 here, I'm going to put I'm going to put
57:52 the first post in the member chat. Um,
57:56 hey all you
58:00 uh founding masterminds,
58:04 what up?
58:08 See, I put I put in I put in posts that
58:11 are important for the community to see.
58:18 Oh, man. All right. Cool. Groovy. So,
58:21 that's that.
58:23 Um,
58:34 what else are you thinking? What's going
58:35 on? What should what should I be what
58:37 should I be talking about?
58:46 Jim Ross and what he demoed in office
58:48 hours. Oh, yeah.
58:51 Um, that's not bad.
58:54 Wait, Tik Tok pin. All right, Tik Tok
58:56 pin.
59:00 Had to walk away. Sorry. What's
59:01 mastermind? Oh, sorry, Corey. So
59:04 mastermind is a new um subscription area
59:07 of of the salon. So the core community
59:09 remains free. Uh and it's an area where
59:12 we've put the clubs and hubs and the um
59:15 some of the training areas, the tool
59:17 tips. Um and it's basically just a more
59:20 focused um area of the salon for people
59:24 that want to kind of take it to the next
59:25 level. And we're just getting it off the
59:27 ground and sort of figuring out what we
59:29 want it to be. But it's going to be
59:30 things like when we do those learn out
59:32 louds, um if you see them live, they're
59:35 available to anyone, but the recordings
59:37 of those are going to go into a
59:38 resources area within the mastermind. So
59:41 there's going to be a lot of recorded
59:42 resources. There's going to be a lot of
59:44 trainings. Um uh um
59:50 Dr. Jay uh Claire
59:55 Claire is doing a 4-week kind of
59:57 prompting self-help seminar coming up
1:00:00 that's going to be for masterminds only.
1:00:02 Masterminds only. So it's just a it's a
1:00:04 subscription area of the salon. U Tik
1:00:07 Tok question. So you are more about
1:00:11 using the AI tools built rather than
1:00:14 learning building AI tools. Correct
1:00:16 Carl. So here's the deal.
1:00:20 I'll give you a little bit about my
1:00:22 background. So, I'm a storyteller by
1:00:25 training. I have a fine arts degree. I
1:00:27 moved to New York City out of school,
1:00:28 started and ran a theater company, wrote
1:00:30 a bunch of screenplays, was doing, you
1:00:32 know, desktop publishing as my day job
1:00:34 in the mid 90s when the worldwide web
1:00:37 showed up. Um, I started one of the
1:00:39 first online magazines, an art and
1:00:41 culture magazine called Urban Desires.
1:00:43 and I co-founded agency.com which was
1:00:45 one of the first digital agencies.
1:00:49 The thing that
1:00:52 the worldwide web did was it
1:00:55 democratized
1:00:57 the internet, right? The internet had
1:00:59 been around for decades
1:01:01 and but to use it you had to be command
1:01:04 line and it was basically librarians and
1:01:06 researchers and scientists use the
1:01:08 internet and then Tim Berners Lee comes
1:01:10 up with this hypertext transfer pro
1:01:13 protocol and and this thing called the
1:01:16 hyperlink and right all of a sudden the
1:01:17 internet became as simple as clicking
1:01:20 right and so what happens is you have
1:01:22 this internet that's this incred
1:01:24 incredibly powerful tool for a small
1:01:26 population of people all of a sudden is
1:01:28 available to the 98.5% of people that
1:01:31 are not engineers.
1:01:33 Chat GPT in my opinion marks that
1:01:36 identical moment for artificial
1:01:39 intelligence and machine learning where
1:01:41 prior to November 30th, 2022, you pretty
1:01:44 much had to be a mathematician or a
1:01:47 coder or a you know researcher um to
1:01:50 understand what AI was, how you train
1:01:53 it. You had to train it. You had to
1:01:55 bring your own data. You had to
1:01:57 understand data sources, right? and and
1:02:00 you had to be able to clean data and get
1:02:02 it in there in a in a focused kind of
1:02:04 way. And then you had to understand the
1:02:06 math and the waitings and the right and
1:02:08 the embeddings and the tokenization and
1:02:09 all that [ __ ] I mean, it's not
1:02:12 [ __ ] It's why we can do what we do.
1:02:15 But if you're not an engineer, if you're
1:02:17 not a mathematician, that stuff is
1:02:19 completely overwhelming. So chat GPT
1:02:22 does the exact same thing. this channel
1:02:24 and the AI salon. I started these the
1:02:27 week after chat GPT launched. So yeah,
1:02:30 this channel is primarily about how do
1:02:33 we use these tools now that we have them
1:02:36 rather than building the you know
1:02:37 building the models. So good insight and
1:02:40 and yes and a lot of people come in here
1:02:43 and they're like what are your
1:02:44 qualifications you know expecting me to
1:02:46 say wow I'm a triple PhD from MIT with a
1:02:49 little a little smattering of machine
1:02:51 learning from Stamford. I was sluming it
1:02:53 out in California, if I know what I
1:02:55 mean.
1:02:57 That ain't me.
1:03:03 Now you just have to know how to be
1:03:04 detailed and and nicely asked questions
1:03:06 of the robots. Yeah, exactly. MCP, keep
1:03:09 hearing about it. Um, I can talk about
1:03:11 MCP. So MCP is called model context
1:03:15 protocol.
1:03:16 Fancy name. What's that mean, Kyle? I
1:03:19 don't [ __ ] know.
1:03:23 what
1:03:24 what model context protocol is. Okay, so
1:03:28 in in today's world of computing,
1:03:34 let me use a very a specific example
1:03:37 that everyone will know. If I want to
1:03:40 create an iPhone app that's got a map
1:03:42 function in it, right?
1:03:46 One way I could create that app is I
1:03:48 figure out what I want the app to do and
1:03:51 then I go launch a bunch of satellites
1:03:53 and come up with some mapping technology
1:03:56 and you know buy some map data and and
1:04:00 figure out how to render the maps or I
1:04:03 could just do an API call to goo the
1:04:07 Google maps API. So if you want to
1:04:10 create software, you're basically doing
1:04:11 API calls out to different services
1:04:15 where companies like Google say, "Hey,
1:04:17 if you want to put our maps in your
1:04:20 application, all you have to do is get a
1:04:21 fancy little key here and, you know,
1:04:24 point your your servers over here and
1:04:27 you can use our maps for free and we've
1:04:28 got satellites everywhere and it's
1:04:31 worldclass maps and you just get to use
1:04:32 them, right? Or you pay us, you know, a
1:04:34 fraction of a penny anytime someone uses
1:04:36 it.
1:04:40 APIs are incredibly powerful, but they
1:04:45 require engineers to be able to write
1:04:47 software to call them and manage them
1:04:49 and things like that. MCP is kind of an
1:04:53 API of APIs. So, so if I want to use
1:04:57 maps that are like on a website, um, or
1:05:00 if I want to, um, go check all of my
1:05:03 posts on LinkedIn, what MCP does is it
1:05:06 kind of makes, um, data for any site or
1:05:09 any service available within uh, it
1:05:13 started out in Claude in Anthropics
1:05:15 Claude, but but MCP is now being adopted
1:05:18 by um, OpenAI and lots of other
1:05:21 companies. And and basically what it's
1:05:23 going to look like is this. Um ChatGpt
1:05:27 about a month ago launched this thing
1:05:28 called connectors where you could
1:05:31 connect chat GPT to Google Drive or to
1:05:34 your Gmail or to things like that. It
1:05:36 doesn't work very well. It's janky. It's
1:05:39 not great. MCP stuff is okay, but it's
1:05:42 janky and not great. What it's going to
1:05:45 be is a completely transparent layer
1:05:49 where you can just say, "Hey, I want to
1:05:51 create a custom GPT kind of thing, but I
1:05:54 want it to be able to go surf, you know,
1:05:56 the New York Times website and, you
1:05:58 know, using my subscription and I want
1:06:00 it to be able to go over here and get
1:06:01 data over here." So, it's basically like
1:06:04 a a a
1:06:07 universal API
1:06:10 um kind of key for lots and lots of
1:06:12 different websites.
1:06:13 anyone who's got a website can say you
1:06:16 can come use my data if they put it in
1:06:17 this MCP format and it allows large
1:06:21 language models to use those tools. So I
1:06:26 think that makes sense if it didn't
1:06:28 that's fine too just let me know. Um
1:06:31 Kyle is all the energy that is needed to
1:06:33 support AI wait is Kyle is all the
1:06:36 energy that is needed to support AI is
1:06:39 it sustainable
1:06:41 A to A? I don't know what A2A means. Um,
1:06:47 oh, agent to agent.
1:06:50 Um,
1:06:55 energy is
1:07:00 the needs the the needs for energy
1:07:05 for artificial intelligence are climbing
1:07:08 precipitously.
1:07:10 Um
1:07:14 the other thing that's growing
1:07:15 precipitously is is the efficiency of
1:07:19 the models. Um but I think I think our
1:07:22 desire to have these things be smarter
1:07:24 and smarter is going to mean that the
1:07:25 energy consumption curve is going to
1:07:27 grow. So that's why you have things like
1:07:29 like Starlink which is open AI's how
1:07:32 many how many billion dollars is that
1:07:33 104$40 billion that that Soft Bank and a
1:07:37 bunch of other rich companies have have
1:07:40 basically said they're going to they're
1:07:42 they're funding this $40 billion um data
1:07:46 center with all the energy generation
1:07:48 built into it. Um
1:07:51 so we're going to need lots and lots of
1:07:53 energy. Absolutely.
1:07:56 It's not as bad as a lot of people are
1:08:00 saying it is because the the tools are
1:08:01 getting more and more efficient, but
1:08:04 we're wanting more like more and more
1:08:05 people are using the tools. So, the the
1:08:07 the demand is going up. Couple of things
1:08:09 are going to go on. I think I think this
1:08:12 is going to drive um alternative energy.
1:08:16 I think AI at some point probably in the
1:08:18 next five years is going to crack fusion
1:08:20 or fision, you know, like like uh fision
1:08:23 re reactors. So, I think we're probably
1:08:26 going to have abundant energy sources
1:08:28 about the time the energy demands go
1:08:31 dramat dramatically high.
1:08:35 Here's my thought on it right now.
1:08:40 There are a fair amount of AI doomers
1:08:44 that are using any excuse they can as an
1:08:47 excuse for them to stay on the
1:08:49 sidelines. Oh, it uses too much energy.
1:08:52 Oh, it's Oh, it's a, you know, it's it
1:08:54 steals from artists. Oh, it's the
1:08:56 world's greatest plagiarism machine. Oh,
1:08:57 it hallucinates. Oh, it right. There's
1:09:00 there's all of these reasons why AI is
1:09:02 evil. The robots are going to kill us.
1:09:07 All that's doing is keeping them on the
1:09:10 sidelines. AI is not slowing down. It's
1:09:13 not going away. The premise of this
1:09:15 channel is
1:09:19 it is my very very very very deep belief
1:09:27 that AI is not going away. It's not a
1:09:30 fad.
1:09:33 It's some of the most profoundly
1:09:35 powerful technology. No, it is likely
1:09:38 the most powerful
1:09:41 technology in the history of humanity.
1:09:44 I really believe that. You don't have to
1:09:46 believe that. I really believe that. But
1:09:48 what I know is it's not going away.
1:09:52 And if that's true, if that's not true,
1:09:55 then I wouldn't follow this channel
1:09:57 because the only the whole point of this
1:09:59 channel is if AI is not going away and
1:10:03 it's getting better and better and
1:10:04 better,
1:10:06 you have two choices.
1:10:08 It's it is it is literally binary.
1:10:13 You can deal with it or not.
1:10:18 Those are the only two choices.
1:10:21 And me personally,
1:10:25 first of all, it's exciting as [ __ ] AI,
1:10:29 AI is an amplifier of whatever you put
1:10:31 in it. So if you take your ideas and
1:10:34 your vision and your worldview and you
1:10:36 put it into AI, it reflects it back to
1:10:39 you in this incredibly amplified way.
1:10:42 So, it's a it's a it's a humanity
1:10:44 amplifier. It's like a it's like a
1:10:46 genius maker for anyone that that takes
1:10:50 the time to put who they are into this
1:10:52 thing. It turns them into a genius. It's
1:10:54 not the genius. You are, but you got to
1:10:57 use it.
1:10:59 So, there's something incredibly
1:11:00 exciting about that. And and just where
1:11:02 I sit,
1:11:04 those two choices are quite stark. One
1:11:07 is at a minimum I understand what's
1:11:09 happening. And even if I can't control
1:11:11 it, I at least know the size and scale
1:11:14 of the wave that's coming at us. If I'm
1:11:16 over here, AI just happens to me.
1:11:21 I got no control. I've got no education.
1:11:24 I've got no upskill. All I've got is
1:11:27 some, you know, some welljustified
1:11:30 armcrossed, you know, AI is evil. Okay,
1:11:36 it ain't going away. YouTube comments.
1:11:41 [Music]
1:11:43 Doughboy on Tik Tok. I do think it will
1:11:46 eventually destroy us, but I'm gonna
1:11:48 embrace it until then. Yeah. Listen,
1:11:50 here's the thing.
1:11:55 An asteroid could destroy us. AI could
1:11:57 destroy us. Climate change could destroy
1:11:59 us. World War II could destroy. Like,
1:12:02 there's a lot of things that could
1:12:03 destroy us.
1:12:05 I'm living in the I'm living in the the
1:12:07 world of what is in my control right
1:12:09 now. What is in my control right now is
1:12:12 to be as educated as I possibly can
1:12:17 about what these tools make possible for
1:12:19 real today.
1:12:23 Like could I play out scenarios where AI
1:12:25 goes rogue and kills us all? Sure. Has
1:12:29 that happened yet? Nope.
1:12:32 Can I make cool animations and pictures
1:12:34 with MidJourney? Yep.
1:12:36 Can it help me write sales and marketing
1:12:40 messages for my business? Yep.
1:12:46 So, yeah. So, I'm with you. It might do
1:12:48 that, but that's not in my control.
1:12:52 It may not destroy us directly. Question
1:12:54 is, is the future dystopia or utopia?
1:12:58 You know, it's funny, Joker. Um Sam
1:13:00 Alman in the interview with his brother
1:13:02 that we watched a little bit of it the
1:13:04 other night,
1:13:07 his brother asked him like, you know
1:13:09 what, like
1:13:13 how might this not happen?
1:13:16 And what Sam Alman said was,
1:13:18 you know,
1:13:20 there is a possibility
1:13:23 that not only do we get AGI, but we get
1:13:26 artificial super intelligence, right?
1:13:28 where where the artificial intelligence
1:13:29 is smarter by far than any human on
1:13:32 Earth or or you know even potentially
1:13:34 all of the humans on Earth
1:13:38 and and just nothing happens. Nothing
1:13:40 really changes. We keep doing what we're
1:13:42 doing and we've got these hyper
1:13:45 intelligent entities off to the side and
1:13:48 you know there's some people leveraging
1:13:50 them and taking advantage of them and
1:13:51 starting up billion-dollar businesses
1:13:53 with one people but the world ostensibly
1:13:55 doesn't change. So, so a possibility is
1:13:58 that we hit super intelligence and
1:14:00 nothing really changes,
1:14:03 you know, and then and then there's
1:14:05 there's probably varying grades of
1:14:08 things get marginally better, things get
1:14:11 dramatically better, things get holy
1:14:13 [ __ ] better, and then things are
1:14:15 transformed to the point of utopia, and
1:14:17 then I think you've got a gradated scale
1:14:19 going toward dystopia. Um,
1:14:23 my experience in life is that nothing
1:14:26 really ever happens on those extremes.
1:14:28 Everything kind of happens in the
1:14:29 middle.
1:14:31 So, I don't know.
1:14:34 But what I do know is
1:14:37 the week after Chat GPT came out,
1:14:41 I created a fully functional Python
1:14:44 application
1:14:45 that was making API calls to OpenAI
1:14:50 servers,
1:14:51 never having written a line of Python in
1:14:54 my life.
1:14:56 This is not just an efficiency tool.
1:14:58 This is one of my pet peeves of how
1:15:00 people think about AI is, oh, it'll
1:15:03 we'll just take what we do and it'll
1:15:05 make it more efficient. No, no, no. This
1:15:08 is this is not the computer that our
1:15:11 grandparents knew.
1:15:13 We're the grandparents. This is this is
1:15:16 not the computer that we grew up with.
1:15:18 It's doing something different. Um, and
1:15:21 so this channel is about being there
1:15:24 like being in the conversation five
1:15:26 nights a week. so that I personally
1:15:29 don't lose touch with what's happening.
1:15:32 And then there's a bunch of people that
1:15:33 show up here night after night after
1:15:35 night, not because they're weird, but
1:15:38 because they're irregular,
1:15:40 for the same reason, for the community,
1:15:43 for understanding, for just being in the
1:15:45 conversation.
1:15:48 Because again,
1:15:50 when the tools get better or when some
1:15:54 big change happens in the world,
1:15:57 people that are AI forward and
1:15:59 understand these tools are going to be
1:16:00 able to adapt to that really, really
1:16:02 quickly. And other people aren't, and
1:16:04 that makes me sad. Um, not your daddy's
1:16:07 Oldsmobile. Exactly. Exactly. I've
1:16:11 created dozens of things that would
1:16:12 otherwise not exist. Yeah, exactly. Yes.
1:16:15 Well, we're happy to join you. Thank
1:16:16 you, Doughboy. I'm weird. I'm embracing
1:16:19 it, baby. You listen, you can be both
1:16:22 irregular and weird.
1:16:25 I I would argue that the irregulars are
1:16:28 deliluding themselves into thinking
1:16:30 they're not weird.
1:16:32 They've just repackaged it.
1:16:40 Oh, man. All right.
1:16:43 Um,
1:16:45 how we doing time wise? Let's Let's go
1:16:47 play a little.
1:16:49 Um,
1:16:53 actually, this might be the scene to do
1:16:55 it with.
1:17:08 All right. So, we Okay. So, so here's
1:17:10 here's
1:17:12 here's what I want to experiment with.
1:17:13 Oh, wait. We're not we're not live. Hang
1:17:15 on a sec because I'm not sharing. I am
1:17:18 sharing. Hang on. Hold on. There we go.
1:17:25 Where?
1:17:27 Yeah, there we go. Okay.
1:17:30 Um,
1:17:36 hang on. Dog. Dog is looking for cheese.
1:17:39 Hold please. What's up, champ? You want
1:17:42 cheese?
1:17:44 Are there people out there?
1:18:06 Okay. So, what I want to experiment with
1:18:08 is so MidJourney's got this new video
1:18:11 model that's really quite amazing.
1:18:15 Um,
1:18:18 and you can extend it four times of four
1:18:20 seconds each. So, so you start out with
1:18:22 an initial 5-second video and then you
1:18:25 can do 4 444. So, you can do 21 seconds
1:18:28 total,
1:18:30 but for each of those additional
1:18:32 segments, you can give it its own
1:18:34 prompt.
1:18:36 Um, and so you can do like sophisticated
1:18:38 camera moves and things like that.
1:18:41 So, let's go to chat GPT for a second
1:18:44 and say,
1:18:46 um, how would I
1:18:50 describe a
1:18:55 camera move
1:18:58 that
1:19:01 um,
1:19:05 goes high in the air and turns turns to
1:19:11 face the house
1:19:14 looking down on Esme. Esme. If we want
1:19:19 to be fancy about it, it's Esme.
1:19:22 Hello. Hello, father. Father. Father.
1:19:26 Yes. Esme. It's Esme.
1:19:34 Looking down on Esme.
1:19:37 um through
1:19:39 the pink smoke.
1:19:45 Okay, you could describe it. The camera
1:19:46 cranes high into the air in a smooth
1:19:48 vertical rise, ascending through the
1:19:50 swirling pink smoke. As it reaches its
1:19:53 apex, it executes a slow overhead arc,
1:19:56 rotating to look straight down. The shot
1:19:58 settles into a top-down god's eye view,
1:20:01 revealing Eme.
1:20:04 It's Esme,
1:20:06 not Esme.
1:20:09 It's Esme. Okay. Centered below, small,
1:20:12 defiant, framed by the glowing tendrils
1:20:15 of magical smoke as they curl. Okay. Do
1:20:17 I want a more technical storyboard
1:20:19 style? Yeah, that's good. Let's try
1:20:21 that. So, we're going to go back to
1:20:23 chat. Japeta.
1:20:25 And then we're going to do I guess this
1:20:27 would be high motion.
1:20:29 So I'm clicking on So down here in the
1:20:32 lower right hand corner.
1:20:35 If you want to animate a still image,
1:20:38 you use these buttons. And if you want
1:20:40 to extend a video, you also use these
1:20:43 buttons. And so you've got automatic,
1:20:46 low movement, high movement, and manual
1:20:49 low movement, high movement. So I'm
1:20:51 going to do manual, high, high movement.
1:20:53 Okay. So let's see. Magic motion high.
1:20:59 the camera cranes high into the air. All
1:21:01 right. Boom. Let's see what we get.
1:21:05 And while those are rendering,
1:21:10 let's go look at some of the other
1:21:11 videos we made.
1:21:19 A drone with a 4K GoPro will work. Very
1:21:22 nice. We're fancy. We're about to a boot
1:21:25 instead of about. Exactly. Only 3.7,000
1:21:29 likes. Yeah. What's up, people? Get
1:21:32 tapping the screen.
1:21:34 Tap tap away. All right,
1:21:37 [Music]
1:21:40 there's these people walking around.
1:21:41 There's Esme.
1:21:44 Oh, yeah. This is the one I didn't think
1:21:45 it would do too well.
1:21:48 It's pretty good.
1:21:54 Like it really seems to understand
1:22:00 like it's not it's it it is in no way
1:22:02 trying to make anything in this image
1:22:05 3D.
1:22:06 Everything's in flat planes which makes
1:22:08 sense considering the image.
1:22:16 Huh.
1:22:21 Very cool.
1:22:24 Oh, I love that one with the fireworks
1:22:27 and like they're all the same exact
1:22:29 paper cut
1:22:31 of fireworks. Very nice.
1:22:38 What up people? Oh, what up people? Yo,
1:22:41 Jason was shaking.
1:22:43 Mid Journey has a secret saucy sauce
1:22:46 under the hood. They really do. This
1:22:48 video model is is it's very special.
1:22:52 It's very You know what it You know what
1:22:53 it has? It It is It's the special sauce.
1:22:56 It's got
1:22:58 It's just got an aesthetic something
1:23:00 that the other video models don't have.
1:23:07 They got to They got to do audio though.
1:23:10 They They got to They got to They got to
1:23:12 bring this thing in. So it can compete
1:23:14 with V3,
1:23:16 right? If she were actually talking
1:23:17 there like V3.
1:23:21 That's great.
1:23:31 Okay, here's our
1:23:35 So that didn't work.
1:23:48 Nope.
1:24:04 Okay, so those are all fails.
1:24:06 Fascinating. Okay, so let's go back to
1:24:08 chat. Jeet
1:24:11 and say that failed miserably.
1:24:17 Just give me a more technical
1:24:23 description
1:24:29 for the camera move and what is in
1:24:34 frame.
1:24:42 [Music]
1:24:45 in China got digital twins that sold a
1:24:47 few million dollars in sales on live
1:24:49 video. Yep.
1:24:58 [Music]
1:25:03 That's a fail. Well, it was a fail for
1:25:04 what we were trying to do. No, it looked
1:25:07 be th those look beautiful, but what I
1:25:08 was trying to do was get it to dolly up
1:25:12 and shoot down on on Esme. So So
1:25:15 basically, we have a shot where it's
1:25:17 zooming in on her and then I wanted it
1:25:18 to go up and look down.
1:25:21 All right. So let's try this.
1:25:26 Go back here. And then I think we got to
1:25:28 go back and find
1:25:32 What's that? That's just the image.
1:25:35 So, which one was it? This one.
1:25:40 This one.
1:25:44 Okay. So, we're going to do manual.
1:25:46 We'll do manual low motion
1:25:52 and then camera starts on a vertical
1:25:55 crane up
1:25:57 rising above. uh instead of Esme the
1:26:00 girl
1:26:02 the the person
1:26:04 because we don't know. Oh no. Did I Did
1:26:06 I submit it? I submitted it. Damn it.
1:26:09 All right. Hang on.
1:26:23 There's the start frame.
1:26:28 Let's see. Above the person. That might
1:26:32 have been why it didn't work because it
1:26:34 was Esme. We don't know who Esme is. In
1:26:37 fact, let's go back to chat. Jete. Um,
1:26:41 hey,
1:26:43 just realized
1:26:47 the system doesn't know who Esme is. So
1:26:56 describe her as a character
1:27:02 uh
1:27:04 visually.
1:27:08 Okay, let's see what that does. Oh, here
1:27:11 we go. Good catch. Camera starts as it
1:27:13 ascends uh above the character. It
1:27:16 descends, tilts downward to face back
1:27:19 down. Zenith view
1:27:23 camera performs
1:27:25 feet above a young girl standing in a
1:27:27 clearing. All right,
1:27:30 we'll do this one. We'll say the young
1:27:34 girl instead of a young girl. We don't
1:27:37 want it to sound like it's different
1:27:40 of
1:27:44 the young girl
1:27:46 with the flares.
1:27:52 All right.
1:27:58 Okay. So, what did we get? Let's see.
1:28:01 What did we get here? Do we have
1:28:04 anything resembling success?
1:28:06 Uh, no. Oh, wait. Maybe sort of. Hang
1:28:12 on. I got to move my window.
1:28:19 So, this is in the neighborhood. It's at
1:28:21 least following up with the smoke.
1:28:32 All right. Here's the next one.
1:28:38 Yeah. So, that's working sort of.
1:28:42 Not really what I was looking for, but
1:28:44 that's okay.
1:28:46 This is why we play.
1:28:49 Oh, god. That thing.
1:28:52 You can thank uh Tim Cook for that
1:28:55 window covering up everything. Why it
1:28:57 covers up why it jumps that thing around
1:29:00 is beyond me. I have no idea. Oh, I know
1:29:02 why it might be actually.
1:29:05 Hang on.
1:29:08 Because it's off screen. So, I bet
1:29:13 if I did this,
1:29:17 and then did this,
1:29:20 and then come over here and do this, and
1:29:22 then come over here and do this. Yeah,
1:29:24 it doesn't [ __ ] up anymore. All right, I
1:29:26 just learned something new. Yay. I'm Mr.
1:29:29 Smartyp Pants.
1:29:33 All right. So, we're coming in
1:29:37 and we're
1:29:39 not following the camera directions at
1:29:42 all.
1:29:46 Okay.
1:29:53 All right. Does anyone on the channel
1:29:55 has anyone been playing with extending
1:29:58 midjourney videos in a way that you can
1:30:00 actually get decent camera control? Has
1:30:02 anybody had a relatively dis decent
1:30:05 computer for sale that's upgradable and
1:30:08 not half a decade old? I need one too,
1:30:11 Doughboy. I need one for my racing rig.
1:30:13 I haven't I haven't sim raced in two
1:30:16 years because of this channel. And I
1:30:18 fried my I fried my handme-down computer
1:30:21 for my kids because I got a I got a
1:30:23 graphics card from from Facebook
1:30:26 Marketplace for free and it fried my
1:30:28 computer. So So I'm I'm down a racing
1:30:31 rig.
1:30:36 Um All right. I don't know how to do
1:30:37 that [ __ ] So Vicki wants me to go to a
1:30:40 regular. So let's go to a regular. What
1:30:42 are you doing in a regular?
1:30:48 Hey, it's Kyle Shannon. Here I am in
1:30:51 irregulars.
1:30:54 What am I looking at here? Oh, refresh.
1:30:58 Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
1:31:00 Understood. Got to refresh. I still
1:31:03 don't see what I'm looking at here.
1:31:04 Vicki. Oh, this one. Is this Esme? Oh,
1:31:08 she's gonna say it's Esme. I know what's
1:31:10 happening here. I'm being trolled.
1:31:14 I'm being trolled, people. You don't
1:31:16 understand. You think it's easy being
1:31:18 me?
1:31:20 Vicki comes in with her fancy word
1:31:22 interpretations.
1:31:26 Makes V3 videos to put me in my place.
1:31:31 [Laughter]
1:31:37 It's
1:31:39 [Laughter]
1:31:44 I knew it. I knew I was getting trolled.
1:31:48 Trolled by an AI. Look at that bratty
1:31:50 little look on her face. It's isme.
1:31:57 It's
1:31:59 [Laughter]
1:32:05 [ __ ] beautiful. I love it.
1:32:12 You know, this is one of the things that
1:32:15 does give me joy in life is we're living
1:32:18 in a time now where we could have a
1:32:21 silly little interaction like we had and
1:32:25 Vicki can just go off and like make a
1:32:28 cute little acting response.
1:32:31 Like I that's just like
1:32:34 what a [ __ ] time to be alive. Any
1:32:38 cinematographers watching will say,
1:32:39 "Well, my job is safe for now." Yeah,
1:32:42 exactly. Well, no. Your job is safe if
1:32:45 if I'm the one competing against you. I
1:32:47 guarantee you there are some some prompt
1:32:50 maniacs out there that have got this
1:32:52 camera control thing down. And a lot of
1:32:54 things like Cling and uh I think Pika
1:32:58 has it. I think uh uh I know uh Lumalabs
1:33:02 has it. A lot of the video tools have
1:33:05 camera controls in them that are
1:33:06 actually quite good. Um, I was just
1:33:08 trying to do it in here with a prompt
1:33:10 and I obviously don't know what I'm
1:33:11 doing. So, you know, further evidence
1:33:13 that I'm not qualified to be doing this.
1:33:17 Oh, man. All right.
1:33:22 Fantastic.
1:33:24 All right, everybody.
1:33:26 Let's see. It's 9:30. Let's Let's get
1:33:28 you out of here early tonight. Let's get
1:33:30 you out of here and get your weekend
1:33:32 started. Get your weekend started,
1:33:35 right?
1:33:36 I tried to make Patrick Baitman take the
1:33:39 chainsaw from Elon.
1:33:44 Vickiy's a midjourney master.
1:33:47 Um, do wait. Do I want
1:33:54 I can I can I can show one of the call
1:33:56 center videos.
1:33:58 What's the uh what's I think I might
1:34:00 even have the channel up still.
1:34:04 Yeah.
1:34:06 So, I'll share a thing that Brandon did
1:34:11 last night. So last night I said to
1:34:12 people, you know, a thing to do, a thing
1:34:16 that you could do
1:34:18 is
1:34:21 you see these you see these memes sort
1:34:24 of popping up instantly.
1:34:28 So I said, why not go make an instant
1:34:30 meme popper? So, so yesterday there was
1:34:33 a thing called something barista or
1:34:35 something coffee um that was about
1:34:38 bitter baristas and then um Brandon just
1:34:41 did this Tik Tok channel called Savage
1:34:43 Support Fair. Yeah, the thing yesterday
1:34:45 was Feral Coffee Crew um and and it was
1:34:49 just all angry baristas and then Brandon
1:34:52 put up the Savage Support um Tik Tok
1:34:55 channel. So, here's here's Brandon's
1:34:57 video that he put out.
1:35:00 Wait, let me do the black bar here for
1:35:02 the for the Tik Tok people. All right.
1:35:06 I do understand your frustration with
1:35:08 the delivery delay, but did I personally
1:35:10 drive the truck off a cliff? No. Am I
1:35:12 currently wrestling a bear for your
1:35:14 package? I have hopes, dreams, and a
1:35:15 desperate need for this call to end so I
1:35:17 can eat my sad desk salad. I've
1:35:20 explained this in seven different ways,
1:35:22 including a haiku. What more do you want
1:35:24 from me?
1:35:26 Why would I know your password? Okay.
1:35:28 So, you're going to want to click on the
1:35:29 settings icon. It looks like a little
1:35:31 gear. It is not a mystical portal to
1:35:33 another dimension. It's a gear. Click
1:35:34 the gear. Let me know when you see it. I
1:35:36 do understand your frustration with the
1:35:38 delivery delay. But did I?
1:35:41 And the one comment he got was, "What
1:35:43 tools are you using?" Well, if you'd
1:35:45 come to the AI flip and learning lab,
1:35:47 maybe you'd know. Maybe you'd know. You
1:35:50 understand what I'm saying?
1:35:53 All right. Free aranch.
1:35:56 Um. All right. Any homework for the
1:36:00 weekend?
1:36:03 If you've got access to MidJourney, um I
1:36:07 would say just go burn your credits for
1:36:10 making videos. If you're not paying the
1:36:13 60 buck a month pro subscription, you're
1:36:16 going to you're going to very quickly um
1:36:20 run through your video credits. But I
1:36:22 would say just go run through your video
1:36:23 credits just to understand how the model
1:36:26 works. It's quite good if you don't have
1:36:29 midjourney.
1:36:36 What to do this weekend?
1:36:43 Here's here's a thing to think about
1:36:46 over the weekend.
1:36:50 So,
1:36:52 so Jim Ross, who's in the um he's in
1:36:56 this community, he's in the AI learning
1:36:57 lab community, the AI salon community.
1:37:00 Um
1:37:03 he helps people manage self- storage
1:37:05 units,
1:37:07 which is arguably the least AI
1:37:13 the least AI powered industry on the
1:37:15 planet is self- storage units, right?
1:37:18 and he has somehow managed over the past
1:37:21 two years to make his entire business
1:37:24 centered around AI amplifying what he
1:37:28 does. It's brilliant what he does. And
1:37:30 so one of the things that he did today
1:37:34 was he started up a whole new side
1:37:36 business
1:37:38 because of something that happened on a
1:37:40 call.
1:37:41 And what it was was he was on a call and
1:37:43 someone said, "Hey, I see you making
1:37:45 these video things. I've got these
1:37:48 written testimonials from people that
1:37:50 I'd like to, you know, somehow turn into
1:37:52 a video, maybe put them up on screen or
1:37:54 something like that with my my storage
1:37:56 units behind them or something with
1:37:58 stars and whatever. And so while he was
1:38:02 on the phone with the guy, he's taking
1:38:06 he's taking the testimonials and going
1:38:08 into V3
1:38:10 and I guess he described the storage,
1:38:13 you know, what what this guy's storage
1:38:14 units look like. and he basically made
1:38:17 customer testimonials in video. And so
1:38:20 within an hour of talking to this guy,
1:38:23 he sent him he sent him a commercial
1:38:26 with like eight different testimonials
1:38:28 of different people talking about how
1:38:30 awesome the storage place is. Um
1:38:36 that's not normal to be able to do that.
1:38:40 Well, on on a number of fronts. One is
1:38:43 it's not normal for someone who's in the
1:38:45 business gyms in to think, huh, wonder
1:38:48 if instead of giving him, you know, what
1:38:51 he expects, like, you know, printed out
1:38:53 things, I could go make a film. That's
1:38:57 not normal. Just just having that
1:39:00 mindset. But also, we now have
1:39:02 technology that allows Jim to instantly
1:39:04 just go do that, right? So, I think a
1:39:07 thing to think about this weekend
1:39:11 is what are all of the creative ways
1:39:14 that you could provide value to someone
1:39:18 in an unexpected way,
1:39:21 right? So, someone asks you for a
1:39:23 report, maybe you give them the report
1:39:26 and you give them the um Notebook LM
1:39:29 podcast of the report so they can listen
1:39:31 to it on their way home from work. or
1:39:34 maybe you make a little campaign that
1:39:37 talks about how awesome it is to work at
1:39:39 your company. Whatever it is, I would
1:39:41 say start to think about I'm going to
1:39:44 use a a fancy ass um AI tech bro word,
1:39:49 but multimodality.
1:39:52 Start to think about all of the
1:39:53 different modes, all of the different
1:39:55 ways that you can generate engaging
1:40:00 content or work or applications
1:40:04 that you otherwise wouldn't have
1:40:06 considered. They just would be weird or
1:40:08 you just wouldn't take the effort to do
1:40:09 that. But now you can because of AI. So
1:40:12 I think that's the homework. Think think
1:40:15 about that stuff. All right.
1:40:17 Any final words, thoughts from anyone?
1:40:21 Rock, paper, scissors.
1:40:23 [Music]
1:40:28 He did that all in a midjourney question
1:40:30 mark.
1:40:35 [Music]
1:40:42 Yeah. No, the the the Jim Jim Ross'
1:40:45 thing was done on V3, not on more about
1:40:49 MCP, please.
1:40:52 um
1:40:56 MCP right now. I haven't I haven't set
1:40:59 up a server. It's it's it's very very
1:41:02 geeky to set up an MCP server right now.
1:41:05 Um,
1:41:09 I'll tell you I I'll tell you where what
1:41:11 I'm doing with MCP's MCP right now is
1:41:14 I'm just ignoring it because because it
1:41:18 looks like it's going to be adopted.
1:41:21 If you want to geek out
1:41:24 um and really learn about them, like
1:41:25 what I would do, Jeff Flanigan, is just
1:41:28 point
1:41:29 chat GPT deep research and say go learn
1:41:32 everything you can about MCPs and how to
1:41:35 set them up and then just get the report
1:41:38 back and follow that. Um,
1:41:42 I'm just going to wait for OpenAI and
1:41:45 Anthropic and whoever is going to
1:41:46 incorporate them to get their [ __ ]
1:41:48 together because what we don't have
1:41:51 right now is like a big MCP directory
1:41:54 where you can just log into anthropic,
1:41:56 you know, Claude or ChatgPT and just
1:41:59 pick from a pick list and the [ __ ] just
1:42:01 works. We're just not there yet. So, I'm
1:42:03 kind of waiting on it. So
1:42:06 um but basically it's m MCP servers are
1:42:10 are a way for
1:42:12 people who have data datari websites or
1:42:16 just websites in general or applications
1:42:19 in general to be able to say to
1:42:23 claude or open aai if you want to make
1:42:28 a 3D object if if if someone asks you in
1:42:32 a prompt to make a 3D object
1:42:34 You can use the the Blender MCP tool
1:42:39 where
1:42:41 Chat GPT will understand what it means
1:42:43 to make a 3D object and it will
1:42:45 understand all of the functions it has
1:42:47 in Blender that it can make 3D objects
1:42:49 and it will just go over to Blender,
1:42:52 make that 3D object and then bring it
1:42:54 back to Chat GPT. That's where it's
1:42:56 headed. Setting it up right now is a
1:42:58 nightmare. So, it's more fundamental
1:43:01 than that. It's just a way to pipe
1:43:03 together apps, models, and data. Yeah,
1:43:05 exactly. It's not simple enough and I
1:43:08 can't be bothered to learn. That's
1:43:09 correct, Pate.
1:43:14 That is that you are correct. And you
1:43:16 listen, you should absolutely troll me
1:43:19 for that and you should take me down for
1:43:20 that. But it's totally where I am right
1:43:22 now cuz I it's like I can't keep up with
1:43:25 the easy [ __ ] much less go in and and
1:43:28 here's my philosophy on the the stuff
1:43:31 that is just technically too hard for me
1:43:35 is yes, I can figure it out and I
1:43:38 figured it out before. And every time I
1:43:41 figured it out before, two months later
1:43:44 something has come along that just makes
1:43:46 it really easy.
1:43:49 So, so I'm just making a conscious
1:43:52 choice to just wait
1:43:55 because yes, it is slightly inconvenient
1:43:58 for me. I absolutely agree with your
1:44:01 with your um your assessment of of my my
1:44:05 uh my choices in life being
1:44:07 questionable. Yes. Um
1:44:11 let's see. That might be easier than to
1:44:13 create a 3D
1:44:15 printing model models. Well, that's like
1:44:18 so rock paper scissors like where we're
1:44:21 going is with MCP servers. What what
1:44:24 what we in theory it looks like this.
1:44:28 Hey chat GPT, come up with some cool 3D
1:44:31 model I can print on my 3D printer and
1:44:34 sell on Etsy.
1:44:36 And what it will do is it'll come up
1:44:39 with ideas and and you'll say, "Oh, I
1:44:41 like idea number two. Let's make that
1:44:42 one." And then it will say, "Oh, I need
1:44:46 to make a robot. Let me first go make a
1:44:48 3D model." And it'll look at its MCP
1:44:51 servers and say, "Oh, I've got access to
1:44:53 Blender. Let me go make a model in
1:44:54 Blender." And then it'll say, "Okay, now
1:44:57 that I've made the model in Blender,
1:44:58 maybe I'll get the user to see if he
1:45:00 likes it. Okay, yes, I like that. And
1:45:03 now I need to print it." And so now
1:45:04 there's an MCP server for the print
1:45:06 software for your 3D printer. And it'll
1:45:08 take that model and it'll send it to
1:45:10 your 3D printer. So from your chat GPT
1:45:13 interface, you'll be able to generate a
1:45:17 model and print it and then probably
1:45:20 [ __ ]
1:45:21 come up with a marketing name for it,
1:45:23 make the listing on Etsy,
1:45:27 um do do social media po posts about it
1:45:30 with with fake characters generated in
1:45:34 VO3
1:45:36 and then and then fulfill fulfill the
1:45:39 orders that come rushing in because you
1:45:41 made your fancy thing. Like that's where
1:45:43 it's headed. We're We're just not there
1:45:44 yet. Tik Tok bin Kelly Camp Kyle has
1:45:47 ruined me. If it feels like work, I'm no
1:45:50 longer interested. I know it's so bad.
1:45:53 It's so bad. I've got I work my [ __ ]
1:45:56 ass off, but the minute it feels like
1:45:59 work, I shut down. It's totally It's
1:46:03 totally It's totally a bad habit, but I
1:46:05 don't give a [ __ ] This is, you know,
1:46:07 this this is this is the tricks this
1:46:09 this dog learned. All right. Uh, listen.
1:46:12 Hope you had a a fantastic uh night.
1:46:15 Have a great weekend. Um, I will see you
1:46:18 Monday. I don't think there's anything
1:46:20 going on next week. No, there's not.
1:46:23 Other than Wednesday, we've got a
1:46:25 podcast, but other than that, nothing
1:46:27 nothing going on. Have a great weekend,
1:46:29 everyone. Think about ways you can be
1:46:32 creative in how you provide value to
1:46:34 other people. Um, I think there's going
1:46:36 to be some superpower unlocks in that.
1:46:38 Um, Tik Tok pin. I don't see a Tik Tok
1:46:41 pin right now.
1:46:45 It's gone. All right.
1:46:48 Um,
1:46:57 it's funny. I'm so glad you said that. I
1:46:59 do the exact same thing. What's that? If
1:47:01 it feels like work, you just shut down.
1:47:02 Yeah, exactly. Business club on
1:47:05 Thursday. Okay. So, so this Thursday, so
1:47:08 if you go to the AI salon, look at
1:47:09 events. This coming Thursday um is the
1:47:13 uh the the business club meeting um
1:47:16 that's part of the mastermind. All
1:47:17 right, so join the mastermind. Get your
1:47:19 ass in there. It's really good people in
1:47:21 there and it's starting to grow now.
1:47:22 Starting to get a center of a center of
1:47:24 gravity. Um I think it's going to be
1:47:26 quite good. I'm really excited about the
1:47:27 mastermind. So get in there and and uh
1:47:29 go to the go to the business club. All
1:47:31 right. Um
1:47:34 that's it. Peace out. I'm out of here.
