Description

In this May 2023 livestream, I discuss the blistering pace of AI advancement and how it's evolving faster than many realize. I share thoughts on ChatGPT's explosive adoption, the flurry of new models being released, and the fervor around development right now. We talk about the power of tools like Midjourney for art, and interesting concepts like autonomous agents. I reflect on both the promise and risks of progressing so quickly into unknown territory. What are your thoughts on where we're headed in the AI landscape? Let me know in the comments!

0:07 with the AI learning lab
0:10 let's see notifying viewers that I am
0:14 live
0:16 let's see there's a person hello Kyle
0:19 Shannon with the AI learning lab
0:22 logging in late at night well not that
0:24 late it's nine o'clock here in Denver
0:27 hey everybody Welcome in if you have any
0:29 questions about AI jump in ask me I'm
0:31 happy to answer anything I can uh if I
0:35 can't answer it I'll tell you I don't I
0:37 try not to make crap up and I don't know
0:39 what's going on with my hair it's a
0:41 little puffy
0:43 that's a bit of a nightmare so I
0:45 apologize for that but what are you
0:46 gonna do
0:47 what are you gonna hey at least I got
0:49 hair right you know at this age I mean
0:52 my forehead is it looks like I'm getting
0:54 smarter because my head's getting bigger
0:55 but uh anyway yeah so uh let's see
0:59 what's today today's Monday
1:01 um there was some big news item what was
1:03 it let me go see if I can find there was
1:05 an interesting news item
1:08 that I just saw where did I put that
1:13 ask any questions get any questions
1:15 about AI feel free to dump them in the
1:17 chat and I will answer what I can
1:20 let's see what did I oh I know they did
1:28 lamini
1:30 a-i-l-a-m-i-n-i dot a i
1:33 this thing here
1:36 and apparently
1:39 it's really good at training your own
1:41 data which I think I think that's going
1:43 to be I think that's going to be the
1:45 real big the thing that's gonna really
1:49 bring these large language models into
1:52 their power is when we can personally
1:55 train them on our own data and then as
1:57 businesses we can train them on our own
1:59 data data
2:00 um have I have I done anything
2:02 interesting with agent GPT I have not
2:06 um I've played around with it a little
2:08 bit uh you know kind of
2:11 hinting it figuring out how to get it up
2:15 and running but I just I just haven't
2:16 things have been busy at work because I
2:19 have Incorporated AI into my company
2:22 vision and we've been presenting that
2:24 and that's been going really really well
2:26 where clients are like we want to talk
2:28 about this I've been really busy doing
2:30 that
2:31 um but I think I think all of the
2:33 autonomous agent stuff is going to be
2:35 huge
2:36 um and uh generative agents are really
2:39 really interesting and then things like
2:41 Auto GPT agent gbt baby AGI
2:46 all of those things well I mean what's
2:48 amazing is those tools are
2:52 um about a month old I mean you know in
2:55 their in their entirety
2:57 um and and they're they're already
2:59 having a dramatic impact
3:01 um so you know I can only imagine six
3:04 months or a year from now where they've
3:06 actually got those things dialed in and
3:07 and you know they don't they don't stall
3:09 out and they don't go into recursive
3:11 Loops that just end up running forever
3:13 um if you have any questions about AI
3:15 feel free to join hey everybody it's uh
3:17 Kyle Shannon with the AI learning lab uh
3:20 I like talking about AI stuff because
3:21 it's all I can think about anymore and I
3:24 am insufferable
3:26 people ask me about the weather and I'm
3:28 like well you know what chat gbt would
3:30 say about that uh but but it's you know
3:34 the reason I'm so passionate about this
3:36 stuff is I I think this is
3:39 um
3:40 I think it's one of the more profound
3:42 technical advances in humanity
3:46 um
3:47 I was just too early to be part of the
3:49 PC Revolution I was right in the middle
3:51 of the web Revolution and did a lot of
3:53 uh innovating during the mid 90s and
3:56 early 2000s and
3:58 this feels a lot like those days
4:02 um but it is happening significantly
4:05 faster and way more profound in fact one
4:09 of the stats I've said this a couple of
4:10 times on the channel and even on these
4:12 lives but but I think it's it's quite
4:15 important the the World Wide Web to get
4:18 to 100 million users it took eight years
4:21 so I started one of the first digital
4:24 agencies in 1995 I was in it for
4:28 um hi larisha
4:30 larisha that I work with I guess is in
4:32 my life she's sending me gifts
4:35 hi Larry [ __ ] that's really funny
4:37 um
4:39 I started one of the first digital
4:41 agencies we grew really really big
4:42 really really fast I was only in uh it
4:45 was a company called agency.com I was
4:46 only in a part of agency.com for seven
4:49 years it took eight years for the World
4:51 Wide Web to get to 100 million users it
4:55 took chat GPT
4:57 um a month and a half six weeks to get
4:59 to 100 million users so the the speed of
5:03 adoption is uh absolutely insane and oh
5:07 I got a Rose thank you larisha for my
5:09 rose
5:10 I got one rose I don't I don't know I've
5:12 this little my third lives I don't know
5:14 how any of this crap works but if you
5:16 want to send me things I guess you can
5:17 send me things
5:19 hi Tim if you're watching uh let's see
5:22 which AI tools am I excited about at the
5:25 moment I learned love to learn more
5:27 about Auto GPT yeah if you go to well
5:31 there's there's lots of videos
5:34 um
5:36 there's lots of videos on YouTube about
5:38 Auto GPT there's one guy in particular I
5:41 can't remember his name hang on auto
5:46 GPT typing in public is always stressful
5:50 Larissa and I talk about this all the
5:52 time because we're always both typing
5:53 live with people watching us make typos
5:57 um let's see which dude is the dude that
5:59 I like see if I can find him
6:02 e
6:03 let's see auto GPT
6:06 tutorial or maybe it was a lang chain
6:09 tutorial
6:10 because uh Lang chain is within Auto
6:13 gpt2 tour y'all
6:18 uh is this the guy that's appy Dave he's
6:21 pretty good
6:23 that's not who I'm thinking of
6:26 is this the guy
6:31 um
6:32 rabbit metrics no
6:37 well this is boring watching me trying
6:39 to find a video
6:42 but uh anyway
6:43 um the tools I'm excited about
6:46 um
6:47 I just saw a thing about mid-journey
6:48 more of a mid Journey guy love me some
6:50 art I um
6:52 I yeah mid Journey for me is the is the
6:55 the top of the
6:57 the top of the Heap when it comes to
6:58 image generation I did um stable
7:00 diffusion for a long time with my my art
7:03 project and I like I like stable
7:05 diffusion but mid journey is just
7:07 consistently really good art
7:10 um it's a bit of a pain in the ass
7:11 because you have to do it through
7:12 Discord but I'm I'm sure within the next
7:14 year they're going to have a web
7:15 interface or an app or something like
7:16 that so mid journey is where it's at for
7:19 me there
7:20 um
7:21 what am I excited about I mean I mean
7:23 you know quite frankly just the more I
7:27 use
7:29 um chat GPT gpt4
7:31 um just any of the large language models
7:33 but gpt4 in particular is you know
7:36 absolutely mind-blowing it continues to
7:39 be mind-blowing for me
7:41 um so so like that's the thing I'm most
7:43 excited about so if you you don't need
7:44 to get more fancy than that I think
7:46 there's also
7:48 um I had a a question on the on the
7:51 channel today
7:52 um that I made a video about about you
7:55 know someone's like where do you find
7:56 chat EPT when I search for it like
7:58 thousands of apps come up there's all
8:00 sorts of crappy apps that um are using
8:03 gpt3 under the hood
8:06 um that are just you know trying to jump
8:07 on the Gold Rush of people talking about
8:09 chat GPT so they're trying to get you to
8:11 you know Fork over 10 bucks for the
8:12 shitty piece of software so just go to
8:15 chat.openai.com
8:18 um or go to bing.com the chat in
8:21 bing.com is actually egpt4 it's based on
8:23 gpt4 and it's connected to the internet
8:25 so both of those are free and you can
8:28 pay for
8:29 um
8:30 chatgpts plus that gives you access to
8:33 to gpt4 which I do but um you get access
8:37 uh did I get access to the plugins for
8:40 for chat EBT yeah I did
8:42 um I haven't played with them a lot
8:44 because I just haven't had time to go
8:47 build one
8:48 um I have started to have chat cheapyt
8:52 um create a tutorial for me to teach me
8:54 how to create a chat GPT plugin I just
8:57 pasted the documentation into chatgpt
8:59 and told it to create a step-by-step
9:01 plan for me so I'm about halfway through
9:03 that
9:04 um they're very very limited right now
9:06 they're an alpha
9:08 um I've heard that they're they're
9:09 rolling out access a bit more
9:12 um but um the the one that I'm excited
9:14 about I don't have access to and that's
9:16 the the one that's connected to the web
9:18 um where you can go off and search the
9:20 web so I think that that that that I'm
9:23 excited about
9:24 um I think the plug-in architecture is
9:27 going to be huge like I think this is
9:28 totally a game changer it's just really
9:29 really early right now so they're very
9:31 raw and and not a lot of interesting
9:34 stuff that I'm actually interested in
9:36 for work uh more of a mid Journey guy I
9:39 love me some art encourage your viewers
9:41 to share your live and invite more
9:43 friends okay hey if you're viewing
9:47 um share this live and invite your
9:48 friends all right thank you thank you
9:51 for oh wait I think that was from I
9:53 think that's just a I think that's the
9:54 robot telling me how to how to do this
9:56 whatever
9:58 um will I will AI takeover software
10:00 engineering jobs yes
10:03 um absolutely if you you are not using
10:06 copilot on GitHub you should but but
10:09 um it's absolutely transforming uh it's
10:13 transforming programming
10:16 um in in lots of lots of ways
10:18 um
10:19 and and you know I think that
10:24 I think the people that have deep
10:26 engineering experience are are
10:28 absolutely you know always going to be
10:30 needed but but I almost feel like it's
10:32 like the lower level tactical stuff is
10:34 just going to get automated out so I
10:36 would say if you're an engineer get good
10:39 at product get good at sort of the big
10:41 picture and strategy
10:43 um I I think that's that's where
10:45 ultimately we're gonna we're gonna live
10:47 I think a lot of the the Tactical
10:49 stuff's gonna get automated out um which
10:51 for for me as a sort of hacky
10:53 non-technical guy that pretends I know
10:56 what I'm doing with software I'm really
10:58 excited about it real Engineers there's
11:00 there's a lot of change coming
11:02 um let's see
11:04 I can pin a comment
11:06 what's that say I can pin a comment oh
11:08 let's just uh Tick Tock telling me what
11:10 to do will AI take over I already read
11:12 that one um
11:18 myself
11:20 have I seen interesting use cases for
11:22 generative AI working with robotic
11:25 process automation no but I haven't been
11:28 looking for it it's not a world that I
11:29 know
11:30 I know creative and I know marketing
11:33 um I I don't know the the automation
11:35 world and Manufacturing and things like
11:37 that
11:38 um but but you know Tesla's got their
11:41 humanoid robot Boston Dynamics been
11:43 doing it for a decade um I saw an
11:45 interview I think it was Lex Friedman
11:47 interviewed the CEO of Boston Dynamics
11:50 and
11:52 um he said that there are a lot of
11:54 robotic startups right now so I think I
11:56 think large language models and robots
11:59 are gonna
12:00 do this very very quickly and I think I
12:02 think we're going to see advances
12:04 um I think we're going to see pretty
12:06 dramatic advances in uh
12:09 in robotics so yeah
12:12 uh with the strike coming any thoughts
12:14 of the future of screenwriting yeah I
12:16 I've written seven screenplays I know I
12:18 know this world pretty well
12:20 um I think that the
12:22 um
12:24 the uh the writer's Guild just did
12:27 something about trying to block
12:31 um any GPT generated stuff I think
12:36 that's very very short-sighted
12:38 um
12:39 GPT is going to be built into every
12:41 single writing tool out there if it's
12:43 not already it's in notion it's going to
12:45 be an office 365. it's it's likely going
12:48 to be in the
12:49 in the in the um in screenwriting
12:52 software so I think I think just even
12:54 being able to figure out where the
12:56 boundary is between you know what lines
12:58 were created with GPT I just think it's
13:00 I think it's a pointless exercise right
13:02 now
13:03 um
13:06 you know
13:09 we we
13:11 here's the here's the problem with with
13:13 any of the creative work creative arts
13:16 and any of any of knowledge work
13:19 is that we are moving from a relative
13:22 world of scarcity when it comes to
13:26 creative output and knowledge output
13:29 um to a world of abundance that that
13:32 there's just going to be tremendous
13:34 amounts of content and whether it's
13:36 completely
13:38 you know autonomously generated or
13:41 completely human or some hybrid in
13:43 between we're we're going to be able to
13:46 tell less and less that there's that
13:48 boundary there right now because chat
13:51 GPT is the separate tool
13:53 it's you know I I feel like we're in a
13:56 very very short-term you know
13:58 block the block the robots the robots
14:01 are coming for our jobs
14:03 I I don't feel that at all I feel that
14:05 these tools are
14:07 um Talent amplifiers right so if you're
14:10 really good at screenwriting if you're
14:12 really good at storytelling
14:14 and you learn to use AI tools you're
14:17 going to be really good
14:18 um you're going to have your talent
14:20 Amplified using that tool so I think I
14:22 think the the quality
14:24 um and um
14:26 and quantity of content is going to go
14:29 up
14:30 it does make it a lot easier for you
14:33 know completely non-talented people to
14:35 get garbage into the marketplace so I
14:38 think it's going to get noisier but you
14:40 see this with with art you see this with
14:42 mid-journey and with image generation
14:44 tools that
14:46 um really talented people that learn to
14:48 use these tools tend to make way more
14:52 interesting work than less talented
14:54 people right
14:56 um so uh you know and I actually think
14:58 writers you know anyone who's got the
15:00 ability to synthesize ideas generate
15:03 ideas are going to be really good at
15:05 telling these tools
15:06 um how to give them what they want
15:10 um ask any questions you want what are
15:12 my macros I don't have any macros I
15:14 don't really use any macros are you a
15:16 software engineer no I'm a CEO of a
15:18 software company I would call myself
15:19 more of a product guy than well I'm
15:22 definitely not a software engineer um
15:23 I've got an acting degree and a writing
15:26 background I started one of the early
15:28 digital agencies so I did a lot of early
15:30 HTML work but that's not really
15:32 engineering the the we had Engineers
15:34 that did the actual engineering and I've
15:36 got a tech team that that develops my
15:39 current software though I am the one
15:41 that um is the product guy right so I
15:44 have the idea I know what I want it to
15:46 do and I know when it sucks and I I
15:49 think I'm a pain in the ass product guy
15:51 to my Dev team because you know my
15:54 definition of it should work is it
15:56 should work like it's you know it's that
15:58 simple if it doesn't work then it sucks
16:00 um I talk about that a lot
16:04 um and ask any questions you've got
16:06 about AI I'm happy to talk about them
16:09 and what else I'm trying to think what
16:12 else is going on I haven't seen a ton of
16:14 news over the weekend because I was busy
16:17 kind of recuperating from a a last
16:19 minute trip to New York to go out to see
16:22 a client who got very excited about the
16:24 new AI stuff we rolled into my company
16:26 software my company is called storyvine
16:29 and it's got
16:30 um what do we have we have an automated
16:32 uh video storytelling platform so people
16:35 answer questions in an app it goes up to
16:37 the cloud a few minutes later you've got
16:38 a fully edited video and so we are
16:41 rolling a lot of AI functionality into
16:44 that and and actually I'm completely
16:46 rethinking the platform and what it is
16:49 and what it can be and what what it can
16:51 do
16:52 and it seems to be resonating people
16:54 seem to be getting very excited about it
16:55 so that's cool
16:57 um let's see any opportunities to govern
17:00 AI
17:02 I think
17:04 I think that governing AI is is I I
17:08 think there's going to be massive
17:09 Industries built around it I think it's
17:11 absolutely required I think we're
17:13 entering a massive [ __ ] show where where
17:17 governance uh you know open AI is sort
17:21 of trying to govern it and and
17:24 sort of slow roll their releases but you
17:27 know last week or the week before four
17:30 different open source large language
17:32 models launched and
17:33 metas alpaca or metas llama
17:38 um models all got leaked so so those are
17:41 out in the wild and alpacas based on
17:43 llama and so there's a bunch of it's
17:45 it's the it's absolutely a wild west
17:47 right now
17:49 um the the one company in this space
17:51 that I I think is really interesting is
17:54 a bunch of X open AI Engineers that made
17:58 um GPT
17:59 three
18:01 um started a company called anthropic an
18:03 anthropic has what's called a
18:05 constitutional learning model which so
18:08 so the way open AI works is they've got
18:10 this large language model and then they
18:11 use human reinforcement learning so
18:14 humans look at an answer and they say
18:17 thumbs up or thumbs down and then the
18:20 machine learns which answer was better
18:22 right and if you do that over tens of
18:24 thousands of people it gets really smart
18:26 really quick it's one of the things they
18:28 found is you don't need to train these
18:29 large language models a lot before they
18:31 get dramatically better
18:33 um so that's opening eyes thing um the
18:35 the challenge with human reinforcement
18:37 learning is that it's very subjective
18:39 and all the biases human biases
18:41 um get built built into the into the
18:44 reinforcement so so you can reinforce
18:46 bad behavior
18:47 anthropic
18:49 their model is called the Constitutional
18:51 learning model and and the way their
18:53 system works is they write a
18:54 constitution so they write a set of
18:56 rules so first do no evil and you know
18:59 do good for Humanity and whatever
19:00 whatever the rules are and if you go to
19:02 the anthropic site I think they've got
19:04 six or seven of them up there
19:06 um and then and then the way the system
19:08 works is you ask it something it
19:11 generates an answer and then it Compares
19:12 that answer against the Constitution and
19:15 if it if it ranks poorly it'll send it
19:17 back
19:18 um and say no that violates something in
19:20 the Constitution and it'll it'll keep
19:22 iterating until it passes the test and
19:24 then it'll give you the answer
19:26 um I think I think that approach is is
19:27 really really interesting
19:29 um you know it's it's probably not
19:32 perfect right now I think what we'll see
19:33 in the future is we'll see
19:35 um
19:37 there's not going to be a single
19:39 governance model that works for everyone
19:42 so I think what you'll see is you'll
19:43 have lots of different models and you'll
19:45 be able to choose from uh here's a model
19:47 that aligns with my you know values and
19:50 I'm going to use that one and here's one
19:51 that doesn't align with my values and
19:53 I'm not going to use that one I think I
19:54 think that's how we'll start to see
19:56 these things
19:57 the corporate ones are going to be very
19:58 boring and then there's going to be wild
20:00 and zany ones and then there's going to
20:02 be ones that are actually funny and ones
20:03 that are actually smart and interesting
20:05 and ones that are actually dangerous and
20:07 you know things like that all right let
20:09 me see what other questions are here
20:11 um what are the best wait sorry lost it
20:16 what are the best AI software for images
20:18 that
20:20 progress into other images like if you
20:22 can mix images
20:24 um mid-journey right now does really
20:26 good
20:27 um mixing of images
20:29 and
20:31 stable diffusion with dream Booth you
20:34 can train it with your models there's
20:35 also a piece of software called
20:37 leonardo.ai
20:39 um that I really like a lot I think it's
20:41 still in beta testing I have access to
20:43 the beta
20:44 but let me see here the oh Nardo
20:51 um
20:51 this one's really good
20:55 login
21:01 watch as I log in to a piece of software
21:04 don't you hate it when people try to
21:06 show you something in Tech and they're
21:08 like oh it's going to be really good
21:10 and then it takes them forever to log in
21:12 like it is for me right now
21:14 let's see
21:16 AI image generation so this is one
21:19 that um oh yeah that's some disturbing
21:21 stuff I did let's see
21:25 um
21:27 70s muscle here I'll flip just like this
21:31 70s muscle
21:35 car in abandoned
21:40 Factory let's see how this does
21:52 [Music]
21:54 yeah that's pretty good
21:56 yeah so
21:58 so Leonardo is pretty good and you can
22:00 uh oh the reason the person asked was
22:04 um
22:05 how do I go back
22:07 was uh
22:11 you can upload an image so right here
22:14 there's image to image so you can upload
22:15 an image and then base something that
22:18 you do on that image so
22:20 um so most of the most of the image
22:22 generation things are going to have
22:25 um
22:26 are going to have the ability to mix
22:27 images c x a i is what I have no idea if
22:32 anyone knows let me know thoughts on
22:33 auto GPT
22:35 yeah Auto GPT
22:37 agent GPT baby AGI all of these
22:41 autonomous agents are going to be
22:45 huge they're also all
22:48 um
22:49 incredibly new and Incredibly raw and
22:53 um
22:55 there's kind of good news and bad news
22:57 right now the good news is because of
22:59 the popularity of chat GPT the
23:02 development Community is bouncing on
23:05 anything AI so they're developing
23:07 all sorts of new Innovative things these
23:11 autonomous agents are one of them
23:13 they're essentially a month old so even
23:17 though they can do really remarkable
23:18 things so so what they are if you don't
23:20 know what an autonomous agent is is
23:22 rather than you having to prompt a large
23:24 language model and say give me this
23:26 specific answer and then it'll give you
23:27 that
23:28 you basically just give it a goal you
23:31 say I want you to go find the taglines
23:33 of of my 10 biggest competitors and it
23:36 will create a list of tasks and prompt
23:40 itself it will send its own prompts to
23:43 either a large language model like like
23:45 chat gbt or it will go to a Google
23:47 search or whatever it needs to do and so
23:50 it will say okay you know who are the
23:52 top 10 competitors for storyvine and
23:55 it'll go out and find them and then
23:56 it'll go find their tag lines and then
23:59 it'll you know build that into a table
24:01 using a large language model
24:04 um they can obviously do stuff that's
24:05 way more sophisticated than that
24:07 um so they're quite quite powerful and
24:09 so people are using them to do things
24:11 like create website Builders where you
24:14 literally just say make me a website for
24:15 this kind of business and it will go and
24:18 it will write the copy it'll generate
24:19 the code it'll go generate images for
24:22 the design and package it all up and
24:25 launch it and you know potentially even
24:27 go grab you a domain I you know it'll do
24:30 all sorts they do all sorts of crazy
24:32 things because they're so raw and so new
24:36 they're really janky they're really just
24:39 bad software because they're brand new
24:43 um but but what what it's doing is it's
24:46 stitching together a series of tools in
24:48 a way that you don't have to prompt it
24:50 you just give it a goal and turn it
24:52 loose right so that's terrifying also
24:54 because you know imagine
24:58 um
24:58 if if you wanted to say you know go find
25:01 me a bunch of servers that have a
25:03 particular
25:04 um
25:05 you know hack exploit and go exploit
25:08 them and then send me all the URLs where
25:10 I have root access
25:12 you know they'll just go off and do that
25:14 so
25:16 um but they're going to be amazing
25:17 they're going to be amazing there's
25:18 another thing that came out last week
25:20 called generative agents or the week
25:21 before
25:23 and generative agents the the paper
25:25 talks about like the little NPC players
25:27 the non-player characters and games and
25:30 these NPC characters use large language
25:33 models to actually talk to one another
25:35 some sort of you know autonomous agent
25:37 where you'll will each have our own
25:38 agents and we'll just tell the agent go
25:41 do some stuff for me and it will go do
25:42 it and I could see a world where you
25:45 know I'll have my agent talk to your
25:47 agent and our agents will go off and you
25:49 know coordinate things and figure out if
25:51 we've got interest or availability or
25:54 whatever it might be and just do stuff
25:55 for us
25:56 um and they'll get to know our
25:57 preferences and it's it's going to get
25:59 very very interesting thoughts about
26:01 copyright and AI every image is unique
26:03 and and
26:05 irreproducible if you don't know the
26:07 seed yeah so
26:10 um
26:11 yeah
26:12 the copyright and trademark issue the
26:15 the the only thing that I can predict
26:17 right now is that the lawyers are going
26:19 to make a [ __ ] fortune in the next 20
26:21 years that's just gonna make a fortune
26:24 um the lawyers are really excited about
26:26 copyright and trademark right now
26:28 because it's such a mess
26:31 um
26:32 it it's I it's gonna get better you've
26:35 got companies like like Adobe jumped in
26:37 into the image generation thing recently
26:40 with firefly and and you know they
26:43 trained their model on open source
26:45 public donate a public domain images
26:49 um and so the idea with with Adobe is
26:53 that they're going to make it friendly
26:54 for artists where artists can opt out of
26:56 the training set they can opt into the
26:58 training set they're probably going to
26:59 have compensation models I think that
27:01 we're going to see compensation models
27:04 um where if like I'm a photographer so I
27:06 could potentially generate
27:08 um uh you know training sets for my
27:11 photographs and then officially license
27:12 them so if someone liked my photographs
27:14 and they want to generate images that
27:16 look like my sky photos they could do
27:18 that and I would get paid on the
27:20 generation of the image rather than the
27:21 usage right now all the copyright stuff
27:23 lives on the usage side and I think
27:25 that's going to be a train wreck because
27:27 of like all the synthesized music we see
27:29 coming and all the synthesized images we
27:31 see coming I just think it's going to be
27:33 a morass for a lot of years
27:36 but but I think I think probably within
27:39 the next two to three years
27:40 um there'll be systems out there where
27:42 where attribution and compensation are
27:45 going to be handled
27:46 um I also
27:49 you know
27:51 copyright
27:53 I mean this is all it's already not what
27:57 it was intended to be I mean copyright
27:59 was intended to protect people when
28:00 producing work
28:02 was really expensive and really slow and
28:04 required an incredible amount of
28:07 technical expertise to actually make it
28:10 happen
28:11 um that got very much watered down when
28:14 we moved into a digital world when we
28:16 went from analog to digital and then it
28:18 got more watered down when we when we
28:20 moved to the internet where you could
28:22 just immediately distribute things and
28:25 now I think I think kind of the the the
28:27 nail in the coffin to to copyright being
28:30 really relevant
28:32 um is is
28:33 um this AI stuff I think it's just gonna
28:35 it's gonna blow it out of the water like
28:37 I don't know what it looks like I
28:39 understand that people need to get paid
28:40 I understand that you you might want to
28:43 protect something really amazing that
28:45 you put together
28:46 um I just don't know how you protect it
28:48 I don't know how you're protected in a
28:50 world where where
28:51 um you can generate anything instantly
28:53 if you look at some of the songs that
28:54 have been put out like the the one that
28:57 was put out that synthesized Drake and
28:59 the weekend their voice and
29:02 um it was an AI synthesized song and it
29:04 got like you know 600 000 or a million
29:07 or however many
29:08 views on Spotify a lot before they took
29:11 it down I mean
29:12 you know we're gonna start seeing fan
29:14 generated art that Rivals the original
29:16 artist
29:18 um and they don't care if they get paid
29:19 for that they're just doing they're just
29:21 putting stuff out there so I don't know
29:22 how to compete in that world so
29:25 um
29:25 so yeah my thoughts are the lawyers are
29:27 gonna get rich and it will get figured
29:29 out but it's going to be an absolute
29:31 mess for 20 years
29:33 um
29:34 what are some of the predictable
29:35 industries that may come as a result of
29:38 AI technology
29:40 um
29:44 I think we're gonna see a lot of
29:48 incredibly powerful companies that
29:52 historically would have taken
29:54 a hundred million or 200 million or 300
29:57 million dollars to Launch
30:00 will get launched by two or three people
30:03 you know
30:05 over a couple of weeks I think
30:08 incredibly sophisticated disruptive
30:10 companies are are just gonna like spring
30:13 up out of nowhere I I also think there's
30:16 there's a lot of talk right now about AI
30:18 is going to take jobs and there's going
30:19 to be all this disruption in the in the
30:21 workforce I absolutely believe that that
30:22 to be the case I think I think it's
30:24 going to be a bloodbath but
30:28 a lot of those displaced people also
30:31 have access to the tools that displace
30:32 them right
30:34 so what you're going to see is there's
30:36 going to be a lot of companies that
30:37 Embrace Ai and do it right there's going
30:39 to be a lot of companies that resist Ai
30:41 and they're going to get hit like a
30:43 tsunami
30:44 with companies that just come in and and
30:46 absolutely obliterate them I think a lot
30:49 of those companies that come in and
30:51 obliterate the incumbents are going to
30:53 be started by people that got displaced
30:55 out of those those bigger companies I
30:56 think I think the agency holding
30:58 companies are in real trouble
31:01 um not not because you know well they're
31:03 in trouble for a lot of reasons but but
31:06 they they can do good work
31:09 um but I think how they charge and the
31:12 amount of time they take
31:14 um I don't think I don't think they're
31:15 gonna last that long I think they're
31:17 gonna get innovated out really quick if
31:19 they don't if they don't disrupt
31:20 themselves
31:22 um
31:23 what are some of the predictable
31:24 Industries um I think there's going to
31:26 be a lot of Industries around AI safety
31:29 I think there's going to be a lot of
31:30 Industries around identity and
31:33 authenticity
31:35 um so for example my company storyvine
31:37 we we have a technology that allows
31:39 people to share their stories right so
31:41 most of the content produced on our
31:44 platform is authentic human beings
31:45 sharing their stories
31:47 um the the synthesized human thing right
31:51 now you can still tell they're
31:52 synthesized but I would say give it a
31:54 year and it's going to be tough to tell
31:56 if someone is real or not
31:58 um and so I could very easily see us
32:01 doing you know sort of an authenticated
32:03 maybe it's blockchain verified that this
32:06 is a real human and I think authenticity
32:09 is going to go up so I think identity
32:11 and authenticity there's going to be
32:12 lots of stuff there I think security is
32:15 going to be a massive industry that
32:18 comes out of this because the hackers
32:20 have way more powerful tools as do the
32:23 the white hat hackers right the the ones
32:25 battling them so I think those battles
32:27 are going to get really interesting
32:29 um
32:32 boy I I think
32:35 any knowledge work I think consultancies
32:37 are going to face real struggle and real
32:40 change any knowledge work I think any
32:42 knowledge work I think any of the
32:44 creative Industries I think Hollywood's
32:46 gonna get upended and and they're
32:48 fighting it like that I was talking
32:49 before someone asked about the
32:50 screenwriters Guild and the writer's
32:52 thing and they're trying to block the
32:53 use of GPT which I think is really
32:55 short-sighted but
32:57 um I I think I think the creative arts
33:00 and the knowledge
33:02 you know any businesses that rely on on
33:04 knowledge workers are going to be
33:06 seriously upended
33:09 um Blue Willow yeah someone asked about
33:10 uh image Technologies blue Willows one
33:14 that's it's a Discord based thing like
33:15 mid Journey but it's free I think it's
33:17 still free
33:19 um yeah mine has been getting stuck in a
33:21 do do nothing Loop
33:24 um not too consistent that's I assume
33:26 that's in reference to Auto GPT like I
33:28 said it's very very early there's not a
33:29 lot of backstops in there if it gets
33:32 into a bad Loop uh it just loops and
33:35 they they give you very bad answers I've
33:37 had
33:38 I've tried to do I don't know I've maybe
33:41 messed around with it 20 times and I
33:43 think I've had two successful
33:45 completions so two out of 20 10 percent
33:48 it's probably lower than that
33:51 um how do I feel wait sorry things are
33:53 scrolling too fast told
33:55 how do I feel about data security in an
33:57 Enterprise environment well right now
33:59 well so uh two days ago
34:02 um chat GPT announced that you can turn
34:05 off
34:06 um
34:07 sharing of your data and your history
34:08 for their training purposes so that's
34:12 good you will lose your history if you
34:14 do that though so make sure you export
34:15 your data so you have your history if
34:17 you've got any good good prompts in
34:18 there
34:20 um
34:22 openai has also announced I assume
34:25 sitting on Microsoft Azure that that you
34:27 can do Standalone servers
34:29 um so I think I think Enterprise
34:31 Securities major we've got
34:34 um Pharma clients are our primary
34:35 clients at storyvine so this is a really
34:38 big concern especially as we're talking
34:40 about adding generative AI into our
34:42 platform
34:43 um so so we will likely do Standalone
34:46 servers that are that are effectively
34:48 hermetically sealed probably for each
34:50 client but we might just end up doing a
34:52 standalone
34:53 uh thing for our company and then just
34:55 uh you know
34:57 assure security um but but I think I
34:59 think data security in an Enterprise
35:01 environment's huge
35:04 huge Samsung just got a bunch of stuff
35:06 leaked because
35:09 um people put meeting notes and some
35:11 proprietary code in a chat GPT chat
35:14 someone hacked their history and got a
35:16 bunch of that stuff so someone got fired
35:18 there so I think it's huge
35:20 um what about AI content creator
35:22 accounts we probably won't need real
35:24 people to create content anymore well
35:27 to create the content no but to
35:32 instantiate the content to come up with
35:34 the idea to come up with a strategy to
35:37 for every image that you see that
35:39 someone shared on Twitter there's
35:40 probably 50 images they created that
35:42 weren't good enough to make the cut so
35:44 curating content refining the content
35:47 you know you know combining different
35:49 images together either in Photoshop or
35:51 illustrator or whatever it might be
35:53 adding type to it
35:55 um
35:56 my experience with these tools you know
35:59 on the surface you say oh these tools
36:01 these tools can do creative work really
36:03 well
36:04 they're going to replace all the
36:05 creative people my experience has been
36:08 I'm finding myself more creatively alive
36:11 than
36:13 um
36:14 then I've been in a long long time
36:16 because
36:18 what the tools do is they do the low
36:20 level creative work that always got in
36:22 my way before so I would have an idea
36:24 and I'd say oh I want to go do this
36:26 creative idea and then I'd say but I
36:28 need a piece of software that does that
36:29 and then I'd Google that and then I'd
36:31 find
36:32 you know two pieces of shitty software
36:34 that were just ads and then I'd finally
36:37 find a piece of software and I'd go to
36:38 install it and it wouldn't install right
36:40 then it would be buggy and then I'd go
36:41 to YouTube try to figure out how to use
36:43 it and 45 minutes later I don't even
36:44 know what the idea was anymore
36:46 what's happening with AI is I have an
36:48 idea and then I can articulate it with
36:50 chat GPT and I can visualize it with
36:53 mid-journey or whatever tool I'm using
36:55 like like that and and that gives me new
36:58 ideas and so I I'm finding myself being
37:00 way more creatively alive than I was uh
37:03 before it so so I I think I think we're
37:06 actually entering a great Renaissance I
37:09 think we're we're entering an age
37:11 of incredible creative expression but it
37:15 is going to be done through these tools
37:17 it's going to be creative people using
37:18 these super powers to create truly
37:22 remarkable stuff so that's that's my my
37:24 two cents on the creative thing
37:27 um building fintech and want to use Ai
37:29 and ml to prevent fraud and money
37:32 laundering any advice uh yes go do that
37:34 start testing it I mean the thing about
37:38 um
37:38 large language models that
37:41 the the the the
37:42 biggest shift that my sorry
37:46 inarticulate
37:48 um
37:51 the big difference is historically if
37:54 you wanted to do something with you know
37:57 fraud and money laundering prevention
38:00 you would have to explicitly program the
38:03 logic to say you know here are all the
38:05 kinds of money laundering schemes we
38:08 might see and hear all the you know the
38:11 fraud things we might see and let's
38:12 write all these exceptions and you have
38:15 to explicitly write the logic and what
38:17 happens with these large language models
38:19 is you can say act like a you know money
38:22 laundering you know fed
38:26 um who's expert at identifying money
38:29 laundering schemes and go find the
38:31 schemes and now give me 20 ideas for how
38:33 to prevent those schemes now write the
38:35 code to find the schemes prevent them
38:38 and send me a report daily and by the
38:42 way I'm you know I'm gonna run a Cron
38:45 job that we're gonna we're gonna we're
38:47 gonna update that thing every 24 hours
38:50 right so I think your ability to iterate
38:54 um
38:55 features within the company you're
38:57 trying to create
39:00 accelerate dramatically
39:03 your fraudsters and your money
39:06 launderers also have access to these
39:08 tools so they're going to come up with
39:09 increasingly complicated schemes so so
39:12 you know you'll have your fraud
39:14 prevention agent talking to their fraud
39:16 agent and and uh you know they'll be a
39:19 constant War but I think you can iterate
39:22 very very quickly so my advice would be
39:24 just start playing start playing with
39:26 the large language models
39:27 um really explore
39:30 navigating between conceptual things
39:33 like what are the kinds of schemes that
39:36 I might find out there and then how do I
39:38 code against those and let the tools
39:40 help you come up with those and give
39:43 those to your engineers sorry late to
39:45 the party can I tell us can you tell us
39:47 what your background is how you got to
39:49 where you are today yes I have a degree
39:51 in acting
39:52 I moved to New York New York City out of
39:55 school started and ran a theater company
39:57 for four and a half years uh wrote seven
40:00 screenplays in a one-man show after that
40:02 and then in the mid 90s
40:05 um I was doing desktop publishing as my
40:07 day job and
40:09 um I stumbled on this thing called the
40:11 world wide web and I thought Hmm this
40:13 thing's interesting and I had an idea
40:15 for an online magazine and started one
40:18 of the first digital magazines a Zine
40:20 called Urban desires and
40:23 um and then from that met a guy that I
40:26 ended up co-founding a company called
40:28 agency.com with which was one of the
40:30 first digital agencies
40:32 and so built a lot of the first websites
40:34 for the Fortune 500 so one of the
40:36 reasons I started my Tick Tock Channel
40:38 um at the ripe old age of 57 that I am
40:41 uh
40:43 last thing on the planet I thought I'd
40:45 do start a tick tock Channel
40:47 um
40:48 but I think that what's happening with
40:50 AI is akin to to
40:52 [Music]
40:53 um
40:54 what I discovered with the World Wide
40:56 Web that that it's going to change
40:58 everything and I felt that in 94 when I
41:01 discovered the web
41:02 and I feel that way more profoundly now
41:05 I think that I think the changes that
41:07 are coming with AI are
41:09 um significantly
41:10 um more profound and they're coming way
41:13 way way way way faster
41:15 um than any of the any of the internet
41:18 stuff that that happened over the past
41:20 30 years
41:21 um the past decade I've been founder and
41:24 CEO of a company called storyvine which
41:26 is an automated video storytelling
41:28 platform and then I would say the last
41:30 year I've been pretty active in AI stuff
41:34 and in the past six months I've just
41:37 been absolutely obsessed with it I
41:39 cannot
41:40 um I cannot uh I can't get my head
41:43 around how fast it's moving and how
41:45 profound this stuff is which is why I'm
41:47 doing this account and even when I'm
41:49 doing these lives I don't know why I'm
41:50 doing a live
41:52 um let's see AI to grammarly
41:55 um to remove AI detection yeah again I
41:59 think all this AI detection [ __ ] is
42:01 going to be [ __ ] these large
42:02 language models are gonna literally be
42:04 everywhere I think this is a very short
42:06 window where everyone's panicking and
42:07 they have their panties and a Twist
42:09 about yeah it was written by a robot
42:11 it's not real writing and there's some
42:14 truth to that but these tools are just
42:16 going to be like having a spell check or
42:18 having grammarly you know plug-in in
42:21 your writing where it checks your you
42:23 know these things that check your
42:24 spelling and check your um your grammar
42:26 Rai right so the generative AI stuff is
42:29 just a slight variation on the theme
42:31 um these tools are going to be be
42:33 everywhere
42:34 um so you will likely always be able to
42:37 find a tool that will be able to skirt
42:39 around AI detection but I don't think I
42:43 don't think AI detection you know
42:45 whether or not something was generated
42:46 with AI is going to be all that relevant
42:48 and issue a year from now I just don't I
42:51 you know I think this is going to be
42:52 ubiquitous this is it's going to be just
42:54 like having a word processor or a
42:56 calculator right back when calculators
42:59 were invented everyone freaked out about
43:01 no one's going to need to know math
43:02 anymore because I got these fancy
43:03 machines what are we gonna do
43:06 so
43:08 all right uh image generation and AI
43:11 takes a lot more skill if you're trying
43:12 to create something specific exactly so
43:15 so the idea that it's one of the one of
43:18 the my pet peeves is that people talk
43:20 about these machines like they're just
43:22 behaving on their own Auto GPT will just
43:25 behave on its own so I guess I should be
43:27 a little careful where I tread here
43:29 but but
43:30 um
43:32 a creative act is an intentional act
43:34 right you intend to create something
43:36 specific you know for a project or or
43:40 for a goal or
43:41 I mean you might just be creating stuff
43:43 for for fun and that's fine
43:46 um but yeah those people that can say
43:48 hey I want an mg speeding down a road
43:50 you know in the in the highlands of
43:53 Scotland
43:55 um and they can turn that around quickly
43:57 those people are going to be more
43:58 valuable so absolutely I think there's
44:00 absolutely skill
44:02 um you see it all the time you see
44:04 people put stuff on Twitter that's just
44:06 all the same and then you see someone
44:07 else that does something you're like oh
44:08 my god well that probably took them
44:11 you know a month of sort of you know
44:14 thousands of images to kind of get to a
44:16 look and feel and figure out how to do
44:18 that I know I know someone that I that I
44:20 work with that is brilliant at this
44:23 stuff it took him a month or two to
44:25 figure it out
44:27 um what are the top three threats to AI
44:30 um an EMF would be a big one if all of
44:32 our computers stopped working it would
44:33 shut it down pretty quick
44:36 um
44:39 I would have said
44:41 you know prior to um
44:44 prior to chat GPT I would have said
44:46 something about government intervention
44:48 or or monopolization
44:51 but I think I think the fact that chat
44:53 CPT went to 100 million users in a month
44:56 in in a month and a half
44:59 um has forced a lot of companies out of
45:01 the woodwork and it's forced a lot of
45:03 Technology into open source and even you
45:06 know stability just released their their
45:08 large language model open source and
45:11 their image model is open source I have
45:12 a feeling stability is doing that
45:14 because
45:15 they probably have an inkling they're
45:17 getting the pants suit off them by Getty
45:20 um for their for their training models
45:21 so if they don't settle that that could
45:23 put them out of business so I have a
45:25 feeling companies like stability
45:27 understand that
45:30 that they might not survive litigation
45:34 and so I think they're putting things
45:36 out in the open source to get them out
45:37 there and you know the fact that meta's
45:40 large language model leaked and is out
45:42 in out in the open now it's in the
45:44 development Community
45:45 um the fact that there were four large
45:47 language models
45:49 um released last week the fact that some
45:51 of these image models are open source
45:54 um I don't think that governments are
45:56 going to be able to get their hand
45:57 around it
45:59 their hands really around this stuff
46:02 um it's possible but I don't see that as
46:04 a threat I see a bigger threat being
46:06 government incompetence
46:09 um kind of regulating the wrong things
46:12 um and and you know just doing stupid
46:15 [ __ ] like you know you can't use chat
46:17 tpd to write
46:19 um
46:20 okay
46:21 what are some of the other threats I
46:23 mean
46:27 if
46:30 there's enough of a negative kind of
46:32 panic out there because of Hollywood
46:34 that you know AI is gonna
46:37 destroy Humanity
46:40 that you know if someone takes one of
46:44 these Auto GPT things and kind of turns
46:46 it loose in the right way and someone
46:47 ends up you know dying or you know
46:49 people end up dying because of it I
46:51 could see there being some kind of panic
46:53 where where a lot of this stuff gets
46:56 locked down temporarily but I just I
46:58 don't think it's gonna stick so
47:01 um
47:07 I don't know I don't know I
47:11 where where I'm trying to live is in the
47:14 place that
47:15 any individual who gets curious and
47:19 explores AI right now is going to have a
47:22 disproportionately positive impact on AI
47:25 moving forward and so I'm trying to get
47:28 as many people up to speed and
47:30 enthusiastic about trying it and at
47:32 least understanding it right now is
47:34 possible because I think it's going to
47:35 precipitate lots and lots of change and
47:37 if you're on the inside of it using it
47:40 um
47:40 you can help precipitate that change in
47:42 a positive way rather than just a
47:44 destructive way right if we just leave
47:46 it up to the capitalists they're just
47:48 going to cut staff there's another model
47:51 that says hey with the same staff we can
47:53 do way more work or way better work with
47:56 the same amount of staff so there's
47:57 there's lots of different ways to
47:59 approach these tools so I don't know if
48:01 that answered your question
48:04 um
48:05 you articulated Tech frustration for
48:07 creatives perfectly by the time I
48:09 figured out the ideas gone yeah exactly
48:11 exactly that thing where you're like
48:13 you've got an idea and then you're just
48:14 trying to like just jump the hurdles to
48:17 be able to even get to a like The
48:19 Whisper of an articulation of that idea
48:21 and then it's gone so yeah absolutely
48:24 that's that's where I mean these these
48:27 generative AI tools are just a [ __ ]
48:29 superpower do I know Howard cash I do
48:32 not
48:35 um
48:35 there's uh it happens don't take it okay
48:38 hi cheers hello
48:41 um age is just a number thank you mine's
48:43 57.
48:45 it's a big one
48:47 [Music]
48:48 um thanks for your content interesting
48:50 background thank you
48:53 thanks to Mom and Dad oh I guess that's
48:55 your your name all right okay it just
48:58 I'm gonna love it let's see what else
49:01 good point about stupid government
49:03 Regulators yeah I mean like if you watch
49:05 those Tick Tock things that like the the
49:07 the Congress people didn't even know how
49:10 Wi-Fi worked much less how Tick Tock
49:12 worked much less how incredibly
49:15 transformative powerful AI tools work
49:17 like
49:19 it's [ __ ] terrifying we did um the
49:22 everyday AI newsletter that I do every
49:24 week we did it one of the
49:27 um one of the topics this week was
49:30 um this military tool where they're
49:32 using large language models to do
49:34 military logistics and it was just
49:36 absolutely terrifying but I'm sure the
49:38 military's got you know AI tools that
49:42 make what we have look comically
49:45 um simple let's see they're a very
49:47 knowledgeable AI developers all of a
49:49 sudden
49:50 um where have they been all this time
49:51 well I mean so so so listen when the
49:55 oops
49:56 when the uh when the World Wide Web
49:58 first came onto the scene the internet
50:00 had been around for a number of decades
50:02 same with AI ai's been around for a
50:05 bunch of decades
50:06 um
50:08 a couple of things have happened so so
50:10 when gpt3 came out
50:12 um in the documentation of gpt3 were the
50:15 instructions for how to build chat GPT
50:17 and Sam Walton assumed that someone in
50:20 the development company would build it
50:22 and they didn't and then
50:24 um Microsoft was about to announce that
50:26 they were going to make this billion
50:27 dollar investment into open Ai and Sam
50:30 Altman said to his Dev team you've got
50:31 two weeks put together chat GPT so they
50:34 built that in two weeks so if you feel
50:36 like chat GPT is kind of like
50:39 uh like a thin piece of software it's
50:42 because it is and you know Sam Walton
50:43 has said it's it's a bad piece of
50:45 software
50:46 um but but
50:48 it got to a hundred million users in a
50:52 month and a half
50:53 and so what that's meant is that the
50:56 entire development Community has just
50:59 flocked to
51:01 um this generative AI stuff right so so
51:03 the tech had been there for a long time
51:05 and a lot of developers have been
51:07 developing things with gpt3 and and you
51:10 know using a lot of the tools that are
51:12 sitting underneath it for for like a
51:14 year and a half before before chat GPT
51:16 came out
51:17 um but but because it got so popular
51:21 that's the thing that's generated all
51:23 this Buzz that's the thing that's forced
51:24 Google out of the shadows and and sort
51:27 of force them to put I mean they're the
51:28 ones that invented the Transformer that
51:30 all of these generative Technologies are
51:32 based on
51:34 um and they were sort of keeping it
51:35 behind the firewall and they were sort
51:36 of forced out in the open um AWS has now
51:39 been forced into the game Apple's got
51:41 something uh some announcement coming in
51:43 June that I assume is going to have some
51:44 AI stuff with it
51:46 um you know meta has been forced out of
51:48 the out of the Shadows with this stuff
51:51 um so so I think that that the developer
51:53 Community
51:55 um is is
51:57 um is just pouncing all over it the
51:59 other thing about these large language
52:00 models is
52:01 with a hundred lines of code you can
52:04 generate applications that are
52:06 incredibly sophisticated right so so I
52:09 think you've got even Junior developers
52:11 um are able to whip whip up some pretty
52:14 remarkable stuff very very quickly so
52:16 that's where I think they're I mean you
52:17 know part of it is just there's there's
52:19 all this buzz and fervor but but it's
52:21 because the tools are that good and and
52:24 uh there was all this you know
52:27 visibility because of chat GPT
52:30 um how is it possible to technically
52:31 lock it to lock what to to lock
52:35 um large language models well you could
52:37 I I you can lock it if you run a large
52:40 language model locally on a machine
52:41 that's not connected to the internet you
52:43 can now do that with like with alpaca
52:45 and and some of the things that are
52:46 built on oops my machine went to sleep
52:48 uh alpaca and some of the some of the
52:51 things that are based on
52:53 um llama and and some of these other
52:55 open large language models they're
52:57 they're getting them I forget what they
52:59 call the process what's it called
53:01 um
53:02 I don't know where they shrink it down
53:04 not miniaturization but quantization
53:08 quantumization I don't know
53:10 um
53:11 I heard of one large language model that
53:14 um they've got down to a five gigabyte
53:16 install so a five gigabyte install you
53:19 can just put that on a laptop and run it
53:20 so if you're just running a large
53:21 language model locally there's no
53:23 there's no real risk you're not sending
53:25 your data out to anyone so if that's
53:27 what you mean lock it down you know you
53:29 run it on a virtual machine or you run
53:31 it locally
53:33 um let's see please go live again soon
53:37 okay I will all right
53:40 um I've been at this for about an hour
53:41 now if anyone has any other questions
53:43 jump in there pop them in
53:46 otherwise isn't it kind of frightening
53:48 that even expert AI researchers don't
53:50 really understand how AI works yeah it's
53:51 frightening
53:53 um
53:55 I mean they they understand technically
53:58 how they work they don't quite
53:59 understand
54:01 how these emergent behaviors are
54:04 happening
54:05 so they don't really understand
54:08 you know
54:10 they shouldn't be as good as they are
54:12 right so so that's a little
54:15 disconcerting but
54:17 the thing that the Transformer did the
54:20 Transformer technology was allowed
54:22 machine learning neural networks to be
54:26 trained on massive data sets
54:28 and so what you've got with GPT three
54:31 and four is you've got a tool
54:34 that is essentially learned
54:36 all of the internet like like think
54:39 about from like the mid 90s until
54:42 September 2021 think about all of the
54:45 content that has been published in
54:48 Wikipedia and every blog and every
54:52 non-paywald news site and and every
54:55 website anything that can be crawled
54:58 um has essentially been crawled and it
55:01 knows all of that right so so when you
55:03 have that amount of stuff
55:06 um even though it's doing something that
55:08 is you know
55:11 um
55:12 probability based
55:14 um it's it's a massive massive uh data
55:18 set that it's learning from and then the
55:20 other thing that happened which I find
55:21 this fascinating
55:23 so they had gpt3 for a while and it was
55:25 okay
55:26 and then they put together this code
55:29 model I forget what it's called codex I
55:31 think or something like that what what
55:32 what GitHub co-pilot is based on they
55:35 basically trained up you know these
55:37 large language models on all of the
55:38 computer code right
55:40 so over here it learned all of the words
55:43 and over here it learned all of the code
55:45 and a funny thing happened was once it
55:47 learned all of the code it got a lot
55:49 better at the words now my thought there
55:51 is that it learned logic with the
55:53 programming and it could now take those
55:56 patterns of logic and apply those to
55:58 language right because language in a lot
56:00 of ways is human programming language
56:03 right it's you know when we talk to each
56:05 other it's it's in code there's there's
56:07 lots of different things but language is
56:08 really powerful for us as humans so
56:12 um so they saw these emergent behaviors
56:14 where the language model got better when
56:17 it got better at programming so
56:19 um I find it a little scary that I don't
56:21 understand or that they don't understand
56:23 how that actually works
56:26 um
56:27 um but but I don't know these tools are
56:30 growing so fast they're they're going to
56:32 very quickly dramatically outstrip our
56:37 capability as humans to understand them
56:39 so
56:40 I think you know
56:42 we're lucky to be able to play with them
56:44 I feel incredibly lucky right now
56:47 um
56:51 my comments about the government could
56:53 clock the AI Trend I don't think they
56:56 can I don't think they can either
56:58 um no I think because everything's open
57:00 source now I don't think the government
57:01 could get their hands around this
57:03 anymore
57:04 wait till it's used to hacks on nuclear
57:06 code and then see how fat well
57:08 yeah but so so that's the thing is is
57:11 like so so even if someone hacks the
57:13 nuclear code and something truly
57:15 horrific happens and the government says
57:17 we gotta lock this [ __ ] down
57:19 um the fact that so many of these things
57:21 have already been open sourced means
57:23 that they're open source they're they're
57:24 out there
57:25 um they can make them illegal and and
57:27 things like that but it's not gonna it's
57:29 not gonna stop people from using them so
57:32 um I I think the big commercial
57:34 companies are probably going to get
57:37 sacked with regulations right I think I
57:39 think open Ai and Microsoft and
57:41 whoever's using these things you know
57:43 Google might get them locked down but
57:45 the open source stuff they won't be able
57:48 to lock it down
57:50 um is this that Brokeback Mountain [ __ ]
57:52 I don't know what you're talking about
57:55 [Music]
57:56 um
57:57 [Music]
58:00 yeah but uh thanks for your hard work
58:03 you're welcome
58:05 um
58:08 how fast do I think the progress is to
58:11 AGI I don't know I mean
58:15 I think that you know there's there's a
58:18 Microsoft paper that was released a
58:20 month or so ago that that says gpt4
58:23 shows is showing signs of AGI
58:26 um signs of it uh it's it's a really
58:28 long paper
58:29 um it's it's worth exploring if you
58:32 don't have ADD like I do
58:35 I'll just rely on summaries of others
58:38 um
58:40 the the problem with with the term AGI
58:43 is that there's not an agreed to
58:45 definition of what it actually means
58:48 um I I think that we're past the Turing
58:51 test at this point I I some of my
58:53 interactions with chat GPT
58:56 um
58:57 it's actually the thing that makes it
58:59 makes it clear that it's not a human is
59:01 how how fast and how good it is like no
59:04 human could be that fast
59:07 um
59:07 but but AGI you know artificial general
59:11 intelligence is is very undefined right
59:14 now I think this combination of
59:18 autonomous agents and memory the ability
59:21 for these agents to act on their own
59:23 behalf remember what they did
59:26 learn from what they did
59:28 um I I think it's going to accelerate
59:30 quite quickly I mean I mean also the
59:32 fact that so many developers are doing
59:35 so much work on this technology it's
59:38 it's going to come
59:39 um quite quickly I think that Ray
59:42 Kurzweil predicted
59:44 um 2029 and I think a lot of the AI
59:48 scientists have now
59:51 um shortened their prediction to 2030 so
59:53 Ray Kurtz file has been at 2029 for a
59:56 long time the AI scientists are now down
59:59 to 2030.
1:00:00 um I'm guessing it could come faster
1:00:02 than that I I think I think we're going
1:00:04 to start to see exponential Tech
1:00:05 development
1:00:08 um
1:00:09 what's my next move for a product or
1:00:11 service to monetize it given this uh AI
1:00:14 technology for me personally
1:00:16 it's rolling AI
1:00:19 um
1:00:20 into my product but doing it in a way
1:00:22 that it it dramatically expands what
1:00:25 what my product is so I've got a video
1:00:27 technology company that that makes it
1:00:30 automates video production and allows
1:00:33 our clients to to have people tell their
1:00:35 stories really powerfully we have an app
1:00:36 that guides an end user through telling
1:00:38 their story goes up to the cloud a few
1:00:39 minutes later you got a fully edited
1:00:40 video
1:00:41 and with generative AI dramatically
1:00:44 expanding the output side of what our
1:00:47 company does but also dramatically
1:00:49 expanding the input side of it so for me
1:00:51 personally it's about rolling this stuff
1:00:54 both technically and conceptually into
1:00:57 what my company's all about because if I
1:01:00 don't the value of what we do now is
1:01:02 going to drop to zero very very quickly
1:01:04 and it's terrifying
1:01:08 um
1:01:09 oh this is great so I found myself
1:01:12 thanking chat GPT so I find myself
1:01:14 thanking it I find myself getting a
1:01:18 little guilty if I ask it to do too much
1:01:20 like if I ask it to rewrite something
1:01:21 for like the sixth time if if it were a
1:01:25 human I would just not I wouldn't have
1:01:27 asked them the third time to rewrite it
1:01:28 you know so
1:01:30 um
1:01:31 there there's something about
1:01:34 um talking to chat GPT as if it's like a
1:01:38 creative collaborator
1:01:40 um where you where you talk to it like a
1:01:42 human and you give it more context
1:01:44 um it I think it generates better work
1:01:46 um whether or not you actually need to
1:01:47 thank it I don't think it means anything
1:01:49 to it
1:01:50 um but I think if if there's something
1:01:52 about the tone of how you write
1:01:55 um it's doing predictive you know
1:01:57 answering on the other side of it so the
1:01:59 more context that you give it
1:02:02 um the more it colors what you get back
1:02:04 so maybe it gets a little more pleasant
1:02:06 in its responses to you as well because
1:02:08 it because you're doing that so I do too
1:02:11 like I you know I think we
1:02:13 anthropomorphize a lot of things anyway
1:02:15 we certainly do it with pets right
1:02:18 um so I think it's going to be really
1:02:19 easy to do it with these tools
1:02:21 especially if you see some of the some
1:02:22 of the tools that are you know
1:02:24 synthesizing you know people's faces and
1:02:27 voices and putting a chat GPT behind it
1:02:29 and if it does it quickly where you're
1:02:31 just talking to someone and it's talking
1:02:32 back to you
1:02:33 um yeah we're gonna pretty quickly get
1:02:35 to the someone asked that before about
1:02:37 how close to her do I think we are I
1:02:40 think we're probably
1:02:42 hell of a lot closer than we were than
1:02:45 we were a year ago I mean
1:02:47 I would say probably within
1:02:52 within three years we'll have robots
1:02:54 that are not as weird as they are now
1:02:56 and within five we'll probably have ones
1:02:59 that are that are pretty remarkable and
1:03:02 I think probably within
1:03:04 two years we'll have virtual you know
1:03:06 on-screen
1:03:07 you know like you're chatting with
1:03:09 someone on FaceTime but it'll be a bot
1:03:10 and it'll just be like talking to
1:03:12 someone I think that's probably within
1:03:14 two years have I used the Chrome
1:03:16 extension web chat GPT there's a bunch
1:03:19 of extensions out there um I've used
1:03:21 some of them my problem is things are
1:03:23 moving so fast I like I installed like
1:03:26 every time I install something it shows
1:03:28 up as a feature in in some tools so I'm
1:03:31 just I'm just trying to slow roll what I
1:03:33 install
1:03:34 I'm not located in New York I'm an ex
1:03:37 New Yorker I miss New York
1:03:39 um I will definitely go back to New York
1:03:41 but I'm not there right now I'm in
1:03:43 Denver it will collapse the stock market
1:03:45 I think it's going to have dramatic
1:03:47 impact on everything I don't know if
1:03:49 it's going to collapse the stock market
1:03:50 it could it could
1:03:52 um expand it but I don't know AI will be
1:03:56 doing the trading I agree with that it
1:03:57 to a lot of degree
1:03:59 a lot of those speed trading systems are
1:04:02 all AI anyway like that's the thing none
1:04:05 of this AI stuff is new like ai's been
1:04:07 around for decades right what's new is
1:04:09 us as real people now have access to
1:04:12 these tools that are you know
1:04:15 otherworldly powerful
1:04:19 um
1:04:20 AI to analyze technical analysis for
1:04:22 stock trading yeah if you want to if you
1:04:23 want to play with that
1:04:25 um go to gpt4 3.5 or 4 whatever chat GPT
1:04:29 three or four
1:04:31 um tell it to recommend a stock trading
1:04:34 site that does paper trading right where
1:04:36 you can do it without real money I mean
1:04:38 if listen if you got lots of money and
1:04:39 you want to go blow it do that
1:04:41 um but but go to a site that's got paper
1:04:43 trading that has Bots
1:04:45 and then either go find a bot or two
1:04:47 that you like copy and paste the code
1:04:49 out of it
1:04:50 um put it into chat GPT and have it you
1:04:53 know you can have it Mash two Bots
1:04:55 together or you can just say hey cheche
1:04:57 EBT give me five different strategies
1:04:59 for trading and then and then say write
1:05:01 me a bot for this particular site you
1:05:04 know in the following code and it'll do
1:05:05 that and then you can go play with it
1:05:07 and try it so yeah I think you can
1:05:10 um you can absolutely use AI to do
1:05:12 technical analysis
1:05:15 um and and you know and you know buy and
1:05:17 sell triggers and stop losses and all
1:05:19 that sort of happy horse crap I'm
1:05:21 horrible at that stuff so I'm not going
1:05:24 to touch that oh I would do it with um
1:05:27 with paper trading right uh but but with
1:05:29 real money it's just it's ridiculous for
1:05:32 me to do something like that advice for
1:05:33 someone experienced in server
1:05:34 development for 20 years next career
1:05:36 move I think right now uh you know the
1:05:39 if if you're in if you're in server
1:05:41 development I mean there's
1:05:45 like
1:05:46 the need to have service they need to
1:05:48 have computers running you know isn't
1:05:50 going to go down it's going to go up
1:05:56 um just get um
1:05:57 get as knowledgeable as you can about
1:05:59 this AI stuff just learn as much as you
1:06:02 can in your field or in something you're
1:06:04 interested in even if it's not in your
1:06:06 field just start getting
1:06:08 um as educated as you can with it um
1:06:11 with things like security and coding I I
1:06:14 would I would start digging deep into
1:06:15 autonomous agents I think things like
1:06:17 server maintenance and and
1:06:20 um keeping like devops kind of stuff
1:06:23 keeping
1:06:24 um libraries up to date all of that
1:06:26 stuff is going to go from really
1:06:28 complicated hard-coded systems that you
1:06:31 either have to pay for or build yourself
1:06:32 to just have some version of Auto GPT
1:06:35 just go do it for you right or an
1:06:38 autonomous agent could do it for you
1:06:40 so if you understand those tools and can
1:06:42 go build those tools
1:06:44 um uh you're gonna you're gonna be in
1:06:46 high demand I think
1:06:47 um so
1:06:49 um just get get going
1:06:51 hang on
1:06:54 um yeah we'll do the trading I'll be
1:06:56 doing the learning it will collapse the
1:06:58 stock market
1:06:59 let's see I got chat 250 to write a
1:07:01 piece with extreme emotion and emojis
1:07:04 yeah it'll write with Emojis it's pretty
1:07:05 good it'll write tables too if you
1:07:07 haven't gotten chat GPD to write a table
1:07:09 for you it's pretty pretty amazing
1:07:12 um you do realize that the more people
1:07:13 that hand over their thinking process to
1:07:15 AI the quicker we go no I don't agree
1:07:17 with that and I don't I'm not handing
1:07:19 over my thinking process to AI I'm
1:07:21 handing over the crappy low-level
1:07:23 tactical execution [ __ ] that I hate
1:07:27 that gets in the way of my creative
1:07:28 thinking I'm giving that to AI I'm
1:07:31 taking the high-end strategic stuff so I
1:07:34 you know
1:07:35 any any anyone who
1:07:38 it's so easy right now to to give into
1:07:41 the robots are going to kill us
1:07:44 um I think it's actually a tougher place
1:07:46 to go to go to the to the Light Side
1:07:49 come to the light come to the light it's
1:07:51 going to be okay
1:07:54 um I like my new t-shirt thank you oh
1:07:57 it's got crap all over it what's on
1:07:58 there
1:08:00 dinner
1:08:01 [Laughter]
1:08:04 um thank you for your advice how about
1:08:05 digging into the development of chat gbt
1:08:07 apis and other type of apis
1:08:11 um yeah I should do that I should do
1:08:12 some stuff on apis I do I do a lot of
1:08:14 work well not a lot of work I've built a
1:08:16 number of tools using zapier um doing
1:08:18 automations no code tools where I'll
1:08:21 take inputs from a form and then
1:08:24 um take those inputs roll them into a
1:08:28 prompt for chat GPT send it off get the
1:08:31 result back and then send out an email
1:08:32 so I've built I built a number of
1:08:34 content generation tools with that
1:08:37 um but yeah I mean listen the apis for
1:08:39 these things have been out for years so
1:08:41 so a lot of developers have been using
1:08:43 them so this isn't as new as it seems um
1:08:46 just what's new is our access to it um
1:08:48 like you're thinking very professional
1:08:49 and pleasant to listen to thank you
1:08:51 thanks for your time I've been using a
1:08:53 chat gbt to use the API and it works
1:08:55 well yeah the apis are clean the apis
1:08:58 um for
1:09:00 um DaVinci 003 are quicker than chat GPT
1:09:03 because jet gbt is overloaded I think
1:09:06 that's going to balance out pretty soon
1:09:07 I still don't have access to the 4.0 the
1:09:11 gpt4 API which is bumming me out but
1:09:14 whatever
1:09:14 uh
1:09:17 um I'd make a great host for an AR AI
1:09:19 maker type show thank you very much I
1:09:21 appreciate that I'm gonna have to do
1:09:23 something with the hair
1:09:24 [Laughter]
1:09:25 by virtue of asking your questions to AI
1:09:27 it begins to analyze human thought
1:09:29 process yeah I think I think rather than
1:09:31 it's it's not really analyzing anything
1:09:34 um it I think
1:09:36 I think what these GPT tools are
1:09:38 actually doing is reflecting Humanity
1:09:41 right it's been trained on most of the
1:09:43 crap we've written for the past three or
1:09:45 four decades so and and you know way
1:09:48 before that right obviously all the
1:09:50 historical stuff that's there
1:09:52 um the hair is perfect yeah the hair is
1:09:54 special the hair looks like I could run
1:09:56 a jet ski off it
1:09:58 um all right I gotta run
1:10:01 thank you all for your time and hanging
1:10:03 out and uh yeah we'll talk soon I'll
1:10:06 make another video or two but thanks
1:10:08 everybody take care
