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!

0:00 foreign 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
