7/15/2025 - Exploring AI Tools and Creative Expression with Chef Kelly and Gareth

Transcript

1. 0:02We're live now. The tick tockers tick tockers are fine with me. They're like, I'm live. [Music]
2. 0:39Sill in this lonely town. Wonder when things are going to change. Dream my life away. Seems these dreams have turned to a
3. 0:53bunch dust clouds. Getting my nerve up, but my past is pulling me down. Wondering how long
4. 1:07this black sheep don't stick around. [Music] Somebody told me once before, he said, "You can never go home again.
5. 1:21When won't you leave?" Santa thanks to steer me away from the truth of who I am and what I believe. So I thanked him for two sins
6. 1:34with handshake and some sympathy. Yeah. I packed up my blue jeans and headed for this big price of my freedom.
7. 1:50Bye-bye black sheep to the black sheep of the family. Bye-bye. All right. Um, happy Tuesday everybody.
8. 2:06Uh, I hope you had a chance to come to the AI Salon meet and greet tonight. If you did, you will know that it was a
9. 2:14really, really, really good conversation. Um, if you didn't, that's that's a life choice. That's a choice. That's a choice you've made.
10. 2:28Um, [Music] oh yeah, and it will be available on demand at the AI salon. Uh, so if you go
11. 2:46to the salon.ai and look at watch our past recordings, it's right in there.
12. 3:05Um, yeah. Tik Tok, get get your asses prepared for not doing this on Tik Tok by September. [Music]
13. 3:21[Applause] [Music]
14. 3:43in a westerly direction. [Music] This car is my train driving. And I've been wondering
15. 3:59what it is I'm long from again. Feel like an idiot old man holding on to 29. And overhead on that horizon
16. 4:17is a California line. [Music] Up ahead of trucks carrying a wide load.
17. 4:31Preap house cut in half. Cute little front door and two windows. My lawn. Ain't sure whether to cry or should laugh.
18. 4:44You see, I broke a home up myself once. As I stumbled to that door, I read a note by the dawn light. It said, "Don't you come around here
19. 5:00[Applause] anymore." Well, I've had enough. All this freedom around. Never was good with decision.
20. 5:17At least that's what I've been told. [Music] Um,
21. 5:32all right. What are we going to do? What do you want to talk about tonight? Hey, I got an idea. We could talk about AI.
22. 5:39You know, one of the things I learned tonight, we have a community of people who are putting a lot of [ __ ] energy into
23. 5:52keeping up with AI, educating people about AI, building stuff with AI, and like the sense I got tonight was a
24. 6:07general kind of exhaustion at how How many people just don't want to [ __ ] hear it? Don't care. Don't want
25. 6:23to hear it. Don't want to learn about AI. And like the people that are learning about it are like, I got I got I got
26. 6:29this secret. I got the I there's something happen. It's right. It's here right now. It's here right now. It's
27. 6:35going to change everything. It could change your life right now. And then and then other people like I don't care. or
28. 6:43worse, you're an [ __ ] for trying to do something. That's exhausting. Steo, check out my image of Kyle's life. It's an irregulars. Oh boy.
29. 6:57Oh boy. There we go. Steo with his pretty pictures. Where's I don't have an AI learning lab up. What's going on with that? Or an AI
30. 7:08salon. AI salon. Iselon.mn.co. Let's see. Come on, people. Where are we? Oh, we're in a regulars. We're in a
31. 7:24regulars. There's Charles Adams. What did he make here? Golden retriever doing standup. [Laughter]
32. 7:39There you go. Look at that. It's about right. Whose channel am I on? Where do I watch him? What do I do? It's pretty good. It's pretty good.
33. 7:55Solid Storybine shirt. Logo's a little The little icon dude is a little wrong, but pretty [ __ ] close. [Music]
34. 8:51I heard there was a secret call. David played and it pleased the Lord. You're singing champion. You don't really care for music, do you?
35. 9:09Goes like this. The fourth, the fifth minor fall and the major lift baffle king composing. Hallelujah. [Music]
36. 9:26Hallelujah. Hallelujah. [Music] Hallelujah. [Music] Hallelujah.
37. 9:41[Music]
38. 10:47Okay, we singing. What are we doing? Tik Tok pin. There's no pin. This is seriously one seriously one of the most beautiful
39. 10:56songs ever written. Isn't it a stunning song? You know, you know the thing that just busts me about it every time? I
40. 11:03mean, first of all, the imagery, but uh um let me see. Uh the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, and the major lift
41. 11:18king composing. Hallelujah. I just love that it it's like he couldn't he he he didn't have the lyrics, so he was like, well, [Music]
42. 11:33The fourth, the fourth, the fifth. Wait, wait. The fourth, the fifth minif composing. Hallelujah.
43. 11:48Just beautiful. [ __ ] Leonard Cohen, man. Just beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Play with act two, Kylie.
44. 11:57Hey, Joy Party. I don't really know what to do there. Do I gotta record a video? Is it It's just It's just recording a
45. 12:03video and then transferring the motion, right? I love your singing. Oh, thank you very much, Alex. I appreciate that.
46. 12:10I uh I would not consider myself as a singer. Uh but but thank you. I try like I like I like the act of singing. It's
47. 12:19just that when it comes out of my face, it doesn't sound like what I want it to. But I gotta tell you, singing a bunch of
48. 12:30songs like every night for the past two years, you know, I'm a little more comfortable with it. I just got here. What would you say?
49. 12:38Would you say that's in double waltz time? Um, [Music] [Music]
50. 12:56wait. 1 2 3. >> Yeah, it's double waltz or sometimes they call it a I think they call it a big two [Music]
51. 13:07autotune. AI autotune. Yeah, exactly. This my singing voice is what happens when you don't have AI autotune. [Music]
52. 13:161 2 3 1 2 3 1 Wait. One, two, three, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three.
53. 13:27So it's like one wait one two one two one two one two. [Music]
54. 13:43Yeah. So it's in it's in some weirdass waltsy double walts big two kind of thing. 68 68 I think is right. [Music]
55. 14:04I also sang this. The one I sang earlier is Is this place I can rest my forhead is also a waltz to gather my thoughts in sweet silence.
56. 14:21And is this place where the feelings on dead 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 from an overexposure to violence. And is this place I can slowly face the
57. 14:35only one I truly can know. These are tears from a long time ago. >> Okay, enough comedy jokes. That was really funny. He was hilarious.
58. 14:50He was pretending like he could sing. I didn't realize this was a comedy channel, too. But thank you for the compliments. Even
59. 15:01though even though I am I I seem to be genetically predisposed to not be able to take compliments, I do appreciate
60. 15:07them. You know what's funny? When you have when you have whatever combination of crazy straw [ __ ] brain I have where
61. 15:17you know your ADD like I'm super like a high empath super sensitive ADD all that [ __ ] is you have this bizarre
62. 15:29combination of overconfidence um low self-esteem massive craving for attention and then absolute terror if you get any attention.
63. 15:46It's It's a special life. Why not? Why the [ __ ] not? Why not, people? Hey, listen. Here's what we do
64. 15:58here. My name is Kyle Shannon and uh we talk about AI. We talk about what it is, why it is, why it's important, how it's going to impact
65. 16:11work, how it's going to impact your flipping job, how it's going to impact my flipping job. Um, the fact that the the big frontier
66. 16:21companies these days are doing things that are maybe not with humanity at the center, at the front and center. they're just
67. 16:33being like big ass tech companies. Um, and yet there's a real need for putting people at the center of these
68. 16:46technologies and amplifying what they do and making them better. Um, so we're in fascinating times. So if anyone has any questions,
69. 16:55same chords as Dylan's times they are changing. Oh, that's cool. times they are a changing. Did y'all see that there? Timothy
70. 17:05Shalomé depiction of ye old Bob Dylan. I thought he was pretty [ __ ] swell. He was pretty [ __ ] swell. I also
71. 17:17thought like I get that Bob Dylan's a [ __ ] recluse, but like he didn't [ __ ] like even text Timothy Shalomé
72. 17:32about that [ __ ] performance. Never met him. Didn't say, "Hey, good job, kid." I thought that was kind of dicky.
73. 17:42It's like, I mean, I get you don't want to come out of the house, but come on. Worst concert I ever went to. That doesn't surprise me.
74. 17:52It's actually It's really good. It's It was a really good film. It was very well done. Very well put together. Um
75. 18:02yeah, Joy Party. I the only reason I'm not showing um act two is I I just found out about it this afternoon and then we
76. 18:09had the salon and I haven't played with it. Part of my frustration with act one and act two which basically what they
77. 18:17are is you can take any video of yourself acting or in my case overacting and you can apply it to some other image and it it
78. 18:28will pick up the performance. Um, my problem with it is it's really short. It's really short. It's really short. Shout out to Reclusive
79. 18:41Artistic Gemini. Very nice. Show Kimberly Offford's demo on LinkedIn then. Kimberly Offred's demo on LinkedIn. I didn't see that.
80. 18:53Let me go find it. Oh, who's who's this one? Chef Kelly did a really good Let's look at Chef Kelly's actually. Let me change my tabs up here
81. 19:05because I'm I'm about to get Yeah, I just got I just got branded. Not branded. Brandon. I got Brandon. Kyle, change your tabs so people can
82. 19:16hear you. If you don't change your tabs, they can't hear you. You know that, right? Did you know that? Did you know that? Yeah, I knew that.
83. 19:25I knew that. I was I'm quite clear on the situation. Okay. So, Chef Kelly, what's she say here? Introducing my alter ego and narrator of
84. 19:41a little animated short called Red Die number three, The Dye That Wouldn't Die, which is a great title, by the way. It's
85. 19:47a dash of big food, a heaping of of a heaping handful of FDA, and just a pinch of AI. Okay, a lot of AI, but it turned
86. 19:54out to be darn tasty. A little dish of synthetic food dyes on government coverups. Your feedback is welcome. I
87. 20:01know Kyle will ask about my chain of craft, and it was lengthy, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. So,
88. 20:10one of the things that starts to happen with AI, if you haven't seen this, this is really good. One of the things that starts to happen
89. 20:20with AI is when you're first learning here, let me uh I can't show you on the screen. When you're first learning,
90. 20:32everything feels overwhelming. Everything feels like um I'll never be able to learn this. I can't do it. I don't know what to do. I
91. 20:42don't know what's going on. And then and then after a while, you start to get the hang of it and you're like, okay, I got
92. 20:48this tool. I got that tool. And then you start to mix and match those tools and you can go, "Oh, I could
93. 20:56stitch this together with that to do that." And then there's a tipping point. Who was it? I think it was Cindy [ __ ]
94. 21:04today. Was it Cindy [ __ ] I think so. She was talking about you don't just go out on a golf course and
95. 21:14and expect to hit, you know, a bomb of a drive or to hit a low score in golf. And yet people with AI, they just they they
96. 21:24assume that if they just jump in with AI, they're going to be good at it right out of the gate because they think that
97. 21:31AI is the genius, right? They they were told AI is a genius. It's smarter than all the PhDs. And so people have this expectation that
98. 21:39AI is the genius. And so it's the equivalent of like walking onto a driving range and expecting to be able
99. 21:45to know how to hit a golf ball and you can't. And then you're like, "Well, golf sucks, right?" What ends up happening is
100. 21:53if you start to put in enough time, the tools themselves start to fade into the background and who you are starts to
101. 22:03come into the foreground. And you can accelerate this by feeding your prompt you right feeding your prompt your ideas, your questions, your
102. 22:15point of view, your expertise about how you think about the world or think about branding or in this case think about a
103. 22:22particular issue. When you start to feed your prompt the things that are important to you, what AI does is it
104. 22:29amplifies you. And so this to me feels like an incredible example of someone who has been just grinding, grinding,
105. 22:39grinding on learning the tools of AI enough that the tools start to fade to the background, right? Why did Michael Jordan shoot a thousand
106. 22:54three free throws a day or whatever it was some the crazy thing, right? The barrier of entry is on the floor.
107. 23:03Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. You just got to you just got to pick up the [ __ ] and start playing. And in playing then you get to
108. 23:11do stuff. So anyway, so let's let's watch her video. >> Can you believe that red dye number three has been linked to cancer since the 1980s?
109. 23:20But somehow it's remained in your food, your drinks, your medications for over 40 years. Why? because the FDA, the
110. 23:28regulatory government system that's supposed to protect us, was never really designed to do so in the first place.
111. 23:35This is the story of how easy it is for dangerous additives to get FDA approval, stay legal, and end up in your kitchen.
112. 23:46Synthetic dyes began as cold hard derivatives. Literally the byproduct of burning, >> right? It's just it's a cool style. It's
113. 23:54got that cool kind of Pixar style like the the you know the kitchen this you know the topic is there in the kitchen.
114. 24:02She she took the time to learn, you know, whether whatever this was probably dscript or something like that to do
115. 24:07these cool, you know, subtitles, right? It's cool voice. Cosmic lover, hello regulars and Kyle, I have a question about the live stream
116. 24:21here. Ask away. Very 3D feel. Yeah, exactly. If I wanted to create an avatar of you, how could you replace? How could how how
117. 24:34would I don't know? You just take a screenshot of me and basically do what what Kell like there's plenty of video
118. 24:41out there of me. You just take one of my videos, clone my voice in 11 Labs and you know upload a screenshot of me into um
119. 24:53>> into uh what you call it uh MidJourney or uh chat GPT say make it into a character throw it into Hedra. >> I like I think
120. 25:03>> in the early 20th century hundreds were used in everything from lipsticks to lollipops. There were no real safety
121. 25:10standards. That changed in 1960 when the FDA introduced the color additive amendments for Venon. Every dye needed
122. 25:19FDA approval and red dye number three was among the first to be pending safety review. But here's the first red flag.
123. 25:26The FDA never ran their own safety tests. They took safety data directly from the manufacturers themselves.
124. 25:33What I mean what what strikes me about this if this is her first effort out of the gate. This feels like a brandable like she's
125. 25:44got Chef Kelly on her little lapel. It's got this very distinct look and feel. It's well edited. The copywriting is good. Like I don't know
126. 25:59what's what's powerful about this is I don't know the boundary of what's AI and what she did. I mean I know she
127. 26:07generated it with AI and she probably had Chad GBT help with script structure or things like that. Maybe it wrote the
128. 26:14whole thing. Maybe it was half and half. But like this is a wellp put together storytelling piece, right?
129. 26:28If you wanted to create an avatar of you, oh, I see. How would you replace yourself with an AI Kyle that you
130. 26:34control with your movement? The tech isn't quite there yet. If if uh right now what you have to do with that is there's a there's a 3D
131. 26:50there's a motion graphics package. It might be an after effects. It might be in After Effects, but
132. 27:04basically you can create a rigged 3D character that you can have a live video feed go in and animate the rigged
133. 27:13character based on the video feed. Um, I've been waiting for that for some time now. It doesn't doesn't actually exist.
134. 27:22Um, but she's a chef and look how amazing this is. Joy Pretty, that's it. Joy Pertie is a sleep technician or
135. 27:29sleep analyst. Um, Chef Kelly's a chef and look what she did here. But, but again, in both of those cases, why is this good?
136. 27:39This is good because Chef Kelly had a story to tell. She had a point of view. She had a creative point of view.
137. 27:47She knows what good storytelling is. Joy Perie has stories to tell that she's wanted to tell all of her all of her
138. 27:53life and hasn't had the tools to do it. So what AI allows, if you allow it, if you allow it to be an amplifier of you,
139. 28:08it allows you to do remarkable things. Um, Mr. wants to know, I have no idea what tool she used here. I would assume it was Hedra.
140. 28:17Um, and then everything else is probably just I I'm guessing uh I don't you know runway maybe runway for the image generation.
141. 28:36I've been thinking what apps could help with that. I don't think there's anything right now Cosmic Lover that's
142. 28:41that's AI generated. Oh, Vigle. Vigle might do it just like this lady. Yeah, I I don't think this was captured. I don't think
143. 28:51this was captured real time. >> The manufacturer pays a lab. The lab runs the tests and then the tests say it's safe.
144. 28:59>> The FDA doesn't even test the die, doesn't replicate the data, doesn't publish it. They just review the report
145. 29:06and give a green light, often without even letting the public see the actual studies. It's the same playbook you'll
146. 29:13find in the grass program, GR RAS, or generally recognized as safe. It's where companies self-affirm an ingredient as
147. 29:21safe with basically zero oversight from the FDA. Red 3 may not have been grass, but it was treated with the same lazy leniency.
148. 29:31In 1995, government scientists found that red three caused thyroid cancer in rats. >> Anyway, we don't we don't need to watch
149. 29:40the whole thing. I think you get the basic idea like this could absolutely be a series, right? This could be a series
150. 29:46that gets popular that rises above the noise. It's got a clear brand if she did a clear call to action in this VO3 Tik
151. 29:54Tok short for archetypal. Cool. Um, let's see in irregulars AI salon. I did a cool thing today that I did in
152. 30:10V3. I'll show you that in a second here. Um [Music]
153. 30:26tabs black bar. Where's producer Brandon? E, [Music] where am I looking? What am I looking
154. 30:41for? Archetypal. Have you ever seen a golden gold golden retriever standup? >> It's going to open in a new tab.
155. 30:56>> Oh, good lord. Oh, I just can't take the world. The world exhausts me.
156. 31:12All right, you can all see it now, right? Where's the Chef Kelly video from? What's it titled? It's on LinkedIn under
157. 31:20her account and it's called the dye that wouldn't die. Red dye number three, the dye that wouldn't die, which is a great title by the way.
158. 31:31>> Freaking superpower. And my name one other animal that can throw. Throwing is a freaking superpower. And my best
159. 31:38friend can spam it all day. Launch one, champ. Yeah. Um, here. Let me show you a thing I did in Flow today in uh
160. 31:56in Google V3. So, this was kind of cool. Okay. So, I gotta copy this. Hang on. I know. I'm going to move it over to the right tab.
161. 32:16So, I was working with um I I was speaking to a group um within within content evolution and they were looking at they they just
162. 32:28wanted me to demo like what are some of the state-of-the-art things to be able to very rapidly um prototype something.
163. 32:37And one of the guys was talking about basically a rapid response system um for natural disasters that was very very timely
164. 32:48um that got the word out to people about hey go to this specific high school like if you're in this specific area go to
165. 32:54this specific high school right and so as like actually as he was describing the situation I thought oh that could be
166. 33:02something cool you could do in VO as like a real time update and so so I just typed in the prompt fireman in North
167. 33:12Carolina Woods says it's 2:15 p.m. July 15th and says go to the McGillicuy High School. There's a full evacuation in effect. And so here's
168. 33:23>> it's 2:15 p.m. July 15th. Go to McGillicuy High School now. There is a full evacuation. >> Right. Um,
169. 33:33if you're in North Carolina, that's what the North Carolina woods looks like. It looks like a fireman. It looks like
170. 33:39there's some urgency here. Um, here's another one. He's not looking at the camera, but it's still pretty good.
171. 33:48>> It's 2:15 p.m. July 15th. Go to McGulla High School now. There. >> And then the guy didn't quite understand. And he was like, or someone
172. 33:58else chimed in and they were like, "Well, but what if it was like in California on the Pacific Coast Highway." And then I said, "Well, then
173. 34:07you would change the prompt to say paramedic on the Pacific Coast Highway and you know, avoid the PCH tsunami
174. 34:16eminent, right?" And so, so I did I made this in real time. >> It's 2:30 p.m. July 15th. Avoid the PCH.
175. 34:26Tsunami imminent. Go to McGillicuy High School now. It's 2:30 p.m. July 15th. Avoid the PCH. Tsunami imminent. Go to McGillicuy.
176. 34:38Now, what's cool about this is you could absolutely take structured data out of a disaster response system
177. 34:49and turn it into structured JSON prompts and send them to V3 as a an API call and then like text these things out to people, right?
178. 35:03Nothing potentially terrible about this. Well, there's there's lots of potentially terrible things about it,
179. 35:09Pate, but it could it could also it could also be the kind of thing where, you know, people get a sense of urgency
180. 35:16because what what this effectively recreates is having a journalist, you know, wait for a paramedic to get to a
181. 35:27scene, to get the camera crew there to record it live, to put it out on broadcast. like you could break these
182. 35:33things down to very very geographic specific things. So you could tie this, you know, to a to an announcement system um and and do
183. 35:44it in a way that it makes things relevant and urgent. So anyway, um I can make one for every city and release it once. Yeah.
184. 35:58Or a PSA to avoid illegal ICE checks. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you can do that too. You can do that too, Joy. Um, [Music]
185. 36:10it's the Bigfoot voice. It's totally the Bigfoot voice that especially that North Carolina one with the slight southern
186. 36:16accent. That was the other thing. Like, listen, this guy kind of sounds California >> now. It's 2:30 p.m. July 15th. Avoid the PC,
187. 36:26>> right? And then this dude from North Carolina kind of has a little North Carolina action going.
188. 36:33>> It's 2:15 p.m. July 15th. Go to McGulla High School now. There is a full evacuation. It's >> so anyway.
189. 36:45All right. I I Yeah, there you go. There you go. How do you spellch checkck Chef Kelly on LinkedIn? Oh, how do you spell Chef Kelly?
190. 37:02Hold, please. [Music]
191. 37:18Chef Kelly, I do not know. Where did I have
192. 37:34There it was. All right. She is Oops. She is Kelly Anderson. It's at the real Chef Kelly.
193. 37:53Kelly Anderson. The real Chef Kelly. All right.
194. 38:08[Music] Oh, yes. Gareth had a video, too. Oh, Gareth. Gareth. Gareth. Gareth. What are we
195. 38:24going to do with you? Gareth. Gareth. Was Was it in irregulars? Where did he put it? Where did he put it? Where did he put it?
196. 38:37Where is it, Brandon? I can't find it. >> Uh, I DM'd it to you right before the show started it. You also had it up on another tab.
197. 38:46>> Yes, that brother. Yes. Carrying on then. Cheerio. Pip pip. All right, we'll go over to YouTube. We'll stop this here. Stop this here.
198. 38:58We'll get this URL. We'll go back to our tab that we're sharing. We're going to go in here. We're going to put it here.
199. 39:04We're gonna do this. It's going to be so good. All right. So, this is Gareth. This is another another irregular. So, we got
200. 39:11Chef Kelly. It's like showand tell night here at the here at the learning lab. Uh this is a a trailer official sci-fi
201. 39:21short film trailer from one Gareth Gareth Hood sent a message. Fantastic. Fantastic. Bob, tell him what he's won. He doesn't
202. 39:33want anything. He's just He's got a trailer for a movie. Does he have the movie? I don't know. [Music]
203. 39:43>> In a world on the brink, they promised us more. Strength beyond limits, minds unbound. To be perfect, to transcend our
204. 39:54fragile forms, to merge with the infinite, one bot at a time. But perfection has a price. They weren't just enhancing us. They
205. 40:06were invading, consuming, turning our bodies into vessels for something ancient and cold. They were rewriting us
206. 40:15for their ascent. Now, as the line between flesh and code vanishes, one question remains. Can we fight back
207. 40:25before we become them? Loved ones twisted into strangers. Memories overwritten by code. In the mirror, your
208. 40:34reflection glitches. A stranger stares back, hungry for control. The fight isn't just for survival. It's
209. 40:43for the fragments of self that remain. Tear out the invader. Reclaim your soul before the ascent claims us all. [Music]
210. 41:01Nice. You >> know, one of the things I saw today, beautiful, Gareth, really nice work. Um, one of the things I saw today, I saw a
211. 41:10Tik Tok of a woman who works in Hollywood and and I guess works for one of the big studios and she says, "You
212. 41:17know what? What I'm seeing in Hollywood, like the the in demand skill right now is the skill that you guys are all
213. 41:28demonstrating tonight. Joy Perie, um, Chef Kelly, Gareth, all this stuff. Um, is the ability to know which tools to
214. 41:39use when, the ability to prompt things into existence, the ability to take a script and bring that script to life.
215. 41:48um is a skill that's in demand right now and there's going to be a relatively short window. It's probably going to be
216. 41:54three years might it might be shorter than that but it's probably like starting now for the next at least year
217. 42:00and a half two years maybe three where people who are not in the film industry will be able to enter the film industry.
218. 42:11The film industry make no mistake is not going away. It's not going away. How you produce films is going to transform radically
219. 42:23just like it did with CGI, just like it did with digital, just like it did with color, just like it did with talkies.
220. 42:30Right? When films went from silent to talkies, an entire generation of actors lost their jobs. It ruined careers
221. 42:43because all of a sudden voice mattered and believability mattered and a lot of the silent film actors had shitty voices. Didn't didn't live,
222. 42:56you know, didn't didn't live well on screen. Um, so there's a really interesting opportunity right now. So,
223. 43:03if you're really into this stuff, I would I would, you know, start start following Hollywood groups. Now, are you going to get flamed out by
224. 43:17existing Hollywood motion graphics people and editors and cinematographers? Yep, you are. Right. AI talent right now is the equivalent of
225. 43:29scabs in every industry. But it's a new medium of expression. It is a new medium of expression. Whether or not anyone wants to accept
226. 43:42that, it's a new medium of expression. And if you're good at that, Shane saw I need to be more into it and
227. 43:49have the funds to use all these good tools. So Shane saw apply for every creative partner program for every video tool. I saw I saw
228. 44:00someone put out a a video on Tik Tok the other day. It had a grid of 5 by4. It was 20 different video tools and they're
229. 44:08like, "Okay, today we're going to put these four together." And it it highlighted them on this grid. There are so many video tools. Get your
230. 44:16ass in a creative partner program and get, you know, get 10,000 credits or a million credits depending on how they do their credits. Um
231. 44:33Lily and daddy. Um, it's the future and just do your vision. Just do it right. Never settle. Yes. Yes. Have a vision. Chef Kelly. I
232. 44:48remember Chef Kelly, I don't know, six months ago, eight months ago on one of the maybe on the Friday office hours
233. 44:55saying something like, "I I I really want to get my head around this. I've got some things I want to do, right?" And now she did that thing.
234. 45:04Yeah, I see it. I see it, Brandon. I I'll go there. I just my my problem with LTX Studio right now is I don't I
235. 45:11haven't played with it in so long that I don't know how to use it. There's a contest right now at LTX Studio. Um, is it.com?
236. 45:22>> I put the link in the on the sticky. >> Oh, okay. Cool. I We're talking about all this creativity and and on the back of what we've seen
237. 45:34from Gareth and um, Chef Kelly tonight um, and you and Archetypable. Uh this this feels like good fodder for >> in the neighborhood. Yeah.
238. 45:46>> Yeah. In the neighborhood. Not just LTX, but just this this uh contest specifically. >> Okay, cool. Um beyond the prompt, what
239. 45:55does creativity mean nicely done website. I wonder if they I wonder if they vibe coded this. So this is LTX Studio. If you don't know
240. 46:06LTX Studio, so LTX Studio is a really interesting product. It is a it is an assemblage of different tools that are put together
241. 46:22into a single storytelling workflow. So, you basically start out with a concept and LTX Studios will help you write the
242. 46:29outline, create the characters, descriptions, pick a style, generate the images, generate the videos, generate
243. 46:37the dialogue, generate the edits, all that sort of stuff. So, it's it's a full film making studio. Um, because it's a
244. 46:45full film making studio, it is decidedly more complicated than just going and making an 8-second clip. Um,
245. 46:53and if you don't keep up with this stuff, um, it's a mess. But this project, I think, is good through the
246. 47:00end of July. And the first prize is five grand. Second prize is 3500. Third prize is 2500. Here's the thing, I promise you, I guarantee you,
247. 47:14Hollywood people are paying attention to these contests. So if you're one of August 4th is the deadline. So, if you're wanting to make
248. 47:24some noise and shift your value, it's probably worth your time to start paying attention to stuff like this. If if you like, you know, video
249. 47:38storytelling, when our when ideas are generated instantly, what still belongs to you? Today's tools can automate a lot. But
250. 47:47meaning, intention, and taste can't be automated. Correct? That's what your creative edge is. It's what it takes to
251. 47:56it's what shapes a story, sets a tone, gives a work its voice. This campaign is is a call to stay present, stay sharp,
252. 48:05and explore how AI can extend your creativity without replacing it. Um, this is essentially what I was talking
253. 48:14about when I wrote the LinkedIn article um that I got flamed out on on LinkedIn from the AI haters. They said, "How dare
254. 48:24you suggest how dare you suggest that you could possibly be creative if you're using AI tools? You are but a
255. 48:33petty thief, you [ __ ] heathen. I just don't agree. Sorry. Sorry. Um, sorry I don't fit your
256. 48:49narrative. [Music] The shortest AI film competition. Create short form film using LTX Studio. There's no set theme, just a challenge.
257. 49:01Bring your creative edge to an increasingly AI shaped world. Cool. All right. Rules theme anything goes. Tell your story.
258. 49:11Bring your edge. LTX studio films must be 100% generated in LTX studio. External postp production editing. Oh, wait. External post-prouction
259. 49:24post production editing is allowed. Okay. So, you generate it in LTX Studio and then if you want to do fancy edits
260. 49:33and [ __ ] like that, you can do it in post-production. Fine. length no longer than 60 seconds. Teammates up to three
261. 49:40teammates per one film. So, here's what day is today? Today's Tuesday. Here's a good weekend project.
262. 49:48Team up with another irregular. Team up with another irregular. Why don't we do teams of two? So, someone grab Joy Perie.
263. 50:00Someone grab Gareth. Right. team up with another al although they could be divas and just want to do it on
264. 50:08their own, right? You never know. You never know. Team up with someone. Um you would be wise to team up with
265. 50:17Cindy [ __ ] I don't know if Cindy Coon's here tonight. Use the tools. Yep. Um and let's get some let's get some AI
266. 50:28salon and AI learning lab representation in this contest. Let's go win some [ __ ] I mean, hell, we we had what what was
267. 50:34it? Gareth and Vicki won f what? Tied for first in the storytelling thing from Open AI, the the kids book thing.
268. 50:44All right, timeline. Uh July 14th, submissions open. July 21st, there's an LTX webinar. August 4th, submissions
269. 50:53close. All right, maybe we will do this. Garrett, or what's your name? Brandon. Tik Tok pin. So, I just did the last two
270. 51:01days work and now have to do it all over again. Oh, yeah. Because if you if you did that trailer outside of LTX Studio, you would
271. 51:13have to start over. Yes. Let's make it Vicki. I'm a caregiver to my mom and she's heading to the hospital as soon as
272. 51:22I end my shift at work. Oh, I'm so sorry about that. I hope she's okay. I hope she's well. heels. Look, everyone's like, "Joy pretty.
273. 51:33Let's do it." Everyone's hitting on Joy. Joyy's like, "Hey, I got life to live here. You all just go make your own [ __ ] movie."
274. 51:45Prizes. First prize, five grand flight and accommodations to the Forward Festival Berlin. Very nice. One-year
275. 51:52subscription to LCTX Studios Pro plan. screening of your film at the fastforward thing. 3500 second place honorable mention
276. 52:0350,000 computing seconds for LTX Studio for tickets to the Berlin thing. Nice. All right, that first prize is pretty slick. You
277. 52:16get to fly to Berlin and be like a AI big shot and probably have protesters throw gum at you. You're taking our jobs.
278. 52:29I shouldn't be so cavalier about that because it is going to take a lot of jobs. But there's two ways you respond to change.
279. 52:39You can you can deal with it or you can ignore it. And I for one am a fan of dealing with it. Read what you get for registering. Claim

286. 53:53a barista. I don't like it. I don't like it. Fantastic. Yeah. Mhm. I don't have my LTX studio. Where's my LTX studio? LTX
287. 54:09here. You've registered. Oh, it got de deprioritized. We just repprioritized it. Okay. Shortest AI film competition.
288. 54:20There's our 50% off code. Claim now. Claim. Oh, I'm not sharing anymore, am I? No, because I'm a loser.
289. 54:33I'm a loser, baby. Why don't you sue me? Yeah. All right. Redeem your code. We're redeeming it now. I hope you didn't copy
290. 54:45my code and redeem it before I had a chance. Um, I'm an existing customer. Am I not? I thought I was. Plan selection. [Music]
291. 55:02Active zero. Oh, that's rough. [Laughter] Oh, see you know see you just do see
292. 55:17what I'm talking about. You see do you see h is it possible that you are registered under another email address? >> No no
293. 55:30I'm just a loser baby. Why don't you kill me? Yeah. >> Well, you've got till August 4th to raise the funds.
294. 55:40>> Yeah, maybe I'll maybe I'll do it. All right. So, I'm registered. We'll we'll get back to this. Okay. So, anyway, um
295. 55:46the way you do this, you go home and then you do generate a storyboard. Generate storyboard. So, you can say
296. 55:52here, um okay, what's what's the motto for 2025 here at the AI learning lab? Anybody? Anybody? Don't use your brain. Right. 20 Oh, did
297. 56:06I say 2023? 2025. What's the motto for 2025? Don't use your brain. So, they're asking us to come up with a an idea for a
298. 56:19script. So, let's see. Let's go to chat. JPA. Hey, Kyle. Ready to dive in? I sure. I'm going to go to GPT4.5.
299. 56:32Why? I don't know. Because it's supposed to be good at creative concepting. Question. I haven't gotten midjourney
300. 56:38yet because it seems you don't own your own work. Uh that's not necessarily the case. Like don't own it in what way? Like you
301. 56:52can't use it. Anything you generate you can use. If you want to copyright it, what the copyright office has said, they
302. 57:01they they changed their rules on this. So for the first two years of generative AI like starting in 2022
303. 57:10the copyright office said if it's AI generated you can't copyright it. About six eight months ago they changed that.
304. 57:18What they said is just because you're using AI as a tool does not automatically invalidate you from having something be copyrightable.
305. 57:31What's the what's the burden of of of copyrightability that you can demonstrate human contribution what I what I'm calling
306. 57:40chain of craft. So if you can say, "Hey, I went into midjourney and I went to chat GPT and I wrote these prompts and I
307. 57:48took some images that I took photographs of and I had Chat GPT describe them and then I took those things and I and I
308. 57:56created these prompts and I went into MidJourney and I created 8,000 images and out of those 8,000 images I took 200
309. 58:03and I turned them into this series of images and out of those I took 50 and I animated them and I edited those
310. 58:09together and I put them into final Final Cut Pro and I went over to Sora and I made this music and I put all that. If
311. 58:15you can demonstrate a chain of craft for the output, they're absolutely copyrightable. Now, I personally
312. 58:28think that we're entering a world where copywriting stuff is is is going to be increasingly impossible to monitor and police. Everything's
313. 58:39going to be instantly copyable. The minute someone does something interesting, everyone's going to copy
314. 58:44the style. Everyone's going to copy the story. So, you could chase those people down, but it is my strong strong opinion that you should not
315. 58:57not play with midjourney just because you don't think you can own it. You can absolutely own it. You can absolutely
316. 59:03use it. I know that. And that's cool. Thank you. Just making sure. I'll try this weekend. You absolutely need to
317. 59:09play with midjourney. If you if if you are interested in imagery in any way and you have not played with midjourney,
318. 59:18it is it is simply on a different level. Now, has it likely been trained on lots and lots of copywritten stuff? Yes. Is
319. 59:27it copying and pasting from that work? No, it is not. Now, if you use MidJourney to to directly copy someone's
320. 59:36work and kind of represent it as your own, you can still be busted for copyright infringement if you're basically, you know, um copying
321. 59:45something that they have. But if you do something in the style of Andy Warhol or or of Keith Herring, Keith Herring's
322. 59:52estate is is famous for suing people for, you know, creating stuff that's too like that, too like his work. But you
323. 59:59can be inspired by someone's work. So you can absolutely do that. Ooh, auto auto copyright workflow. Yeah, you
324. 1:00:07there's a when I when I did that post about chain of craft, um, one of the shitty comments I got was there's
325. 1:00:14nothing special about your idea. It's a it's been around for years. And in fact, we created a whole company
326. 1:00:21around it. And I think their their company is called Chain of Creation or something like or or their their phrase
327. 1:00:27is called Chain of Creation, but they created a whole platform to be able to track all that stuff. Anyway, okay. So,
328. 1:00:34we were over in LTX Studio. Um, and it said, "Give me a concept." So, I'm going to say, um, let's see. You are a bizarre
329. 1:00:48filmmaker. inspired by uh what's his name? Tim Burton. Tim Burton. Um
330. 1:01:04uh Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino. I am entering a 602
331. 1:01:20film contest and the winner wins an Academy Award
332. 1:01:36because Hollywood loves AI. I want you to come up with 20
333. 1:01:53film concepts that also include a visual look and feel
334. 1:02:08that brings that concept to life. No boring locations, no boring characters,
335. 1:02:27no boring stories. Okay, so now what I just wrote, you you could argue, well, you could have just written something in the LTX
336. 1:02:39prompt hole and got something out of it. I could have, but now I'm going to get 20 20 ideas. I don't know. Sunno gave me a really
337. 1:02:48wellrecoognized classical piece last week as the melody. Well, just like if if you end up with something that is
338. 1:02:55recognizably something that exists, then just don't use it. You got two typos. Typos don't matter. One of the one of
339. 1:03:03the important things, the the new important rules is that these large language models, they eat typos for
340. 1:03:10lunch. They understand what the hell you're talking about. You really don't have to worry about it. Okay. 20 delightfully bizarre 60-second
341. 1:03:16masterpieces. Tea time at the guillotine. Oh, I like that. A dystopian queen hosts a g gentiel tea party. Each
342. 1:03:23sip determining who gets beheaded next. Candy colored roco sets, pastel wigs, porcelain cups juxtaposed with a blood
343. 1:03:33stained guillotine under a pink sky. That's [ __ ] good. That's [ __ ] good. They are trained on all sorts of types and stuff.
344. 1:03:48My daughter did one on Roblox and I'm teaching her notes, keys, etc. Oh, that's so cool.
345. 1:04:02Oh, not to mention David Lynch. Yeah. Well, I missed him, but that's okay. Typewriters revenge. An abandoned
346. 1:04:10typewriter hunts down the novelist who abandoned it. Vintage noir aesthetic. That's kind of cool. Marzipan massacre.
347. 1:04:18A baker's sugary confection comes to life. Waging a buddy buddy re Good lord, what is with my tongue? Taxiderermy Tango. The lonely
348. 1:04:30taxiderermist animates his creations, initiating a macumber danceoff for his love interest, which by the way, any of
349. 1:04:38these ideas so far are probably going to be interesting and unique compared to what most people will do. What most people
350. 1:04:47will do is they'll use their gray matter to just put in something dumb like like I want a story about a a boy walking
351. 1:04:57down a path with a dog, right? And then they're going to get a boring boy walking down a path story. We got something here. We got something
352. 1:05:07different. If I was actually trying and spent like an hour on this instead of five minutes, we'd end up with something
353. 1:05:15really unique and interesting and something that speaks to me. Right? That's the thing about these tools is these tools will give you
354. 1:05:25they'll reflect back anything you put in them. But if what you put in them is something that resonates with you, then
355. 1:05:33your ideas get amplified. All right, let's do it tomorrow then. Time check. It's 10 PM. All right, let's get out of
356. 1:05:40here. Okay, mustache duel. Let me I want to take the first one here. Let me just show you what what uh tea time at the guillotine.
357. 1:05:50So, I'm going to copy this. We're going to go to LTX Studio. Well, are we? I don't know where my tab is. Shut up. Um, Chain of Craft.
358. 1:06:07[Music] Okay, here we are. Bang. Paste. Okay. Tea time with the guillotine.
359. 1:06:22Do you like 4.5 the best? No, I don't. 4.5 is a really weird model. 4.5 is not connected to image generation. It's not
360. 1:06:34connected to web search. They launched it and then buried it. What I think 4.5 is is a coordination model that is going to
361. 1:06:48be used in GPT5. It's it's got sometimes it's really good, sometimes it's bad. Apparently, it's quite good at
362. 1:06:56ideiation. So, that thing I just did was an ideation session. So, I thought it did really good. Um, but that's what it is. Okay. So,
363. 1:07:06develop concept with AI. Stick to the script. No, we'll just develop concept with AI. All right. Um, optional settings. We don't need any of
364. 1:07:15that. We're just going to go next. And then you'll see what LTX Studio does here. It's pretty slick. [Music]
365. 1:07:28In a lavish palace adorned with pastel colors and Rookco designs, Queen Varity hosts an extravagant tea party. The
366. 1:07:36atmosphere is deceptively charming, filled with laughter and delicate porcelain cups. Yet a sinister undertone
367. 1:07:44looms. Each guest, a noble from her kingdom, is oblivious to the true purpose of the gathering as they sip
368. 1:07:51their tea. A mysterious concoction brewed by the queen herself. They unwitt unwittingly seal their fate. Each cup
369. 1:08:00holds a different poison that dictates who will be sent to the guillotine next. Beautiful. Love it. Love it. Fantastic. Yeah.
370. 1:08:13Yeah. Yep. All right. Fant alternative story lines. A dystopian queen's tea part party decides a whimsical tea party. A queen
371. 1:08:22decides against fates. That's fine. Okay. Next. Now it's going to give me settings and cast podcast tomorrow. Yeah. Tomorrow uh
372. 1:08:32the AI uh readiness project is featuring one Vicky Baptiste talking about the AI readiness learning program that we put
373. 1:08:42together with her and Ann Murphy. So, that is going to be tomorrow at 400 PM Mountain time. There's Queen Varity.
374. 1:08:50This has got a very Wes Anderson feel to it. There's Aara Lady. Let's edit this. Um, appearance. Um, let's see.
375. 1:09:08This description should be more um high
376. 1:09:23uh royalty. [Music]
377. 1:09:50Does he always sing like this? This is so annoying. I can hardly listen to anything. [Music]
378. 1:10:06A dystopian queen. Cinematic, vintage, lowkey, indie, pop, grunge, dreamy,
379. 1:10:212D novel, boost, scribble. That's better for her, right? colored anime film noir scribble let's go with boost
380. 1:10:36let's go with boost shall we gorgeous gorgeous ladies
381. 1:10:52lady [Music] I just did another standup bit about the guillotine. All right, let's get out of here. So
382. 1:11:05anyway, so what LTX Studio does, you'll see here in a second. It creates the characters, the look and feel. Here's
