Transcript

1. 0:00to fall in love.
2. 0:47Standing between you and a hard place is the Standing too near you in a fire. Makes it clear.
3. 1:07You're trouble to me. Rich rubble. Can't you see? Leaning in close.
4. 1:23Smell of your perfume scares me most. You You singing champ? This is it. Leaning away feels stronger every day.
5. 1:40Your trouble to me. Real trouble. Okay, if you'll see
6. 2:24Every time I see you now, get that look in mine. Every time I see your mouth, I hear that smile.
7. 2:39The early misty morning that I heard the engine turning in the old for outside.
8. 2:53You were leaving me again today. You were convinced me again today. You're leaving this hotel looking for
9. 3:09someone else's golden ring. Should I say so long, Suzan?
10. 3:23Hush now. Don't you cry. Um, what's happening good people? What is going down? What is What is my hair?
11. 3:38My hair. My hair. What is happening with my hair? It's got I got some new product and it's uh Well, it's tall.
12. 3:52Hey, Steo. What's happening? What's shaking with you good people? What's What's going on with the good people here on the AI learning lab?
13. 4:03Are you all? It's good. Oh, good. Here's good. All right. Fine. I'll take it.
14. 4:31D.
15. 6:09Wait, why is Joy Party freaking out? Why is Joy Party freaking out? Oh, carnival songs rule. You heard my little carnival song.
16. 6:32Oh man, what's happening with Joy Party? Okay. A famous movie person, Oscar nominee reached out. Verified it's
17. 6:40really him. No idea why, but meeting scheduled. Okay. Joy Party. Attention. Joy Pertie. Is Joy Pertie in
18. 6:49the house? Joy. Joy Party. He's reaching out because you're talented. Hate to break it to you, but that imposttor syndrome's got to go. All
19. 7:00right. Fantastic. BACK TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING. WELL, that's [ __ ] far out.
20. 7:15For those of you here who might be new, pay attention to what's happening. Look around you. If you were there at
21. 7:27the salon tonight and you heard Kelly Bes talk about the fact that some major Hollywood screenwriter is reaching out
22. 7:34to her wanting to work with her. She's going to can as a special member of the jury. A jury that's all pasty white men.
23. 7:50Joy Perie is getting reached out to by an Academy Award nominee. Why? because she's talented and she's putting her work out there.
24. 8:00And you're like, "Well, yeah, but Joyy's got like 30 years of film editing experience." Oh, does she? Or is she a sleep analyst
25. 8:11that got a little inspired later in life? Oh my god. Yeah. Let us know how it goes. That's so cool, man.
26. 8:36How did they reach out to you?
27. 8:50I would say that there's a couple of things to pay attention to here with with what's happening with Joy, what's happening with Kelly.
28. 9:00I think that Kelly talked about this a bit tonight and and you did a bit as well, Joy, but I but it's not that they're both doing video.
29. 9:11It's not that What Kelly talked about tonight is that she actually doesn't have a lot of interest in doing work that doesn't interest her,
30. 9:25right? She doesn't want to work for brands. She doesn't want to do shitty schllocky buy more Doritos videos.
31. 9:35She wants to do like real work. One of the things that Joy, one of the inspiring things about Joyy's story, my favorite part about your
32. 9:44story, Joy, is when I asked you when you did a video for the AI salon and I watched it and I'm like, this is
33. 9:51better than it. She's not a beginner because it's got it's got better edits and writing and comedy and just sophisticated [ __ ] in it. way
34. 10:03clever ways that she covered up the jank of the technology of the time. And I said, "Oh, you've been a filmmaker
35. 10:11by training, right?" She was like, "No, I'm a sleep analyst." I [ __ ] love that. And I said, "Well, how did you like how how did you do
36. 10:23this? If you're just learning this [ __ ] you shouldn't be this good." And her answer was the best answer. All
37. 10:31my life, I've had stories I've wanted to tell, and I never had a way to do it. Both of these women are getting really
38. 10:41interesting work and offers because the work that they're doing in AI is deeply connected to who they are
39. 10:51and what they're passionate about. Joy, that's why Joy Perie, you're so funny. It's helping with my anxiety.
40. 11:07Oh my god, that's awesome. There there I can't state this enough. Our job in the future is not going to be
41. 11:22learn how to use this piece of software. Our job in the future is not learn how to do accounting. Our job in the future
42. 11:29is not learn how to do this tactical execution thing. Our job in the future is to be able to understand who we are, what we want,
43. 11:47who we care about, how we want to impact them. And then just go do that heart. And this is not that's follow your
44. 12:02passion [ __ ] right? You know, all the self-help gur gurus do. Just follow your passion. It'll come. It may, but you could also go broke.
45. 12:21This is about deep down inside every one of us. There's the answer to that question. What do you want more of in your life?
46. 12:30I want more money. No, you don't. I want a car. Okay. Well, what's that car going to get you? I want girls. Okay. You want to get
47. 12:41laid? All right. I want to be loved. Oh, okay. There it is. We all We all know We all know somewhere deep down there is that thing. What if
48. 12:57the future that we're stepping into, the science fiction movie that we all now live in?
49. 13:16What if our job in that future was just to understand what it is that we want and be clear enough about it that we're
50. 13:24motivated to make it happen and that the AI is just going to help us do it. The AI is just there as an enabler
51. 13:32and it's up to us. Do you want to do something shitty? Do you want to bully more people per hour than any other bully in history?
52. 13:42You can do that. You want to tell cool stories. What do you want to do?
53. 13:57Also important to have a support system community like yourselves in a salelon. I would feel so alone and isolated without.
54. 14:13You know what's going to be you know what Joy I mean well first of all you know what what what is a possibility
55. 14:22here is that someone from Hollywood is reaching out to you. It's possible they saw you on Festivus or they saw a a
56. 14:32video of you talking about well I made this video and when I upscaled it kind of [ __ ] up their hands. So, I spent five months
57. 14:41rotoscoping in fingers and hands so that my video looks good. Like, you've got you've got a a drive to do quality work, Joy. That is
58. 14:58It's not common. It's not common. It's not common for someone to to start working on a film. This this is the story of the AI salon
59. 15:10film. And sorry if I'm picking on you. I hope I don't make you feel uncomfortable. I'm really proud of you.
60. 15:16She starts working on a film using shitty AI tools that are crappy. And then she realizes um I don't really
61. 15:24know much about editing. So she spent like whatever two or three months working on the first two and a half
62. 15:31minutes of this film. and she was like, "Uh, you know, if I'm going to be a filmmaker, I might want to learn about
63. 15:36editing or something." She went out and she got Da Vinci Resolve. And then she spent like the next six months making other films
64. 15:46so she could learn Da Vinci Resolve so she could then come back to the salon film she was working on and
65. 15:54finish it. She finished it in like a week and a half or two weeks because she know used the tools down. The tools got better.
66. 16:02That's not common. So I think what that what that person is going to find out when they work with you is that they made the right call by
67. 16:13reaching out and as and as listen as as scary as it is and as as like yeah that voice in your head like I don't
68. 16:24know if I'm going to be good enough. That's all of us. We all have that. I Every time someone reaches out to me
69. 16:34and says, "You want to do a job?" Every [ __ ] time. And then I do it and I'm like, "That was fine. You'll be the same." It's really
70. 16:43cool. Really cool. It took me years to push myself to 24
71. 16:58chapters before AI. Yep. All my life I've had stories to tell, but writing them writing was so timeconuming. Yep.
72. 17:21Anyway, Joy, that is very exciting. And listen, it's like here here's the thing to know about Hollywood and Hollywood
73. 17:27people and and creative projects. It's it they're a mess. Every everyone's all over the place. So, it's as likely it
74. 17:36turns into just being a [ __ ] show or a nothing or it could turn into something really big and exciting. I mean, that's
75. 17:42you just keep keep rolling the dice, man. Someone reaches out and said, "I won an Oscar and I want to talk to you." Go [ __ ] talk to them.
76. 17:57You never know. You never know. So, tonight at the AI salon, if you weren't there, we had speakers from AI Festivus.
77. 18:11We invited a bunch to show up and then a bunch more showed up because it's a cool community. Um, and we just had people
78. 18:17come up come up on stage and just talk about what they talked about and what were their big insights from festivists
79. 18:23and what are their hopes and dreams for the future. And it's like it's like it's just a cool community of of people like, "Yeah, I
80. 18:34think I'm getting my head around this thing. I'm gonna I think I'm going to go just [ __ ] I'm GOING TO GO
81. 18:42AND THEN WE HAVE NEW PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY. THEY'RE LIKE, "Holy [ __ ] you can just do this." Oh, thank you so much, whoever did that.
82. 18:51Digital gods. Lord, digital gods coming in hot with the Tik Tok gifts. Thank you. Um, it's just a it's a cool mix. You know what's fun is
83. 19:03is being in a community where someone who comes in who knows nothing is celebrated as much and and and particularly
84. 19:14people who know nothing in our community come in and they're like uh hey how's it going? Yeah. Uh I know nothing.
85. 19:24So the courage it takes for someone to just do that gets celebrated and then you know someone you know someone
86. 19:32reaches out to someone to do some really cool work and people like [ __ ] yeah. There's something about this community
87. 19:38that's just it's just awesome. It's just celebratory. Everyone wants everyone to win, you know? I like I'm I I'm I'm like right in the
88. 19:53middle of sort of personal transformation and then I'm right in the middle of this transformation where David Shapiro did a po a post today
89. 20:03where he's like shit's getting real, right? Shit's getting real. I don't know if you saw what Nvidia put out today,
90. 20:10but they've got some new six chip set on a board that does inference 10 times 10 times faster for four or five three
91. 20:22times cheaper, 10 times, I don't know. Shit's going to get real in 2026. It's going to get real. And none of us know what's going on.
92. 20:34None of us know how to generate money. None of us know how to generate demand. But the people in this community are like,
93. 20:49you know what I need to do? I just need to keep working. Liz Miller Gersfeld today, she's like, I'm trying to articulate what I do to
94. 20:58people and I literally can't form the words, right? She literally can't figure out what to say to people who don't understand AI
95. 21:09what she does. But at some point she'll be able to and that'll be fine. But she said in the meantime I'm going
96. 21:20to do good work. I'm going to do work that I'm excited about. I'm going to I'm going to come up with ideas and then I'm
97. 21:25going to do work that lives up to those ideas and that's going to be my job. I think that's I think that's our
98. 21:32[ __ ] job. I think that is our [ __ ] job. I'm laughing here because I was like, uh, I have no clue. Tell me.
99. 21:41>> Yeah. I mean, listen, Sonia, it it it is it is a powerful place to be to just say, you know, I'm here and I'm just getting started.
100. 21:54And I and I liked what you said today that that you're like listen, you know, you guys that have been doing this for a
101. 21:59while, you're you're in a different place. I'm here just like everything's open field to me right now. That's
102. 22:05that's beautiful. It's a good reminder to me to like, you know, [ __ ] remind yourself of the wonder of these tools
103. 22:11right now. New Tik Tok pin. Am I the only one that's excited for the new Lego release? If you didn't see Lego at CES,
104. 22:19it looks like it looks like the breakaway hit of CES so far is LEGO created a 2x4 brick that's got a um
105. 22:30voice generator and a computer in it and sensors and then there's special pieces like there's special mini figs that when
106. 22:37you put near it, it's it's aware of the things you put around it and it's aware of other smart bricks that are near it.
107. 22:44So it understands 3D space. So So Legos Legos now have AI in them. It's so cool. Here, let's go. Let's go
108. 22:58look at We'll go find a I'm sure there's a video on it. Let's go. Let's Hey. Hey, Bob. Let's go to the videape. Um, Lego brick
109. 23:13or Brock. Lego Brock. Yes. >> Uh, it would really help if if we shared your screen. >> Yeah, I know. I was just getting my thing up.
110. 23:26I was just getting my little thinger up. He put his thinger right there on the screen. Is this it? Smart Bricks at CES.
111. 23:36What if you could bring your imagination to life for real? Play with your creations and let them play back with
112. 23:42you. Well, that's exactly what we've built. Wait, really? Introducing the LEGO Smart Play System. Oh, boy. A new
113. 23:51platform made of endlessly interactive smart bricks. Smart tags. Seriously? And no way. Smart mini figures. Hold on. So,
114. 24:01you can interact with the little guys now. All connected to bring play to life like never before. Whoa, was that a burp? These things can
115. 24:10burp. >> And react to how you move with dynamic sound and lights. Holy snitle, there's lights. One brick to turn your Lego
116. 24:19builds into an opportunity to create, explore, and unlock your imagination. >> Ducks, this is going to be huge. Huge.
117. 24:31Come play in the next dimension with the Lego Smart Play system. >> Okay. Vicky the Crusher of Dreams said
118. 24:38that this isn't AI. All right, fine. But it does have it does have voice synthesis technology in the little
119. 24:44thing. Not an AI. Your bingo card is safe. That's funny. All right, let's go look at another video. Let's see.
120. 24:59That's just a picture. Oh, these are just pictures. Let's see. >> And here, maybe we'll add a pilot. And here, maybe we'll add a pilot.
121. 25:15>> He sounds like he's having fun. Let's see what happens. >> I don't think he enjoys that. >> But it's not just vehicles. We do tons
122. 25:27of other types of models and I'm sure kids will want to as well. I'm sure you all know the uh the Lego duck. Let's see
123. 25:32what happens when I put exactly the same brick into the Lego duck. >> Wow. Bit of splashing around. And after a
124. 25:47long day splashing, maybe he needs a little sleep. I actually don't know whether Lego ducks enjoy flying. Should we see if we can find out?
125. 26:03>> I think we'll move quickly on past that one. So, you can And here maybe we'll add a pilot. >> I don't I don't know how it knew the
126. 26:11duck was a duck. minifigure. And you'll see from the sound and the color when it detects it.
127. 26:25But it's not just looking for the minifigure. It knows who that minifigure is. And actually, it knows where that
128. 26:30minifigure is. So, as I move the minifigure around, you'll see different lights and colors depending on where the
129. 26:35minifigure is compared to the brick. >> Digital gods. What happens when I step in one with bare feet? It cusses for you.
130. 26:47>> What does this allow us to do? Well, you saw it's actually a very simple system, a very simple addition, a platform that
131. 26:54they're adding into the Lego system at play. It's the brick, it's the tags, and it's the interactive mini figs. But all
132. 27:01together, what that unlocks is an opportunity for interactivity, new dimensions of responsiveness, opportunity for more social play, and
133. 27:12for more storytelling. >> What happens when they come to life? >> Oh, I get it. So, so the smart tags, I
134. 27:19bet the smart tags are programmable. So, you take a smart tag, you hook that to your computer, you say, "I'm going to
135. 27:25put the smart tag on a duck." And so, when you stick the brick on a smart tag on the duck, it knows it's a duck. I get it
136. 27:34cuz it walk like a duck. Duck can talk like a duck. That That was That's close to the answer, Silver Fox. But the answer is smart tags.
137. 27:43So, you hear the uh the door unlock. >> Lego Smart Play brings a whole new dimension to physical play. Lego bricks
138. 27:49that play back is designed to inspire kids imagination and get them playing creatively time and time again. We've
139. 27:57put cutting edge technology, some of it never seen before, into Lego Smart Play to create a platform for physical
140. 28:04interactive play, allowing any Lego set to come alive in kids hands. Films give fans characters and stories to capture
141. 28:11their imaginations, but toys uh gave them the opportunity to take these stories home and continue them.
142. 28:22>> Well, I'm assuming that these things are like infinitely hackable. So, you could hook those to an Arduino,
143. 28:33vibe code yourself up some sort of Lego action. And actually, you know what you could do, Vicki? You could, even though they're not AI,
144. 28:42you could do something where like when the when the truck crosses the bridge, right? That that it fires off some some RFID
145. 28:52something near your Arduino and then that fires off a an AI call. You could we're gonna There's going to be an AI
146. 29:00hack for this before CES is over. All right. I'm learning more and more about toys when it comes to to deep think AI.
147. 29:10I can program my own NFC tags. Yeah. You know what I've seen which is really
148. 29:24cool and I know I should be working on my daily practice but I'm avoiding it. So just get off my case.
149. 29:33I need to take some time for me. This is some me time. Okay. Okay.
150. 29:51What did I want to brag about? Oh, notion. I did. Oh, I I did work on my my notion today. I actually expanded
151. 30:03it. I'll I'll tell you about that in a sec. Um, irregulars when you have a chance, Kyle. Oh boy. Here we go.
152. 30:15Oh, what have you done? What have you done, Corey Sandler? So proud of Joy Perie. Look at this. Oh, this is awesome. Here comes Hollywood.
153. 30:34That's awesome. That's very good. This is a cool community. This is a downright cool community, if you know what I'm saying.
154. 30:54Bring them up here. Boom. Uh oh, camera's off. Zoom crashed again.
155. 31:11Hey you kids. It It is If you all don't know, it is Wait, I'm gonna make you bigger. Wait, did I do that right? No. Uh >> oh.
156. 31:24>> Look. See? Look at that. Hello, you two. >> Hello. What's shaking? >> I'm Kyle. I'm so nervous. I've never
157. 31:32been live on the internets before. >> On the internet. I It's okay, Donnie. I do it every night. No one No one's watching.
158. 31:40>> We No one's here. No one's watching. They actually They love you. Here's the thing. This This is the most generous
159. 31:49crowd. They They love you. And by the way, they love you because of Festivist. We had a blast tonight. Um, by the way,
160. 31:55I know you guys couldn't be there. >> Go ahead. Um, but we had, I don't know, 15 different speakers. Producer Brandon
161. 32:01said, um, producing producing tonight was more stressful than 24 hours of Festivus because he didn't talk to him
162. 32:09backstage. He didn't know who was coming up next. He didn't know who was ready. >> But, um, but it was so good. It was just
163. 32:17it was just lots of love and lots of people talking about, you know, what they talked about, what their insights
164. 32:23from festivists were, what they're thinking about for 2026. And it was just it was very very nice. It was a really
165. 32:29nice way to end it. So, um, so you got some love, but I'm glad you're here. How you two doing tonight?
166. 32:35>> We're living the dream, Kyle. You know, it's uh very it's very quiet here, which is a nice change for our dog.
167. 32:43>> Oh, because all the kids are gone. >> Kids are gone at the moment. We just got dogs. We've got dogs here, you know. you
168. 32:49know, um I don't know about champion, but our dogs, they like a lot more attention than they get when when we're in like AI festivist mode.
169. 32:59>> That's true. So, we're still >> Well, Brandon's dog every night when So, when the show ends, Brandon and I start
170. 33:09talking and Brandon's dog knows that when Kyle and Brandon start talking, it's time for cheese. So, he goes nuts. That was awesome.
171. 33:22>> Oh my god. Oh no. It was It was so good. It was It was really nice tonight. It was just good to see everyone again.
172. 33:30>> So, did people did people have a good time sharing their sharing their stuff at Festivus? >> Yeah. And it was it was really cool
173. 33:37stuff. It was like like Kim Offford just talked about how watching like for especially for the speakers that
174. 33:48spoke last year or that were there last year to hear what they'd accomplished in a year. Like one of the things Kim
175. 33:54Offford said is like we're all just like trying to keep up with this AI stuff and we kind of forget like what we actually
176. 34:02have created and what we've actually accomplished. And she was just like she was blown away by how much people have
177. 34:09done in a year. And she's like, you know, I can't imagine what's going to happen next year. >> Yeah. >> And Sun Sundee spoke and was just
178. 34:16talking about like her journey, which was really cool. >> Um Cindy [ __ ] talked um Kelly Bes talked
179. 34:24and she got up on stage and she was like I forget what I talked about at Festivus, but anyway, which was great.
180. 34:33>> It was just really nice. It was It was really good. It was a love fest, >> man. Oh, man. I wish I could put a
181. 34:38little message in a bottle to know from from today till, you know, this day in 2027. >> Yeah. Well, that I mean, there was a lot
182. 34:47of talk people are really excited about next year. >> Yeah. And I don't know there there's there's uh there was something an about um
183. 35:04there's just something about it was there's something about being in these communities really allows people to have
184. 35:11the space to sort of figure this stuff out and like people are kind of leveling themselves up and figuring themselves out professionally.
185. 35:19>> Yeah. and they have the space to do it. And so >> we talked about that tonight. I talked about the space you create and like I
186. 35:29I'll I'll send you the video, but like one of the things I said I'll just say it to you now because you're here is um
187. 35:37like I've been in tech most of my life, right? And the last three years is the first time that I am regularly in
188. 35:46meetings with more women than men. and like your commitment to making sure that voices are included like it's created a space
189. 35:55>> that that allows people to just come and be and be self-expressed and like you know there there's a nice balance of men
190. 36:02and women and it's just >> I've never experienced that in my life and it's just been there consistently
191. 36:08and it's just your commitment to that is a huge piece of it I think. >> That's pretty awesome. Yeah. Good. Good. Yeah. Yeah. More of that.
192. 36:20>> I know, right? >> And the salon. And the salon very I know I don't spend as much time in the salon as I should, but very clearly also an
193. 36:28extremely safe community for people to express and to ask questions and to, you know, ask for help. Um, yeah,
194. 36:36>> definitely definitely part of what's going on there as well. So, I mean that that's been made clear. So, that's
195. 36:42really cool, too. Yeah, we were we were talking about that before you guys got here that there's a there's a cool thing
196. 36:48in the in in this community where if Oh, because Oh, you didn't hear this. Before you guys got here, Joy Perie said some
197. 36:56um Tony or Oscar nominated filmmaker reached out to her and she confirmed that it's real. She doesn't know what
198. 37:02it's about yet, but like like stuff's going to happen. But then but then, you know, there's also people that are like,
199. 37:07"Hey, I'm just learning AI." And I and I feel like this community celebrates both of those people equally, right? That
200. 37:14someone just getting started is like, "Hey, welcome in." Or, you know, an Oscar award-winning filmmaker just
201. 37:20reached out to me. Hey, awesome. Like it's just everyone wants everyone to win, you know? >> Right. Yeah. Like like good news, bad
202. 37:26news. Good news, bad news is that we're hard to impress. >> Yeah. >> We're also very easy to impress.
203. 37:36Well, I think I think what it is is it's like it's like the people who show up and work hard and and and just put the
204. 37:44time in. It's like when they get rewarded, it's like [ __ ] yes. And then for someone who's who's new to have the
205. 37:52guts to not only show up to a community, but not just lurk in the background, show up in a community and say, "I'm
206. 37:59here. I'm new. Where do I go? What do I do?" >> Like that has a similar level of guts required, right? Totally. Totally. Um,
207. 38:08we have an uh we have somebody who's new to both of our communities and I'm not going to drop drop the name just in
208. 38:14case, but um what they shared to me was um so they just started to get to know the AI salon a couple weeks ago from the learning lab
209. 38:27>> and then um went to Festivis and you know got to know us a little little bit better and was um beefing with someone on TikTok
210. 38:41about AI based on their learnings from AI festivist. >> Oh, that's awesome. That's awesome. >> I was like, "Yeah, that's awesome." Like,
211. 38:54>> just I mean, that's the progression we would love to see. It's definitely like an accelerated version of it, but so so good.
212. 39:00>> It's so good. It's so good. The other thing we did, we we did did tell people about the uh the the replay the deluxe >> replay
213. 39:10>> deluxe. Don't forget that part. >> And I I can I can no longer talk about the deluxe replay bundle without adding
214. 39:17that I think it is dramatically underpriced. And I've told you this, Aaron. You know this. Um 27 bucks. If you want if you
215. 39:26missed Festivus and you want to see these remarkable speakers and what it was and be inspired um for 27 bucks, you
216. 39:34get all the replays, you get transcripts, you get Jelly Pod podcast, you get things from Notebook LM. There's
217. 39:39all sorts of stuff in there. It's amazing. And you guys put that together. So, like kudos to you and the team. You
218. 39:45and Kate. We should mention Kate in here. She's been mentioned Kate. >> Mentioned in the comments here a couple
219. 39:50of times. Uh Lord Digital God says Anne's great. Kate's great. And what about Donnie? Lord digital gods. Did you
220. 39:56did you talk about Donnie? He's right here. >> We're gonna have feelings. >> So, um, LDG, first of all, what a
221. 40:05legend. Um I but but everybody else too. The the my favorite thing about the replay the deluxe replay bundle
222. 40:15is that there are like one of my very very fancy AI guru friends said that he would like to experience um 90% of the goodness of AI festivis
223. 40:29in five minutes or less. Mhm. >> I was like, "Okay, can we go with like 80% of it in like 10 minutes?" I mean,
224. 40:38like, can you work with me a little bit? But that's why I created the personal curriculum >> is so you can get like an atomized version
225. 40:50>> pellet. >> A little tiny a little tiny AI festivist pellet. >> That's good. Little >> you specifically for you.
226. 40:58>> Specifically for you. Little nuggets of knowledge. No, >> it takes you to It takes you to the timestamp and tells you what video to go
227. 41:06watch in the replay bundle. >> Oh, that's so cool. That's so cool. >> So, >> it's amazing. Anyway, it's best deal in town.
228. 41:15>> Yeah. I mean, it's made made possible by all of the amazing speakers and including yourselves that participated though.
229. 41:22>> That is so good. >> I mean I mean >> fancy the fact Yeah. Just the fact that you have all of that all of that stuff
230. 41:28right there. It's just bling. >> Pretty amazing. >> Yeah, pretty. >> Yeah. Didn't you you were doing something tonight when when we were
231. 41:35doing salon. You were do doing something and you texted me an exciting thing. Is that something you can share here?
232. 41:41>> Well, I don't think I can share it. I I'm going to share this the story. >> Share the story without the person. Yeah,
233. 41:47>> I'm going to share the story without the person. So, we have a member of our joint community joins an extended
234. 41:52community just who just a pillar. She's a she's a total rock star. somebody that we we know and love and admire and are
235. 42:01so grateful for every day. And she was one of these people who was forced to be like a secret cyborg in her
236. 42:09multinational conglomerate multinational international >> big big >> company where >> they weren't yet fully adopting
237. 42:18generative AI. It wasn't being discussed not in the even like the workg groupoup meetings whatever. So she was like, I
238. 42:25need to obviously see what's going on over here about all this um genai stuff. So she self-taught initially, got into
239. 42:35community, right? Became super user and um what happened next? >> What happened next? >> Oh, what happened next was she enrolled
240. 42:46in the um she leads AI certified AI educator program. >> Oh. Oh, cool. Awesome. got her certification as an as an AI educator and her very
241. 42:58company said multinational conglomerate tapped her on the shoulder and said, "Oh, hey, everybody who works for this
242. 43:07company needs to know how to use co-pilot. Can you create the curriculum?" >> Wow. >> To teach the entire company how to use AI.
243. 43:17>> Yeah. I it just I I think 2026 is is just going to be a year where our members just keep getting tapped on the
244. 43:25shoulder for cool opportunity after cool opportunity. We talk about this all the time when we talk about generous leadership.
245. 43:32>> What generous leadership looks like in the community is you share what you know. You reach out to Vicki and you
246. 43:38say, "I want to do an LOL." Or you you reach out to Ann and say, "I want to come to a social Saturday and just share
247. 43:43what I know." It gives you practice establishing yourself as an expert. It it anchors your learning. But then what
248. 43:50happens is you start sharing like that outside of the community and people in your company find out, oh,
249. 44:00she's actually someone in the company that knows about this and she just got certified. Oh well, she should teach the
250. 44:06entire company. It's just it's amazing. And the other thing it does is it helps all the people within the community. It
251. 44:13will also help the people in your life. Even the ones that are bitching about I mean and you you and I deal with this on
252. 44:20a daily basis. The ones that [ __ ] like and I could we not talk about AI anymore. Listen for dinner. Could we just not with the AI?
253. 44:32Right. Even them. Even them it will help because at some point they're going to get laid off or they're going to realize I got to figure
254. 44:40this stuff out. And who are they going to come to? They're gonna come to you. And then you can be rude and say, "Well,
255. 44:45I I offered that to you six months ago, so now >> before you could get it for free to exactly." Oh, man. Oh, that's
256. 44:54awesome. Oh, that's so cool. That's so cool. >> Yeah. It's so good. It's so good. And and and I think you know one of the
257. 45:00points that was made when we were in this conversation with her about about this new development was just that
258. 45:06>> like this is the kind of story that is the rising tide that lifts all boats. >> Yep. >> Yeah. It is.
259. 45:14>> You can't script it. You know what I mean? And you go, "Oh, all you need like literally we used to talk about this a
260. 45:21lot more on the show. Just keep coming back. Just keep showing up. Just keep showing up. >> Just keep showing up. keep showing up.
261. 45:29>> And it's like that kind of role. It's not like she was asked to talk about, you know, casual Friday training for
262. 45:3810,000 people, right? This is like AI training for a huge organization. That means she's going to have visibility
263. 45:46from the seauite looking at what she's up to, right? Looking at the impact. Y if you don't think that's going to, you
264. 45:54know, help her survive a layoff round or two or get promoted or whatever it is, right? >> Exactly. >> That's just being in the game. Just
265. 46:01being in the conversation is so is so important. Um the other thing I think we should tell the people, I don't know if
266. 46:08Oh, sorry. You had something else, Ann. >> Well, I I have another fun fact for the >> Oh, good. >> really quickly. Um, so one of our
267. 46:16friends who had a booth in the virtual expo, Rachel Zipsy, >> Uhhuh. Oh, yeah. >> She shared with us that um, you know,
268. 46:24because we're like, "Hey, you know, does it did did it work? Did you >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So, they were getting So, so on the
269. 46:31Million Hearts Movement website, they were getting 10 clicks a day. They got 350 clicks on the days around the event
270. 46:39where they were a a vendor >> and oh I mean they're still in there right now. So they got 350 clicks a day each of those days. 30% of those
271. 46:49converted to some kind of engagement and they have three new clients. >> Wow. AI festivist works. >> It works people. AI festival for the
272. 47:02rest of us. >> Um, the other thing the good people should know is that tomorrow, tomorrow, Wednesday, at 3 p.m. Pacific, 400 pm my
273. 47:14time, Mountain time, Ann and I are going to be interviewing Kim Offford for the AI Readiness Project podcast. So, Kim
274. 47:22Kim spoke tonight. Um, she's just she's just in such a you know what's cool about her is I feel like she's in
275. 47:29>> she's in such a place of power and confidence. Like again there was a thing last year where like everyone was like I
276. 47:35think I'm doing this AI thing. It was like very like >> and this year it's just like I just feel like everyone's sort of centered
277. 47:44>> and they're like you know what I'm doing it. She goes I did this other festival and then I re realized Chicago needs a
278. 47:50film festival so I just started one. It's like, >> damn, it's so good. >> Yeah. >> So, anyway, so come come uh we'll talk
279. 47:58to Kim tomorrow. I'm really excited about that. >> I am, too. That's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. She's a good one.
280. 48:04>> She's a really good one. Really good. >> She's a gem. >> She's a gem. >> She's a gem. >> Well, you're a gem. And you too, Ann.
281. 48:14>> Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. >> You're a gem, too. >> A gem, too, Kyle. >> He's a gem. We're all gems. >> We're all gems, man. Um,
282. 48:22>> it's so good to see you. >> Yeah, good to see you, too. Good to see all the nice people. And I I might see
283. 48:28you on the other side of the screen for a couple minutes. >> Feel free to feel free to hang out. I So, so I you know that I've converted my
284. 48:36this AI learning lab thing into my part of my daily practice now. So, like I do work here, right? I just show up and do work. >> Okay.
285. 48:43>> Except tonight I'm like I don't want to. I'm just not. So, so I'm glad you >> goof off >> because it it further it further uh
286. 48:52enabled my goofing off. >> There we go. There we go. >> All right. Cool. Great. >> All right, everybody. >> Thanks.
287. 49:01>> Oh, that's so awesome. That's so awesome. Yeah, that was that was that was really fun tonight. Um Okay. What were we talking about?
288. 49:10We were talking about stuff on Xh. Oh, we talked about possible emergent.sh. I went and looked at it. You've got to pay for it to play with
289. 49:24it. So, I think so. Love your deep dive and video of your 1%. Very courageous. Oh, thank you very much. I appreciate that. Producer
290. 49:36Brandon, what's up? There is a limited free tier uh similar to lovable where you do get free 10 10 free prompts a day if you were
291. 49:44>> Oh, I see. All right. >> So, app.emergent.sh. Well, I'm going to do the same thing I always do. >> Share the wrong tab.
292. 49:56>> Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I'm going to do the same thing I always do, which is I'm going to make an Asteroids clone. We'll
293. 50:02see if it's any good. I will tell you right now. It's using claw 4.5 sonnet, which that's probably we should use opus.
294. 50:10Although opus is pro I bet I'm not allowed to use opus. We we'll find out. Um I want you to make me This is emergent.sh.
295. 50:21I want you to make me a an authentic Asteroids clone video game
296. 50:38complete with 70s phosphorus. phosphorus 70s phosphorus uh CRT
297. 50:54stylings and authentic uh sounds physics and awesome
298. 51:13game play. I assume this is going to do this pretty good because when I did this with Claude Opus when it first came out, it was pretty
299. 51:22damn good. Let's see if I can use it. Setting up safe environment, initializing cloud, provisioning resources,
300. 51:33configuring environment, starting the agent. By the way, this is what I'm doing right now is sort of play
301. 51:43first and then it's sort of avoid your daily practice. So, I am I am both. Look, I'm not just a binary human being. It's not one or the
302. 51:57other with me. I can be having fun and avoid doing my daily practice. Um, we are having a tight tonight show vibe tonight.
303. 52:13Oh man. All right. Let's see. Tik Tok pin. I got that. All right. What's What's this doing? App
304. 52:29preview processing. Next step. Your thought has been logged. Can I see? I mean, actually, one of the things I like about this is that it's
305. 52:46um it doesn't have a lot of the like I can't look at it writing code, which if I'm if I'm a coder is going to
306. 52:56piss me off. But as someone who doesn't really care as much about code and looking at it, I don't mind not having code. H fascinating
307. 53:14created five files. What did it create? GameJS, sound engine.JS, ship.js, Asteroid.js, and mock.js. There's some code.
308. 53:32If you're new here and you haven't watched a computer write code for you, look, computer wrote code for me. And
309. 53:40then you might the next next logical question might be, hey, what code is that, Kyle? It's a great question there, Bob. Uh, I don't know.
310. 54:00JS usually stands for JavaScript. Oh yeah, that what Brandon said. The whole point is it doesn't matter.
311. 54:08Are you using the $25 plan or the $200 plan? I'm using the free plan right now. I think it inferred it and ran with it.
312. 54:16What's going on? Is this Is this still going or did I run out of credits? It's possible I ran out of credits. No, it's
313. 54:23still going. Building something incredible. You know what's actually really funny about this? Created five files. Created five more files.
314. 54:34Um, here we go. Here's asteroids. Press space to start. Okay, here we go. Let's go. Open in new tab. Oh, that's pretty good. I like the I
315. 54:47like the graphics here. Wait. Oh, got to share that tab. Okay. Arrow keys to move. Space to fire. Down or S for hyperspace. This looks good.
316. 55:16No. No UFO. Ah. Oh, that was good. You see this
317. 55:33people? Okay. So, there's no there's no flames coming out of the ass end of the ship. The firing's too fast.
318. 55:49Damn it. Lovable better control. Okay. All right. So, let's go back.
319. 56:05Let's go back. I am now I am now successfully fully committed to not doing my practice tonight. Okay, let's see. Um, space ship
320. 56:20has no thrust fire. There are no UFOs. The the firing repeat rate
321. 56:36is a little fast. And it could use a little extra
322. 56:52visual magic. Okay, beautiful. Let's do that. Hang on. I got to do physical dexterity test on Tik Tok.
323. 57:05Better prompts, Kyle. Well, listen. Part of So, here's the thing. Emma, Mr. Mr. AI creating. Here's the deal, Mr. AI
324. 57:15Creating. My job is not to be great at writing prompts. Here's what I've learned about myself in this channel. My
325. 57:23job is to do the the the low-level [ __ ] prompting that most people are going to do. Like, one of the ways we can figure
326. 57:32out if tools are getting better is if I give it a shitty prompt, can it figure some stuff out from that shitty prompt?
327. 57:41I have in here gone off and done highly structured prompts and things like that. You can absolutely do that and you'll
328. 57:48get better results. But a that takes a while and b I I like seeing if like that was a fully functional Asteroids game with a shitty
329. 57:59prompt and now we should get like a decent 2.0 with a follow-on shitty prompt. Oh, it's Gareth. That's Gareth trolling me. [ __ ] Gareth.
330. 58:12That's the best. Oh my god. All right. So, if it can add an irid iridescent bubble in the background that floats
331. 58:21slowly and bumps against the edges. Oh, see if it can add. Oh, I'm sure it can. We'll just We'll just keep doing things here until until um
332. 58:34we'll just keep doing things here until we run out of credits, which is probably going to be like one more prompt from here.
333. 58:40because I'm using I'm I'm using uh Opus instead of Sonnet Gravity Jump. I tried the asteroid thing back in December and it didn't work for
334. 58:49me. Yeah, the the the in the past six months in the past six months all of the technology companies except Meta,
335. 59:04I mean what is Meta doing? They lost Yan Lun. Did did you hear why they lost Yan Lun? He's the guy that [ __ ] he basically,
336. 59:14you know, is the is one of the godfathers of why any of this technology [ __ ] exists. And they and they hired a 22year-old
337. 59:24engineer for $200 million a year. And they said to Yan Lun, "You report to him now. Yan was like, "Yeah,
338. 59:40no, I'm good. Peace out." Meta release Sam audio. Okay, cool. That's worth looking at. I also think they're going to retire Llama. I think I
339. 59:53think they just don't have a large language model, which is wild. Lovable, better for controlled front-end work.
340. 1:00:02Is this still going? Yeah, it's still doing its thing. Oh. Oh, look what this did. This is cool.
341. 1:00:16Look what it says. The the Let me check the front end logs and take a new screenshot. So, it's I'll fix those issues. It's finding bugs
342. 1:00:28and it's taking screenshots of of itself playing the game. That's pretty slick. I haven't I haven't seen a vibe coding tool do that on its
343. 1:00:37own. Although I I bet uh Gen Spark and Manis probably do that, but I haven't seen like a standalone vibe coding tool
344. 1:00:46like this do that. That's pretty slick. Well, two 200 million. Well, nah. Yeah, they No, it was that 22 year old got a
345. 1:01:01bonus of 200 million and then I think it's a hundred million dollar a year salary at 22. Listen, I'm sure he's very smart. I'm
346. 1:01:16sure he's very smart. You know what you could do with $200 million? You could you could invest 190 million on a startup
347. 1:01:29and go spend $10 million [ __ ] around for a year. Oh my god. Anti-gravity does that, Kyle? Oh, cool. I haven't I I I Here's my
348. 1:01:44problem with anti-gravity. I wanted to change the background color and I made the mistake of going to the settings
349. 1:01:53tab. And when I saw that there were 40 or 50 pages of settings, I was like, I'm good. I don't I that's that's a whole other level of vibe
350. 1:02:07coding than I'm willing to to to play with. Okay, let's see. Excellent. The game is working great now. I can see score increasing
351. 1:02:17asteroid splitting beautiful phosphor trails medium asteroids enhanced CRT effects. Okay. Is it done? Agent is waiting. Oh,
352. 1:02:31is it waiting for me? Visible. Okay. This is a front end only asteroids clone using mock data for high scores. I've tested the best of my
353. 1:02:45capabilities. Would you like to proceed with the back-end development of a persistent high score to MongoDB? Uh, I'm just going to say um
354. 1:02:57um local um temp scoring is fine. I just want to play
355. 1:03:111.67. 67 free credit remaining. I think I'm done. Emergent offers deeper agent-driven full stack automation with multi-agent
356. 1:03:24orchestration for speed. Good lord. Emergent offers deeper. Wait, put that back up, Brandon. Deeper. Okay, deeper is a word we understand.
357. 1:03:38Agent driven. Nobody knows what that means. Full stack. Nobody knows what that means. Automation. One person knows
358. 1:03:46what that means. With multi- aent orchestration for speed. Good lord. Deploy. Wait. Go play. Go. Press play to
359. 1:04:00start. Wait. Preview. Preview. Okay. Let's go out. All right. Let's see if this is better.
360. 1:04:19Ah. Oh, look. It's got a CRT uh scan line going down it. That's pretty cool. >> Ah, jerk.
361. 1:04:38>> So, I I know what most of those words mean. I know what the words mean, but it's just it's just like nonsensical word soup.
362. 1:04:48>> Yeah. Well, I I think what get out is it puts this in the same classification of wind surf or the anti-gravities opposed
363. 1:04:57to lovable, which is more of a >> front end. You're just making something pretty that is getting more and more
364. 1:05:05capable of being behind the scenes stronger. like they have payments now, they have lovable cloud. This does all
365. 1:05:11that. So, if you need a bunch of smart agents that are working together but don't want to go through 50 pages worth
366. 1:05:18of settings in anti-gravity, this is probably your jam. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If this is that powerful and it's this this is in the
367. 1:05:25neighborhood of love easy. Um, but all I want to do is play video games. So from my childhood.
368. 1:05:44Ah. Oh, that was good. Wait, where am I? [ __ ] Damn it.
369. 1:06:13I'm just one of the things that's given me great joy right now is I I am no longer alive. I'm just playing I'm just playing Asteroids.
370. 1:06:28Don't tell Liz. Don't tell Liz. I will I will confess on Thursday at the at the practice lab that I was I was a bad boy
371. 1:06:37and didn't didn't do my practice on what is tonight? Tuesday night. Oh my god. All right, that was good.
372. 1:06:49Um there you go. Uh I would say that emergent is probably worth experimenting with. There's my There's my uh my two cents.
373. 1:07:03None of those types of games is astray like asteroids come out after asteroids. Wait, none of those games
374. 1:07:11it's act it's actually like asteroids come out after asteroids. Oh, I'm telling Liz. Oh, man. You want to talk about AI life hacks tomorrow?
375. 1:07:22>> Sure. Uh we're having a whole uh conversation in the comments about a game that is similar in nature where
376. 1:07:31it's asteroids but there's two ships and we were just trying to identify those in the comments. But >> oh >> tomorrow
377. 1:07:39we have AI life hacks and AI life hacks is awesome. We've got a bunch of new people coming with a bunch of new hacks
378. 1:07:45presuming but basically this is the opportunity to learn how to use AI in your everyday life. For example,
379. 1:07:52our dryer uh [ __ ] the bed and it says, "Okay, we're done. It's not going to work anymore." And we thought, "Okay,
380. 1:08:00we'll just get it fixed." And the drier tech Well, first I asked Chet PT. I'm like, "So, how do I fix this?" And says,
381. 1:08:06"You're going to need to call a technician." So, I called a technician. And uh they came out and they said, "Oh,
382. 1:08:12yeah. This is uh this is not looking good." So, now we have a choice. Do we put good money after bad to fix an old
383. 1:08:19appliance or do we go out and buy a new one? And if we buy a new one, >> you know, you've got a hundred different
384. 1:08:26options. So, while this live has been going on, I've had an agent in chat GPT in the background doing product research
385. 1:08:35on washers and dryers and repair versus replace. And so after we get off the live and after I get the dog some
386. 1:08:42cheese, we're gonna take a look at that and figure out what our next steps are going to be. So that >> come tomorrow and join us.
387. 1:08:51>> That's awesome. Beautiful. That's a great one. I actually I had a it was it was our washer that broke.
388. 1:09:00Like one of the hoses broke, but then some other thing broke. And it's like a really old whirlpool. like really old.
389. 1:09:10And then chat GPT told me you're you're missing this part or this part's broken. And then gave me the part number.
390. 1:09:20I think I actually searched for an appliance repair store. I called them. They had the part. I went down, bought the part. The guy goes,
391. 1:09:32"Oh, you got that whirlpool? That'll last forever. He goes, "That's good. They don't make them like that anymore."
392. 1:09:41And I fixed the part and I fixed the the washer. I felt very manly. It was Chad GPT. Helps me feel Listen, listen. Are you
393. 1:09:53feeling a little non-manly in your life? Haven't fixed a washer lately? Try Chat GPT. It'll seem like you paid attention to
394. 1:10:04your stepdad when you were a kid. Oh, good lord. All right, good people. I'm get out of here. Oh, you want to
395. 1:10:14see? No, it doesn't. It's not all that interesting to look at. I'll show you tomorrow when I actually get back to my practice.
396. 1:10:22I'll show you what I did. But, you know, in notion, I've been working on setting up my project database, right? And then
397. 1:10:28my project to-dos. And then I've had this idea. I've got this idea stuck in my head. And and one of the things with
398. 1:10:35me and ideas is most of the times ideas come in, they get really bright and then they burn out and they go away.
399. 1:10:42Occasionally there's an idea that comes in my head, it burns bright and it just keeps burning. And so one of those is
400. 1:10:50creating a project management tool that is based on the people of the project rather than the tasks of the project.
401. 1:11:03That what hit me was every task of a project for the most part you're doing because some person that is critical to that project needs
402. 1:11:13something. And I thought, what if I have a rel like what if I build a thing that reminds me that in order for that project to be
403. 1:11:22successful, producer Brandon needs to have eh rather than just you need to do eh and give it to producer Brandon like
404. 1:11:30make it about producer Brandon. So that's my idea. So today I went into notion. I did two things. I downloaded it to my
405. 1:11:39work computer which I hadn't done and sure enough I logged in and it logged into my account and everything was
406. 1:11:47there. So that was that was a victory. And then I said to Harry, my AI assistant in notion, I said, I've got this idea for a people
407. 1:11:58a people centric thing. And I said, what do you recommend from a database standpoint I should set up because I
408. 1:12:05wanted people, but I also wanted to be able to associate those people to a project. And so it actually set up two
409. 1:12:12additional databases, a people database and then the people project database where you actually assign a person and
410. 1:12:20connect them to a project. And I and there's a good reason why they're separate because you might have one
411. 1:12:26person in the person database that's assigned to three different product projects. And so that database schema is
412. 1:12:33set up now and I added a bunch of people to it and it it worked and they've all got labels and I'm really excited about it. So,
413. 1:12:40this is the old Kyle I remember pre-practice. You need to screw a screw practice day every week. That's not a bad idea.
414. 1:12:49You're you're 1% of the way to Salesforce. I'll tell you what, if I'm any percentage of the way to Salesforce,
415. 1:12:56I'm going to flush it down the toilet. That is the biggest piece of garbage software I've ever used. All right. Um, Reggie want to do an
416. 1:13:07emerging LOL. There you go. Vickiy's Vickiy's knocking down those LOL's. They're coming hot and heavy now. You
417. 1:13:14got to calm. Everybody get ready to learn. There's some There's some learning coming. All right. Um,
418. 1:13:21by the way, the banana banana is back in nano banana. Good. I some corporate weenie got rid of the banana.
419. 1:13:30Um, beautiful. All right, you guys are working out. LOL's. I want to see that. Kyle, you want to see what me to say? Screw screw having
420. 1:13:39this be a practice one day a week. We can do that. Oh, I like this. Tell me more. I have a bunch of Kyle Reggie, I watched you on
421. 1:13:49YouTube and it was helpful. Thanks for sharing that. Cheat day. All right, I think we might have a cheat day.
422. 1:13:59The question is, do we schedule the cheat day or do I just give into the fear on a cheat day? And I only get one
423. 1:14:08a week. So, I could blow it on Monday or I could save it for Friday. If I'm having a particularly intentional
424. 1:14:15week, maybe I don't do a cheat day the whole week. I don't know. These are good. These are good questions. Organic
425. 1:14:21cheat day. I think you're right, Corey. I think if I book it, then I'll plan for Yeah. No, I think Okay, here's the rule.
426. 1:14:30Four days a week, I'm doing a daily practice. One day of the week, I can choose to do a cheat day. I can live with that. I could also
427. 1:14:41choose to not do a cheat day. I could just say, you know what? This week, I'm working my ass off going in. There might be
428. 1:14:50tears. There might be rage. It It will likely be boring. Oh, good. Producer Brandon. Oh, good. I thought we were about to have some
429. 1:15:03structure. No, no, no. We do not have structure here. All right. This is good. I like this. I'm happy. I'm happy. Just do it, Kyle. All
430. 1:15:13right. Beautiful. Love it. All right. I'm getting out of here. Y'all were fun tonight. It was cool. Ann
431. 1:15:20and Donnie joined us. That was really sweet. Um Tomorrow's Wednesday. Nothing special going on. Uh, yes, tomorrow come to the
432. 1:15:33um AI Readiness Project podcast with Kim Offford. If you don't know Kim Offford, she's really great. She'll probably show
433. 1:15:39some films, I'm hoping, and then we'll talk to her about what she's up to. All right. So, beautiful. I'm gonna get out of
434. 1:15:46here. Oh, we could Did you know we could set an outro video here in StreamYard there, producer Brandon? We should. We
435. 1:15:54should I should make an outro video that's like Frank. All right, everybody. See you later.
