0:04 Champ Nutella.
0:16 She came up here like slow motor.
0:30 I know. I know, champ. I know. It's
0:34 exhausting, isn't it? Exhausting. Ready?
0:38 We'll start over now. I got a
0:39 microphone. Hello, microphone. Hello,
0:42 Moto. Good evening, good people. Hey,
0:45 Tobias was shaking. Got a Murphy in the
0:48 house.
1:07 His beard was warmer than a look in her
1:10 eyes.
1:15 She sat on a stool and he said, "What do
1:18 you want?"
1:22 She said, "Give me a love that don't
1:25 freeze up inside.
1:35 Said I have melted
1:38 in my head,
1:42 but to sit next to you when I shiver and
1:46 shake.
1:50 And if I knew love, well, I don't think
1:53 I'd be
1:58 asking myself if I've got what it takes.
2:05 I do your icy blue.
2:14 Should I stop?
2:17 Turn what's been frozen for years
2:23 into a river of tears.
2:41 Good evening good people. Happy Monday.
2:44 We are just
2:46 a two weeks like a week and a half week
2:48 and a half out from Festivus. And Murphy
2:52 in the house.
2:54 AI Festivus 2025. It's going to be
2:57 banger. Uh if you don't know about it,
2:59 you should know about it. Oh, we only
3:00 have seven people in here. We'll wait.
3:01 We'll talk about it when we got some
3:02 more people in here. We got to wait for
3:04 the the interlopers.
3:07 We got slackers. We got slackers on this
3:09 channel. They're like, "Oh, get there
3:11 around 8:15." The first 15 minutes is
3:14 really just him singing with the dog.
3:16 Well, the dog singing and whatever he
3:18 does.
3:27 Hey, are you talking about me? If you're
3:29 here, you're not on the naughty list.
3:33 It's those late people.
3:36 No Tik Tok notification yet. I don't
3:38 know what that means.
3:52 So, if you're on TikTok, do me a favor.
3:54 What is happening with the hair? I look
3:55 like a 50s rocker.
3:59 um
4:01 share the live because it looks like
4:03 Brandon's saying there hasn't been a
4:04 notification gone out yet because
4:06 because what you call it Tik Tok hates
4:08 us. You know what it is? They're
4:11 jealous. It's just like Sam Alman,
4:14 you know, he he pretends to have a solid
4:16 ego, you know, but in the end, little
4:19 insecurity there. Same with Tik Tok.
4:24 My They're afraid of my star shining too
4:27 bright.
5:11 Didn't mean to cause you any sorrow.
5:15 Didn't
5:17 mean to cause you any pain.
5:28 Only want one time to see you laughing.
5:33 Only want to see you laughing in that
5:36 purple rain. Purple rain. Purple rain.
5:44 Purple rain, purple rain.
5:50 Purple rain, papa rain.
5:58 I only want to see you laughing in that
6:02 bubble ring.
6:06 Um
6:14 What's going on? Who was it in here?
6:17 Someone in here, one of the irregulars
6:18 sent me a note. I can't remember who it
6:20 was because I'm a terrible person. That
6:23 their entire like division at work got
6:26 laid off except for them. Wasn't that
6:29 someone in here? Was that someone in
6:30 here? Um, I think it's in my LinkedIn.
6:34 But
6:36 that's uh that's one of the things we
6:38 talk about in here is uh to the point of
6:42 obnoxiousness,
6:44 tell people you're working with AI. Get
6:46 curious about AI. Show up for things
6:48 like the AI learning lab. Join things
6:50 like the AI uh AI salon mastermind
6:53 practice lab.
6:56 Practice. Do stuff. Go to AI festival. I
6:59 swear to God. Here's You want a career
7:01 tip? It's gonna sound [ __ ] stupid.
7:07 Go to AI Festivus, attend all 24 hours
7:10 and and put on your LinkedIn thing, you
7:13 know, attended AI Festivus 2025. Switch
7:17 your cams. I can do that.
7:20 Um,
7:22 I swear to God, man, it's making a
7:24 difference for people. Everyone's like,
7:26 "Everybody hates AI." I know they do. I
7:29 know everybody hates AI because they're
7:32 jealous and scared and
7:36 and if you don't use it, it seems like
7:38 [ __ ] voodoo.
8:25 Side hustle mimi. Guys, my app is one
8:28 step away from getting approved by the
8:30 app store. sticker app made with nano
8:33 banana or nano nana.
8:38 Um, amazing. And I'm assuming, side
8:40 hustle mimi, you're saying it like that
8:42 because you've not launched something in
8:44 the app store before. And I'm also
8:46 assuming that you're not a programmer.
8:58 Also true. Yes. And yes.
9:02 So, so everybody side hustle Mimi. So,
9:05 in the in the AI practice lab this past
9:08 week, we talked about
9:12 uh extending your your skill set with
9:15 AI, looking at tangential things that
9:19 are beyond what you uh
9:22 what you're comfortable
9:24 admitting to yourself that you're
9:26 capable of. Right?
9:28 So in the olden timey world,
9:32 you know, three years ago,
9:36 if side hustle Mimi No wanted to create
9:40 a an app for the app store, she would
9:44 have to either find a geek, hey, hey,
9:47 does anybody know how to program in
9:49 Swift for native iOS applications?
9:53 And then it would just be crickets
9:57 and and then she'd find one guy be like,
9:59 "Uh, I can I could probably do it." And
10:02 she'd be like, "How how much is it going
10:04 to I want to make a a sticker app." And
10:07 um
10:09 I don't $25,000.
10:11 And she'd be like, "Um, no, it's a
10:14 sticker app." And then if she was really
10:17 motivated, she'd be like, "Okay, I guess
10:20 I'll go teach myself programming.
10:24 I'll go get I'll go get the Apple
10:27 development tools. I'll teach myself
10:29 Swift.
10:31 I'll go to Google and look up Swift
10:34 videos that I can watch.
10:37 And then she'd take two years to learn
10:40 how to do that,
10:43 right?
10:51 That's not the world we live in anymore.
10:54 She's like, "Oh, I made some cool
10:56 sticker stickers with Nano Banana. I
10:58 wonder if I could sell those in an app."
11:00 Sure, of course you can. How do you do
11:03 it? I don't know. You go find a tool
11:06 that does that [ __ ] And you just go,
11:07 "Make me a thing.
11:12 Out it comes."
11:15 That's awesome.
11:20 That's exactly how it went, Kyle. And
11:22 listen, and please, if if if anyone in
11:27 any way thinks I'm making fun of her,
11:28 I'm like, we are we live in remarkable
11:32 remarkable times
11:34 where you can have a relatively informal
11:37 idea or like stumble upon an idea
11:41 and within a short amount of time have
11:45 executed something in a domain like app
11:48 development that you historically had,
11:52 you know, no experience in.
11:54 And in the old world, you you would
11:57 likely not have any experience in it,
11:59 right? Because there there are what I
12:01 call I call them aching gaps where where
12:03 as human beings, there's things we're
12:05 good at. There's things we're decent at.
12:09 For me, the hierarchy goes like this.
12:10 There's good there's things you're
12:12 really good at and you love, right? Then
12:14 there's things you're really good at and
12:16 you don't love so much. Then there's
12:18 things you're not great at but you love
12:20 and then you know it sort of goes out in
12:22 this sort of dissipating you know uh
12:25 bell curve right this dissipating bell
12:27 curve of of [ __ ] you can do and out on
12:30 the ends of that bell curve when when
12:33 you get down to the you know the under
12:35 one right if this is a hundred when you
12:38 get down to the sevens and and out to
12:41 the ends
12:43 those are the things in your life you
12:45 know you can't do those are your gaps
12:47 Right?
12:49 The aching gaps are those things that
12:52 you know you can't do, but you're like,
12:53 "Oh man, I wish I could. I wish I could
12:57 draw. I wish I could program. I wish I
12:59 could have a business strategy. I wish I
13:01 knew marketing." Now you can, right?
13:05 Oh, she made a website for it and it's
13:07 pinned. It's Where's it pinned? Pinned.
13:10 Oh,
13:12 Co Kuties. That's a cute name. Okay,
13:16 hang on. Let me go find it.
13:24 And share your screen, please. Yes. Co-
13:29 keycuties.
13:31 Very cute name.com.
13:34 I assume you vibecoded the website as
13:36 well. Is that right? Puerto Rican frog.
13:41 Puerto Rican frog vibes in every
13:44 message. Okay, I want this app. Wait,
13:47 hang on. I gotta share my screen. This
13:50 is awesome.
13:54 She's She's absolutely an irregular
13:58 turtles.
14:00 Puerto Rican frogs.
14:07 Oh my god, that's very cool. Um, let me
14:10 change the
14:12 window size here so it's a little better
14:13 on mobile.
14:18 Made for playful expressive chats.
14:22 More sticker packs on the way. Get early
14:25 access for new packs. So cool. Get the
14:28 app. I assume that jumps you to the app
14:31 store. She's going to put it on Google
14:32 Play, too. How cool is that? Black bar,
14:36 please. Yes. Yes. Carrying on. Rada.
14:40 Yes. Cheerio pit pit.
14:43 Beautiful. Um, congratulations.
14:46 So, there you go. Here's here's a here's
14:48 a Monday a Monday rant is um
14:55 I don't know your relationship
14:58 with um
15:04 with your own insecurities and your own
15:10 your own knowledge of what you can and
15:12 can't do.
15:18 that we don't live in that world
15:19 anymore. We don't. I've got writer's
15:23 block. You know that writer's block
15:25 doesn't exist anymore, right?
15:29 Like, it doesn't exist.
15:32 What was writer's block? Well, writer's
15:34 block was an insecurity that you
15:36 couldn't have enough ideas to do
15:39 something and get yourself moving. And
15:41 so you'd sit there and stare at the page
15:44 or the screen and you would just psych
15:46 yourself out. And like going to like
15:49 ideiation sites and you know they they
15:52 used to sell these they probably still
15:53 do decks of cards that are like writers
15:56 stuck in writer's block and you flip
15:58 cards and it shows you like Puerto Rican
15:59 frogs and you're like and you're like ah
16:03 yeah let me write a story about Puerto
16:04 Rican frogs. Um,
16:07 that used to be how it was, but now if
16:10 you've got writer's block, you can
16:12 literally just turn on ChatGBT and go,
16:15 I've got writer's block. Based on what
16:17 you know about me, can you give me some
16:19 ideas that don't suck? And it will.
16:23 And it will.
16:26 You'll be like, "Boy, I really, you know
16:28 what I've been meaning to do for years
16:30 is is read the tax code. I've I've never
16:33 been good at understanding every single
16:35 loophole in the tax code. Okay, just go.
16:38 Now you can. Now you can. Now you can.
16:42 You know what would have been cool? If
16:44 I'd had gone into into high-end particle
16:47 physics in high school.
16:51 I want to do physics experiments with
16:54 high-speed colliders. Okay, go make one
16:56 in your garage.
17:02 Call me AI. Good day, guys. Good day,
17:05 Kyle. What's happening? Shake. What's
17:07 shaking?
17:16 So, one of the things we talk about in
17:18 the AI practice lab is
17:22 in order to get to all the stuff that is
17:25 now possible.
17:27 The way to drive yourself to madness is
17:29 try to keep up with the tools. Try to
17:31 understand like one of the things I'm
17:33 going to play with tonight is there's
17:34 the new alpha version of the new
17:38 midjourney interface, web interface.
17:41 Um, and we're just going to go play with
17:42 that. But there's like 10 of those a
17:46 day. There's there's 10 new tools or
17:48 there's 10 new interfaces or there's new
17:50 features or there's the old feature now
17:52 works better and it didn't work before
17:54 but now it does. And if you try to keep
17:57 up with that [ __ ] it's it's literally
17:58 madness. It's just exhausting and it's
18:01 madness. So the only way that I know out
18:04 of that is to not focus on the tools to
18:07 to assume
18:10 that at the point you need a certain
18:11 kind of tool, a you'll be able to find
18:13 it, b you'll be able to figure it out,
18:15 and c it'll be good enough to do what
18:16 you need it to do. And I think all of
18:18 those are true now, right? We have deep
18:21 research tools. You can say, "Go find me
18:24 all of the tools that make video and
18:27 then rank them by which one has the best
18:30 free tier. and then just go play with a
18:32 bunch of video tools like like that's
18:34 just minutes away.
18:37 It is but minutes away. Just go do that
18:41 for any tool. So where do you start?
18:44 Well, where you start is with you. Where
18:46 you start is with what do you care
18:48 about? What are your values? Who are the
18:51 people you care about? What are the
18:52 issues you care about? What difference
18:55 do you want to make in the world?
18:58 Right? Side hustle Mimi is like, you
19:00 know what? I want to spread a little joy
19:02 in the world and I want to do it with a
19:04 little cultural kick to my Puerto Rican
19:06 peeps.
19:08 How [ __ ] cool is that?
19:11 You know,
19:14 that's coming from her.
19:17 And and you know, someone could look at
19:19 this and they could look at those
19:20 stickers and go, "Oh, I know how she
19:21 made those stick. I can make stickers
19:23 better."
19:25 It's not about the tool. It's not about
19:28 the tool. It's about her. This is this
19:30 is a self this is an expression of who
19:32 she is, what she values,
19:35 the change she wants to make in the
19:36 world. She wants to make the world a
19:37 little better place [ __ ] far out. And
19:40 now she can do that without having to
19:42 spend $25,000 on some loser iOS
19:45 programmer who's going to take her money
19:47 and never deliver the app, which having
19:50 developed a lot of apps in my life,
19:51 that's that's that's the that's that's
19:55 not the exception. That's the rule. The
19:57 exception is one of those people
19:59 actually finishes something.
20:05 Oh man. But anyway, congratulations.
20:07 That's super cool. Really beautiful.
20:09 Love it. I love it. I love it. I love
20:12 it. I love it. Love it. Love it. Love
20:14 it.
20:23 Vicki, I posted a vibe coding bundle in
20:27 tools and tips in the salon. Very cool.
20:29 69 bucks onetime payment for 12 months
20:32 of bolt emergent and others. Oh, cool.
20:36 Okay. In Okay, so in tools and tips in
20:40 the salon. So go to the AI salon. Go to
20:43 tools and tips
20:48 and then there's a whole pile of vibe
20:50 coding things you can subscribe to for
20:53 69 bucks. I would the things in vibe
20:57 coding are changing so fast that I
20:59 normally wouldn't go for something like
21:00 that but I kind of feel like thanks to
21:04 Gemini 3
21:06 um opus claude opus 4.5 and um
21:13 chatgbt 52 now we're up to yeah 52
21:18 all three of those are so good at coding
21:20 most of these vibe coding platforms are
21:22 using these power in Fact, Lovable just
21:25 added um Opus 4.5 as their default
21:29 model.
21:30 Um so these vibe coding tools are going
21:34 from Yeah, it was okay. I mean, he kind
21:36 of made something that was kind of
21:38 usable to they're pretty [ __ ] good.
21:41 So if you have not vibe coded, if you're
21:43 not a side hustle mimi who is out there
21:45 side hustling up apps and websites, um
21:48 it's probably the time to start playing
21:50 with that stuff. It's over $1,200 worth
21:53 of products for 69 bucks.
21:57 That's pretty cool. Genai is the revenge
22:00 of the entrepreneur. Ron, I that's
22:02 that's it. I mean, so so there's a
22:05 couple of things. If you have an
22:07 entrepreneurial spirit,
22:10 this is the [ __ ] renaissance, right?
22:12 Because never before I you know, it's
22:15 funny. in my in my entire life, I've
22:18 always had this desire to build
22:20 something, do something. And I was an
22:22 only child, so I always like my
22:26 instinct, my core instinct is just do it
22:29 on your own. Just go build it. Just go
22:30 build it. Just go build it. And as as
22:33 one of those people that's a just go
22:35 build it kind of guy that also thinks
22:39 you have to do everything yourself,
22:41 the world was a very frustrating place,
22:44 right? because to do it yourself, you
22:46 could only get it so far and you would
22:48 just run into wall after wall after
22:50 wall. Those walls have been obliterated.
22:52 So, if you're entrepreneurial, this is
22:54 the we're in the middle of the Great
22:56 Renaissance. If you're not
22:58 entrepreneurial,
23:00 um
23:02 sit down and meditate. Get, you know,
23:05 burn some incense and get um get
23:08 yourself um swimming in the ocean of of
23:14 um
23:17 celebrating risk because being an
23:21 entrepreneur sucks. Your your
23:23 relationship to risk uh if if your
23:26 relationship to risk is oh no, oh no, I
23:29 can't do anything risky. Um, these are
23:32 going to be it's going to be harder
23:33 times. But if you can get your head
23:35 around the risk side of things, um, and
23:38 start thinking like, what do I want to
23:40 do? If I could do anything, if there
23:43 were no barriers for me to accomplish
23:46 the thing I want to do, is there
23:48 something that I'd want to do? Put
23:50 yourself in that headsp space. Start
23:52 thinking about that stuff. Tik Tok pin.
23:54 The hardest thing is figuring out the
23:57 squeeze to juice ratio. Yeah, it Yeah,
23:59 exactly. So,
24:02 what what that means is if you if you
24:06 start vibe coding, what what you'll find
24:08 pretty quickly is, oh yeah, you can get
24:10 an app up and running really quickly and
24:12 then you're like, "Oh, you wanted it to
24:14 work and you wanted it to be good and
24:17 you wanted it to be secure and you
24:19 wanted it to actually have a database
24:20 and you wanted it to actually have login
24:23 and then and then there's this whole
24:25 other thing and and Mimi or
24:30 No, what you're about to enter is the
24:33 whole next phase, right? The first phase
24:36 was can you make an app? Can you get it
24:39 into the app store? And can you get it
24:40 approved? And it sounds like you're on
24:42 the verge of that, which that's
24:43 remarkable. Now you enter into marketing
24:46 world, right? So, okay, next. Now you
24:49 got to market it. What's your cost of
24:51 acquisition? How, you know, what's your
24:53 churn rate? What's your ARR, your MR?
24:56 All that sort of stuff.
24:59 Okay. So, a couple of things. Um,
25:02 there's enough folks here now. I want to
25:03 talk about this. If you could Oh, you've
25:04 got it there. Uh, Brandon, anticipating
25:07 where I'm headed. I love it.
25:10 A week from Friday. So, this Friday is
25:14 not the day it starts, but a week from
25:16 Friday, two days after Exmas,
25:19 some call it Christmas, um,
25:24 starts AI Festivus. AI Festivus 2025.
25:27 So, what I want you to do is I want you
25:28 to go to aifestivist.com.
25:31 There's a whole bunch of things I want
25:32 you to do there. You can even jot these
25:34 down with a pen. Like, oh, pens. Pens
25:36 are these things we used to use with
25:39 this stuff called paper
25:43 that is made from trees
25:46 and you can write things down on it. Um,
25:52 first thing I want you to do, go
25:54 register. If you have not registered for
25:55 AI festivals, go register. Why? Cuz it's
25:59 free.
26:01 And it's it's the Saturday and Sunday
26:03 after the holidays, but before New
26:05 Year's. So, you're just going to be
26:07 sitting around in a tryptophane coma
26:10 anyway, hung over with your relatives
26:12 that you've grown thin of
26:15 tolerating, right? So, what what do you
26:19 need? You need an opportunity to go. I I
26:22 gotta go do a work thing.
26:25 How long you gonna be? Uh uh 12 hours
26:28 today. And is there more? Yeah,
26:32 tomorrow. Saturday. Well, how many hours
26:34 on Saturday? Another 12 hours. It's 24
26:38 hours of AI free education.
26:43 24 [ __ ] hours of free education. So,
26:46 first thing you're going to do is
26:47 register. Second thing you're going to
26:49 do, email your friends the link to AI
26:52 Festivus. Okay?
26:55 Email your friends. Which friends? The
26:57 ones that are into AI. You could.
26:59 They're already into AI. You know who
27:01 you should send it to? Your friends that
27:03 hate you for talking about AI.
27:07 The ones that hate AI. Ones like, "I'll
27:09 never use it. I'll never use it. I'll
27:12 never use AI.
27:17 I don't know why they make that face.
27:18 Why do they make that face?
27:21 We're just going, "Hey, this thing's
27:23 cool."
27:24 Okay.
27:26 I I mean, I I hear my mom in my head.
27:29 Your face is going to stick like that.
27:35 Okay. So, second thing you're going to
27:37 do is you're going to email your friends
27:38 aifestivist.com. Tell them to go [ __ ]
27:41 register. Doesn't hurt. It's free.
27:45 Okay, next thing you're going to do,
27:48 consider spending 27 bucks on the deluxe
27:51 um replay bundle that Ann Murphy put
27:54 together. She put together a whole bunch
27:55 of stuff and she's still adding to it
27:57 because she's Ann Murphy. She just she
27:59 is an overd deliverer by a lot. It's
28:02 awesome. Um so the replay bundle, if if
28:06 you watch all 24 hours live, great. Some
28:09 people aren't going to be able to do
28:10 that because I don't know, apparently
28:11 they love their families and you know,
28:13 I've heard that's true. I've not
28:15 experienced it myself, but you know, it
28:16 it happens.
28:18 Um, so if you can't see the whole thing,
28:21 or more likely, you do see the whole
28:23 thing, but you're like, I want to go
28:24 back and watch, there's going to be a
28:26 lot of hands-on tutorials and things
28:27 like that. Um, so, so pick up the replay
28:31 bundle. And if you're like, well, Kyle,
28:33 I'm probably not I don't have time to go
28:34 watch all that stuff. Here's another
28:36 possibility. Just buy the replay bundle
28:39 as a way to support Fest of Us. It's 27
28:42 bucks, right? We're putting out 24 hours
28:45 of programming for free.
28:48 You can you spend 27 bucks on a latte
28:51 and a and a caramel cookie at Starbucks,
28:58 you [ __ ] glutton. Okay, so buy the
29:02 bundle. Next thing you're going to do,
29:04 there are three different ways you can
29:07 sponsor Festivus. As a big corporation,
29:09 you can do a full-on sponsorship. We've
29:11 got a whole sponsorship page. If you're
29:13 just a person, you're like, "But I'm
29:15 just I'm just little old me." We have a
29:18 friends and family sponsorship
29:20 opportunity. I think it starts at 50
29:22 bucks. I I don't even know. It might
29:24 even be less than that. But anyway, you
29:26 can go go just sponsor Festivist
29:32 The third way you can do it is we've got
29:35 a virtual trade show booth. So if you've
29:37 got a small company, you can buy a
29:40 virtual trade show booth and they start
29:41 at 50 bucks and then if you want your
29:42 graphics on there, it's 150 and I think
29:44 it goes up to 500 or something like
29:46 that, something higher. But like really
29:49 really reasonable um um you know
29:54 opportunities to get yourself or your
29:56 brand in front of the AI festivist
29:57 crowd, but also just to support
29:59 festivals. Okay. So, go do that. Go do
30:02 that.
30:07 I'll just leave that for now. We'll come
30:09 back to AI Salon in a bit.
31:03 Okay. Tik Tok pin. Mary. Um, I
31:06 registered twice. Don't hold it against
31:07 me, please. Okay. So, we're going to
31:09 have one last person, but you can bring
31:11 someone else. Bring someone else to fill
31:13 that slot.
31:18 All right. What's up with Nano Banana
31:19 this evening? It won't give me a wide
31:20 image. Nano Banana was weird today and
31:24 uh uh what you call it was weird today.
31:26 Um
31:28 Hedra, I was trying to render something
31:31 in Hedra and it was not going. In fact,
31:32 let me see if I can go do it now.
31:36 Uh
31:43 Down, down, down.
31:54 Uh uh uh.
31:56 What the world needs now is love. Sweet
32:01 love.
32:03 It's the only thing that there's just
32:05 too little.
32:08 What the world needs now is love. Sweet
32:12 love. I guess I got to Am I sharing the
32:14 right screen?
32:17 Pop up my screen share there, buddy.
32:19 Thank you.
32:21 So, here I am at Hedra.
32:26 And I created I created kind of a fun
32:28 image. I think it's a fun image.
32:34 What the world needs now is love. Sweet
32:38 love.
32:40 It's the only thing that there's just
32:43 too little of.
32:46 So, I made some podcasters. See those
32:49 podcasters where they look like they're
32:50 sitting in the in the in silhouette
32:53 light and then see the Sydney poster in
32:55 the background. And then I made a uh
32:59 what you call it?
33:01 I made a notebook LM
33:04 podcast.
33:06 Welcome to the So, we're going to do
33:08 that one.
33:10 Okay.
33:13 So, I tried this like 10 times today and
33:16 I kept getting API errors. So, we'll see
33:19 if this does anything.
33:30 Oh, you know what else is weird about
33:31 Nano Banana Vicki is
33:35 sometimes I get watermarks and sometimes
33:38 I don't like in my in in my individual
33:41 account that's the the ultra account
33:44 where it's like 150 or 200 bucks a month
33:46 whatever it is um
33:50 for like the past two weeks I had
33:51 watermarks on everything and then today
33:54 I there was No watermark. So, I don't
33:56 know what's going on. It's weird.
34:25 Open up your mind, feet like me. Open up
34:28 your mind plans and damn you're free.
34:32 Look to your heart and you'll find love,
34:34 love, love, love. Listen to the moment.
34:38 See error.
34:43 Hedra H API error.
34:47 We've You will not be charged these
34:48 credits. Generation FA failed. Please
34:51 contact support. MidJourney Alpha. Yeah,
34:54 I think we'll go to Mid Journey Alpha.
34:56 Listen to that. Yeah, that's a good
34:58 song, isn't it? Jason Morz.
35:01 Open up your mind. See like me. Open up
35:06 D free. Listen to your heart and you'll
35:09 find love, love, love, love. Listen to
35:13 the music in the moment that sink. It's
35:16 just one big family and it's all God
35:20 forsaken right
35:22 love love.
35:27 So I won't hesitate
35:31 to
35:36 don't know the words that I'm your
35:54 god. Sorry to torture you with that.
35:56 Sometimes I just like to, you know, jam
35:58 around on I just like to jam. I like to
36:00 jam. It's a jam. It's a jam. Sit in a
36:02 hot tub with a guitar and just jam, you
36:05 know, jam. I like I like strawberry jam.
36:08 I I like Why don't they have grape jam?
36:10 They got grape jelly, but they got
36:12 strawberry jam. I like to jam, you know.
36:16 But I want a grape jam. All right, I'm
36:18 going to try this one more time and then
36:20 we're going to go play midjourney alpha.
36:23 Yeah, your midjourney's so beta. Oh, no.
36:26 I've got I've got alpha midjourney.
36:30 My midjourney goes so hard. It's alpha.
36:42 H Vicki still gets watermarks. I had to
36:45 spend two hours today fixing API API
36:48 errors in NAN. Yeah. You know what's
36:50 funny, Vicki? You're having weirdness
36:52 with Nano Banana. What's up, Kyle
36:55 Shannon? It's been a long time since
36:58 I've sat on one of your lives. We should
37:00 catch up and all. What's happening, man?
37:02 Good to see you. Also, Jam Rules. Jam is
37:04 the best. Jam is the best. See, listen.
37:08 I'm a strawberry jam guy. I I like the
37:10 texture of it. And by the way, it's GIF.
37:14 If any of you out there are Skippy
37:16 people, we have a real [ __ ]
37:18 situation. Okay? And don't even get me
37:21 started on natural nut butter, people,
37:24 okay? It's GIF. That's it. That's the
37:28 story. I I'll give you natural GIF. If
37:31 you want to go natural GIF, I've tried
37:34 to go there to eat a little bit of
37:35 better. Go natural. I don't think
37:37 there's anything natural about it. It
37:39 still tastes good and it doesn't
37:40 separate.
37:42 But that's I just you just need to know
37:45 where you stand in my world. Okay? If
37:49 you're one of those Skippy people,
37:51 creamy. Creamy.
37:55 Okay, here's the one exception to
37:57 creamy.
37:58 If it's sandwiches, it's creamy because
38:01 you cannot spread crunchy on bread
38:03 without shredding the bread. And it it
38:06 it makes you want to do bad things to
38:10 small animals, right? So, you don't want
38:13 to shred your bread. So, you can't have
38:14 crunchy. The exception to crunchy is if
38:17 you're going to take the jar of peanut
38:18 butter and sit in front of the TV with
38:20 the jar of jam where you take the jam,
38:24 throw a spoonful of it into the peanut
38:26 butter jar, and then scoop it out and
38:28 eat it. I'll give you crunchy there.
38:31 Crunchy can work there. Crunchy can work
38:33 there.
38:35 You You don't have bread, right? You
38:36 just have the jar and a spoon. So, you
38:38 need a little something to do with the
38:39 jaws, right?
38:41 So anyway, Goobers is chaotic evil.
38:46 Goobers. Goobers was pretty bad, but it
38:48 was a good idea. It was a good idea at
38:50 the time. Okay. Oh my god, that sounds
38:52 amazing. Okay, so it's GIF. It's jam.
38:56 Oh, and and then here's the thing about
38:57 jam is we've also got preserves. You got
39:02 jelly, right? And jelly is jelly. Jelly
39:04 just jelly doesn't spread. There's a
39:06 whole bunch there's lots of reasons why
39:07 you don't have jelly, but then you've
39:09 got preserves. And so the misses, she's
39:12 into raspberry preserves, and I I gotta
39:15 tell you, I'm a strawberry jam guy, but
39:18 I'll do I'll do the raspberry preserves.
39:21 I think it's pretty good. It's pretty
39:22 solid, but GIF only. Okay. All right.
39:25 That's important. I'm glad we got that
39:26 out of the way. There's There's an app
39:28 idea in here somewhere. There is. You
39:30 know what? This could Okay. Okay. You
39:34 know how Gary Vee always talks about,
39:36 you know, start yourself a Tik Tok
39:38 channel if you're really into peanut
39:40 butter and jelly, right? You could start
39:41 a Tik Tok channel on it and become, you
39:43 know, there there's the tinfish guy. You
39:45 could be the peanut butter and jelly
39:46 guy, right? Um,
39:49 this could absolutely be an app. I mean,
39:51 the thing that the thing that Side
39:53 Hustle Mimi just did with the Puerto
39:55 Rican frog stickers and and like this
39:58 spreading joy kind of app, like it's
40:00 this small idea that could absolutely
40:02 catch on. So, so could your peanut
40:04 butter and jelly, you know, pairing your
40:07 your pairing calculator for peanut
40:10 butter and jelly. Like, and you could
40:12 put all sorts of fun messages in there.
40:13 If they choose Skippy as their favorite
40:15 is their favorite peanut butter, you
40:17 could mock them, right, appropriately.
40:20 Like, it wouldn't be it wouldn't be
40:21 considered bullying or harassment. It
40:23 would just be like that. Yeah, you're
40:24 just stating fact that that person is
40:27 less than, right? Because they're like
40:29 Skippy. Skippy, come on. All right,
40:37 this is the absolute correct live for me
40:40 to return to the AI salon.
40:46 Oh, good lord. All right. Well, I guess
40:49 I'm never using Hedra again because it
40:50 just doesn't work. And I I have a
40:52 feeling I have a sneaky feeling
40:55 something's in the wrong format.
40:58 Let's go do a little experiment. Um,
41:02 let me let me share a different way. Let
41:03 me show you something. I'm going to try
41:05 here.
41:07 So, I've gotten I've gotten so many
41:10 API errors
41:14 like nothing went through that that what
41:16 that says to me
41:18 is that they could be [ __ ] up on their
41:20 end. But generally, these services if
41:22 they're [ __ ] up on their end, they
41:23 don't they don't stay that way for more
41:25 than four hours.
41:27 So, the fact that this thing's still
41:28 [ __ ] up kind of says to me one or both
41:31 of these files is [ __ ] with it. So,
41:35 this one is a JPEG. So, let me go
41:47 Sydney Podcast 2.0. I'm going to open
41:50 this in preview. And now I'm going to
41:52 export it as a PNG.
41:57 And you're like, Kyle, why why would
41:59 that make a difference? I don't know.
42:01 It's just one of the things I've learned
42:02 in 60 years of life
42:05 is that um
42:11 [ __ ] that should make sense doesn't.
42:16 And you just recognize patterns. And
42:18 like one of the patterns I recognize is
42:21 if something's [ __ ] up for so long
42:23 there there there's something you've
42:25 done. There's a user there there's a bug
42:27 but it's it's masked as a user error
42:30 that if you change your user ways it
42:32 might fix their bug.
42:35 Okay. So let's go. So that's now um
42:41 that's now a PNG. So, let's go back to
42:44 Hedra
42:45 and add the character image in
42:53 shanky danky danky dank dank dank. PNG.
42:57 Here we go.
42:59 All right. Boom.
43:06 No, something's [ __ ] up on their side.
43:10 How long is is I think Hedra has an 8
43:14 minute
43:17 an 8 minute uh
43:22 time limit and I'm at 440 so I'm fine.
43:26 All right, whatever. Okay. So, what
43:29 we're going to do here,
43:37 I don't I'm trying to figure out how I
43:38 want to do this.
43:43 So, where I've gone, if you if you are a
43:46 Midjourney subscriber,
43:50 there is now a new
43:53 Midjourney alpha. So, we'll put the the
43:56 new one to the right.
44:01 So, we're going to go to explore. Oh, I
44:02 like that style. Let me try that.
44:09 Let me do this. Let me do
44:13 Let's do um playing card
44:18 featuring
44:21 a
44:23 Resto
44:27 Mod muscle car.
44:31 Oh my god, he's still talking about
44:33 Resto Mod muscle cars. What? He's What
44:35 is he? 17. He thinks he's 17.
44:39 Mhm.
44:41 All right.
44:44 Okay. So, first thing we're going to do
44:46 is we're going to look at what are the
44:48 differences
44:49 in the interface. So, on the left is the
44:53 standard interf or the current interface
44:55 and on the right is
44:58 the alpha. And so,
45:01 it looks like we've got oh, that's a bug
45:04 tracker. So, if you go to the bottom
45:06 here, there's night mode, notifications,
45:09 and help. There's night mode,
45:11 notifications, and help. And a bug black
45:14 bar. Thank you.
45:29 Oh, wait a minute. Let me see something
45:33 here.
45:51 Why is this not
45:54 Why does this Oh, there we go. That's
45:56 Oh, I see.
45:59 No.
46:08 Okay. Uh they're they're the same. I
46:10 thought I thought their interfaces were
46:11 different, but they're not. They're the
46:13 same.
46:14 Okay.
46:22 Okay. So, across the top interfaces are
46:24 the same. If I go to
46:27 add images,
46:30 let's see if any of this changed. So,
46:32 that's what it looks like there. If I go
46:34 here,
46:36 that looks the same.
46:38 Okay. So, first thing I notice is
46:42 there's the create
46:46 button here is different. I don't know
46:48 why I'm doing a deep
46:51 UX dive right now, but I don't think the
46:54 changes are all that significant.
46:57 Um, there's a sty a new style maker
46:59 here. Let's see. Edit. Edit looks
47:03 primarily the same.
47:07 organize looks kind of the same.
47:17 Yeah.
47:24 Yeah, that all looks the same.
47:27 Personalize.
47:30 Personalize.
47:34 Looks the same.
47:37 All right. Mood boards.
47:41 Mood boards. Mood boards.
47:45 Those look the same.
47:50 Here's the style creator, which if you
47:52 haven't used the style creator, it's
47:54 pretty cool. I I I don't quite know how
47:56 to use it yet.
47:58 Style creator.
48:01 Oh, this is because I'm in the middle of
48:02 one right now, right?
48:17 and then there's chat.
48:19 There's chat. All right. I don't I don't
48:22 see all the differences. I I have a
48:24 feeling it's just in things like nested
48:26 menus and things like that. So, you
48:29 don't have to worry about it. Image bars
48:30 are now
48:33 Image bars are now sidebars
48:37 in the drop-down settings.
48:40 Where are the drop- down settings?
48:49 Can you use alpha with your Yeah. Oh, by
48:51 the way, to get to alpha, you just go to
48:52 alpha.midjourney.com.
49:02 Rank style guide rank images
49:05 earn fast hours. Oh, I didn't know this.
49:07 Did you know that
49:10 if you go to if you go to the little
49:12 thumb at the bottom,
49:15 you can go rank things for midjourney
49:17 and they'll give you fast hours credits,
49:20 which is cool.
49:25 All right, let's go rank videos. We'll
49:27 go rank videos. We'll go give ourselves
49:28 some hours.
49:31 All right. I don't like either of those.
49:33 So 3D pixel 3D Pixar style. Neither of
49:36 those are 3D Pixar style. So I'm going
49:37 to hit three. So the way you do these
49:40 rankings is on your numeric keypad. If
49:43 you hit one, you pick the top one. If
49:45 you hit two, you pick the bottom one or
49:46 the left one or the right one. Um and
49:49 then if you hit three, you're skipping.
49:51 So I'll do two there.
49:54 Um,
49:57 I'll do two there.
50:05 I'm going to do three. I don't like
50:06 either of those. I don't like either of
50:08 those.
50:19 God, some of the human behavior on these
50:21 things is so [ __ ] weird.
50:46 Skip that. Those are horrible. one.
50:55 Is that Vladimir Putin fencing
51:02 one? All right. Anyway, I'm bored with
51:04 that. So, you can go do that.
51:08 I don't know how many more eight
51:09 rankings this session. I got through
51:11 eight before I got bored. Google gut
51:15 check. Nah, I'm not going to do that. I
51:17 forget how to do it and it's it's not
51:19 all that visual. Um,
51:24 let's see.
51:29 Well, it's so easy.
51:33 Um, what's what's disco? Is disco
51:36 Disco's coming out or it's out?
51:42 Oh, wait list only. All right, let's go
51:45 look for that.
51:47 Google. It's Google, right?
51:57 December 11th. New experiment from
51:59 Google Labs. Oh, I know. I know what I
52:01 wanted to go try is just let's go to
52:04 Google Labs and just play with some of
52:05 the tools and see if there's anything
52:07 good there.
52:09 Disco is a new experiment from Google
52:11 Labs designed to reimagine browsing and
52:14 building modern web. Oh, that's right.
52:17 This thing will find you a bunch of
52:19 sites and then you multi select them and
52:22 it turns it into a new site based on
52:24 those. Isn't that right? Isn't that what
52:25 this does?
52:29 We've all felt the frustration of
52:31 juggling dozens of open tabs.
52:34 Not not judging by the amount of people
52:36 that complain about the number of tabs I
52:39 have open. I feel like most of the world
52:41 is not juggling dozens of tabs. I think
52:44 this is a product that was made for me.
52:46 Um, when working on a complex task or
52:49 just living your ADHD best, um, like
52:53 researching a topic or planning a trip,
52:55 Gen Tabs proactively understands your
52:58 complex tasks through your open tabs and
53:02 chat history and creates interactive web
53:05 applications that help you complete
53:07 them.
53:08 Just describe the tool that you need and
53:10 refine it. That's kind of cool. All
53:13 right, let's go to Google Labs.
53:15 Labs.google Google, if you want to play
53:16 along, you Hey, if you kids want to play
53:19 along, we're gonna We're gonna go over
53:22 We're gonna go over to the Google Labs.
53:24 We're gonna Hey, Marge. Marge. March.
53:28 Hey, March.
53:29 March.
53:32 She's watching the wheel.
53:35 Hey, March.
53:37 Yeah. No, I know. We were going to go to
53:40 that Google. You don't care. Oh, no.
53:42 Okay. No, I just figured you might want
53:44 if you wanted to see the because I just
53:46 might need just just click on on just
53:50 log in. Okay. No, that's good. That's
53:52 good. She Marge is great. She's great.
53:54 She loves this computer stuff. She's
53:56 good at it. I'm not as good. All right.
54:04 Learn your way. Doppel.
54:07 Doppel's a new app from Labs that lets
54:10 you try on any look. Here's the
54:14 experiments.
54:16 Create, develop,
54:18 explore. Have you all been to Google
54:20 Labs? It's It's not
54:23 Actually, I'll tell you what Google Labs
54:25 is good for. Here's what it's good for.
54:27 Let me jump over to AI the salon.
54:31 I'm going to jump to the AION. And if I
54:33 I'm going to go to the welcome tab of
54:34 the AI salon. And there's a nice little
54:36 welcome video there. And then there's
54:38 this graphic.
54:41 Play first, create excellence,
54:43 generously lead. This play first is
54:46 really, really, really, really
54:48 important. The more I experience in this
54:52 AI world, the more Wait, I used to limit
54:56 myself to five tabs. You've infected my
54:59 brain, Kyle.
55:07 Um, Google Labs is one of those things
55:10 to to go play at and just the idea of
55:14 playing uh in in in this context is um
55:20 to go work with AI with zero
55:22 expectations. So, if you go to if you go
55:24 to a site like Google Labs
55:27 with zero expectation,
55:29 then you know, it doesn't matter if this
55:33 stuff's good or bad. But what you may
55:34 discover is, oh, there's something
55:36 actually really interesting here.
55:38 Explore archival photography from the
55:40 Harley-Davidson Museum,
55:43 brought to life with the help of video
55:45 by Gemini or VO and Gemini. Try it now.
55:49 This is cool.
55:54 Launch the experiment.
55:57 Moving archives. Harley-Davidson Museum.
56:02 You want to see something cool? Do I
56:04 know where it is? Yes.
56:10 Actually,
56:12 I can show you. I can show you something
56:14 really cool.
56:16 I got to get a
56:24 Yeah, that's good.
56:30 Okay.
56:33 Um,
56:42 so we're going to look at archives. So
56:45 about a year ago, I love I love like
56:47 garage sailing and yard sailing. And so
56:50 like a year ago, I found this this box
56:54 and it's just like a and you know, like
56:55 a 4x5
56:57 file recipe box and I open it up and it
57:02 is full of
57:04 4x5 negatives
57:10 and
57:19 Let me see if I can if you can see it.
57:22 See like the the people there. They're
57:24 from like the 1930s or maybe 40s. I
57:27 think it's the 30s.
57:29 And
57:31 they're like really good photographs.
57:34 And so
57:36 I haven't done [ __ ] with them, but I
57:38 thought, wouldn't it be cool to scan
57:41 them all?
57:42 And now that we've got all this. Yeah.
57:45 May of May of 37
57:47 is what this one tag says.
57:51 This one card. I love [ __ ] like this.
57:58 Like handwritten.
58:01 Wonder if Nano Banana
58:04 can interpret a negative. Yeah, all you
58:06 have to do is invert it. These are just
58:08 black and white negatives, so they're
58:09 they're really easy to interpret or to
58:11 to invert and things like that. Um,
58:15 anyway, there's like a whole [ __ ]
58:18 story here, right? There's a whole
58:21 story.
58:22 And what what Nano Banana could do is
58:25 probably read all those cards and maybe
58:26 even provide historical context. But
58:29 like that's what this that's what this
58:31 Harley-Davidson thing reminds me of
58:37 where
58:39 there it is. Um this is pretty cool.
58:42 This is pretty cool.
58:45 So where we are is arts
58:46 andculture.google.com.
58:54 So I can slide left and right. Oh yeah.
58:56 Oh, it's just an infinite canvas.
59:02 And then every one of them's been turned
59:03 into a a video.
59:09 It's just it's just amazing. I mean,
59:13 documentarians have to be losing their
59:15 [ __ ]
59:17 They're like, "These this isn't the real
59:19 video. This isn't the real video. Th
59:23 this it's hallucinating."
59:26 So, you got to go to the Harley-Davidson
59:28 Museum in Milwaukee. It's so cool. I bet
59:30 it is. I bet that's amazing. Um,
59:35 let me see if I've got I don't have my
59:38 photos open. Let me see. I actually
59:41 scanned some of those some of those
59:43 other photos.
59:47 Um, can I look up black and white
59:50 BW?
59:54 No. Uh, those have names in them.
59:59 Let's see.
1:00:02 Black
1:00:08 this champ.
1:00:25 You all can see this, right?
1:00:38 Hang on. You're going to get a little
1:00:39 seasick here.
1:00:48 Yeah,
1:00:50 it's all fun in games.
1:01:13 If I can find these images, it might be
1:01:15 cool to go make some videos of them is
1:01:17 what I was thinking.
1:01:25 and like nano banana them into
1:01:30 into color.
1:01:33 Do you remember do you remember um
1:01:38 like the first time when they started
1:01:41 using AI to colorize black and white
1:01:44 photos? I think Jim Cameron was was part
1:01:47 of the part of the early
1:01:50 days of that. And
1:01:54 I always remember just thinking like,
1:01:56 how do they how does that work?
1:02:00 And and now I get it, but it was so like
1:02:03 magical and mysterious. It always was
1:02:06 weird. It was like it didn't quite have
1:02:07 the right colors. You're like, "Well,
1:02:09 can't they just make them better?" And
1:02:12 now you can just ask for [ __ ] and it
1:02:14 just makes them. It's amazing.
1:02:17 All right. Now we're getting back into
1:02:18 some oldtimey
1:02:21 AI salon graphics. Oh, look at this.
1:02:27 To join the AI salon, there's a little
1:02:30 design of of something or other.
1:02:34 Early early AI salon design stuff. Look,
1:02:36 here's our first anniversary hoodie.
1:02:48 Shang.
1:02:58 Uh, starting to get bored. Not as bored
1:03:01 as we are. Kyle,
1:03:10 I'm here for you people. I really am.
1:03:25 The reason I'm doing this is
1:03:29 it's kind of like the side hustle mimi
1:03:31 thing. I'm like there's all these little
1:03:33 projects you can just do now
1:03:36 that you didn't you it what you didn't
1:03:39 this didn't used to be possible. Tik Tok
1:03:41 pin.
1:03:44 I see he doesn't just hoard tabs. Oh,
1:03:46 I'm a total I am a total digital
1:03:48 hoarder. I will absolutely admit that.
1:03:50 I'm a proud digital hoarder. And you
1:03:51 know what? I'll tell you what. I'll tell
1:03:53 you what. I will tell you what,
1:03:58 us digital hoarders, I've got boxes
1:04:01 around me. There's a there's a suitcase
1:04:03 right there full of old hard drives.
1:04:06 I'll tell you what, now that we have AI,
1:04:09 you can actually make sense of all that
1:04:10 old [ __ ] You can go take I I did this.
1:04:14 I had an old screenplay that was in some
1:04:17 file format. I didn't know what it was.
1:04:19 And it was not openable. It was just
1:04:20 like a document. And you opened it and
1:04:22 it was garbage. I opened that [ __ ] in
1:04:26 chat GPT and I said, "What is this?" I
1:04:28 said, "Oh, that's a mariner file from
1:04:30 whenever the [ __ ] And here's all the
1:04:32 data from it." It's like, yes. So, so
1:04:36 there you you people with your good data
1:04:40 hygiene,
1:04:41 you're you're so pompous and full of
1:04:44 yourselves. Oh, I back everything up in
1:04:47 triplicate.
1:04:49 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
1:04:53 You know, there's other of us out here.
1:04:55 Our brains just don't work like that.
1:05:01 I can't find these pictures. is driving
1:05:03 me a little crazy.
1:05:08 And I'm whiny, too.
1:05:17 All right. Well,
1:05:20 it couldn't have been before Kyle
1:05:21 Shannon Dreams is when I bought that
1:05:24 box. Maybe it was.
1:05:29 These are my Kyle Shannon Dreams images.
1:05:33 So, we're back in fall of 22 now.
1:05:39 What did you What What did you do last
1:05:41 night, Jim? Uh, I don't want to talk
1:05:43 about it. Why not? Uh, I just watched an
1:05:48 old guy scroll through his photographs
1:05:50 for an hour. Really? Yeah. Why? I don't
1:05:56 know. It It wasn't good. It I got to
1:06:01 stop. Well, why don't you just not go
1:06:03 back there? I I can't. I'm an irregular.
1:06:13 I'm sorry for your lives. I really am. I
1:06:16 It's got to be rough.
1:06:19 It's It's got to be rough. All right, I
1:06:22 can't find them. And you know, this is
1:06:24 one of those things. Of course, it's one
1:06:26 of those things. All right, I can't find
1:06:27 them. And then I'll find then I'll find
1:06:29 them right as I'm ready to quit, right?
1:06:32 Uh, oh, maybe I can do this. Bridge.
1:06:36 Bridge.
1:06:39 One of the pictures is people standing
1:06:41 in front of a bridge. Nope.
1:06:44 Uh, let's do old.
1:06:51 No.
1:06:54 Let's do
1:06:57 black and white. That way. No.
1:07:01 Let's do
1:07:04 30s. No,
1:07:09 I don't know. All right.
1:07:12 And you said my thing didn't demo well.
1:07:19 All right. Fine. Whatever.
1:07:22 I guess Harley-Davidson photographs are
1:07:24 cool enough.
1:07:27 But these are this is very much what
1:07:28 they look like. They're very much these
1:07:29 kind of photos.
1:07:58 That one's cool.
1:08:06 All right, let's get out of here.
1:08:10 Exit.
1:08:12 Harley-Davidson archives. Historical
1:08:15 photographs.
1:08:18 Explore. Play. All right, that's cool.
1:08:20 Google arts and culture. What do you
1:08:23 want to explore? Art, games,
1:08:26 museums, places.
1:08:30 I want to go back to labs.
1:08:36 Here we go. Let's go to create.
1:08:40 Hat tip to Danielle who pointed this out
1:08:42 like a year ago. Yeah, I know. No, this
1:08:45 is Well, I like Google Labs is one of
1:08:48 those things where
1:08:50 I occasionally come here and the things
1:08:53 used to be not great, but they're
1:08:56 getting better and there's more of them.
1:09:02 See more.
1:09:05 All right, let's see what we got. We got
1:09:06 Doppel. Doppel is the experimental app
1:09:09 that lets you discover, try on, and shop
1:09:12 for personal looks.
1:09:15 Learn more. Oh, it's an app.
1:09:19 Oh, I think I downloaded it and then I
1:09:21 Oh, okay. Here's here's a here's an old
1:09:25 guy problem.
1:09:28 I couldn't find my Bluetooth clicker.
1:09:31 And so what you have to do with Doppel
1:09:33 is you take a full body picture of
1:09:34 yourself. But how do you take a full
1:09:36 body picture of yourself? because you're
1:09:37 if you're far enough away from the
1:09:39 camera, you can't click the thing. And I
1:09:42 know I could do a 3 second timer and but
1:09:45 anyway, it was was a it was a problem.
1:09:48 Tik Tok pin side hustle Mimi. Kyle, did
1:09:51 you Wait, did you think
1:09:55 you can do war with animated pictures? I
1:09:58 don't know what you mean, Daniel or
1:10:00 Daniel.
1:10:02 Did you think you can do war animated
1:10:06 pictures
1:10:09 like yourso music video of the Civil
1:10:12 War?
1:10:14 Yeah, I've got I've got a
1:10:20 um what's it called? Something of gray
1:10:22 and blue. Echoes of gray and blue.
1:10:25 Um,
1:10:29 profile
1:10:31 media.
1:10:45 I mean, generating the images might be
1:10:47 an issue, but if you have images, I
1:10:49 think you can animate them. I don't get
1:10:51 a lot of resistance from these things
1:10:53 animating them.
1:11:01 Man, I've made a lot of [ __ ]
1:11:06 Wait, can I just do videos?
1:11:11 Can I filter media likes?
1:11:16 I guess not. That sucks.
1:11:20 So, so he's scrolling through another
1:11:22 library
1:11:23 of video videos and pictures.
1:11:28 How was AI learning lab last night? I
1:11:30 missed it. Uh, no, it was a good call.
1:11:38 There it is. Is that it?
1:11:46 So, those are the individual images.
1:11:52 This is the video.
1:11:57 Hang on. Let me
1:12:00 let me share my Let me share my screen
1:12:02 different so you can hear it.
1:12:31 The morning sun was rising, lighting up
1:12:35 that battlefield
1:12:38 where brothers once stood side by side
1:12:41 till their fates were seen. field.
1:12:44 Johnny left his father's rifle, set his
1:12:48 sights on Tennessee,
1:12:51 trying to find the meaning of what
1:12:55 freedom used to be.
1:13:00 Shadows of the gray and blue drifting on
1:13:04 the breeze.
1:13:06 Heroes lost to endless time. Did we
1:13:10 learn what they believe? From bull run
1:13:14 down to Shiloh, they gave all they had
1:13:17 to give.
1:13:19 Shadows of the gray and blue. Do we know
1:13:24 how to live
1:13:32 Mary?
1:13:34 So anyway,
1:13:37 >> yeah, you can do I mean they weren't in
1:13:40 battle there, but you know,
1:13:47 check the purple sticky
1:13:50 PBJ Oracle. Oh no.
1:13:58 Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh, that Brandon. That
1:14:04 Brandon. He's always up to something.
1:14:09 So, if if you're if you if you're here
1:14:11 in the past 10 minutes and you survived
1:14:14 me scrolling my uh
1:14:18 you survived me scrolling my photo
1:14:20 library for 15 minutes. Um, you're
1:14:24 you're you're being
1:14:27 you're being gifted with uh start
1:14:29 guessing and start spreading. We pair
1:14:31 peanut butter and jelly like a simole
1:14:34 pairs wines only stickier and
1:14:36 significantly more delicious. Find my
1:14:39 PBJ destiny. Okay, this is good. This is
1:14:42 solid. Creamy. We go creamy. Um, what's
1:14:46 your what's your brand energy? It's It's
1:14:48 GIF. If I I swear to God if if anyone
1:14:51 picks a different button here, you're
1:14:54 just
1:14:57 Okay. How sweet should this get? I'm
1:15:00 going to go balance because I'm older. I
1:15:01 used to be all I'm going to go jam
1:15:05 and I'm going to go strawberry.
1:15:08 Lunchroom classic. Oh, this is great.
1:15:10 Lunch room classic. Farmers Market
1:15:13 Philosopher. I'm a five. Where are you
1:15:16 on the nostalgia spectrum? That's great.
1:15:20 Oh. Oh, I see. I'm going to go lunchroom
1:15:23 classic. I I'll go three. Okay. Next.
1:15:26 Um, what's your chaos tolerance?
1:15:29 Uh, put it on the waffle iron. I'm going
1:15:31 to go four. Little conservative.
1:15:34 Um, do you toast? Never. Who are you
1:15:37 [ __ ] heathens? Anyone? Are you
1:15:40 toasting your bread for a PB&J? Who does
1:15:44 that?
1:15:46 Is this an Ohio thing?
1:15:48 Brandon,
1:15:50 reveal my destiny. This is great. The
1:15:53 Oracle has spoken. Nope. Okay.
1:15:56 Your signature spread, GIF classic,
1:15:58 strawberry jam on sourdough spread
1:16:01 technique. The swirl 5050. That's about
1:16:04 right. 65% nostalgia, 70% texture, 70%
1:16:09 sweetness, 17% chaos. I'm the comfort
1:16:12 curator. Your sandwich chooses to
1:16:16 prioritize emotional well-being above
1:16:19 all else. That's correct. You understand
1:16:22 PBJ is not just a food. It's a hug in
1:16:25 bread form.
1:16:29 This is quite good. This is really good.
1:16:36 Oh my god. Goober's Lab.
1:16:40 Where sandwich science meets beautiful
1:16:42 chaos. Generate wild combinations. Oh,
1:16:44 this is great.
1:16:46 Swirl again.
1:16:49 Grandma's cabinet. Vintage fine crunchy.
1:16:53 Oh, this is hilarious. All natural stir.
1:16:56 No. Skippy classic. No.
1:17:01 Orange marmalade and potato chips. This
1:17:04 was a zero zero shot lovable app. There
1:17:06 you go. And if you don't know what that
1:17:10 just meant, those those words I just
1:17:12 said like they meant something. This was
1:17:15 a zero shot lovable app. So there's
1:17:18 this, if you don't know, if you haven't
1:17:20 heard the term vibe coding,
1:17:23 that's when you go to a tool like
1:17:25 lovable, which I'll talk about in a
1:17:27 second, and you literally just ask it to
1:17:29 make you an application. And zero shot
1:17:32 means basically on the first try, this
1:17:36 was the output of of the lovable prompt.
1:17:39 I don't know what prompt Brandon put in
1:17:41 there, but he probably described some
1:17:42 stuff. Maybe he went to chat GPT to get
1:17:45 a bunch of peanut butter brands. Um,
1:17:49 lovable.dev
1:17:51 is the site where if you go to it, you
1:17:53 can just put it in chat mode and ex, you
1:17:55 know, bounce ideas around. And then when
1:17:57 you have something you like, you say,
1:17:59 you take it out of chat mode and just
1:18:00 say, "Go build that thing." And it goes
1:18:03 and does stuff like this. Just built
1:18:06 this application. In the time it took me
1:18:08 to scroll through my my photo library,
1:18:12 he had built a joke app from earlier in
1:18:15 the conversation.
1:18:17 I love that this is the the world we
1:18:19 live in these days. It's crazy to me.
1:18:23 Really do.
1:18:26 All right.
1:18:31 Oh, okay. So, I'm gonna take you one
1:18:33 other place. So, if you're in the AI
1:18:35 salon, please go to the AI salon
1:18:38 and go to um under play and create
1:18:42 there's challenges and competitions.
1:18:45 And in here is Salons's Got Talent
1:18:49 voting. Oh, wait. I'm not sharing.
1:18:52 Now I am. Okay. So, down the left hand
1:18:55 side, you're going to scroll down to
1:18:57 play and create and then click
1:18:58 challenges and competitions.
1:19:01 And then there's a video here that
1:19:02 Brandon's got for how to vote. And
1:19:05 basically, you're just putting emojis by
1:19:08 the pieces that you like. Okay.
1:19:12 All right. And that explains how to do
1:19:13 it there. So, go vote. How long do they
1:19:15 have to vote?
1:19:20 End of day tomorrow. So, please go vote

1:19:28 then the winner gets a full year of
1:19:31 mastermind
1:19:33 uh mastermind action.
1:19:36 All right. And so you ask what's the
1:19:39 mastermind? So in the AI salon, so if
1:19:40 you join the AI salon, it's free to
1:19:42 join. We've got this thing called
1:19:45 mastermind,
1:19:46 which is the subscription area. And the
1:19:48 the primary thing that we're we're
1:19:50 working on right now is this thing
1:19:52 called the AI salon mastermind practice
1:19:55 lab. So we've designed a framework for a
1:19:58 daily practice using AI where you put
1:20:00 yourself front and center. So rather
1:20:02 than thinking of AI as like this thing
1:20:04 we compete against. The idea of the
1:20:06 practice lab is that we've designed a
1:20:10 practice framework
1:20:12 um that talks about everything from how
1:20:13 do you learn to how do you be curious
1:20:15 and adaptable to how do you raise your
1:20:17 game and be more professional and how do
1:20:19 you do that on a as a regular ongoing
1:20:22 practice.
1:20:23 and um we meet weekly and go through
1:20:27 this uh this framework and it's really
1:20:30 quite remarkable. It's changed it's
1:20:32 changed my life in a lot of ways already
1:20:33 and we're only on week five or six. I
1:20:35 think we've just entered week six. Um so
1:20:37 anyway, so please go go join that. Um
1:20:40 I've got to stop sharing because it lost
1:20:42 connection to audio.
1:20:52 Okay.
1:20:54 Anyway,
1:20:57 um do we want to go back to Google Labs
1:20:59 for a second? Let's go look.
1:21:07 Paul Melly is an experiment. AI powered
1:21:10 marketing. Oh, wait. I'm not sharing.
1:21:23 Okay.
1:21:25 Homelly.
1:21:28 Oops.
1:21:34 Is experimental AI powered marketing
1:21:37 tool designed to build scalable onbrand
1:21:41 content to help you connect with your
1:21:43 audience.
1:21:45 Let's get started.
1:21:48 things you need to know. Okay, whatever.
1:21:50 You own everything. Fine. Describe the
1:21:53 content you want to create.
1:21:56 Um,
1:21:59 I want to market
1:22:03 my
1:22:05 um
1:22:07 tab. Am I not sharing?
1:22:11 It was
1:22:22 Who's the company behind Rabbit again?
1:22:26 Rabbit R1. I want to market my Rabbit R1
1:22:34 as a um
1:22:37 shelf decoration.
1:22:45 Teenage Engineering. Yeah. Well, Teenage
1:22:48 Engineering did the did the design of
1:22:50 it. There's the Rabbit R1. It really is
1:22:53 an elegantly designed little piece. Um,
1:23:01 video production done in minutes. Wait,
1:23:03 what?
1:23:34 It's somehow got
1:23:38 story vine locked into it as
1:23:41 I think I did a story vine experiment
1:23:44 over here.
1:23:45 Worry-free pharma storytelling. Do I
1:23:48 need to make a new one? Maybe
1:23:53 campaigns.
1:24:01 All right. Well, that's a fail cuz it
1:24:03 didn't start. I don't have a I don't
1:24:05 have the ability to make a new a new
1:24:08 project. So, that's a fail. Fine. I'm
1:24:10 sure it's cool.
1:24:12 Mixboard. Mixboard's an experimental
1:24:15 concepting board. That's pretty cool. I
1:24:16 played with that music AI sandbox.
1:24:21 Lost your screen. Oh boy.
1:24:24 Yeah boy. Oh boy.
1:24:28 I'll tell you what, boy. I'll tell you
1:24:31 what.
1:24:33 Flow. That's the new film making tool.
1:24:35 Sparkify.
1:24:37 Explore short videos created
1:24:40 with the latest Google AI innovations.
1:24:46 Explore short videos. No, I want to make
1:24:50 short videos. Whisk.
1:24:53 New kind of tools that let you use
1:24:54 images as prompts. Yeah, that was okay.
1:24:56 I played with that. Video effects is
1:24:58 okay. Image FX is pretty cool.
1:25:03 Ask Photos.
1:25:05 All right, these are all kind of low
1:25:06 level. The cool thing about Google Labs,
1:25:09 this is where Notebook LM started. So,
1:25:11 some of these things are going to end up
1:25:12 being pretty slick little things.
1:25:18 There's disco. Learn more. Join the
1:25:21 weight list.
1:25:27 I sleepy.
1:25:36 Lost you.
1:25:40 Oh.
1:26:17 He is

1:26:48 currently work in any of the following
1:26:50 industries? Tech. We'll do none of the
1:26:53 above just because that's probably what
1:26:55 that's about. What statement best
1:26:57 describes your attitude to toward new
1:26:59 tools early adopter?
1:27:02 What are your favorite one one to two

1:27:14 Banana
1:27:20 Pro
1:27:23 V3.1.
1:27:26 Uh, what are you most excited about for
1:27:28 the future of AI in the web? Text to 3D
1:27:32 worlds. Would
1:27:36 you like to join our community of
1:27:38 individuals? Sure,
1:27:42 I understand. I've given you all my data
1:27:44 and I'll give you even more.
1:27:47 I agree to these key conditions.
1:27:50 Fine.
1:27:52 05.
1:27:54 I'm old.
1:27:58 65, baby. All right. Today's date, not
1:28:02 your birthday, but okay.
1:28:04 >> Oh, well, whatever.
1:28:09 What are you gonna do?
1:28:12 All right, let's let's call it. Let's
1:28:16 call it. I'm getting loopy.
1:28:18 I don't have anything good to do. Um,
1:28:21 anybody have any questions or thoughts
1:28:23 about anything going on right now?
1:28:25 >> I've got the uh Gemini fact check thing
1:28:28 pulled up. Um,
1:28:30 >> you wanna you want to demo it?
1:28:31 >> Yeah.
1:28:32 >> Yeah. So, let me uh go ahead and get my
1:28:35 screen share going. So, this is
1:28:36 something that's hidden in
1:28:37 gemin.google.com.
1:28:42 >> And so, what it is,
1:28:44 >> can you do plus on your screen so it
1:28:47 gets
1:28:47 >> Yeah.
1:28:48 >> gets bigger.
1:28:49 >> Anytime you're doing anything in um any
1:28:53 searches in Gemini, so I just did what's
1:28:55 new in AI. Gave me a whole bunch of
1:28:57 stuff. I clicked on these three dots and
1:28:59 I said double check response. So
1:29:01 normally when you can export to docs,
1:29:03 you can debug, you can choose your
1:29:05 model. They have a new one here that
1:29:06 says double check response. And when you
1:29:08 do that, it actually does a Google
1:29:10 search on all the information it gave
1:29:12 you and then it gives you the little
1:29:13 chips that you can click on and it'll
1:29:15 give you sources of where it found that
1:29:18 piece of information. So you can
1:29:20 >> It doesn't like green if they're correct
1:29:23 and then red if they're not.
1:29:24 >> Yep.
1:29:25 >> That's great. That's what what's really
1:29:28 smart about that, Brandon, is
1:29:31 like not only is that a a tool that is
1:29:33 valuable for you to use if you're doing
1:29:35 research, but like every time you run
1:29:38 one of these, that's adding to their
1:29:39 training set. So, right. So, like
1:29:42 they're getting better at doing stuff
1:29:43 that where the sources are correct.
1:29:46 That's pretty smart.
1:29:49 >> Love it. All right. Beautiful. Um, I'm
1:29:52 going to get out of here. So, again,
1:29:53 aifestivist.com.
1:29:55 You've got basically two weeks. It's
1:29:57 next, not this Friday and Saturday, but
1:29:59 it's the following Friday and Saturday.
1:30:01 12 hours each day for free. Invite
1:30:04 anyone you know. All right. Um, I'm out
1:30:07 of here. Tomorrow's Tuesday. It'll be
1:30:09 normal time, normal place. Uh,
1:30:13 yeah.
1:30:15 I don't think we're going to see
1:30:17 anything major before the end of the
1:30:18 year, but you never know.
1:30:21 Um, we might. We might. We got chat GPT
1:30:24 5.2, which is a bit of a yawn, but um
1:30:27 I'm sure some people are excited about
1:30:29 it. I don't give a [ __ ] This was fun.
1:30:32 See you soon. Thank you, Paul. Great to
1:30:34 see you.
1:30:36 Um I I'm glad you came on the peanut
1:30:39 butter and jelly night. That's It's
1:30:40 always an important night. It's an
1:30:41 annual tradition here at the AI Learning
1:30:43 Lab.
1:30:46 I think I'm gonna go have a peanut
1:30:48 butter and jelly sandwich. All right,
1:30:51 see y'all later. Bye.
1:30:56 Oh man. Man alive.
