4/17/2026 - Mapping the History of Generative AI Through Three Years of the AI Learning Lab

Transcript

1. 0:00some football. Don't
2. 0:31Hello. Hello.
3. 0:57Hey,
4. 1:20Hi Champy. What you doing? Good boy. Friday night date night everybody. Friday night date night. What is
5. 1:26happening? We're going to be doing some fun stuff tonight. We are going to be playing with the We're going to be playing with history.
6. 1:36So, some of you may know there's this fella on the planet. His name is Digital Gods. And at some point in his life,
7. 1:55he was lorded. So he's lorded digital gods, which I think is a demotion, quite frankly, right? You're a god and
8. 2:09someone's like, "Now you're a lord." Probably kind of a letown, I would think. Anyway
9. 2:26Oh, cool. So, if you go to community corner in uh in the AI salon, there's actually an
10. 2:41interview with Lord Digital Gods. Anyway, here's the deal. Mr. Gods, he does a lot of work for this channel.
11. 2:54And one of the things he does is he makes the he makes the thumbnails and he makes the descriptions and he's been
12. 3:00geeking out on how to automate that and do all that stuff, but it's still a lot of work and a lot of it's manual because
13. 3:07AI still sucks. And so, he just does this tirelessly. and I can't thank him enough. And what he's created is
14. 3:16documents of like the history of all of the the videos on the channel. So like all the descriptions, the chapters, things like that.
15. 3:27So I asked him to provide that for me and I put it into Notebook LM. And so I've been notebook lmming like the history of of generative AI
16. 3:42um as seen through the lens of you know me rambling for for three years. Um and it's wild. It it it's it's sort of
17. 3:51broken it down into five eras. And so I figured we'd go play with that. So that'll be fun. And it was funny. I was asking um uh
18. 4:05Notebook LM to to do some some clipping for me. It had actually Notebook LM actually recommended GenSpark Clip Genie
19. 4:14said go why don't you go have some other tool do that. What you're asking me is a little much. So, so we'll we'll play with with uh the
20. 4:29Lord Digital Gods document, which is really kind of cool.
21. 4:45Um, and then we're going to go play with um Claude Designer. So, Claude came out with a design tool. which if I were
22. 5:02someone like Figma, I'd be like, "Ah, awesome.
23. 5:21Um uh and it looks pretty slick. You you you can upload you can point it to a GitHub repository. You can point it to a
24. 5:36Figma board. You can upload um brands brand guidelines. Um you can upload logos, things like that. And then you
25. 5:44just start asking it for [ __ ] and it starts building it. And then you can download those things as files that you
26. 5:50can import into other applications that are editable. So I think it's a relatively big deal. But as we discover on this channel,
27. 6:01sometimes these things look good in theory, but are janky and unusable. I have a feeling this one's not going to
28. 6:09be janky and unusable. But you know me, I am willing to I'll call it like it is. If it is janky and unusable.
29. 6:20Sky Timbo. Hey, it's been a while. What's shaking? You and I here all alone. Sunday morning here at Ying Yang. What's
30. 6:36happening? If someone new to AI were only going to buy one subscription, what would you tell them to buy today? Claude.
31. 6:47Well, no, no, no, no, no. I wouldn't one subscription. Well, so here's the thing. What are they trying to do?
32. 7:02Right? If what they're trying to do is code and engineer, I would I would buy Claude. If you want something more
33. 7:09rounded that can be really good at coding, I would go chat GPT because there you've got codeex, but you've also got image generation. So,
34. 7:21I don't know. Hope you've been well. Likewise. Just general use. Imagine a 50-year-old mom. Ah, okay. A 50-year-old
35. 7:28mom. I'm going to turn I'm about to turn 61. That's That's rough on me, Yilong. That's That's rough on That's That's rough on Daddy Kyle.
36. 7:45Uh Chachi PT, it's okay. You didn't make me this old. Like
37. 8:00Oh, no. Wait. She came on here like slow moving cold
38. 8:17front and a look in her eyes.
39. 8:33She sat on a stool and he said, "What do you want?" She said, "Give me a love that don't freeze up inside."
40. 8:51Said, "I have melted some hearts in my time, dear." But to sit next to you, well, I shiver and shake.
41. 9:05And if I knew love, well, I don't think I'd be here. Asking myself if I've got what it takes. I do your icy blue heart.
42. 9:24Should I stop? Turn what's been frozen for you into a river of tears.
43. 9:49Um, chat GPT is what she should spend her 20 hardearned dollars on or whatever denomination. I don't know. Are you in the States?
44. 10:01Um, chat GBT.
45. 10:22Actually, you know what else, Elon? Is uh if she wants to spend an extra little bit, I would say chatt plus suno.
46. 10:37It's 10 bucks a month and you can just make amazing music. And like music just it just it just [ __ ] makes you happy. Music's the best.
47. 10:48So, I would go I would go two subscriptions. Chat PT 20 bucks. Sunno 10 bucks. Simmies in the house.
48. 11:06So, by the way, happy Friday night date night. I hope you have your nachos and your dirty hot pocket. Giving props to Jim Gaffigan.
49. 11:21Your hot pocket should be molten lava hot in the center but frozen around it. So it should be hard to bite into,
50. 11:33risk breaking a tooth and burn your tongue. Okay. I like suno. I use it some when I write. Yeah. Which I don't do much anymore.
51. 11:53Sunno's helped me get through some some major stuff. Yep. My own strapedic soundtrack. That's a cool word. Strapedic. Pedic.
52. 12:12Well, welcome back for everyone. I I love that we're having a little bit of reunion night tonight. People People coming back
53. 12:28in a westerly direction. Oh, therapeutic. I thought I thought you gave me some some new ass word I'd never heard of.
54. 12:41Scare therapeutic was pretty good. It was had all sorts of hes in it, some silent consonants. I liked it. But therapeutic too. Yeah, sure.
55. 12:59Um, yeah. So, yeah, just chat is it's more than you need, but but the paid version of it is what you should be using
56. 13:09and you should explore it. You should be making images with it. The images are really good. You can make signs and
57. 13:14cards and all sorts of crap like that. And then, yeah, make some flipping music.
58. 13:40So, we're going to be playing with Notebook LM tonight. We're going to be mining the history of the AI learning lab and really
59. 13:49the history of of uh generative AI. Oh. >> Um, one of the things that I'm really excited about,
60. 14:04so a couple of things. Okay, when I graduated high school. >> Hey, Kyle, if you ignore the sticky note long enough, I'm going to pop up on
61. 14:15stage. >> I already talked about it. I already talked about that. I already read that one. >> Oh, all right. Well, I need to pay more
62. 14:22attention then. That was pretty good. I like Claude. Also, the political thing uh made me like them more. Um but they're always
63. 14:38down. It feels Here's the thing about Claude being down. Why they were down is is likely why when when OpenAI goes
64. 14:45down, I would say Claude is a is a strong second. Claude Claude's really strong at writing. It's incredibly
65. 14:52strong at coding. I I just think if your mom's going to use it for um for just more general stuff, just chat chat GBT
66. 14:59is a little more accessible. Um but but Claude's not bad. And yeah, if from from a political standpoint, if you don't
67. 15:06like, you know, the fact that Open AI is going with the targeting of humans without human supervision, uh more power
68. 15:13to you. Um recommend Claude. Either one of those two. Um you could also do Gemini. The problem with Gemini is it's still a little
69. 15:23it assumes you've got a level of technical prowess that um it's just not as it's just not as user friendly as the other two.
70. 15:33Um yeah, so yeah, I get that. Uh but we'll playing with Notebook LM and then we'll be playing with Cloud Designer.
71. 15:44Oh. Oh, yeah. High school. Okay. What was I going to talk about? Oh. Oh, I'm just talking about Okay. So,
72. 15:52so when when when chat GPT first came out, I had these visions of like, oh my god, I think this this might be
73. 16:01happening. And here's what I think might be happening. So, when I graduated high school, I I was doing lots of plays and
74. 16:07theater, and I was like, I love the theater, and I want to study theater. I want to study how to be an actor.
75. 16:13And but I also had this voice in my head like, you know, you're never going to work. You're never going to get a job.
76. 16:19You like computers, go do the computer thing. I didn't get much pressure from my parents, from my mom. She didn't give
77. 16:24a [ __ ] She was happy with me to do whatever. But this was like an in internal survival mechanism. I got to have skills.
78. 16:34So I started out as a computer science major. and I walked into my first computer science class at Penn State University, York campus,
79. 16:44which is not Penn State University. And uh I walked into my first computer science class and the room is full of
80. 16:55mainframe IBM mainframe computers and the professor walks out with a stack of punch cards and he goes, "This is a computer program
81. 17:05and you're going to spend your life doing large reports for large corporations on these giant machines and
82. 17:11you have to type them on these pieces of cardboard." And my only experience with computers was like an Apple 2
83. 17:18and uh and and the original Mac and uh I looked at those punch cards and I was like I will not be on this planet if that's my job.
84. 17:32So I changed my major to theater and so I have a degree in acting and I and I just I decided at a young age I would
85. 17:39much rather be happy than have money. And so I moved to New York out of school and I pursued a a life in the arts and and so for years
86. 17:51like people didn't even have to make fun of me for my acting degree. I would make fun of myself for my acting degree,
87. 17:58right? You know, as I'm eating my boxed macaroni and cheese. Um, and now we're living in a world where
88. 18:14one of the most technically advanced companies in the world, Google, and one of their their most um technically advanced
89. 18:26um divisions, Google DeepMind, they just hired a philosopher So, so the the liberal arts major thing seems to be coming around. One of the
90. 18:38other things that I've done all my life is digital hoarding. Like for all of my life, I'm like, I should save these files because someday
91. 18:48they might be valuable. And like even when I do these lives, I'm like, let's get them on YouTube. Someday
92. 18:55they're going to be valuable. We live in that world where because what I would have never done is gone back and looked at them all,
93. 19:06gone back and looked at three years of video and tried to figure out what's in there. But we now live in a world where
94. 19:12digital hoarders and liberal arts majors are rewarded. What a [ __ ] time to be alive. Are you kidding me?
95. 19:29Super important. Now that Hot Pockets have eliminated the crisper sleeve. Do they still have GenX cred? They eliminated the crisper sleeve.
96. 19:41No. Boycott Hot Pockets. What? How? How are you supposed to make them crispy? Are you just Are they just soggy and tough? No. No.
97. 19:55It's about time rewarded. Yep. All gone. No, you should listen. We're making an official change here. Friday night date night. Nachos are
98. 20:06still in unless the International Nacho Society decided that corn chips are no longer acceptable for nachos.
99. 20:15What do you mean there's no crisper sleeve for the hot pocket? And what? I suppose you're supposed to cook them in a clean microwave?
100. 20:22That's not acceptable. No longer the official food of the AI learning lab Friday night date night. Two words, air fryer. Oh, that's so
101. 20:32[ __ ] sad. Wow. The crisper sleeve has fallen the way of the air fryer. We are such a shitty society.
102. 20:57Okay, let's go. Let's get started. Let's get going. Let's get going. Let's get going. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, Panda
103. 21:05was shaking. I can accept the nacho surrogate. Yeah, nachos. Nacho is still super acceptable. By the way, I'm
104. 21:12drinking a peach monster tonight. Why am I drinking Monster Energy drink at 8:22 p.m. Mountain time? because I know how to live.
105. 21:28Who kn Who knew the downfall of society would come down to Hot Pockets? I listen I as an executive at Here's the deal.
106. 21:39You're an executive in the Hot Pocket franchise, right? And the CFO is like, "Listen, listen. Highly refined flower
107. 21:46prices are through the roof. We we've gone from a nickel a ton to 6 cents a ton. We got to cut costs. Uh hey, just
108. 21:56quick question. Uh about this sleeve thing. Uh it it's it's mighty expensive. That costs us uh 34 cents per uh per packet.
109. 22:08And uh you know that's up from 0.2. So you know what I'm saying? It's kind of cutting into the margins. So, uh, why
110. 22:18don't you think about if there's some way we could eliminate the, uh, crisper sleeve? >> But the crisper sleeve is is is everyone
111. 22:27loves the crisper sleeve. It's it's all Jim Gaffigan talks about. >> Yeah. Yeah. No, it's it's legacy. They [ __ ] caved. They [ __ ] caved.
112. 22:42[ __ ] spineless corporate weenies. Uh, hey, listen team. I hate to break it to you. This, and listen, this is not
113. 22:50coming from me. This is coming from from the top. We're going to have to lose the crisper sleeve. What do you mean? Hot pockets
114. 22:59are going to be soggy and tough. I I know. I know. I What? I They said there's an alternative heating method
115. 23:07now. What do you mean? It's It's sturdy microwaves. Dirty microwaves is what It's what we've always cooked them in. I
116. 23:13know. I know. I know that's the brand. I get it. Apparently air fryers are taking over. Air fryers. It's just hot air. I
117. 23:22know. I know. I know. Wow. Staggering. I'm a little shook. I'm a little shook. Clearly, I don't
118. 23:37need to have hot pockets to know that this change happened probably five years ago. Just a reminder, it's Gareth. Hi, Gareth.
119. 23:50I just got an awesome email. I've been accepted into the Claude Partner Program. That's actually really [ __ ] cool.
120. 24:00Am I the one who's not a fan of Hot Pockets? Nobody's a fan of Hot Pockets. Just white trash people occasionally eat
121. 24:07them and pretend like they don't. I need more ice. I'll be back. Hold, please.
122. 25:01All right, I'm back. Let's see.
123. 25:17I'm going to share my screen. I'm gonna share. Let's see. Is this it here? Yeah.
124. 25:32Okay, so we're in notebook LM. Let me get black bar going.
125. 25:50You eat the cardboard with lava because you have to. Exactly. Apparently turtles dislike crisper sleeves as much as they hate straws.
126. 26:05You know, listen, I hate to break it to you, but there's some guy somewhere that invented that silver coating on the
127. 26:12inside of the crisper sleeve. It's got just enough metal to crisp the hot pocket, but not enough metal to cause it
128. 26:19to spark and burn your house down. Like someone did that. That's someone's grandpa. And he's got to be like, "Yeah, I
129. 26:29invented the crisper sleeve." And everyone's like, "What are you talking about?" He's like, "The crisper sleeve in the
130. 26:36hot pockets. I I I made the the silver lining. That's that's me." Like there's no What are you talking? There's no
131. 26:43crisper sleeve. What is a crisper sleeve? You put it in the air fryer. These goddamn air fryers. You know,
132. 26:50there's a guy that's really sad out there right now. I thought you were talking about Chrisper, the DNA DNA editor.
133. 27:02It didn't arc in the microwave genius. Exactly. He probably made millions on it and doesn't care how they use it. No,
134. 27:09it's all the people that invented that corporate thing always take great pride in that thing. You you know the little dimple on the I
135. 27:18my it was my idea for the dimple. Corporate people are weird man. They spend 35 years in obscurity. They got to
136. 27:29take credit for the thing they made. So like the the liner of the of the crisper sleeve. That guy, you know, probably
137. 27:37worked at 3M or one of those kind of companies. My liver is still trying to detox the crisper sleeve metal. Oh my god. Okay.
138. 27:51So, so what I did here, there's this really cool document. Can I look at this document from within here?
139. 28:00Uh, what's going on? Why can I not uh Oh. Oh. Source guide.
140. 28:15Yeah. So, all of this all of this document So, this is a PDF document that's got every um like up through March, every
141. 28:26description of YouTube videos with chapters and all that sort of stuff. Um, so that's the core source document. The
142. 28:40other document I put in there was a YouTube channel itself, but that seems to be pretty useless. Um, and then I and
143. 28:46then I just went in and I had uh I had notebook LM like tell me what was in there. And I had it come up with five phases.
144. 29:06So here's what it came up with. Phase one, the primordial soup, the and the chatbt awakening early to mid 2023.
145. 29:16The initial phase was characterized by explosive growth and mix of awe, fear, and skepticism. As Chat GPT reached 100
146. 29:23million users, it's up to 900 million now. Host Kyle Shannon frequently compared the technological leap to the
147. 29:30early days of the worldwide web. I still do that because I'm insufferable. I'm like the guy that invented the hot
148. 29:35pocket crisper. You know, I was there for the early days of the worldwide web. People are like, "Shut up, old man.
149. 29:45Did you invent the iPhone? Then we don't care. Conversations focused on overcoming fear of job displacement still and
150. 30:00encouraging users to experience Kevin Mallister moments. personal breakthroughs where individuals realized the technology's profound
151. 30:09potential. Early exploration centered on basic prompting, debunking AI myths, and democratizing creativity
152. 30:17through first generation im image tools like Dolly 2 and Midjourney. That's pretty cool. Um, let's see. I tried to make a slide deck
153. 30:28with Notebook LM today and it wasn't very good and it couldn't edit. Well, we're gonna go play with uh we're gonna
154. 30:34go play with uh what you call it. Um Claude Designer. We'll we'll see if there's something interesting there. I'm also trying to make a uh
155. 30:48I'm trying to make a video overview of of the channel. It's taking a really long time, but it said it might.
156. 30:59Oh, there's a chronicle. Oh, cool. Okay. Anyway, wait. Let's look at this chronicle. So, I had to do a
157. 31:15How do I Where do I Hang on. Hold, please. Show prompt. Okay. And can I make the font bigger? Yeah. Oh, here we go.
158. 31:34All right. Chronicle of the Great Repurpose. No. Well, okay. So, it got that wrong. So, I don't know where it got the Great
159. 31:43Repurpose [ __ ] That's that's much later. Historical Foundation. The dawn of generative of the generative era, April to late 2024.
160. 31:52In retrospect, the 2023 era was merely the first tremor of the tectonic shift. It was a period defined by initial
161. 31:58magic. A brief shimmering window of a simple act of prompting chatpt felt like a brush with the divine. Archaeological
162. 32:05evidence from the AI salon archive suggests the frenetic energy of discovery. By mid 2024, the landscape
163. 32:13was more cynical. The vending machine mindset. This is wrong. This is not good. Actually, that's a bad report. All
164. 32:21right, we'll go back to that central thing because that was actually pretty good. Okay, here we go. Primordial soup. So,
165. 32:38phase 2 was late 2023 to early 2024. So, that was late 2023 to early 2024. That was when we did GPT for good. Oh,
166. 32:48yeah. Look at this. Customization, democratization, and multimodality. As the hype began to settle into
167. 32:54practical application, OpenAI introduced the ability to create custom GPTs and launched the GPT store. Remember the GPT
168. 33:02store? We were all going to be [ __ ] rich making custom GPTs. And then at some point, I think it was
169. 33:08Source Camp was like, uh, hey, could we charge money for these? And Sam Alton was like, yeah, yeah, it's going to be a
170. 33:16store. It's going to be awesome. everybody's going to be rich. And then he promptly forgot about it. And Source Camp still doesn't have her
171. 33:25answer. AI summary. Debating if the hot pocket crisper sleeve is a good invention.
172. 33:40Share your opinions. I'm glad you're showing this. No answer and 199 GPTs later. Exactly. Um, this era marked the
173. 33:50shift from users simply interacting with the chatbot to programming personalized AI assistance. Remember that when we
174. 33:57were making those custom GPTs, the miraculous part of that was you were doing sophisticated programming without
175. 34:05having to program. It was just English language. Um, and the results were these these pretty remarkable sophisticated tools.
176. 34:16Um Cindy [ __ ] this week thought she was teaching advanced um agentic workflows and it turned out the people in the room
177. 34:25didn't even know what a custom GPT was. So she spent the whole time teaching them custom GPTs. That was this week. So
178. 34:33the the gap between where we are if you've been paying attention to this stuff for three years and where people
179. 34:40are that are just starting is pretty vast at this point. that the world is starting to shatter in into these distinct modes.
180. 34:51A major highlight of this period was the GPT for good 24-hour hackathon where the AI salon community collaborated to build
181. 34:58hundreds of custom GPT bots for nonprofits. Simultaneously, AI became multimodal. That was November of 24 or 23. No, it was early 2024.
182. 35:10G gaining the ability to see GPT4 vision speak advanced voice models and perform complex data analysis code interpreter.
183. 35:18This is really good. This is actually what's cool about this. This notebook LM actually is capturing kind of the
184. 35:24highlight technologies of the day. That's really cool. Phase three mid 2024 the creative explosion in video and
185. 35:30audio. Yeah, that makes sense. The landscape shifted dramatically toward rich media generation. The announcement
186. 35:37of OpenAI's Sora. Remember that? Remember when the that the Sora video came out? We're like, "Oh my god, that's amazing."
187. 35:45And then like six months later they they introduced like the shitty version of Sora that sucked. And then all the other video competitors
188. 35:54caught up and surpassed them and they finally introduced Sora as like the social media app which they've now killed. Wild.
189. 36:05Alongside tools like Runway, Gen 3, Lumalab's Dream Machine signaled the arrival of highquality texttovideo
190. 36:11capabilities. In parallel, AI music generators like Sunno and Udo democratized music production and allowed users to generate full songs
191. 36:20with vocals, instrumentation, and text prompts. This phase empowered creators to become directors, blending tools to
192. 36:26create complex projects such as Shannon's AI assisted Broadway musical concept Sydney and artificial love
193. 36:33story, which is still kicking around. We're around two years ahead of the rest of the world. I know it's crazy, right?
194. 36:42Phase four, Agentic AI, deep research and vibe coding, late 2024 to 2025. This phase saw a pivot pivot from
195. 36:50passive commercial chat bots to active autonomous agents capable of executing multi-step tasks across the internet
196. 37:01such as OpenAI's operator Manis and GenSpark. The concept of vibe coding became a central theme as platforms like
197. 37:07lovable and replet enabled non-engineers to build and launch functional web applications simply by describing them
198. 37:14in plain English. Additionally, models equipped with reasoning engines, OpenAI's 01 and 03 and deep research
199. 37:21capabilities transformed how users gathered this. This just this little document alone is absolutely fascinating. What are these links to?
200. 37:33Oh, it's it's it's links to chapters within within the document. This is all thanks to Lord Digital Gods,
201. 37:40by the way. Like none of this would be possible without what he put together. So, I don't know if you're here, Glenn,
202. 37:46but if you are, you you [ __ ] rock. Okay. Um, additionally, models equipped with reasoning engines. Okay. Did uh
203. 37:57transformed how users gathered, analyzed, and synthesized vast amounts of complex data. Phase five, the great
204. 38:03repurpose and identity shift 2026. By early 2026, the AI agents became highly capable of automating technical tasks, even
205. 38:13replacing the need for traditional coding. The conversation shifted from tool mastery to an existential reckoning
206. 38:20dubbed the great repurpose, which happened yeah this year. With expertise increasingly commoditized, professionals
207. 38:27faced an involuntary job redefinition and identity crisis. The community recognized that the future success would
208. 38:34rely less on technical execution and more on soft skills, human connection, taste, and intentionality. Creators
209. 38:40began managing custom autonomous agents like Shannon's Adambot. He's he's an embarrassment to the family name uh to
210. 38:48orchestrate complex digital workshops, freeing humans to focus on meaning, authenticity, and exploring the
211. 38:54question, what do I truly want to do? Really good. And then it it provided like clips and so Tik Tok pin. Thank you. That's why I
212. 39:08only do one show a night. You're the best. You're the best. Law digital gods. You really are. Um this is
213. 39:18so cool. Okay, so so what I'm going to do, so I had to I had to pull out clips that I could go watch, which was kind of fun.
214. 39:27Let's see. Midjourney's end goal. Let's see. Spider Jank spell. The superhero named Spider Jank
215. 39:48casts a spell with his spider magic wand.
216. 40:085 seconds. Generate. All right. So, this does it pretty quick, but it's going to be like 30 seconds here. We'll go back over to
217. 40:17cling. Clang cling. That's so funny. Um Oh, I just closed my sharing window. Hang on.
218. 40:31So that's kind of cool. So I've got a list of Yeah, these are pretty good. Phase one, except I think what this did was it it included
219. 40:45videos from the wrong years. That's 23. Anyway, but the like the thing I was saying before about
220. 41:00um we live in this crazy time where digital hoarding is being rewarded. So, what we're going to do is this. I had this thing write a um
221. 41:13a a prompt for Gen Spark. So, when I was trying to get it to do good stuff earlier, system prompt. Okay, here's the complete
222. 41:23all-in-one prompt you can copy into clip clip genie. Okay, so here's what I'm going to do. Copy this. So, this
223. 41:31describes the sections and then it it points out what clips to go make from which videos. Okay. So, I'm going to go now to
224. 41:46GenSpark. Ultra mode now powered by Opus 4.7. Stronger reasoning.
225. 42:03I guess I could turn that on. It's going to blow through my credits though, isn't it? A new version of this website is
226. 42:10available. Refresh now. Genpark claw desktop app. Genpark claw is now free cuz it was like $69 a month. Black bar. Um,
227. 42:29okay. Okay. So, I could go straight to Clip Genie, but I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to say, "Here's a prompt that
228. 42:40definitely requires Clip Genie, but this is a historical look at Gen AI through the lens
229. 42:59of three years of AI learning lab video. Wait, let's see. Live stream
230. 43:14video archives. This could also be an interesting presentation with video clips.
231. 43:28I will let you decide how to express this important historical
232. 43:42recounting of the early evolution of Genai. And then I'm going to paste in that whole giant [ __ ] thing. And
233. 43:58we're going to let it do ultra. And what we're probably gonna do here uses more credits. I'm going to turn off
234. 44:05ultra. We don't need ultra for this. Um, what I'm going to do here is just turn this bad boy loose. Oh, apparently I'm not. What? What
235. 44:18happened? Your GenSpark Plus plan auto renews on May 13th. Oh, did I blow through all my Oh, you've used all your credits. Oh, damn it.
236. 44:38Well, so so there you have it. There you have it, kids. Apparently, I guess I'm not I guess I'm not making
237. 44:49some fancy ass historical document till my credits renew. That's all right. That's fine. Whatever. It's not a
238. 44:56problem. Not a problem. All right. It's just tragic. But I think what I will do, maybe I'll do this over the weekend. I think what I
239. 45:07will do is I'll take this stuff from from Notebook LM, you know, this stuff where it's got these like all these clips and these
240. 45:17descriptions of the five phases. I you know, I'm going to I'm going to go out on No, no, we'll just leave it like
241. 45:25that. I'll turn that into some sort of LinkedIn post or something like that. That could be kind of fun. Um, I turned this into a cinematic
242. 45:33podcast and so let's watch we'll we'll watch it for a bit. It's 5 minutes. If it doesn't horrifically suck, then we will um
243. 45:54we'll keep watching it. George Carlin didn't narrate it, right? Yeah. No, we got booted last night from YouTube. Oh, what I found out from
244. 46:03YouTube, for those of you that got were watching on YouTube and it just stopped, it was it wasn't because he was saying
245. 46:10cuss words, it's because that clip was copywritten and so I was streaming a copywritten work live. And so the way
246. 46:17YouTube works is if they sense that you're streaming copywritten work, they'll pause the live until you stop
247. 46:23streaming it. So, if I had just stopped the George Carlin clip, it probably would have come back, but I didn't know
248. 46:29that until just now. Okay. Is that a silicon graphics machine? Oh, it's a Next cube. >> That's interesting.
249. 46:36>> Kyle Shannon helped build the early worldwide web on systems like this next computer. >> No. >> Decades later, as a new technological
250. 46:44wave began to swell in 2023, he started recording. He launched a nightly live stream, a three-year video archive
251. 46:52capturing the modern artificial intelligence revolution in real time. This archive isn't just a tech log. It's
252. 47:00a map of human psychology. It tracks the specific predictable stages our collective mind goes through when a
253. 47:07technology begins to outpace our >> By the way, this is horrifically bad right now. >> In early 2023, we were in stage one
254. 47:16dismissal. Most people saw chat bots as janky novelties. They laughed at the broken responses and the bizarre
255. 47:23hallucinations, treating the technology as a flawed parlor trick that couldn't handle basic facts. Because the errors
256. 47:30were so visible, we ignored the trajectory. We focused on the failures of the moment, creating a cultural blind
257. 47:37spot that hid the sheer speed at which the underlying neural networks were compounding in power. By late 2023, the
258. 47:45tone shifted into stage two, awe tools like midjourney and Dolly reached a >> which by the way it I didn't tell it to
259. 47:55use these stages of dismissal dismissal law. This is the five stages of AI adoption. I didn't tell it to do this.
260. 48:02It found that in that document >> threshold where a digital painting could be assembled out of static in seconds,
261. 48:08producing images that looked indistinguishable from human artistry. Users discovered they could type a messy
262. 48:14paragraph into a text box and watch as a help me write this button instantly converted it into a coherent business
263. 48:21plan or a working block of code. This created a vacuum effect. The technology was suddenly capable of high-level
264. 48:28cognitive tasks, but the average user had no framework to understand how a machine was suddenly thinking or
265. 48:34creating. Ae is rarely a permanent state. >> This is weird cuz this is a this is shitty, but it's also um
266. 48:48it's not it's not using the the document. It's just making [ __ ] up. Um, explainer brief. Let's see.
267. 49:05I'm going to make an audio podcast because, well, maybe I'll do a video one. An explainer. All right, let's do an explainer. Choose
268. 49:16the visual style. Classic custom anime watercolor heritage paper craft retro print. We'll go retro print career focus professional persona.
269. 49:35All right. Let's say um use the transcript. Wait, use the the content of the docu the content of the PDF with all the YouTube, all the
270. 49:54AI learning lab um video descriptions and chapters to
271. 50:10Chronicle the evolution of
272. 50:26Gen AI from its birth in 2022. And we'll put even though These
273. 50:41transcripts start in 2023 until March of 2026.
274. 50:56Um, create your own logical eras based on the contents of the shows. All right, let's see how that does.
275. 51:11So, we'll come back to that. Okay, let's go play with Jen uh Claude Designer. Um, so if you go to if you want to play along, claude.ai
276. 51:24slashdesigner and I haven't really play Oh, slashdesigner slashdesign might be slashdesign. Yes. Slashdesign. Okay.
277. 51:40Meet Claude design. Oh, apparently I need to share this for you to see it. Did you input custom instructions to
278. 51:48help improve form and I did Kuno, but apparently I put in like you know what? You know what it almost did, Kuno? It it
279. 51:56seemed to make that entire video based on my description rather than actually looking at the source document. that
280. 52:03seemed to be just a screw-up of of uh either bad prompting on my part or just bad bad uh I don't know something management
281. 52:12on Notebook LM's part, but we'll see. We'll see what it does with the with that other one. Can I go back? Is there audio for this?
282. 52:27You know what? Hang on a sec. Let's go to Let's go to X. Maybe people have done videos on this already. Search
283. 52:42Claude design. And then we're going to play with it.
284. 52:57Why? I'm confused here. There. That's better for Tik Tok,
285. 53:12right? A little bit more better. Here you go. Okay. Um, cloud design.
286. 53:42Oh, that's interesting. So, was the official Figma integration with Claude just to grab data? Claude officially
287. 53:50released design. From now on, without integrating state-of-the-art large models, there's no traffic growth. But
288. 53:57if you integrate, you might get replaced by distillation. Killing the goose that lays the golden egg. Okay, so here's a video.
289. 54:31I love it. Heat. Heat.
290. 55:24All All right, cool. So, that's Tik Tok pin. Why does it sound like an 80s video game? Oh, everyone's just trying to get nostalgic.
291. 55:33Everyone Everyone's all excited about Gen Xers. No, they're not. Cloud design is the new Canva. Why pay
292. 55:44for Canva when you can hand it off to Cloud Code? RIP lovable. Cloud design is honestly pretty [ __ ]
293. 55:51great. They're really leaning into what is still the most creative model. I asked it to give me three directions
294. 55:59for a website I got and the results are stunning. Introducing Claude design by Anthropic. Make prototype slides, one pages by
295. 56:08talking to Claude. Enthropic released code today. This is 18 minutes. I spent the last hour giving it a first
296. 56:21look and shared my thoughts in the video below. This is a big drop. This is a new design surface from Anthropic.
297. 56:28Holy moly, Cloud Design is amazing. It straight up read my codebase. Ask me some questions and I gave it some vague make it better, please.
298. 56:38It's so much better than the crap I designed. Loving it. So, I can already tell you Cloud Design is unlike anything else out there right
299. 56:46now. I just finished comprehensive design philosophy components library fonts directory animation gallery last
300. 56:53week and with design I can conveniently link okay
301. 57:14the designer's position is very stable. Even if so many companies take turns launching design agents, they still
302. 57:21can't replace full-time designers. Designers of the future will only be greater. Well, yeah, but like it it this is
303. 57:33changing the definition of who gets to be a designer. Like it used to be you had to have tactical skills to be a
304. 57:40designer. What these tools are going to allow is that anyone who's got taste Right? Anyone who's got intuition and taste
305. 57:50and has, you know, enough curiosity to learn these tools can actually do design now. Designers, stop using Claude.
306. 58:06All right, let's go play with it.
307. 58:20Okay. So, what we've got here, company name and blurb. Let me go back. Can I change the name of this thing? Any other notes?
308. 58:33Why can I I not change the name of this? Link code from your computer. This doesn't upload the whole codebase. Cloud
309. 58:43will copy selected files. Upload a Figma file here. Add fonts, logos, and assets. All right. So, let me do I'll do some story stuff.
310. 59:06Hang on a sec. I'm just I'm just navigating through Here's brand assets. So, we've got, you know, I'm going to go change my sharing
311. 59:21so you can see what I'm doing on screen. So, basically what I'm looking to do right now is go find documents. Is this our brand sheet?
312. 59:37Yeah. Yeah. So, there's our brand sheet. Okay. Butus.
313. 59:54So, that's our brand sheet. Let's see what else do we have here.
314. 1:00:14or business cards. And I don't need that. Fonts, logos, assets. What's this? Oh, that's our PopSocket thing. Well,
315. 1:00:26we'll throw that up there. Why not? logos. Let's see.
316. 1:00:50There's our little dude. So, there's the PNG of him. Yeah, that's good. Drag that in there. Oops.
317. 1:01:07And then we'll go reversed. We'll grab that PNG. Beautiful. And then we'll go. Ah, Damn it.
318. 1:01:23Let's see. RGB. logo no tag
319. 1:01:37RGB two color we'll go PNG that one
320. 1:01:51and then we'll go reverse alt white background ground. Yep, that's good. That goes there.
321. 1:02:20And then there's that one, which I like too. Put that there. Okay. Okay, so we have our stylesheet. We have logos.
322. 1:02:27Black bar, please. Sorry about that. Sorry about that. Carrying on. Redo chip pip. I can ask it to search for things on the web
323. 1:02:39and do tasks for me on the computer. It has memory. That's cool. Then the other thing I can do here. Well, wait. So,
324. 1:02:49hang on a sec. Um, I should have a brand strategy document. Let me let me see if I can go find that for a second. Um,
325. 1:03:08logos carry the guides. Sharable logos. Oh, that's logos. Okay, hang on. App sheet graphics copy for story mind
326. 1:03:23images head style branding. Oh, here's here's photography. No oneliners business cards.
327. 1:03:48Ah, storyline brand strategy. Here we go. This is a PowerPoint file.
328. 1:04:06I wonder if it can read this. That'll be interesting to see.
329. 1:04:52Oh, bless you. Thank you. I can ask it to do search for things on the web. Okay. Do I want to do I want to put this document in here?
330. 1:05:05I think that was the old one. This is Lab summary final deck for creatives and contractors. All right, let's throw that
331. 1:05:18in there. Let's see if it'll eat that. It seemed to. Okay, now the other thing I can do is I can grab
332. 1:05:36I don't feel like doing that. You can grab a GitHub folder. I don't think I want to do that right now because I'm just
333. 1:05:43experimenting. But you can throw a GitHub folder on here for like your your front end for your for your web app
334. 1:05:51um or for I mean for your applications like you know your your interface stuff for how you design files.
335. 1:05:59So you can either link code from your computer adds font add fonts logos assets. I wonder why I can't add a website
336. 1:06:10company name and blurb. So, it's story vine and then the blurb is I wrote this earlier and it was pretty good story overview.
337. 1:06:26Here it is. This did pretty good. It's It's actually nice when you have enough history in chat GBT that you can just go, "Hey,
338. 1:06:37give me a blurb about this and it actually knows what the [ __ ] it's talking about." It actually wrote this
339. 1:06:42really good line at the end that I don't think we've ever used, but I like it. At its core, StoryVine is about something
340. 1:06:48simple but hard to scale. Real people telling real stories delivered in a way that actually connects. It's pretty [ __ ] good.
341. 1:06:57Okay, any other notes? Um, let's see. The StoryVine brand. The StoryVine brand is
342. 1:07:15professional but has an informal humorous tone to it. The design should be clean
343. 1:07:35and the copy always accessible. Period. We refer to the little character that is part of our logo as the gnome.
344. 1:07:50And we talk about the gnomes up in the cloud that automagically make videos. Period. So that's a good example of the kind of
345. 1:08:03fun yet professional informality that I'm talking about. Period. Okay. I don't know if that's any good, but
346. 1:08:13that at least give us at least it has our logos. It has our brand stylesheet. It's got some description of the company
347. 1:08:19and and our brand. So, continue to generation. It will take about five minutes to generate your design system.
348. 1:08:27You can step away. Keep the tab in the background. Okay, cool. So, we'll let that do that. That's doing its thing. Let's go back to
349. 1:08:37um Notebook LM. All right. So, our our explainer video is done. Let's go look at this and see if this is sucks less. Hang on a sec.
350. 1:08:48Wasn't there like a funny image thing that we did a year ago when we were all animals? Todd Waller, I'm late. Oh my
351. 1:08:55god, Todd, we've got to start over. All right, hang on. Let me get my guitar. Champ, you got to get up. Todd's late. Champ,
352. 1:09:07he's not getting up. Union. Union dog, he's not getting up for you, Todd. Sorry about that. Okay. Uh, I need to change my sharing tabs
353. 1:09:22turtles. Okay, let's see if this video sucks less. Why is it called the great repurpose? Okay, we got to we got to fix this. What the [ __ ]
354. 1:09:37AI learning lab descriptions. Why is this called the great repurpose? Um, what's this? Click
355. 1:09:52configure chat. Well, whatever. >> All right, let's talk about the whirlwind evolution of generative AI. Seriously, it has been a wild ride.
356. 1:10:01Today, we're going to break down this entire journey into four distinct eras using some incredible source material to
357. 1:10:07map out how we went from just playing around with these tools to well to a full-blown identity crisis in just a
358. 1:10:14couple of years. And this quote right here, this is what sets the stage for everything we're about to cover.
359. 1:10:20>> I remember such a powerful line because it perfectly captures that feeling, you know, that feeling of standing on the
360. 1:10:26edge of some massive irreversible change. So, let's take a trip back to where this all kicked off. Okay, so
361. 1:10:33let's dive right into era 1. This was a time of just pure chaotic discovery. It was messy. It was exciting. And
362. 1:10:40honestly, it felt a whole lot like the early days of the internet. Remember that? The dialup sounds, the clunky
363. 1:10:46websites. It was a total wild west where nobody really knew the rules yet. And it all happens so unbelievably fast. I
364. 1:10:54mean, look at this timeline. Chat GPT drops in late 2022 and boom, by the middle of 2023, the entire world is
365. 1:11:02talking about it. And the call to action back then wasn't about becoming an expert or building a business. It was
366. 1:11:07just get curious, go play, see what happens. And this is what's so fascinating. >> Which, by the way, I still think that
367. 1:11:16that's, you know, the community's call to action in mid2023 is about getting curious and start playing. I still think
368. 1:11:22that's what it's about. >> Go play. See what happens. And this is what's so fascinating. That feeling was so familiar. If you were
369. 1:11:30around in the 90s, you know what I'm talking about. The AI tools were described as janky and unpredictable.
370. 1:11:35Just like those early web pages. But just like the web, they were absolutely overflowing with this raw untapped
371. 1:11:41potential. The web democratized information. This was democratizing creation itself. And that was the whole
372. 1:11:48philosophy. That was it. It wasn't about making perfect polished products. It was all about experimenting, about pushing
373. 1:11:55these new kind of broken tools to their absolute limits, just to see what they could do. The best way to learn was just
374. 1:12:02to play. But things started to speed up dramatically. This brings us to the next era where the entire game changed. AI
375. 1:12:10moved way beyond just turnurning out text. It started to see, to hear, and to speak. It was basically getting senses.
376. 1:12:18And wow, what a leap this was. All of a sudden, AI wasn't just a writer anymore. With tools like Dolly E3, it was an
377. 1:12:26artist. With Suno, it was a musician. With real- time voice, it became a conversational. The style of this is kind of generic and
378. 1:12:34and whatever, but like this is pretty cool that out of just me rambling for three years, it's pulling this history out. It's pretty cool.
379. 1:12:44>> And you could already see the early hints of text to video, which was just mindblowing at the time. And you have to
380. 1:12:49remember this wasn't a one-horse race. Not at all. When major players like Google dropped their Gemini models, it
381. 1:12:56was like pouring gasoline on an already raging fire. The competition just kicked into hyperdrive and it felt like these
382. 1:13:02AIs were getting smarter. It actually somehow seemed to miss that Gemini's initial entries into this sucked so bad
383. 1:13:08we made fun of them for a year and a half. They've caught up >> every single week. And here's the most
384. 1:13:15crucial part. All this incredible power was being handed directly to us, to everyone. You didn't need to be a top
385. 1:13:22tier coder anymore to build your own specialized AI. You could literally just talk to it in plain English, give it
386. 1:13:29some files, and create your own custom GPT for well, pretty much anything you could dream up. Okay. Lord Digital Gods,
387. 1:13:37play is number one. It's the It's the way mammals learn at the early stages. Play opens your mind and you are more receptive. Yep. So cool.
388. 1:13:46>> So, this brings us to 2025. By this point, some of the initial novelty starts to fade a little and the focus of
389. 1:13:53the whole community begins to shift. It's not just about collecting cool new AI toys anymore. It's about figuring out
390. 1:13:59how to actually put them to work. So, that initial phase, that wideeyed excitement of just discovering what was
391. 1:14:06out there, it started to mature into something way more practical. People began asking, "Okay, this stuff is
392. 1:14:12amazing, but how do I make it a real habit? How do I consistently weave this into my daily life to actually improve
393. 1:14:19my work?" And that line of thinking led to a total reinvention of how work gets done. It was no longer about using one
394. 1:14:25little tool for one little task. No, it was about building entirely new AI powered workflows from the ground up for
395. 1:14:32everything from a complex marketing campaign to seriously a pet selfie app. And right here, this is where you start
396. 1:14:39to feel a little bit of a chill. This is where we see the first real hints of a much deeper identity crisis. Because as
397. 1:14:46AI got better and better at filling the gaps in our own skills, coding, writing, design, it started to encroach on the
398. 1:14:53very tasks that used to define our professional careers. And that leads us straight into the era we're in now. An
399. 1:14:59era where the most important questions have become less about the technology and a lot more about us. Welcome to the
400. 1:15:05human frontier. This is it. This is the big unavoidable question of 2026. When we have these hyper capable AI agents
401. 1:15:13that can manage all the digital complexity that used to fill up our workdays, what's actually left for us to
402. 1:15:18do? What is our purpose? The source material calls this period the great repurpose. And honestly, it's the
403. 1:15:25perfect name. This isn't just about >> the source material. This is so generic and shitty. >> A new tech tool. It's a massive cultural
404. 1:15:34movement. a moment where we're all being forced to confront our own value and our own identity in a world where our tasks
405. 1:15:40aren't uniquely ours anymore. Now, listen to that phrase, a mass ego death. It's startling, right? But it cuts right
406. 1:15:48to the heart of it. It's this profound challenge to our sense of selfworth when the things we do, the skills we spent
407. 1:15:55our whole lives building, can now be done by a machine. And this just shows how much the focus has shifted. It's
408. 1:16:02absolutely wild. We've gone from just using these tools to actively designing them as collaborators. We're talking
409. 1:16:08about giving them a soul, a core identity, values, and memory. The goal is no longer just to make it work, but
410. 1:16:14to give it a personality. And so, our whole journey comes full circle. We started out just tinkering with these
411. 1:16:20clunky, janky tools. And now, we've arrived at a place where the most crucial skill you can have isn't prompt
412. 1:16:27engineering or coding. It's the deeply human skill of self-awareness, of knowing your own purpose so you can
413. 1:16:34direct these unbelievably powerful tools with real intention. Which leaves us with this final really provocative
414. 1:16:40thought to chew on as we keep building this future. Are we really just pushing the limits of technology? Or are we
415. 1:16:47finally being forced to explore the true frontier, which is what it actually means to be human? Something to ponder.
416. 1:16:53Thanks for watching. All right, that was crappy and generic but accurate. So, I think a next like like how to how to
417. 1:17:03turn that into something usable would be to write a better prompt that basically gives the context of what the AI
418. 1:17:10learning lab's about and tell it to like pull the personality out of the out of the [ __ ] document that like that
419. 1:17:17thing so lacked personality. It was awful. Did you not choose cinematic? I did not choose cinematic because the cinematic
420. 1:17:26one was was really [ __ ] awful. So, I'll do cinematic next time. Um, I could do cinematic again here. Hang on.
421. 1:17:38We'll do cinematic. New rich immersive experience. Let's see. Um, I want you to create a
422. 1:17:55historical What's going on with this video? What is Hang on? Let me reload this
423. 1:18:10video. I want you to create a historical overview. What? What is going on? Why is it doing that?
424. 1:18:30you to create a historical overview of the last three years of generative AI
425. 1:18:44based on the transcript which are the description and chapters of the YouTube channel of the AI learning lab hosted by Kyle Shannon.
426. 1:18:59Period. Make sure you look at the personality and humor of the descriptions
427. 1:19:19and break the history down into five distinct eras based on what you see in the document. Period.
428. 1:19:35The video should be titled the history of generative AI
429. 1:19:51through the eyes of the AI learning lab. Comma and irregular perspective. Period.
430. 1:20:07Should be called should be titled the history of generative AI through the eyes of the AI learning lab.
431. 1:20:27and irregular perspective. That's pretty good, right? Okay, let's see if that makes a less shitty thing. Now, let's jump back over
432. 1:20:40to Claude. I got to share this tab now. Did it do it? No assets registered yet. Design system. What happened here?

436. 1:21:38Story vine brand deck. Can I get rid of this? Can I get rid of something? Delete. Delete. Delete. Delete. Okay.
437. 1:21:56Do I need to like redo something? Design system. No assets registered yet. Um, make me a promo card
438. 1:22:13for a conference. Let me just give it a really shitty prompt and see if it does anything
439. 1:22:28remotely interesting. Caramelizing onions. Click comment in the toolbar and then click any element to annotate it.
440. 1:22:51You cannot unsee bad font pairing. Choose carefully. Copied Storyline logo guided wrote conference promo card writing styles
441. 1:23:04design system creating your design system I'll start by exploring the provided brand assets to understand um extract PP
442. 1:23:21write the content fundamentals in the read me Right. Visual foundations. Huh.
443. 1:23:37Writing styles. That's still generating. All right. Anybody got any questions, thoughts?
444. 1:23:54Weaver. Weaver's here. It's like it's like old old reunion night. Good to see everybody. Missing fonts.
445. 1:24:15Huh? Okay. Okay, so these are real editable things except Wait. Oh, it's still working.
446. 1:24:30Powering your story, honoring your voice. That looks like it got that off our website. Stop by booth 1422. Film a story in 90 seconds.
447. 1:24:40Free PopSockets. That's pretty funny. They got our colors right. So wait, how do I upload fonts?
448. 1:25:03Oh, I see these are scalable and resizable. I see what's happening here.
449. 1:25:18So the important thing about the scalable and resizable is these are not so right now you can do this kind of design stuff in
450. 1:25:29Gemini Nano Banana and in chat GPT but it's just generating a flat image. This is actually creating designs and it's
451. 1:25:40it's using the wrong fonts right now because I didn't upload the right fonts. But we can that that's fixable. That is fixable. Fixed V3.
452. 1:25:54Good catch. The gnome's orange body dissolves into the Let me fix. Oh, so it caught its own errors. V3 now uses an
453. 1:26:00all-white reverse gnome that read reads cleanly against the blue background. I'm going to say um use the white slash orange logo
454. 1:26:13against the blue rather than the all white. Let's see if it fixes that. Let's see if it understands. But this is kind of cool. So now what
455. 1:26:29are we going to do? We're going to export these as I guess let's export them as a PDF and see what we get.
456. 1:26:46Why did it not export? Export as PDF. Maybe because it's rendering. Share. Can I
457. 1:27:02Can I zoom? How do I meet the gnomes? They do the editing so you don't have to. That's pretty cool. That's pretty
458. 1:27:17good actually. Missing brand font. Upload fonts. Okay, cool. So, let me go download Open Sands and Monserat. Um, Google Fonts, Open
459. 1:27:34Sands. Download Open Sands. Let's see
460. 1:27:50Styles. Get font. Download all. Okay, there's open sands. Beautiful. Now, let's see if we can get Monserat. I
461. 1:28:02don't I think Monserat is not a Google font. Um, let's see one font family. Okay. Uh, Mont Serat
462. 1:28:24couldn't find any fonts. Oh, here we go. Monzerat. Get font. Download all. Cool. Okay. Beautiful. I bet I wonder if I can
463. 1:28:36upload the zip files. I bet I can. Upload fonts. Nope. Okay. So, we'll go. Oh, you're not seeing this, are you? No.
464. 1:28:51Hang on. Everybody just calm down.
465. 1:29:06Okay, there's our fonts. So, let's upload fonts. Open.
466. 1:29:21Upload fonts. Oh, that's cool. There's static. Static and variable. Let's just upload the
467. 1:29:36variable ones and see if it can figure it out. font uploaded. So, let me stop it here. I'm going to say I uploaded
468. 1:29:51Open Sands and Mont Surat um variable fonts. Please update designs
469. 1:30:07accordingly. Shang dang dang.
470. 1:30:29Let me check what got uploaded. So, we might need to upload the static weights fonts instead of the variable ones.
471. 1:30:37I shoed for Mac Minis this morning, but they're all sold out. Uh, hey Todd, I got a I got the MacBook Pro, the M5.
472. 1:30:48Um, I got it in like a week and um I got the 14inch one and it is really impressive. It's very small.
473. 1:31:00What's fascinating about the 14-inch one is I thought it would be like a total compromise. like I had in my head the
474. 1:31:0612-in one which is like this little baby screen. It's not. It's decent, but it's not as like, you know, overbearing as the uh
475. 1:31:17as the 16 in. And you can get a pretty baller machine with a screen on it. So, you can put it anywhere. Like, I know
476. 1:31:25you don't need it. you you don't need to pay for the screen, but if you get the 14 inch, it's it's not that much more to have the
477. 1:31:34screen. Um, okay. Let's see. Caveats whenever you're ready. Still to build preview cards for the design
478. 1:31:42system tab, product surfaces. Okay. Are those design files? Oh, design system. Where's Oh, here we
479. 1:31:57go. Yeah, I think these are the right font. They are. Wow. Very cool. Free PopSockets at the booth.
480. 1:32:15Okay, now let's export as PDF. Save as PDF.
481. 1:32:31Did it do it? No. Writing styles.
482. 1:32:48Real people. Real stories scaled. See how pharma and health systems capture compliant onbrand patient videos. I wonder where I got all that
483. 1:33:00[ __ ] Oh. Huh. Oh, cool. Look at that.
484. 1:33:21Save as PDF.
485. 1:33:35Huh. So, these are definitely designs. They're not great, but you know,
486. 1:33:51All right. Kind of cool. Like this one's got a bunch of problems with it. All right, let's have it. Um,
487. 1:34:09let's say, um, I want you to generate screens for a
488. 1:34:28teleprompter app. Let's just see what it does because I didn't give it any any interface stuff.
489. 1:34:52Here's the thing about the Todd the the M5 versus the M4 M4. The architecture of the M4 is that there's one AI accelerator in front of
490. 1:35:07the GPUs. And in the M5 there's a there's an AI accelerator per GPU. Um I don't know the difference that makes.
491. 1:35:21I assume it make makes a difference. Just in general with Max, my philosophy has always been buy the one the farthest
492. 1:35:28the farthest to the right you can because you know it'll last you a year longer than than you know if you get the
493. 1:35:40M4 because because what Apple's going to do is later this year they're going to they're going to come out with a bunch
494. 1:35:45of machines that are just inference beasts. So, anything we buy right now, we're going to look at what comes out in
495. 1:35:51the fall. We're be like, "Oh, [ __ ] I should have waited." So, might as well have an M5 because I'm sure those will be some sort of crazy
496. 1:36:01ass M5 Ultra or something like that. Um, teleprompter. Oh, wait. Who's this for? The Story Minds mobile capture app. platform, iPhone,
497. 1:36:17iPad landscape.
498. 1:36:40How does the script get in there? How does the prompt scroll?
499. 1:36:56All right. Reviewing the draft design system. I wonder if this is going to go look at storyvine.com and get screenshots of our
500. 1:37:08app. That would be interesting. I doubt it, but we'll see. I bought a Neo for casual use and the 13-inch screen is tolerable.
501. 1:37:20Oh, that's interesting. Sea slug. Yeah, I like the the 14 I'm really I'm really happy with the 14-inch MacBook Pro.
502. 1:37:29Like the screen is super clean. super clear, super fast. Um, the keyboard feels nice. It's funny, it's got really teeny tiny speaker um
503. 1:37:42channels, but the the sound is really good on it. Like the engineering on the the MacBook Pro right now is really tight. And I
504. 1:37:52know they're coming up with a new design in the fall, but this this form factor is is really impressive.
505. 1:38:01I saw the Neo at Costco. Yeah, the Neo is basically just on a mobile on a on a mobile chip, right? The Neo has side speakers that are quite
506. 1:38:11surprising. Yeah, like when I when I play audio on like these little teeny tiny things should not sound as good as
507. 1:38:17it sounds. Like I hear stereo separation, I hear bass. It's pretty wild. It's pretty wild what they've done. Apple, I got to say, like
508. 1:38:27I've been making fun of Apple now for what, three years straight. That just how did they miss the [ __ ] boat on
509. 1:38:33this? And Apple's going to sneak in through the back door by building the hardware cuz what's going to happen is this this we we
510. 1:38:43talked about this today in office hours. Um it it's it it seems pretty clear that starting with Mythos um the Frontier model companies are
511. 1:38:57going to stop releasing everything they build and you're going to need special access to get access to the to the most
512. 1:39:05powerful models from the frontier model companies. So us plebs are not going to have access to all the
513. 1:39:11cool toys anymore, right? So, the cool toys are going to go to the government and to big business and they're all going to go play their
514. 1:39:19[ __ ] game. And what's going to happen is China will keep providing open- source models and then some of these guys will take you
515. 1:39:28know powerful pieces of what they do and drop that down to open source and we'll pull all these models increasingly to
516. 1:39:38our local machines and we'll be doing all the inference locally on our local machines. So having a badass like Mac
517. 1:39:45Mini or MacBook Pro that can run these machines like Quen 3.6 6 came out today and Brent Peterson on the on the office
518. 1:39:54hours said that Quen 3.6 is the first open-source model that runs OpenClaw well 3.5 didn't. He said like literally
519. 1:40:07a month ago Brent Peterson said do not run open claw locally. Don't buy yourself a good machine. The the local
520. 1:40:14models just aren't aren't there. They suck. And today he said 3.6 6 came out and it works and it's good. So, so we're
521. 1:40:23now at a point where the hardware is powerful enough and the models are efficient enough that we can run local
522. 1:40:31models that are good enough to do some of this powerful work locally without having to go to open AI. I think that's
523. 1:40:37where things start to move over the next two to three years because the big frontier model companies, they're going
524. 1:40:43to be like, "Well, this is this AI is so powerful that that you normal people can't have it. Only only governments can
525. 1:40:51have it." Kyle, is your is your Mac M laptop have a touchcreen? It does not. So, the touchscreen is coming in the new
526. 1:41:01MacBook Pro that's going to launch in the fall. Is going to have a a dual stack OLED screen um that's just basically like super
527. 1:41:12bright and super contrasty and it's going to be touchscreen. They're completely redesigning the architecture.
528. 1:41:18So the MacBook that I just bought is the last of the current architecture which has been it's been this
529. 1:41:26architecture basically the chassis has been the same since 2022. But what I like about that is it is like
530. 1:41:38there's no fluff on it. Like it is just a solid machine. The new one's probably going to be janky because it's a whole
531. 1:41:46new architecture, right? So, they'll make mistakes on that one. It'll be the second or third generation that that
532. 1:41:51gets really tight. But the in the fall, the MacBook Pros will have touchscreens, which Steve Jobs is flipping in his
533. 1:41:59grave. He said we should never have a touch screen. You're in different modes. Uh, let's see. Question for you. Um,
534. 1:42:06wait, wait, wait. What's this? What's this done? Welcome. Where's my screens?
535. 1:42:22Your design is ready. Your feedback will improvement. New design using this system. What should the script source be? Um, you
536. 1:42:39decide. I just want to I just [ __ ] I just want to There's a good typo. I just want to see your UX chops
537. 1:42:56right now. Send
538. 1:43:21Okay, that's that's doing its thing. Um, let's go back to notebook LM. Does this this is still generating a video. That takes a while.
539. 1:43:35D. So, here's the deal with claw design. Um, this is a very, okay, it looks like what what is going to be an incredibly
540. 1:43:51powerful tool that's going to take all of us some time to understand the quirks of. So, I would encourage you cla.ai/design.
541. 1:44:04And if you have a Claude account, and probably even if you don't, just go start playing with it. Upload your
542. 1:44:09logos, upload your brand standards, point it to your GitHub repositories if you've got front-end stuff in there. Let it learn your design
543. 1:44:20stuff and then we will we will learn together on this one. But this seems like a new paradigm. And when you export,
544. 1:44:35yeah, I can export to Canva. Send to Canva. So if it gives me a shitty layout, I can export it as a as a PowerPoint.
545. 1:44:47I can export it as standalone HTML. I can hand it off to Claude Code. Oh, that's really cool. Okay, so if you come
546. 1:44:54over here and you do screen designs for an app that you really like, you just hand them to Claude Code and say, "Write the back end."
547. 1:45:02It's pretty [ __ ] slick. This is good. This is good, people. This is good. All right, that's still working. This is
548. 1:45:11still working. Everyone's still working. Thoughts, questions? Anyone still awake?
549. 1:45:28I'm sorry, Kyle. I fell asleep. Hey Kyle, last night I was watching you and I dropped the phone on my face. Now
550. 1:45:37I have a band-aid on it. Could I get a refund? Give us your craziest prediction for what these tools will do in the future.
551. 1:45:47Todd Waller's here. Yeah, but you're shopping for new computers. That's exciting. Cam is just listening. Job said vertical screens cause arm
552. 1:45:57fatigue over time. your arm will want to fall off. Yeah. Um, craziest predictions for the future. Um,
553. 1:46:12here you go, Kelly. This is the big one. I think that we're in a quaint era where where human software engineers are
554. 1:46:26designing software for human beings to pretend that they still need to be in the loop. And I think that where these tools
555. 1:46:40ultimately go is that the humans are going to train the humans are going to train the AI what we want and how we design
556. 1:46:55and then at some point they'll just remove the front end the human front end from these things like maybe there's a
557. 1:47:02dashboard where you log in and approve things but you're probably not going to actually be doing all this
558. 1:47:10right agents are probably going to be using all these different tools time All right, let me jump over to look what I made before we go. Um,
559. 1:47:26I know Silverf Fox has a song in here. We So, we should go listen to that, but I got to share different. So, I'm over on over on the AIO.
560. 1:47:50Oh yeah. So, so here's a cool thing. Um, let let me let me dig through here and then I'll do that. Brandon, give me five minutes.
561. 1:48:00Okay. So, Silver Fox has a cool song in here. Oh, those are cool. Dr. J. Oh, that's a Sunno song, too. All right. So,
562. 1:48:08we'll listen to a couple of Sunno songs. Have you read the AI news today? Share this tab instead.
563. 1:48:31I woke up this morning to a glowing screen. The headline said the smartest thing we'd ever seen had solved the
564. 1:48:38proof that stumped us for a hundred years. And somewhere in a boardroom >> getting dressed for school down the
565. 1:48:52hall. I turned the volume up and let the falldiled and turned away. I poured my coffee and thought, "What do I say?"
566. 1:49:06And the world keeps spinning faster than it did before. And I'm standing at the window wondering what we're spinning toward. Have you
567. 1:49:18read the AI news today? Agn's what it seems. Have you read the
568. 1:49:34news today? That's really cute. That's really good. Um, so wait, let's see. So, the comments here are pretty funny. Todd Waller, my
569. 1:49:45open claw is Chuck. I don't have a cool story about why. Oh, yeah. By the way, go into um where did I put it? Was it in community feed?
570. 1:49:58Yeah. Go to into community feed. What did you Why did you name What's the name of your AI buddy? whether it's chat GBT
571. 1:50:06or OpenClaw, just go put that in there. Um, let's go back to look what I made. So, that was that was uh Silver Fox's
572. 1:50:15song. Here's Dr. Jay's How Fast.
573. 1:50:37I laced them up like it was sacred ground. Brand new souls, not a scar for sound. Kitchen floor turned Olympic
574. 1:50:45track. Heart said go. But the world held back. I hit the hallway at a lightning pace. Felt like time. Had a different
575. 1:50:52face. But no one cheered. No one laughed out loud. Just quiet walls in a distant crowd. Did wonder get left behind? Who decided
576. 1:51:05joy had an age or line? Not a single soul asked how fast I could run. Didn't say let's see. Didn't say that looks funwhere between
577. 1:51:26the practical stuff. I was built for the race, for the wild, for the blast, for the question that matters.
578. 1:51:40>> Nice. Love it. Beauty, beauty, beauty. And then what do we have here? We've got LDG. Back in the 70s, your uncle LDG had a band called
579. 1:51:51Infinity because I was lazy at names. All right. So, what's this? So, this is I rummaged through some stuff and found
580. 1:52:03a copy of this old song on cassette tape and digitized it, uploaded it to Suno and re-engineered it. Now, I'm
581. 1:52:10desperately looking around my uh house to see if I saved any other songs. So, cool. So, this is this is a song that
582. 1:52:17existed that just got re reunized. That's pretty cool.
583. 1:52:51It wasn't long ago. know that I was happy being blind. No news was very good news. Out of sight was out of mind.
584. 1:53:03But I grew tired of me. Life had spilled a seed that grew and grew and grew into a monster of desire. I was thrown into a rude awakening.
585. 1:53:21Do you know how much we love you? Do you know how much we care? Do you know how much we love you? Even
586. 1:53:39though you're >> nice. That's awesome. Friaking amazing. Um, sea slug of doom.
587. 1:53:53Crazy forecast. We will all be sitting in the confessional booths like like thx 1138. AI will be soothing us
588. 1:54:02and showing us no indication of actually listening. By the way, I talked about this on uh on office hours today. If you
589. 1:54:11have not played with boardy.ai be it's not even really played with. go to boardy.ai and start interacting with it and do the
590. 1:54:24onboarding phone call. And so what what Bordy.ai is is Anthem Rock. Yeah, that was definitely Anthem Rock. Um what Borty.ai is is a
591. 1:54:39super connector that will introduce you to people that you're looking to meet. So do the onboarding call because it is impressively.
592. 1:54:50It doesn't feel like AI. The Australian accent helps, but it but it's it's it's really well done. He made
593. 1:55:00a connection with me on LinkedIn. I had no idea it was an AI connection. Yeah. So, what happens is you tell Bordy all
594. 1:55:08about your business and who you are and what your values are and what you're looking for and who you want to meet.
595. 1:55:15And then you can just keep talking to him. He starts emailing you and you email back and forth with him and you
596. 1:55:20educate him and he'll say, "Hey, I found someone that you might be interested in meeting." And it'll make the intro. And
597. 1:55:26so, I've now had four human connections, human conversations about StoryVine. And then I just I just accepted one
598. 1:55:37two days ago and he made the intro and then the guy Ash that he introduced me to said sure set up a time. Um so so
599. 1:55:47anyone that he's connecting you with has also gone through the onboarding process. So, it's a really interesting
600. 1:55:54kind of professional dating app that's got a lot of friction in it and a lot of high context where you're giving this
601. 1:56:02thing, you know, what to what to play with. Kyle, did you do it for your musical, too? Well, I'm just starting.
602. 1:56:08So, what I I started with Story Vine and then I just added in my speaking stuff and now I'm going to do it for my
603. 1:56:14musical. So, that's a it's a really good call. Um, so, so yeah, I'm I'm starting to take this thing more seriously
604. 1:56:20because it's starting to make actual connections. It's wild. All right, so last thing we want to do tonight, I want to bring up um, producer
605. 1:56:29Brandon is down in Florida with Rick McCaulay. So, they're in the same household. Hey guys. >> Hello. >> Yeah. What's happen in Florida?
606. 1:56:39>> We're gonna do a hackathon tomorrow for 12 hours. We're going to change the world, man. >> Again. again and always you guys are are
607. 1:56:48uh killing it. So it's a uh what's the is there a theme of the hackathon? >> So we so funny story we thought it was
608. 1:56:55going to be healthcare and we had this whole health care plan about curing cancer and it was be amazing on my I was on the plane on the way
609. 1:57:03down. I got an email. Hey, we switched things up. It's enterprise now. So I'm like oh crap. So now we're going to
610. 1:57:10>> what's enterprise even mean? like enterprise AI, like how to use enterprise workforce. So, I don't know if they
611. 1:57:18changed sponsors or what happened, but the healthcare thing went out the window. So, we're uh we're actually
612. 1:57:25borrowing a page from your book um with the great repurpose and Rick's upskill USA. We've got a real solid plan. I
613. 1:57:32can't wait to talk about it next week after we win. >> Yes. >> Yeah. You know, you know what would be what would be a good thing to put in
614. 1:57:39there if you don't already have it in there is um how to identify the people to keep now that are going to be
615. 1:57:46valuable in the future. That whole thing of who's valuable today might not be the person valuable in the future.
616. 1:57:53>> So finding, you know, how do you find your secret cyborgs? How do you find the people with curiosity and adaptability
617. 1:58:00and like all those attributes that are not the hard skills? um something in there because that to me feels like a
618. 1:58:07bit of voodoo voodoo magic where >> if you're not thinking long and hard about what are the skills that make
619. 1:58:14someone good at AI you're just going to be thinking like oh Fred's the most valuable because he's really good at
620. 1:58:20whatever skill X is. So we're going to keep Fred but Fred might be really rigid and not curious and not adaptable. So as
621. 1:58:28things change Fred's going to be in a nightmare, you know. Yeah. And so without spilling too much candy in the lobby, what we're aligning
622. 1:58:37on is judging the criteria that we're aligning on is what parts of your job do you want to get rid of with AI?
623. 1:58:47>> What parts do you want to automate with AI and augment with AI? And what parts do you want to own? This is the part
624. 1:58:54this is my secret sauce. this is the part that I'm the AI is never going to touch because we've talked to a lot of
625. 1:58:59creatives where they like I'll let AI do that but I won't never let it do that and we just scale that up to the enterprise level.
626. 1:59:07>> So it's taking all the junky stuff and take the noise out of the signal and then amplify your humanity. So you get
627. 1:59:13rid of the answering emails, you automate the stuff that's taskbased, you know. So it's basically skills is like
628. 1:59:19the super word now. I think agents is last weekend, right? But this is now skills. So you get skills like social
629. 1:59:26media management. You just that's a skill set. Build a website. Boom. So you just say put that in the way and then I
630. 1:59:33design what I want to get done and then it goes and does it. So agenting skills are are programmable black boxes that you put in a workflow.
631. 1:59:43>> Yeah, that's really cool. >> Where the where the AIable parts of your workflow are and then let lets you
632. 1:59:49amplify you which is spending more customer time. >> That's really cool. That's really cool. And if you could do some sort of thing
633. 1:59:55where it's a timeline of like, >> you know, have someone put in what their job looks like today. >> Here's what your job's going to look
634. 2:00:02like three years from now, but then what are the milestones to get there? So, so you go through and do your
635. 2:00:08signature work on you set up the agent places where you're going to interact and where you're not the audit and the redress.
636. 2:00:16>> Then it tells you what efficiency you gain. So, you just gain 12 hours per week. >> You get Fridays off. >> That's the goal.
637. 2:00:23>> And you double the productivity of your work product >> and you take away the junk you never wanted to do in the first place. Right.
638. 2:00:30We all need to do that in life, right? >> So, here's one thing I'll I'll I'll add in. Um, >> don't just make it about efficiency, >> okay?
639. 2:00:39>> Make it make it about here's new things you're going to be able to do in in your with your skills. So, so one piece is
640. 2:00:47you make what you currently do more efficient, but then you also discover here's new things I can do with those hours that I gained.
641. 2:00:54>> Yeah, that's it. For me as a teacher, it's can I get the student to tutor themselves and then do that all night
642. 2:01:01long and come in. Then I find out what's the eeky guy for that student >> that makes them superpowered and then
643. 2:01:07send them on their froto journey and I'm just Gandalf on the side and watching it all happen, baby. >> Yeah, that's really cool. 4 day work
644. 2:01:14week has people excited. Cam Katkin's excited about that. >> I think I think Brandon just quoted a Meatloaf song. That's hilarious.
645. 2:01:23So, speaking of trying new things and thinking about where your skills are taking you, we're gonna get off because
646. 2:01:30Kyle, I know you have some announcements about next week in the AI learning lab. >> I do. So, yeah. Okay, cool. Thanks,
647. 2:01:36guys. Great seeing you. Good luck tomorrow. Um, so next week I am in DC on So, so we'll be here Monday night next week,
648. 2:01:46but then Tuesday, Wednesday, I definitely can't be here. Friday, I definitely can't be here. Thursday's a tossup. So, so next week is
649. 2:01:59probably going to be Monday and maybe Thursday. Um, and then the following week I'm in Anaheim for social media
650. 2:02:08marketing week and that is also going to be play it by ear, but probably maybe one night or two nights that week as
651. 2:02:17well. So, the next two weeks are going to be really thin. So, you're going to be on your own. Tomorrow, Nikki Weiss is doing an LOL on
652. 2:02:26building her app and what she learned along the way, like things not to do or things that broke. So, that should be
653. 2:02:32really interesting and powerful. She's she's a powerful, passionate woman who is going to teach what she's been
654. 2:02:38learning. That is literally the definition of of generous leadership is is share people what's working, what's
655. 2:02:44not working, things like that. Um, weekend homework, I would go play with Claude Designer. It's it's a new
656. 2:02:55paradigm. It's a new something. It's not um it's not an LLM as we as we know it. It's an LLM in conjunction with a design
657. 2:03:05system. So, go play with that. Start understanding what that is and what it looks like. If been if you've been using
658. 2:03:12AI tools in Figma, it's probably similar, but it it doesn't have the whole world of of templates that you go
659. 2:03:20pick what you want. I want to do a card. I want to do this. I want to do that. Again, we're just in this world where
660. 2:03:25you can just ask for [ __ ] now and it will go invent it. So, I would go explore with that all weekend. And then
661. 2:03:32finally, especially if there's there's some people who here who are back that used to be here, please go into the AI salon mighty
662. 2:03:41network. So So Brandon, if you could pop up the URL, community.thesalon.ai and go look for the ambassador
663. 2:03:48application. So we're looking we're starting an ambassador program. So people who um can represent the AI salon
664. 2:03:57at local events and online and within the AI salon community like welcoming people, things like that. But we also if
665. 2:04:05you're an AI ambassador, we're doing we want to do things that amplify you that make you more visible, tell your
666. 2:04:12stories, capture your stories and promote you and and do things like that. So the ambassador program, we're just
667. 2:04:18designing it right now. We just want to understand who's interested in being an ambassador. So if you love the AI salon
668. 2:04:25and you want to be an ambassador and you want us to help market you and who you are, join join the ambassador pro or
669. 2:04:32just you know fill out the form that you're interested in it in it and as we design it um we'll bring you into the
670. 2:04:40conversation. All right. Beautiful. It's in salon announcements by the way in that channel in salon announcements.
671. 2:04:48Okay, everyone. Fantastic. Hope you had fun tonight. Um Oh, wait. We have one more thing. Let's go look and see if Yeah, the uh the the next
672. 2:05:00um notebook LM of the AI learning lab has has rendered. So, let's see if it sucks. That's such a pessimistic Let's see if
673. 2:05:15it sucks. That's that's a very Gen X kind of way of I'll assume it sucks until it doesn't. Prove to me you're not going to suck.
674. 2:05:25Early generative AI flooded the internet with a very specific kind of highly produced absurdity. You could command a
675. 2:05:33computer to write a country song about purple pickles or render a hyperrealistic clip of a dog cruning
676. 2:05:40into a microphone. Kyle Shannon launched the AI learning lab as a nightly live streamed project to track these bizarre
677. 2:05:47tech updates. But over three years, these reviews transformed into something else. >> Wait, sea slug of doom. Like the Rolling
678. 2:05:54Stones used the Hell Angels, Hell's Angels as security. That kind of ambassador. That's exactly what we're looking for. Yes.
679. 2:06:01>> A support group for a quiet creeping human crisis. To understand how this technology forces us to redefine our
680. 2:06:08purpose, we have to map out the five distinct eras of the last 3 years. In mid 2023, the arrival of chat GPT meant
681. 2:06:17anyone with a keyboard possessed the baseline ability to write code, draft professional essays, and analyze complex
682. 2:06:25data sets. This graph represents the traditional path to technical mastery. But look at how the 10,000hour rule is
683. 2:06:32suddenly intersected by a sharp drop to near zero time. Skills that used to take years to acquire were democratized in an
684. 2:06:40afternoon. While this felt like a period of newfound superpowers, it also began the process of turning specialized human.
685. 2:06:48>> See sl of doom. Dang vocal fry. I know it's pretty bad, isn't it? >> Expertise into a cheap, abundant
686. 2:06:54commodity. By 2024, text evolved into highfidelity audio and video. Multimodal platforms like Sora, Sunno, and
687. 2:07:02Mitjourney allowed users to spin up entire environments from a single prompt. These tools weren't perfect.
688. 2:07:09They were often surreal and glitchy. Kyle and his community learned to embrace the jank, the philosophy of
689. 2:07:15accepting these hallucinations as a playground for experimentation rather than a technical failure. Solo creators
690. 2:07:22used this playful mentality to stitch these imperfect tools together. A single person could now build massive
691. 2:07:29>> All right, that one's that one's in the neighborhood of usable. So, um, cool, Groovy. I know it's late. Um, have a
692. 2:07:37fantastic weekend, everybody. Um, appreciate you being here and hanging out. Uh, have a good night. Have a good
693. 2:07:43weekend. And I will see you Monday. And then next week's going to be light. So, plan on stuff other than this. You deserve it. Bye.
694. 2:07:55Let's see. Ending there. Oops. It's fast.
