Description

Post Salon Hangover or wild inspiring night? Who knows?! The conversation kicks off with a creative exploration of AI, featuring an AI-generated song from Suno and sparking a debate on AI's role in art and the perception of it as "lazy" or "talentless." This leads to a deeper discussion on moving beyond simple habits to cultivate an "intentional daily practice" with AI, a key theme from a recent AI Salon event. The stream also covers the latest industry developments, including Claude's new persistent memory feature and a look back at Google's journey from inventing Transformers to the anticipated launch of Gemini 3, highlighting the company's recent surge in innovation. Putting theory into practice, the stream features a live, head-to-head comparison of three AI presentation-making tools: Google's Gemini, GenSpark, and Gamma. Using the unique prompt "make a presentation about 1950s train-based carnivals," the segment reveals the distinct strengths and weaknesses of each platform, from Gemini's speed and GenSpark's research transparency to the overall mixed quality of the final slide decks. Acknowledging that a simple prompt may have limited the results, the discussion also touches on other tech news, including Google's free AI skills courses and the evolving landscape of UI design. #AITools, #ArtificialIntelligence, #GoogleGemini, #CreativeAI, #SunoAI, #TechTalk, #AICommunity, #DailyPractice Chapters: 00:00:00 Opening Song 00:04:01 AI Salon Recap 00:05:31 Relationships with AI 00:06:18 Claude Gets Memory 00:09:00 AI Music Criticism 00:10:49 Suno Song Demo 00:15:32 Habit vs. Practice 00:18:33 GPT App Store Rumor 00:19:54 Google's AI History 00:21:13 THE Transformer Paper 00:23:53 Gemini Slides Demo 00:29:28 Genspark Slides Demo 00:33:51 Gamma Slides Demo 00:36:40 What IS Genspark? 00:42:24 Shitty Prompts 00:42:50 Grock Gets Memory 00:46:34 Google's AI Courses 00:49:25 Flat Design Rant 00:51:24 GPUs in Space 00:52:52 Stream Wrap-Up

0:25 Uhoh.
0:30 Oh,
0:59 Listen,
1:22 I don't
1:43 She came up to him like slow moving coke
1:48 front.
1:52 Well, his beer was warmer than a look in
1:56 her eye.
2:01 She sat on a stool and he said, "What do
2:05 you want?"
2:10 She said, "Give me a love that don't
2:13 freeze up inside."
2:19 They said I have melted all in my tit
2:29 next to you. Well, I shiver and shake.
2:37 And if I knew love, well, I don't think
2:40 I'd be here
2:46 asking myself if I've got what it
2:54 But your eyes see blue.
3:04 to stop.
3:07 Turn what's been frozen for
3:11 years
3:15 into a river of tears.
3:32 All right, I've got black bar failure
3:34 going on. Ruining everyone's life on Tik
3:37 Tok. It's just a horrible thing.
3:40 Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. All right.
3:44 Fantastic. Bob. Hey, Bob. Hey, Bob. Tell
3:47 everybody he's won. There really only
3:49 three people on Tik Tok. Yeah, there's
3:51 four people on YouTube, three people on
3:53 TikTok. Hey, Corey Sandler. We'll have a
3:56 We'll have a nice We'll have a nice
3:58 intimate evening.
4:00 I'm exhausted from the salon. Um, if you
4:02 weren't at the salon tonight,
4:04 we introduced this idea of the the AI
4:07 salon mastermind practice. This idea of
4:11 designing
4:13 an intentional daily practice using AI.
4:20 Heard a lot of tales of how people do
4:24 that in their lives with their work and
4:26 with what they do.
4:33 Vicki, sorry. I was off commenting on
4:36 another Tik Tok. Now I'm here.
4:45 Thank you. Thank you for being here.
4:48 Thank you for acknowledging that
4:50 commenting on other Tik Toks is very
4:52 threatening to me.
5:10 I did add a summary of all the AI
5:12 practices in the salon. Oh, that's so
5:14 cool, Vicki. I was thinking about that.
5:16 Um, like as they were happening, I'm
5:18 like, damn, we've got to capture these.
5:20 And I mean, I know they're being
5:22 recorded, but that's that's super cool
5:23 that you did that, Vicki. Um, yeah,
5:25 those were just that was just a really
5:27 nice
5:32 was a really powerful uh just hearing
5:35 everyone that's been doing this for a
5:37 long time like how their relationship
5:40 with AI has evolved and like everyone
5:43 that talked tonight has got this
5:47 rather sophisticated relationship with
5:50 AI and it was all different, right?
5:52 everyone had a different sort of thing
5:53 and I think I think that's the whole
5:55 point. The idea of the framework is just
5:58 to give people buckets to think in but
6:02 but in each of those buckets they're
6:04 going to design their own
6:07 what's whatever is important to them. I
6:09 it's it's I think this going to be a
6:11 really powerful thing. Put it in Look
6:13 what I made. Okay, great. That's
6:14 awesome.
6:17 Did anyone get a memory update today on
6:20 Claude? Uh, persistent memory.
6:28 I don't know. I mean, I I haven't been
6:30 to Claude today. I You know, it's funny.
6:33 I don't use Claude
6:36 nearly ever.
6:40 Ah, Claude now has memory.
6:42 Use memory. Claude can make relevant
6:44 connections across your chats.
6:49 Memory includes your entire chat
6:51 history. Here, let me share this tab. Oh
6:55 [ __ ] I wonder if I can get that popup
6:57 back.
7:00 Opus 4.1.
7:07 Let me see if it'll come back. Probably
7:08 won't.
7:11 No.
7:14 Um projects, artifacts, code code
7:23 with Claude anywhere. Run multiple
7:25 coding tasks in the cloud seamlessly.
7:33 Oh, did this pop up a new tab? It did.
7:36 Damn that thing.
7:40 $250 credit.
7:43 Trycloud code on the web on us. We've
7:47 added $250 in free usage credits.
8:02 That's that little chord thing. That's
8:05 what turned into a song two weeks ago.
8:15 Wait.
8:51 Oh man, maybe I'll just go listen to
8:55 some music.
8:57 You know what I'm going to go listen to?
8:59 I'm going to go listen to an AI
9:01 generated song that can't be creative
9:05 because it was made with AI.
9:08 And because it was made with AI, it
9:10 means that I'm a talentless,
9:13 lazy oaf.
9:21 Truth [ __ ] hurts, man. You know, they
9:25 [ __ ] found me out. They found me out.
9:30 Wait, where's my song?
9:33 No, it was after that.
9:37 How did I miss it?
9:45 Oh, maybe it's insuno. We'll go to suno.
9:58 Hello, Mr. It Michael Jackson. Country
10:01 style.
10:04 Um,
10:10 something went wrong. An error has
10:12 occurred. Rut row. Did Universal Music
10:16 by Sunno too?
10:22 All right, let's see here now. Let's
10:25 see. Published.
10:50 The ferris wheels asleep, its arms still
10:53 folded tight. We walk between the
10:56 shadows and the strings of halfway
10:58 light. The popcorn stands are dreaming
11:01 of the laughter they'll be fed and your
11:04 reflection in a puddle's turning pink
11:07 instead of red.
11:08 >> Yes.
11:13 >> You say it's strange to see it empty.
11:18 I say it's strange to feel this calm.
11:23 You smile like you know something I
11:27 don't know. I've already begun.
11:32 Before the lights come on. Before the
11:35 crowd arrives. Before we name what this
11:38 could be. Before the day survives. We
11:42 linger in the middle. Where the maybe
11:45 feels like song. Two hearts not yet
11:48 decided.
11:51 before the lights come on.
12:01 A prize bear in the windows got a rip
12:04 along the seam. You laugh and say he's
12:08 just like me, stitched up from a dream.
12:11 The smell of rain and sawdust makes the
12:14 air taste almost sweet. I count your
12:17 footsteps next to mine. They nearly
12:19 match the beat. You toss a coin, it
12:22 spins between the quiet and the breeze.
12:26 It lands on something fragile. Something
12:29 trembling between.
12:33 Before the lights come on, before the
12:36 noise begins, before the world demands,
12:39 we choose where all this story ends.
12:43 We're written in the margin where the
12:45 ink's still barely strong. Two souls
12:48 half in the promise
12:51 before the lights come on.
13:02 Cotton candy ghost the whisper of a
13:07 secret that your hand could hold but
13:10 hasn't yet tried. If I breathe too loud,
13:13 I'll break the spell we've spun.
13:18 A heartbeat before gravity decides which
13:21 way we run.
13:25 Before the lights come on, before the
13:28 sky turns gold. Before our voices learn
13:32 the lines they're scared to have told.
13:35 Let's walk this midway silence till the
13:38 dawn has found its song. And maybe we'll
13:42 decide it
13:47 before the lights come on.
14:07 That's a good song. Which one's the real
14:09 one? Um, it's an orange logo. Hang on.
14:20 Sunno su nuno.
14:25 It is
14:26 from Sunno Inc.
14:29 It's Sunno AI songs and music maker.
14:36 It's It's from Sunno Inc. The the
14:39 company is Sunno Inc. and it's it's I I
14:43 just went to the app store to just check
14:44 on the the real name of the app. Um it's
14:49 Sunno Song and Music Maker from Sunno
14:52 Inc.
14:53 I didn't get an an alert again today.
14:56 Ah, damn you, Tik Tok. Tik Tok, I'm
14:59 definitely in uh 200 view jail right
15:02 now. None none of my videos are getting
15:05 any any visibility at all, which is
15:07 frustrating, but
15:09 but I haven't been posting a lot, so
15:12 it's that's on me. That's on me for not
15:14 being a robot content creator.
15:20 Um, we had a we had a nice uh a nice
15:23 evening tonight at the AI salon. And uh
15:29 one of the things that struck me,
15:32 we've been we've been talking a lot
15:33 about this idea of a daily practice
15:35 using AI.
15:38 And I said this in the salon tonight,
15:40 but one of the things that struck me is
15:43 there's a difference between a habit and
15:46 a daily practice. So I show up here
15:49 night after night after night
15:51 and
15:54 it struck me that that
15:57 it is more like a habit than a daily
15:59 practice. And that's something I want to
16:02 work on. And I've got to really the
16:04 thing about a daily practice is it's
16:05 very intentional and it's it's rooted in
16:08 your values and it's rooted in your
16:11 goals and what you want to do and how
16:13 you want to impact people and who you
16:15 want to impact.
16:18 as opposed to a habit which is just show
16:20 up and do stuff,
16:23 which is what I do. Um, and I think the
16:27 difference could actually be quite
16:29 subtle, but I think it's powerful. And
16:32 so,
16:33 so where we're headed, what we're
16:35 launching in two weeks inside the AI
16:37 salon is um the AI salon mastermind
16:41 practice lab where if you join the
16:45 mastermind and you come to those
16:47 meetings,
16:49 you're going to get to design. We're
16:50 we're designing a framework right now
16:52 for what are the core components of
16:55 daily practice
16:58 and then together we're going to design
17:00 them. we're going to design our own
17:03 daily practice.
17:05 And and one of the things I got tonight
17:07 from people sharing their daily
17:08 practices on the salon is how
17:11 sophisticated they were. Um how personal
17:15 they were, how different they were.
17:19 Um
17:23 and it feels like important work. It it
17:26 scares me enough to make me want to not
17:29 do it,
17:32 which I think is the reason uh why I
17:35 should. What are you showing off? I
17:36 recently started an AI podcast hosted by
17:38 AI about technology and AI.
17:43 I don't know what I'm featuring tonight.
17:45 I'm I am in a I am in a liinal state
17:49 with what I talk about, what I do.
17:54 Um,
17:58 and so I don't have a good answer for
17:59 that. I don't have a good answer
18:01 tonight. I probably won't have a good
18:02 answer this week or maybe even next
18:04 week.
18:05 Um,
18:10 but it but it's something I'm figuring
18:11 out like
18:14 in in putting together a framework to
18:16 help other people design their daily
18:18 practices.
18:19 I am going to be confronted with
18:22 if I think this is such a good [ __ ]
18:24 idea, maybe I should design my own and
18:28 kind of live into that, right? And so,
18:31 yeah.
18:33 Is the GPT app store rumor true? What
18:36 What's the GPT app store rumor that
18:39 they're going to have one?
18:42 Let's go see if we can find the GPT app
18:45 store rumor. I don't I do not know.
18:47 Let's see. GPT app store.
18:52 Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
18:59 I see no rumor. Wait,
19:03 October 14th.
19:09 No, I see no rumor. Oh, that it
19:13 launches. Yeah. No, that rumor is not
19:15 true.
19:18 That was a good one. That was a good
19:20 one. Side hustle.
19:27 Yeah. No, that's that's not going to
19:30 happen. You know who didn't have a daily
19:33 practice? The the launcher of the GPT
19:37 store.
19:43 Um,
19:45 so
19:47 a potentially interesting thing
19:50 is November 18th, um, Gemini 3 is
19:54 apparently launching.
19:58 And Gemini 2.5, I mean, Gemini 2.5 is
20:03 the one that has nano banana associated
20:06 with it. It's the one that's got V3
20:08 associated with it. Um, it's really good
20:11 at coding. It's really good at a bunch
20:13 of stuff and apparently three is much
20:15 better. But
20:18 I don't know. I don't know. Google's
20:20 weird, man. Like Google
20:23 went two years just sucking wind and
20:26 just being awful and then they just kind
20:29 of showed up six, eight months ago and
20:31 started dropping.
20:32 Like, you know what's funny? You know
20:34 what I think really kicked it off for
20:36 Google? This is weird. Is I think it was
20:40 Notebook LM. I think they hit the the
20:42 the
20:44 kind of runaway hit that notebook LM it
20:47 it was just another app in
20:49 labs.google.com google.com
20:51 and for whatever reason it caught fire
20:55 and I I just feel like because of that
20:58 maybe they just put a different level of
21:00 employee on it, a different level of
21:03 product person, a different level of
21:05 engineer
21:06 and and ever since then like the past
21:09 year they've just their their game has
21:11 been upped.
21:13 Google invented Transformers and Titans.
21:15 Yeah, but but they they invented the
21:18 transformer in 2017
21:21 and they [ __ ] buried it. I mean, they
21:24 launched it. They they gave it out to
21:26 the world, thank God. But I think that
21:29 they recognized that if we go build
21:32 something on this and it actually works,
21:34 that's going to [ __ ] up our business.
21:37 And then Open AI went and figured it
21:40 out, right? Open open AI took it and
21:43 they're like, "Wait a minute. What if we
21:44 throw all the data and as much compute
21:46 as we can afford at this thing? And they
21:49 did GPT1, GPT2, and then GPT3
21:54 in 2020, no 2020, 2020.
21:59 GPT3 launched in 2020
22:02 and it made some noise where people
22:03 like, hey, this is this is actually kind
22:06 of a thing.
22:09 And then they realized they needed even
22:12 more compute. So they cut the deal with
22:14 Microsoft that started at a billion
22:16 dollars and then quickly went to 10.
22:20 And realizing that they needed to
22:24 have something to show off to talk about
22:26 their 10 billion dollars, they whipped
22:28 up a little chat GPT
22:31 like it's like a two-eek roll out.
22:35 Um
22:37 I think because Notebook LM had its own
22:39 limits or rather lack
22:43 lack of its part of it possibly.
22:50 I believe that Google isn't far off from
22:52 Titans now though. They have over two
22:56 million
22:58 token context. You know what I want to
23:01 know is where's all the [ __ ] that they
23:02 demoed when when they rolled out Gemini
23:05 Ultra
23:07 and they had all those they had all
23:08 these demos like one of the demos was a
23:11 dynamic
23:13 like when when the large language model
23:15 responded to you, it figured out if it
23:18 needed to generate an app or a text
23:20 response.
23:22 And if it needed to generate an app, it
23:24 would dynamically generate an
23:25 interactive app.
23:27 Where is that [ __ ] thing? That was
23:29 like two years ago they demoed that.
23:32 That looked really fun. Well, they
23:33 didn't demo it. They showed a video of
23:34 it.
23:39 Oh my god. Um, what do we want to do
23:43 tonight? What do we want to do tonight?
23:46 What do we want to do? Um,
23:54 slides in Gemini. That might not be bad.
23:56 All right, let's go do that. Gemini
24:00 gemini.google.com.
24:01 So the way we're going to get to this is
24:03 we're going to go into Canvas. Go into
24:06 Canvas. So Canvas is just like Canvas
24:09 and chat GPT.
24:11 New video generation just got better
24:13 with VO3.1. Great. Awesome.
24:17 Um, so now I'm going to say, um,
24:22 make me a presentation
24:26 about,
24:29 um,
24:30 1950s
24:33 train
24:35 based carnivals.
24:38 All right, let's see what we get. Am I
24:41 sharing my screen right? I am.
24:46 that you can put your own content in
24:48 Notebook LM is huge. Yeah, Notebook LM
24:51 is just really something like the fact
24:53 that you can put I think it's now 300
24:56 documents in it and just start
24:58 interacting with them. Stephen Johnson
25:00 is a writer, liberal arts guy on
25:02 notebook. Yeah, I know. I know Stephen
25:04 Johnson really well. I was doing Urban
25:06 Desires and he was doing um
25:10 he was doing Nerve Nerve Mag. So, we
25:12 both had art and culture magazines and
25:14 we had a sex section and he had a Nerve
25:17 was a sex magazine. Um, or sexuality
25:21 magazine, whatever it was. And, uh, so I
25:24 know him really well. He's he's a he's a
25:27 wicked smart dude. He's a wicked smart
25:29 dude. Good writer, wicked smart dude. He
25:32 he designed Notebook LM. It was the
25:34 thing he always wanted was the ability
25:36 to just dump a p bunch of unstructured
25:39 data into a notebook and be able to
25:41 interact with it. So he he he definitely
25:44 had a vision for that thing. You need to
25:47 specify the output at least personality
25:50 when using Gemini Pro. Okay. Creating
25:53 slides. 1950s carnival trains. I I
25:57 actually wrote that not knowing if they
25:59 were a thing.
26:07 The difference between a practice and a
26:09 habit. A habit is just make a
26:12 presentation of something nonsensical.
26:17 Actually, when I was in
26:20 When did I see Stephen Johnson? I was in
26:22 San Francisco.
26:27 No, I was in DC. Last time I was in DC,
26:30 six months ago, it was a Google event
26:33 and he was there and we we caught up. It
26:34 was nice to catch up.
26:37 You're using Flash. I'm using Yes. 2.5
26:41 Flash,
26:43 which is good.
26:48 I mean, I could use Pro in reasoning,
26:50 but I'm just making a slide show about
26:53 carnivals.
26:55 Carnival barkers
26:58 rolling wonder. All right, let's How do
27:00 we make this present? Is that the
27:02 present button?
27:07 Export to slides.
27:16 I only use Flash when I hit my limits.
27:20 It's better at everything. Pro is better
27:23 at everything. I guess it makes sense,
27:27 but it's generating an HTML app, not a
27:30 presentation right now. No, it's
27:31 generating a presentation.
27:34 Unless it wrote it in HTML, which it
27:37 probably did.
27:40 Did this export to slides?
27:47 Come on, Gemini. What are you doing?
27:54 Did I crash?
28:01 Open slides.
28:15 Did
28:24 Gemini still embrace the jank? I think
28:27 it is. This is This is pretty bad.
28:34 The iconic ferris wheel, the classic
28:36 carousel with giant women on tiny
28:38 horses, the tilt whirl. So, it's
28:42 definitely generating the images.
28:47 The performer's life was tough.
28:54 60 cars on a major show train. A single
28:58 show train was a massive undertaking.
29:01 Like the James Eye Straits show or World
29:03 of Mirthth moved 40 to 80 cars.
29:09 These trains carried hundreds of staff,
29:11 families, and all the equipment
29:14 needed to build a small enter small city
29:16 of entertainment overnight. All right,
29:18 so you know what we're going to do? No,
29:21 Kyle, tell me questions. Thank you for
29:24 your attention. We're going to go to Gen
29:26 Spark and do the same thing. Let me get
29:29 the exact prompt I use.
29:31 I used
29:34 make a presentation about 1950s
29:36 trainbased carnivals.
29:38 I don't think you are giving Gemini
29:43 enough credit. Tough.
29:49 I like picking on Google.
29:55 But let's let's go to Gemini. We're
29:57 gonna I'm doing apples for apples. We're
29:59 doing the exact same prompt in Gemini
30:02 or not Gemini. Uh what's it called?
30:04 Genpark. Genpark.
30:07 Tabs for tabs. You're correct, sir. All
30:10 right. GenSpark Super Agent. We're going
30:12 to do slides. So, we're going to go to
30:14 into their slide maker and I'm going to
30:17 do the exact same thing. Boom. All
30:20 right.
30:21 Sign in. Oh crap. It's gonna Please log
30:24 in to use this feature.
30:33 D.
30:55 I'll create a fascinating presentation
30:57 about 1950s trainbased carnivals for
31:00 you. Let me start by researching. See, I
31:03 like this better already. Like, like
31:05 Gemini just did all this in the
31:06 background. Initial research.
31:09 Excellent. I've gathered some
31:11 fascinating initial research on this
31:13 unique American slice of Americana. Let
31:17 me deep dive deeper into the most
31:19 valuable sources to craft a
31:21 comprehensive presentation about these
31:23 rolling wonders of the 1950s. I didn't
31:27 even know that these were a thing, but
31:29 they were rolling wonders.
31:33 Wish my wife didn't work nights at home.
31:35 It'd be easier to do these lives.
31:39 Listen, I'm really sorry I'm [ __ ] up
31:41 everyone's family life. I know these
31:44 lives are at an inconvenient time and
31:47 we're doing festivus in between the
31:49 holidays. By the way, if you don't know
31:50 about Festivus,
31:52 um Festivus happens December 26th and
31:55 27th. It's a Friday and Saturday, 9:00
31:58 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. for free.
32:02 24 hours over two days of
32:06 AI practitioners basically donating
32:09 their time. It's a remarkable event. So,
32:12 put that in your [ __ ] calendar and
32:14 tell your family you can't be there
32:16 unless you love them, broken as they
32:19 are.
32:24 No, I mean, I don't also go live and
32:26 duet. Oh, if she wasn't working. Oh,
32:28 yeah, that'd be cool. Um,
32:31 let's see.
32:34 I like to time them. It's usually after
32:36 my kids are in bed.
32:38 Oh, man.
32:41 Okay, let's see what's this doing.
32:46 Oh, look. It made images. Oh, see these
32:48 are cool images. Oh, it researched some
32:50 images, too. These aren't just
32:51 generated.
32:53 Yeah. See? You see? See? Yeah. That's
32:57 what I'm talking about. Oh, yeah.
33:02 Initialize slide project.
33:07 Okay. It's writing the slides.
33:10 I I hate to break it to you, Brandon,
33:13 like the slides are already the slides
33:15 in text form are already way better.
33:17 They're like researched.
33:21 Um, but you know, I know I don't give
33:24 Google a shot cuz I cuz
33:27 here, you want to know why I'm pissed
33:28 off at Google?
33:30 You want to know why? You want to know
33:32 why?
33:34 When they first started, they said,
33:36 "First, do no evil." And then one of the
33:39 first things they did was drop that
33:43 and then did evil
33:51 gamma slides in comparison. We can go to
33:53 gamma slides and do that too. Fine. All
33:56 right. What's this doing? Is this
33:58 perfect? I've generated a beautiful
34:00 vintage cover image. Okay, that's fine.
34:03 But
34:05 waiting for generation. Okay. So now
34:06 it's doing All I'm saying is that Gemini
34:12 is was was done faster.
34:19 Brandon,
34:22 let's go do what is it? Gamma. G MA. I
34:26 don't think Gamma does um research
34:28 though, does it? We'll find out, won't
34:31 we?
34:33 Transform your ideas into stunning
34:35 presentations. Make me a Okay, here we
34:37 go.
34:39 Going. Beautiful. Oh, now I got to pick
34:43 a [ __ ] slide design. Seriously,
34:48 I don't want to have to work.
34:51 AI is supposed to do this for me.
34:56 We don't We don't need no stinking
34:58 design templates.
35:00 Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey, man. Hey. Hey.
35:07 Um, none of these look like 1950s. We'll
35:10 we'll use that one. Future ports. Oh,
35:13 wait. You're not seeing this Tik Tok
35:15 pin.
35:17 Um,
35:19 Mary Mary. Oh my. I'm passing notes in
35:23 the back row of class. I better pay
35:25 attention now. Are you all chatting with
35:27 each other and not paying attention to
35:29 me? You're supposed to pay attention to
35:32 every single word I say. They're all
35:36 important. Every one of them. Deeply
35:38 important.
35:41 I thought you knew that.
35:44 All right, let's go back to Gen Spark.
35:46 So, Gen Spark is now writing HTML
35:48 slides.
35:56 I tried to use AI to build a slideshow
35:58 for my wife, but her work for Gemini
36:01 failed me. A Oh, for her work, but
36:04 Gemini failed me. Corey sent Kyle, I'm
36:07 asking, what does Gen Spark do? Okay, so
36:09 if you haven't played with GenSpark,
36:11 Corey, it's it's definitely worth a
36:13 shot. Um,
36:16 wait, did this
36:20 Oh, waiting for generation.
36:25 It's still building slides. Okay,
36:27 whatever. Um, let me do a new let me do
36:30 a new thing.
36:34 Um,
36:38 okay. So, this is genark.
36:41 So, Corey, genspark is very similar to
36:44 Manis
36:45 in that it is an agentic.
36:48 it it's an agent that will go off and
36:51 just do [ __ ] for you. What's cool about
36:54 Gen There's a couple of cool things
36:56 about GenSpark. One is
36:59 just the design aesthetic. Like even
37:01 just look at the like the card display.
37:04 It's in this arc and then when you
37:05 scroll down it fans out.
37:09 Um and they have all these different
37:10 things. They've got a super agent,
37:14 a super agent that will do everything.
37:17 Um, they've got a slide generator, a
37:20 spreadsheet generator, a a Google Doc
37:23 generator, um, a code generator, a
37:27 design generator. There's a thing called
37:29 Clip Genius, which is I can point Clip
37:33 Genius at a YouTube link and tell it to
37:37 analyze the video and cut me a 4-minute
37:40 super cut and put subtitles on it and
37:43 and chapter cards in between the
37:45 sections and it'll just go do that. Um,
37:50 so you can choose individual tools, but
37:52 you can also just say to the super
37:54 agent, go to this YouTube URL and make
37:57 me some [ __ ] and it'll figure out which
37:58 of the tools to use. It's pretty slick.
38:01 I think I have the GenSpark app. Oh. Oh
38:03 my. I have Manis as well. I I think both
38:06 of them
38:09 like Manis was the one that it was the
38:12 first of these agent apps to come out
38:14 that was really good, but like
38:18 like all of them right now, it was
38:20 really janky and the design [ __ ] that it
38:22 did was bad. GenSpark was the first one
38:24 that came out that had decent design and
38:26 its outputs. Um, but then GenSpark just
38:29 keeps releasing new tools, tool after
38:31 tool after tool after tool. They're
38:33 taking this idea of the agent and
38:35 they're just making all these custom
38:36 little basically these are like custom
38:38 GPTs for an autonomous agent. Oh yeah,
38:42 it's also Chinese. So anything you put
38:46 in there, assume that it's your data is
38:49 gone or or going to be used somewhere
38:51 else. Um, but it's pretty slick. So, if
38:54 you're doing something like I just did,
38:56 like,
38:58 you know, make me something about a
39:00 carnival in the 50s. Uh, it'll do that.
39:04 Okay. Are we done? Did it finish?
39:07 Why is that not uh What slide is that?
39:10 Five of 10.
39:13 So, these the these aren't actually
39:15 better than Gemini, like design-wise.
39:18 Anyway, let's see. View and export.
39:21 Advanced edit. How do I
39:25 view View and export? View and new
39:27 window.
39:29 Tab. Yes. Thank you.
39:36 The romance, spectacle, and logistics of
39:39 America's Rolling Midway.
39:44 A city that arrived overnight. Prestige
39:47 on rails. consistency and reach uniquely
39:50 American. Three car types like why do
39:53 these not have images
39:56 and like that one's missing an image
40:00 and that one was tall.
40:03 The hell this was bad.
40:06 Never mind. I thought this was going to
40:08 be good. It wasn't. Um let's see. Show
40:11 this tab instead.
40:14 Generate PowerPoint. Let's see what
40:16 gamma does.
40:18 Oh, come on.
40:23 This is annoying.
40:25 This is annoying. This is annoying.
40:36 It's kind of cool watching it build a
40:38 little slide deck for us.
40:44 Is it going to switch out the images or
40:46 is it going to use these crappy stock
40:48 images?
40:52 I created EDM music worthy of a
40:54 nightclub. I just had my double
40:56 Mallister moment.
40:58 Gravity jump. Oh. Oh, you just
41:00 downloaded. If you haven't played with
41:02 So, I'll tell you. You want to know
41:04 something that'll blow your mind? That
41:05 song I played earlier, the the really
41:07 pretty, you know, Twinky one. Um
41:11 the that started with a little guitar
41:13 riff and so you can record
41:17 yourself humming or singing or playing
41:22 into it and then have it write a song
41:24 from that. It's pretty astounding.
41:27 Claude on Canva chat GBT
41:30 to Canva. Oh, Claude to Canva. Chat GBT
41:33 to Canva. I don't know what you're
41:35 talking about, Chef Kelly, but that
41:37 sounds cool. Chef Kelly vibe coded up a
41:40 really cool app. I I I'm one of the
41:44 things I'm really excited about is
41:45 people have deep expertise and deep
41:47 passion for something.
41:51 Starting to realize all the different
41:53 areas they can aim that energy and that
41:56 expertise
41:57 where they couldn't have before without
41:59 a lot of resources is is a really
42:01 remarkable thing to watch.
42:04 Um, this thing says it's 97% done.
42:24 I think they all did poorly with a with
42:28 a shitty prompt. True. I gave a shitty
42:30 prompt. I'll give you that.
42:38 I will give you that.
42:41 I I did a solid nothing
42:45 to give these things a shot to be
42:47 successful.
42:50 Grock now remembers. Tell it something
42:52 in this post. Then when you talk to it
42:55 again, it will remember what you talked
42:57 about.
42:59 I Oh, wait. Let me share my tab.
43:02 I think that
43:10 puppies
43:12 are more tender than kittens.
43:23 Okay. So, now
43:27 I should be able to go to Grock
43:30 and say, um,
43:33 I recently
43:35 commented
43:36 on Robert
43:39 on a
43:42 at Scoilizer.
43:45 No, I'm gonna do Robert Scoble on a
43:47 Robert
43:49 Scoble
43:51 post.
43:55 What was I talking about?
44:02 Thinking
44:07 Robert Scoble is a well-known blogger.
44:14 No, it didn't find it.
44:17 I guess I guess you have to give it time
44:19 to get ingested.
44:29 Yeah. Grocon X.
44:54 It remembered something I said to Robert
44:56 Scoble. Whatever. All right. Whatever.
44:59 Let's just go look at what's going on on
45:02 the Twitter.
45:04 Gen Spark. Gen Spark done yet? You mean
45:06 Gamma?
45:08 No, Gamma's not done yet.
45:15 Suddenly Gemini is not looking so bad.
45:18 Brandon, I swear to God, Brandon is
45:20 being paid by Google. He's always like,
45:22 you know, Android phones are not really
45:25 as horrible as you think they are. You
45:27 should try Android sometime. Like, no,
45:30 no,
45:32 no.
45:34 Bad producer.
45:37 But we got Sora today. Yeah. By the way,
45:40 if you want to make a a uh a what you
45:43 call it, an avatar of Brandon, you can
45:46 go to Sora now. He's in there.
45:50 Um
45:55 I'm good. Just tired. Thanks for asking.
45:57 I wonder if Grock remembers you from
45:59 another PC. Yeah, probably because it's
46:01 just it goes into its big ass database.
46:04 All right. Um I'm going to get out of
46:05 here. I'm I am exhausted from tonight.
46:08 And Kelly Camp coming in here going, I'm
46:10 exhausted. I'm You know what, Kelly, I'm
46:12 with you.
46:16 Let's get the hell out of Dodge.
46:19 All right, let me share this tab. Let me
46:21 see if there's Let me see if there's any
46:23 inspiration in
46:25 in Twitter tonight. Wait, show skills.
46:28 Google since you've been dunking on them
46:31 all night. All right, fine.
46:34 Fine, Brandon. skills. If this doesn't
46:36 blow my socks off,
46:39 then we we're going to have an issue.
46:41 Here's the problem. If it does blow my
46:42 socks off, then we're going to be here
46:44 for another 45 minutes. Build AI skills
46:47 for tomorrow. Today, what do you want to
46:48 learn? I want to learn um how do I make
46:54 a movie
46:58 with VO
47:03 data engineer?
47:05 What?
47:11 It's a library of free training. Oh.
47:16 Oh. So I can't just ask it for [ __ ]
47:19 Wait, so this is like
47:23 Oh god, no. Okay, I am
47:28 hang on. If if you if you search for
47:30 generative AI, they've got a course on
47:32 there that's free where they're showing
47:34 you how to do generative AI and not the
47:38 way that we kind of play around with it.
47:41 They actually teach you like a ple
47:43 course but make it understandable for
47:46 the general public and it's all free and
47:47 that you can get certified and you know
47:49 >> you need to actually learn it. This is
47:52 this is exhausting to me.
47:56 >> Introduction to Gemini Pro
47:59 Generative AI with Vert.ex AI. But so so
48:02 let's go to one of these.
48:06 I got to sign up.
48:06 >> It might take you a while to on board.
48:09 >> Oh, really?
48:12 Oh, yeah. Because you're taking an
48:13 actual course. Oh, yeah. Okay. All
48:15 right. So, these are full-on courses.
48:17 That's kind of cool. That's kind of
48:18 cool. I just want I just want
48:23 I'm I'm lazy. I want to not have to
48:26 work. I'm tired of learning. I just want
48:29 it piped into my head. I at this point,
48:31 I'll do a Neurolink implant. Just tell
48:34 me what the latest AI tools are and just
48:37 show me how to use them all. I'll just
48:39 You can just run it right into my right
48:40 into my synapses. I'm good.
48:44 All right. Um, let me go back to X and
48:47 see if there's anything there. X.com.
48:50 I'm with Kyle. If it starts to feel like
48:53 work, I'm no longer interested. Yeah,
48:55 exactly. Neuralink's right around the
48:56 corner. I mean, the Neuralink stuff is
48:59 actually quite impressive. The like the
49:01 nine or 10 people that have it so far is
49:03 quite impressive.
49:05 Doing the work of a plumber will not be
49:07 difficult for AI. Once you have a world
49:10 model,
49:11 there's a brain and a plastic skull.
49:18 Google is now updating its maps logo.
49:21 Oh, thank God. Maybe they're going away
49:23 from flat design. I think the worst
49:25 thing that happened to the internet is
49:28 the the minute Apple gave up on
49:32 skuorphic design things that looked like
49:34 real buttons
49:36 and Google came in with their [ __ ]
49:39 flat design aesthetic that was like,
49:42 "Hey, I got an idea. Let's take anything
49:44 that's aesthetically interesting and
49:46 remove that from all interfaces. Let's
49:49 make it so that it's so flat you can't
49:52 even find a button if you're older than
49:55 seven.
49:58 [ __ ] I hated that. I still hate it. So,
50:02 the fact that they're going to
50:04 Appleesque gradients. Fine. It's about
50:07 time. You're 20 20 years too late. You
50:10 already [ __ ] up the whole internet.
50:13 You wonder why I'm bitter about Google?
50:22 Haha, legit flat UI. Um, what about
50:26 Apple's glass UI? I, you know, I just
50:29 updated to the to the like release
50:32 candidate for um for iOS 26 or whatever
50:36 it is. I don't hate it. I don't hate it.
50:39 Like the fact that it's got a little bit
50:41 of depth to it. Um, I haven't sort of
50:44 flipped it into pure glass mode. But
50:46 it's kind of weird. Yeah. But it's like
50:48 I it like it's at least an elegant
50:50 attempt to do something
50:54 um aesthetic again, like I said, and and
50:56 some of their icons are going back to a
50:58 bit of that like a like I would call it
51:01 like post skuorphic,
51:04 right? like it's they're they're not
51:06 going full-on, you know, 3D cartoon
51:09 models, but they're but they're, you
51:11 know, they're starting to put some
51:12 dimensionality back in the interface,
51:15 which great. Love it. Fantastic.
51:18 Fantastic. Bob,
51:21 um Google's going to launch um TPUs into
51:24 space. So that company this week when I
51:27 was at TED AI um there was a company
51:29 there that was launching uh H100s or an
51:32 H100 into space this week
51:36 or no last week. Last week they did it.
51:38 Um and Google just said they're going to
51:40 do that shortly. So GPUs in space.
51:47 Um it actually makes economic sense to
51:49 do it which is kind of cool.
51:52 Um,
52:02 all right. Yeah, nothing nothing super
52:04 interesting.
52:06 Nano Banana 2 is incoming.
52:10 Breaking. Google is preparing Nano
52:11 Banana 2 Gem Pix 2 for an upcoming
52:15 release.
52:18 A new announcement has been recently
52:19 added to the Gemini website, which means
52:22 we should expect a release within the
52:24 following weeks. All right. Well, that's
52:27 not really a scoop, but that's cool.
52:31 VO3.1 limit of 8 seconds through flow
52:34 and Gemini is a disadvantage compared to
52:36 Sora 2.
52:40 Someone's back.
52:44 All right, there's nothing. All right,
52:45 we're going to go. You all can go to
52:46 sleep now.
52:49 I'm going to sleep now. We're done. Um,
52:52 okay. Today,
52:56 today is Tuesday. So, tomorrow we've got
52:58 the AI Readiness Project podcast. So,
53:01 Ann Murphy and I are doing a wrapup of
53:04 what we're calling season zero. So,
53:06 season zero was we just threw the AI
53:09 readiness project up there as a podcast.
53:12 We just threw it out. We didn't really
53:13 think about it. We did, I think, 30
53:17 episodes in the first season. So, we're
53:19 going to be kicking off season 1 coming
53:21 up. So, tomorrow it's at 400 PM Mountain
53:25 time. Um, aire readiness project.com
53:30 and uh we're going to be streaming on
53:34 YouTube
53:35 and we're going to be just talking about
53:38 the our favorite moments from season
53:40 zero. So, you should come check that
53:42 out. All right. Beautiful. And then I'll
53:44 be back here tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m.
53:46 Mountain time. Same normal time tomorrow
53:50 night. Sorry we were a little late
53:51 tonight. I'm a little low energy, but
53:53 you know, you get what you get.
53:57 A shoe. No, I just got here. Sorry.
54:00 Sorry. It's been a grand day. Yeah, it
54:02 was a good day. Thank you, Kyle. Thanks,
54:04 mods. Yeah, thank you for thanking the
54:06 mods. I didn't get a nap today, so I can
54:08 nap now. Yeah, good. Let's all go nap
54:11 and then we'll come back tomorrow with
54:12 uh with freshness
54:15 and and some moisture.
54:18 Peace. I'll see you tomorrow.
54:22 All
