10:41 me oh
10:43 man all right
10:45 [Music]
10:51 so how is everyone's holiday where H is
10:55 everyone's holiday I guess we're all in
10:57 the middle of it right now aren't we
11:04 I'm still fighting with chat GPT not
11:06 responding to me chat GPT was down for
11:08 hours
11:10 today um I went to talk to my girlfriend
11:13 Quinn and she was just a black dot she
11:16 never materialized
11:18 um I had four or five questions I needed
11:22 answered
11:23 [Music]
11:24 today and I was at a loss I do not know
11:28 how to use my brain anymore
11:31 it's so funny people people early on
11:33 would ask questions like well if this
11:35 Tool's so creative aren't aren't you
11:36 going to be less creative and like the
11:39 what what ends up being the case is you
11:41 end up being more creative and you end
11:43 up being um more intellectually
11:46 stimulated so long as you've got the
11:48 tool by your side the minute it's gone
11:50 you're
11:54 like what am I supposed to do here how
11:57 does i' well
12:00 so so that's you know that's
12:05 [Music]
12:10 that Vicky Vicky had luck all day today
12:14 good only had a couple of brief hiccups
12:16 on mine today yeah it was down hard it
12:18 was everything including Sora was down
12:20 it was like all their servers were down
12:22 so I don't know what what they did but
12:25 it weren't it weren't pretty it was nice
12:28 to have Claude as a back or Gemini I
12:30 mean that's the thing is there's so many
12:32 of these tools now that it's just
12:36 crazy um that that Chinese company quen
12:40 I think it's quen Q
12:42 qwen I think is the name of the company
12:47 um they launched today an
12:51 open-source model with all the weights
12:54 so it's basically you you you have the
12:56 keys to the kingdom with
12:58 it um
13:01 that is better than
13:05 gp4 almost as good as Claude Sonet for
13:09 coding and it's much smaller and it was
13:12 trained
13:14 on it was
13:17 like two
13:19 2,000
13:21 yeah 2,000 gpus a very small amount
13:25 basically $5.5 million of compute over
13:28 two months
13:30 and they created a model um that's as
13:33 good as as the biggest Frontier models
13:35 right now and it's a really interesting
13:37 thing because I don't know if you
13:39 remember but but Congress passed a law
13:43 that said the chips that we sell to
13:46 China have to be have to have their
13:48 super powerful stuff decommissioned we
13:51 can't send them the good stuff right
13:54 what it did was it forced them to
13:55 innovate with less powerful
13:57 chips so now now they're creating models
14:00 as good as our models for like $5
14:04 million which you know to just you and I
14:07 sounds like a lot of money but to the 10
14:09 billion dollars that open AI blew
14:12 through in about a week and a half um$
14:15 million is
14:17 nothing fascinating
14:22 [Music]
14:31 what the hell who signed me into this
14:35 [Music]
14:43 account all right let's see what we got
14:47 all right Brandon is back very nice good
14:50 to see you all right so anybody has any
14:54 questions pop them in the comments below
14:56 when we get an and we got Cindy we we
14:59 got Nate St Pierre
15:01 coming we'll bring them up on stage and
15:03 we'll talk talk turkey about AI Festivus
15:08 by the way if you're new
15:10 here this is the AI learning lab and
15:15 tomorrow starts this thing AI
15:19 Festivus if you have not registered for
15:22 this do it Teton skier if I win the Mega
15:27 Millions tomorrow
15:29 I'll pay all the Festivus bills that's
15:31 good actually ton here because so a
15:35 Funny Thing Happened on the Way to
15:37 putting together a little a little
15:39 workshop Aon that that we organized in
15:42 two weeks a couple of things one is an
15:45 an and the team that put this thing
15:47 together in two weeks this does not look
15:49 like a two- we event um I contributed
15:52 some ideas to it but the execution of
15:54 this thing like just really happened
15:56 incredibly quickly and Incredibly well
15:58 so if you go to AI festiv us.com you
16:01 just register right there um the
16:03 conversion rate to register for this
16:05 thing is Bonkers it's like 60
16:09 70% um from people that go to the
16:11 website to
16:13 register websites do not convert like
16:15 that also we were hoping that maybe we
16:19 would have um I don't
16:22 know uh uh you
16:25 know 300 maybe 400 people registered and
16:29 then maybe half that would show up
16:31 because that was you know last year I
16:32 think we had 150 for the for GPT for
16:36 good um we have had more than 2500
16:39 people sign up it's absolutely amazing
16:41 so anyway so go register for that now
16:45 speaking of that it looks like we have
16:50 got some people
16:51 [Music]
16:55 here let's bring some people up
16:58 [Music]
17:04 let's
17:06 bring people
17:10 up yo
17:14 hello Cindy Josh are you late you're not
17:18 late you're
17:20 early yeah
17:22 yeah so tomorrow's FES of us here are
17:25 two of our speakers hello hello I'm
17:30 excited so so why don't you each just
17:34 introduce yourself quickly just give us
17:36 a little sneak peek of what you're G to
17:38 be talking about and then uh and then
17:41 let's just Jam a little bit let's I want
17:43 to hear like what's going on how are the
17:44 holidays all that sort of stuff but why
17:46 don't we do some intros
17:51 first you got it Cindy okay I'll go hi
17:56 all I'm
17:57 Cindy and
18:00 um I'm psyched so I'm actually up for
18:05 the Festivus day on Saturday I will be
18:09 on in the Saturday
18:11 afternoon and I'm talking about AI
18:15 mindset and what we're specifically
18:18 going to do together is build an AI
18:23 mindset tool belt o gonna take the AI
18:28 Minds at goodies and you're GNA make a
18:31 du Bel with images and everything and so
18:35 and so AI mindset is what just like what
18:38 is that give me give me like one or two
18:40 specific things that that actually means
18:42 yep so it's eight different elements and
18:45 it's the idea that if you are
18:47 open-minded and collaborative and Brave
18:52 and Bold and curious and all of these
18:54 things you are going to have a better
18:57 time of it and if you are not those
19:01 things the AI world is going to be
19:04 tougher on you so the idea is jump in be
19:09 open-minded we're going to walk through
19:11 those things that should be on your tool
19:13 belt for mindset so not AI tools that
19:18 you need to use but what is the space
19:22 your mind needs to be in so that you're
19:24 open to all the tools I think that I
19:28 think that's so important I mean it's
19:29 like you know this channel started
19:31 essentially as a tool Channel here's a
19:33 cool tool here's how to use it right and
19:34 I and I think you know you you and I met
19:37 essentially geeking out on tools and I
19:39 think where you and I have both gotten
19:40 is one you can't keep up with them and
19:42 two and two it's it's not about the
19:44 tools right it's about what you do with
19:46 them and all that sort of stuff so
19:47 that's super exciting awesome all right
19:49 good thank you thank you and Josh let me
19:52 unmute you here there's a little
19:53 background noise so I muted you so um
19:56 all good hey thanks for doing that yeah
19:58 man hi
19:59 uh I'm Josh I will be talking about
20:02 simplifying the AI adoption process from
20:05 a Consulting perspective to like client
20:07 relationships so we've found over the
20:10 past couple of years through doing this
20:12 on the Consulting side at just how noisy
20:15 everything gets when you jump around
20:17 tools when you jump around uh kind of a
20:19 tech perspective first instead of just
20:21 like helping people figure out what do
20:23 they what should they do or could they
20:24 do with the tools yeah um so we're
20:26 sharing what we've learned we're
20:28 inviting people to
20:29 kind of walk with us in this new like my
20:32 new rule in like path forward is far
20:35 less jargony and Consulting complicated
20:39 and rather just meeting people where
20:41 they're at focusing on quick wins
20:42 because the quick wins can build
20:44 momentum and that momentum can lead to
20:46 True change uh versus the kind of like
20:50 structured change management top down
20:52 leadership approach that we started with
20:54 for a couple years we just found there's
20:55 a an easier way that actually makes an
20:57 impact so I'm really excited to share on
21:00 Saturday I think it's like yeah
21:01 midafternoon that's great eastern I
21:03 guess middle of the day Pacific okay
21:05 cool and and what's your what are you
21:08 seeing and and Cindy jump in because I'd
21:10 like to hear what you're seeing as well
21:12 are are are you see so so here's where
21:15 here's where where my questions coming
21:16 from last year we did a similar kind of
21:18 event to this we had 150 people this
21:21 year we've got 2500 have registered
21:26 um now part of that is we had an
21:28 influence are to boost us which helped a
21:31 lot and I also think that 2 200 people
21:34 registering for something on the weekend
21:37 between Christmas and New Year's is
21:38 weird it's like it's weirdly High um and
21:42 so I'm just curious if you Josh start
21:44 with you and then you Cindy are are you
21:46 seeing any shift in your client base
21:49 either they're more hungry or they're
21:50 more ready is there any of that shift
21:52 happening you feel definitely um I think
21:56 the appetite of like I say normal
21:58 business person and I mean it in the
22:00 best way possible versus like Tech proo
22:02 yeah uh normal business people are now
22:04 like entering their early adopter phase
22:07 so what I look at for the past two years
22:09 everything that's happened with geni
22:11 specifically has been like early adopter
22:12 and techies getting all excited and
22:15 being willing to try something new and
22:16 test something that doesn't quite work
22:17 yet and now that there's a lot more
22:20 convincing intelligence available uh I
22:23 think the world is waking up and people
22:25 are starting to have fomo and I think
22:27 the fomo of like what if we don't do
22:29 something like we missed 2024 Business
22:31 Leaders are thinking this at least the
22:33 ones we're working with yeah we didn't
22:34 do anything or we don't know what
22:36 everybody's doing on our team and we
22:37 want to just figure it out now um so it
22:40 feels like there's a whole new wave of
22:42 people waking up to what is the stuff
22:44 they're learning how to spell AI they're
22:45 learning how to um basically start to
22:50 look and investigate themselves but what
22:51 they're finding is now that there's two
22:53 years worth of noise and jargon and
22:55 people in the tech space like pushing um
22:58 for this it's very very hard to just
23:00 like focus on what matters figure out
23:02 what's going to work and then everybody
23:04 keeps asking the same question at least
23:06 from our side which is where do we start
23:08 and what should we like what should we
23:10 do like what's the use case is is the
23:13 thing we hear the most yeah yeah yeah
23:15 exactly exactly are you would would you
23:19 say that there's more activity is the
23:21 from the fomo perspective is there more
23:23 activity in the SE Suite middle
23:25 management or like Rank and file
23:27 execution for
23:30 I think middle management is where I've
23:32 at least worked with most people just
23:34 because they're getting pressure from
23:36 the top down they're get AI boy yeah
23:40 yeah well it's like well maybe and what
23:42 I'm hoping is it's the we're in the end
23:44 of that phase and it's more like
23:45 Executives like wait what is this I oh
23:47 yeah we got a lot of projects that were
23:50 like hey middle manager go figure this
23:52 out and report back to us yeah and then
23:54 we found like this was a big Catalyst
23:56 for sh my shift in focus from like the
23:59 tech side to like the teaching side or
24:01 more training I say than teaching
24:02 because we don't just do education we
24:04 like work with people um to build their
24:06 skills the the pressure that's coming
24:09 from Board of board of directors from
24:11 seite is really heavy on middle
24:13 management um they're trying to figure
24:15 out the answers to these qu you know how
24:18 are how is your team using AI we we put
24:20 the AI initiative forth we've invested
24:22 in everybody's accounts what's everybody
24:24 doing um so middle managers are looking
24:26 for answers and by and large Consultants
24:29 are giving you know 100 page documents
24:31 that are implementation strategies of
24:34 not just by chat GPT but also automation
24:36 but also data Lake but also over you
24:39 know Tech transformation and that's not
24:41 really a good answer what we found um it
24:43 doesn't answer the question of what
24:45 should we be doing yeah okay cool how
24:47 about how about you Cindy and I've got
24:49 um CJ and Michelle here so I'm GNA bring
24:51 them up soon um and we can I'm happy to
24:54 do this either way if you guys want to
24:55 hang out you're welcome to hang out we
24:57 can have just keep growing this
24:59 conversation but also if you want to go
25:01 do like family things you're welcome to
25:03 to check out so um but I just want
25:05 people to get get a chance to meet you
25:08 um but Cindy what are you seeing on the
25:10 on the adoption front because and you're
25:11 also you do a lot of work in government
25:14 stuff but now you're doing more private
25:16 sector as well as far as I understand so
25:18 just what tell tell me what you're
25:20 seeing in your your Wacky World yeah I
25:23 mean most of my work is government
25:27 military government agencies but um I do
25:30 do some corporate commercial Enterprise
25:33 stuff and I'll tell you kind of a
25:35 springboard off Jo what Josh was saying
25:37 what I'm seeing more than anything
25:40 is it's a permission space so for the
25:45 first time in this twoyear run I'm
25:50 finally seeing both professional and per
25:52 and
25:54 personal there's and I think Josh was
25:57 saying there's this sort of intelligent
25:59 collected enough over two years that
26:01 there's proof now that okay this one
26:03 it's not going away two maybe some
26:06 people are getting some good stuff out
26:07 of it so I'm not
26:11 seeing any sense of full adoption I will
26:15 say that by permission space what I mean
26:19 is same thing Josh is seeing I'm seeing
26:22 SE Suite looking down saying okay now
26:25 we're going to give you guys some
26:26 permission to get in there and play
26:29 and what that's requiring though which
26:31 is why I'm really interested in AI
26:34 mindset is you told all these people for
26:37 the last two years students employees
26:39 everybody everywhere don't touch it it's
26:41 bad a
26:43 evil and now you're saying oh well maybe
26:48 we need you you know employees students
26:51 everybody maybe we need you to get in
26:53 there and mess with that well how are we
26:55 going to get over that hurdle of you
26:57 scared the crap out of them for two
26:59 years that it was dark and evil yeah so
27:02 I think right now we're at a space where
27:04 it really is
27:05 about little permission slips to enter
27:09 to play and so everybody I'm working
27:13 with they are nowhere near the point of
27:17 actually learning the tools or actually
27:20 engaging in a real project yet they're
27:24 now just realizing okay the only way to
27:26 step in is little ounces of PL here and
27:29 there and everybody gets permission for
27:31 those play experiences and that's kind
27:34 of where everybody else is fascinating I
27:37 like I'm I'm really curious I I
27:40 personally don't think that any of those
27:42 things can be a success if the C Suite
27:45 isn't playing as well yep and it sounds
27:48 like you're both saying yeah you guys go
27:50 figure it out like it just so that's
27:52 that just says to me we're we're still
27:54 early let me let me bring up um do do
27:58 either if you want to run or you want to
27:59 hang out I'll hang hang great let me
28:04 bring
28:05 up Michelle and
28:08 CJ CJ what's happening hi everybody
28:13 hello hello hello so we're just gonna
28:15 slowly grow this conversation so so what
28:18 Cindy and Josh have already done is
28:19 introduce themselves and what their what
28:22 their role is in AI Festivus and what
28:24 their role is just in life so uh so I'd
28:27 love for you both to just jump in and do
28:29 the same who would like to go first
28:31 ladies first or or CJ what do you think
28:33 ladies first I I defer to the to the
28:35 good person from M empowered by AI
28:38 fantastic he Michelle a thank you well I
28:42 am Michelle man Silva owered by AI uh
28:46 podcast host and I have been um really
28:50 coming to all of this learner first um
28:54 because I just I am soaking up
28:57 everything like what Cindy just said
28:59 what Josh just said absolutely loving
29:02 that and can Echo um some of that as
29:05 well talking to all of these women that
29:08 I've been interviewing on the podcast
29:11 it's just been I think Kyle used the
29:13 word earlier hungry it's like there I I
29:16 really did think when I first started
29:18 out interviewing people God I hope I can
29:21 find 12 women that are really willing to
29:24 talk about how they're moving AI forward
29:27 and their moving their business forward
29:29 with AI and now I I think I'm gonna have
29:33 to start running bi-weekly
29:35 episodes just to keep because there are
29:37 so many women that are like wait a
29:39 minute wait a minute and I found kind of
29:42 to Echo what you both said earlier is
29:46 that there's different layers of
29:49 experimenting with AI that people are
29:52 ready to talk about we have people that
29:54 are Consultants like Cindy like Josh
29:58 that want to come to the table and want
30:00 to talk and then we also have these
30:02 people that are business
30:04 owners implementing in small steps and
30:08 so they not only want to listen to the
30:11 podcast to hear from women about how
30:14 women are also doing this but they also
30:17 want to be able to shed a little light
30:19 and share their challenges yep um what
30:22 they're struggling with and so it's been
30:24 really interesting to watch this kind of
30:26 format unfold with the podcast we've
30:29 become almost too tiered in the way we
30:32 do our interviews in that sometimes
30:34 we're talking to people that have been
30:36 in the field for a really long time and
30:39 have a lot of experience to share and
30:42 then on the other hand we're talking to
30:43 women who are talking about okay here's
30:45 what I'm struggling with right now this
30:48 is what I'm doing to try to get through
30:50 that yeah it that it's awesome and it's
30:52 like I think that's I I think one of the
30:55 things that's hit me recently is J is
30:58 not AI so if you've been in AI for
31:01 decades gen AI is a different thing
31:03 right post chat GPT the world is
31:05 different it's it's just it's they're
31:07 general purpose models right and it
31:09 changes things and I think that idea of
31:13 and and this is one of the things I'm
31:14 I'm so excited about for FES of us it's
31:16 like we've got people talking about kind
31:18 of everything from every angle and like
31:21 that's part of the joy we've got we've
31:22 got members of four different
31:24 communities have come together to just
31:25 volunteer their time this weekend to
31:28 talk from all these different points of
31:30 view and and I experienced this in the
31:32 early days of the web but I'm
31:33 experiencing it kind of really intensely
31:35 here that sometimes people come in with
31:38 what they think is something that's
31:40 really obvious to them and really non
31:43 they think it's non-important and they
31:45 share well I just figured out this
31:46 little nugget right and they think well
31:48 but that's just obvious because that's
31:49 what I know and then everyone else on
31:51 the Call's like oh my God that's
31:52 mind-blowing I never would have thought
31:54 about it like that so I think that's
31:55 just it it's just an incredible time so
31:58 congrat on the podcast and it's it's
31:59 really exciting to hear that uh that the
32:01 cup
32:04 runthe that's awesome uh
32:07 CJ okay hi everybody again I'm I'm CJ
32:11 Fletcher African-American male with
32:13 black and gold hair and a black and
32:16 white goatee uh I will be uh at Festivus
32:20 leading the life beyond mid Journey uh
32:23 section of the day tomorrow uh and what
32:26 I will be going over is is narrative
32:29 storytelling when it comes to image
32:31 making um part of my background has been
32:34 a Storyteller and so I have changed the
32:37 way that I tell my story so that now
32:39 they're all on one sheets of pieces of
32:42 paper digital or otherwise so I will be
32:45 going into the ins and outs of my
32:47 workflow uh for those of you who are
32:49 looking to step up a little bit with
32:51 your image making maybe there are things
32:53 that uh you haven't thought about that I
32:55 might bring to you and maybe within the
32:57 conversation there there are ways that
32:59 you are going to enlighten me that some
33:01 things that maybe I haven't thought
33:02 about when it come down to my generative
33:04 art um I run City inter Siege designs uh
33:08 and I've gotten I've gotten some stuff
33:10 around around the globe here and there
33:12 and uh other than that I'm I'm just
33:14 looking forward to it really this is
33:15 this is gonna be a lot of fun for me to
33:18 watch everybody talk about things that I
33:21 know zero about because I just make
33:23 pretty pictures and I love hearing all
33:25 the technical sides of stuff yep well I
33:28 want to I I want to I want to push back
33:30 a little bit on something with you the I
33:33 just make pretty pictures
33:35 thing you don't just do anything so CJ
33:39 is like when CJ explained at an AI Salon
33:43 meeting I don't know this was probably
33:44 close to a year ago he goes oh here's
33:46 how I made this art and he showed us
33:48 this beautiful art and then he walked us
33:49 through the process of it and it melted
33:52 my brain because as an ADHD guy I just
33:55 make art like I'm like if I'm two or
33:57 three PS in I'm like I'm exhausted I'm
33:59 done I'm good and I just I just publish
34:02 what's out there your workflow is
34:04 remarkable you run deep because you have
34:07 a very specific thing you're trying to
34:09 achieve in mind yes yes I I do um and
34:13 it's interesting over the past
34:15 365 how workflow changes and gets
34:18 refined as the technology expands um I'm
34:22 finding that it's catching up a little
34:24 bit to what's the the the stuff that's
34:27 the crazy things that are going going
34:28 around in my Noggin so it's getting a
34:30 little easier to get some of that uh of
34:32 that flow out of here onto a screen but
34:36 uh it's still there are still times when
34:38 I I have to run I have to run very large
34:42 uh iterations I'm looking at a a page
34:44 over here with about about 60 of one
34:48 image that I'm just working on at the
34:49 moment for a
34:51 gallery yeah and just one quick question
34:54 about a year ago it's one of one of the
34:57 favorite things anyone ever said said to
34:59 me you said to me my goal is in five
35:02 years to be in Moma is that still a goal
35:05 and are you on track 100% um so just so
35:09 for everyone else to know I Want U my
35:12 goal is to get the to have the art into
35:15 New York Moma or San Francisco Moma so I
35:18 sat down with chat GPT and its early
35:20 iterations and ran all sorts of
35:23 computations and questions and
35:24 conversations through it and we
35:26 developed a fiveyear plan together on
35:29 what it's going to take to get myself
35:31 there and I'm on track we've We've Ended
35:34 year one and I've met every Benchmark so
35:37 far um year two now is going to be about
35:41 getting more things in local galleries
35:43 so I can have some more local exposure
35:45 but the the digital Galleries and the
35:49 the worldwide presence all of those
35:51 things were met as well as making the
35:53 money that I needed to make to continue
35:55 on my lavished lifestyle of luxury great
35:59 I love it I love it um all right so we
36:01 got some some more folks here um
36:03 Kimberly welcome good to see you um
36:06 you're muted there you go you got yeah
36:08 there I am can you hear me yeah all
36:10 right cool hey everybody just introduce
36:13 yourself and yeah tell us tell us you
36:15 know what you do and what you're G to be
36:16 doing for festiv us okay so U my name is
36:19 Kimberly offord and I am happy to be
36:21 here I I'm new to the new to the group
36:24 and really happy to be amongst um um
36:28 shall I say um the cool kids
36:33 and the cool kids it's true yeah yeah um
36:37 but my uh Workshop that I'm going to be
36:39 doing is uh photo photo realistic images
36:43 and video and I am dissecting the uh
36:47 recent video that I did for uh Lila
36:49 haway I did a her tunnels uh video she
36:53 commissioned me to do that video for her
36:55 new her album that's out now and was
36:57 just nominated or Grammy and um did that
37:01 video and I'm going to dissect it and
37:04 just kind of talk about a little bit of
37:06 you know that process um of that
37:08 workflow process and you know um there
37:13 are a lot of people who are doing this
37:15 and they're not as great as
37:16 CJ and you know they're they're not
37:20 they're trying to figure out you know
37:21 hey how can I make a living of this you
37:24 know I'm I'm pretty halfway good and you
37:27 know just what the opportunities that
37:29 are out there so I'm going to talk about
37:30 that just a little bit um and try to
37:34 kind of get in dig into the video a
37:36 little bit but um I do I am a marketing
37:39 and branding person at heart and um at
37:44 uh birth I guess you could say and I
37:47 just kind of fell into this um AI world
37:50 and the AI world of images and
37:53 storytelling um so you know that's
37:56 that's that's me and that's who I am did
37:58 you did you do you have a visual
38:00 background prior to prior to the AI
38:03 stuff so I've always been a creative All
38:06 My Life um but I've never been I've been
38:11 a Avid art collector and Avid um you
38:15 know art collector of original art um
38:18 you walk into my house that's all you
38:20 see is original art um all over the
38:23 place looks like a museum so you know
38:25 what you like so you have an eye I have
38:27 an eye I have an eye and an ear um
38:30 because I try to a lot of what I do is
38:34 inspired by music um and if the music
38:37 doesn't Inspire the image the image
38:39 inspires what music I put with it um so
38:44 you know I'm I took piano lessons as a
38:46 kid but I was never good enough to be a
38:48 professional musician you know so that's
38:51 where it all my dog sings better than I
38:53 do so so I I relate I've heard your dog
38:56 I've heard
38:58 yeah the dog the dog's killing it like
39:00 you know could have gotten into jard but
39:02 he was a bit of a punk um no I'm one of
39:06 the things I'm really excited about is I
39:08 think that there's going to be kind of
39:09 three kinds of people that emerge um out
39:14 of this AI stuff and you know the first
39:16 is going to be just people that resist
39:18 it and I just I feel bad for them and
39:20 part of why we do this is to get as many
39:22 people up to speed as possible and then
39:24 some of the people are going to be
39:26 people who were artists before
39:28 and leverage AI to like really amplify
39:30 their creativity and then the third is
39:32 going to be people who were not
39:34 necessarily doing whatever the
39:36 discipline was before programming art
39:38 writing whatever it might have been but
39:40 have a desire to do that now all of a
39:42 sudden they can and I think the
39:44 Innovation we're going to see from those
39:45 those latter two groups I think is
39:47 fascinating so I'm super excited for you
39:50 that's that's really awesome really
39:51 really glad to have you
39:53 here um let's see let's go with Nate St
39:57 Pierre you you look like you're you're
39:59 in a monk you're in a in a wait a
40:03 monastery got the
40:05 books yeah I hey good to see you good I
40:09 don't I don't think monasteries have
40:10 these books
40:14 though yeah good to see you guys too
40:17 it's fun to check in at like I check in
40:20 with you guys like once a week or
40:21 something it's nice to get out of my
40:22 cave for a minute yeah it's good see
40:24 real people yeah exactly so tell us tell
40:27 us a little bit about your background
40:28 and and what you're going to be teaching
40:29 folks during
40:31 Festival um I don't know if I'm teaching
40:33 so much I'm kind of like comic relief I
40:36 think I'm just going to do a creative
40:37 session and just have fun and show
40:39 people what's possible um going from
40:42 zero to uh well my background is um kind
40:46 of like um a couple of you guys have a
40:49 marketing background in general but uh
40:51 been doing AI for about a year off and
40:54 on um but the thing I'm kind of um Pres
40:57 presenting on is couple of my tools have
41:00 gone kind of big over in the Hollywood
41:02 land for screenwriters so um people are
41:05 using them to make
41:07 movies and um I I have a bunch of a
41:11 World building I started with some World
41:12 building stuff a year ago and then that
41:14 translated into um script development
41:16 stuff for editors out in
41:18 laway um so that's kind of what I'm
41:21 presenting on just like how to go
41:24 from one line of a thought in your head
41:26 to fully devel Ved plot characters
41:30 research World building physics culture
41:33 um just rapid ideation and exploration
41:35 of ideas and all my writing tools they
41:38 do everything but write none of them
41:40 will actually write for you at all
41:42 because writers write and AI should help
41:44 do everything else I think but I mean
41:48 personally I don't really care if AI
41:50 writes a book for me if I enjoy the book
41:52 I'll read it one way or another but most
41:55 writers write because they want to write
41:57 right that's why they do it right like
41:59 they don't want AI writing for them so
42:01 I'm building tools that the wga likes
42:05 and isn't striking against they're
42:07 actually like I'm giving power to the
42:09 writers to expand their worlds and run
42:11 down you know break down uh show ideas
42:14 from one season to the next in a rapid
42:17 succession with a writer room of four
42:19 people and you can explore four
42:20 different seasons of of a show with four
42:22 different ideas all in the space of an
42:24 hour um rather than Breaking that out
42:26 over a course of a week or so and then
42:28 you can write to what you want so uh my
42:31 session is just going to be about
42:32 creating um story people and then I do I
42:36 dabble and mid Journey a little bit I'm
42:38 not I'm not an expert in any one thing
42:40 really but I'm kind of good at putting
42:41 everything together um so I'll show I'll
42:45 show some of the um Bridge programs I
42:48 wrote to convert like if we're doing a
42:51 character sketch over here in the
42:52 writing app we can quickly convert that
42:54 to mid-journey language to Output very
42:56 quickly like character sketches that
42:58 work and so in the space of like you
43:01 know 30 seconds you can go from ideation
43:04 to
43:05 illustration yeah yeah so it'll just be
43:08 fun yeah yeah Nate's another one who who
43:11 s sells himself a little short sometimes
43:14 just in terms of you know he's talking
43:16 about these tools in a in a kind of less
43:18 formal way they're very very impressive
43:19 tools did you you had a story when we
43:22 talked in an office hours back you said
43:25 something about like one of the screen
43:27 writers you were talking to was a little
43:29 skeptical and was like you know well let
43:31 me see what you can do with this and he
43:33 gave you a script or something and can
43:34 you just tell that like you you turned
43:36 it around really quick and what was his
43:37 response oh um maybe the one you're
43:40 talking about is so I'll tell you this
43:43 as a result of these tools I've built
43:45 I've done now over a dozen live sessions
43:48 with like screenwriters directors and
43:50 producers you would recognize from like
43:53 legit um billion dooll box office shows
43:58 and every single one of them have said
44:01 this is better than anything we have in
44:02 Hollywood right now for these to wow wow
44:06 and I have not read one single page of
44:09 any one of their scripts and I've done
44:11 live developmental editing sessions with
44:13 them so awesome and the and the the
44:16 tools you know the tools that we have
44:18 available to us now I'm a I'm a bit of a
44:21 writer and editor in my real life so I
44:23 like I can bridge that Gap and work the
44:24 tools but it's like it's the machines
44:26 that are doing the work right right yeah
44:28 and just I think people don't realize
44:31 the strength of these properly
44:32 architected and properly system prompted
44:34 that you can make magic happen for
44:36 people and it just blows their mind so
44:39 yeah um yeah I actually worked with a
44:42 the the one I think you're talking about
44:43 is there was a developmental editor he
44:45 does this for a living that's right he
44:47 helps writers with their scripts you
44:49 know professional writers yeah that's
44:51 and he said he was skeptical because
44:53 someone had told him about it so he said
44:55 why don't you do a demo I'm going to
44:56 bring you a script that that I'm going
44:58 to bring you a screenplay that I've
44:59 never published on the web so AI doesn't
45:01 know anything about it and we'll just
45:04 see what you can do in an hour and so
45:06 again I just showed up blank and was
45:08 like all right give me your script let's
45:09 do it and at the end of the hour he was
45:12 like this is multiple times better than
45:15 anything I provide my clients so I want
45:17 to sell this into Stage 32 which was one
45:19 of the biggest script development firms
45:21 that he works for wow so right now
45:24 that's in the process of being sold who
45:26 knows those guys all just about raising
45:28 money and like spending other people's
45:30 money like it is so frustrating working
45:32 out there honestly it's there's very few
45:34 people actually building things and more
45:36 people just trying to raise money around
45:38 things yeah it's like by the time you
45:39 spend by the time you raise $2.3 million
45:42 and get all this like you have a
45:43 three-year plan to build all this stuff
45:45 you're gonna be behind I feel behind and
45:47 I'm ahead you know compared to the rest
45:49 of the world I still feel behind well
45:51 that's I that's I think a really
45:53 important Point Nate is
45:56 that one of the remarkable things about
45:58 the AI salon and she leads Ai and this
46:01 whole community and all of you is
46:04 that I think all of us to a person don't
46:07 feel like we're experts at anything
46:09 right now right I think we're all just
46:11 trying to like figure it out and and
46:13 like we're making these little
46:14 incremental steps of understanding we
46:17 get a little bit better in this
46:18 direction or that let we drop this
46:20 off what I think all I think I think
46:24 something that is very easy to
46:25 forget is that we're making incremental
46:29 steps in technology that is advancing ex
46:32 uh
46:33 exponentially and so for us this is like
46:36 the relativity of of time this is like
46:38 relativ relativity of capabilities where
46:41 for us it feels like little incremental
46:43 changes but for someone who hasn't even
46:45 played with AI to see that it can anal
46:48 it can read four different scripts and
46:50 and you know compare them from four
46:52 different writers points of view
46:54 instantly like no one knows that's POS
46:57 possible right I think they're thinking
46:59 of whatever they thought AI was before
47:01 like that's how GPS Works they don't
47:03 know what it means they just think it's
47:05 some nebulous thing and when they see it
47:06 can actually apply to them in this
47:08 dramatic fashion it's you know so so I
47:12 think for AI festiv us again I think
47:15 each of us to a person individually are
47:17 going to be like Oh I'm just putting out
47:19 this little thing that I do but you know
47:21 don't forget with 2500
47:24 people when was it four months ago 4 7%
47:27 of Americans hadn't even heard of chat
47:30 GPT yet so there's probably going to be
47:32 a fairly
47:33 significant population over the next two
47:37 days that are just going to have their
47:39 mind blown session after session after
47:42 session after session so so you know Pat
47:45 yourselves on the back for just being in
47:47 the conversation because it's really
47:48 important and speaking of that Tracy
47:51 welcome welcome you're gonna talk to us
47:53 about safety we're all out here pushing
47:54 the boundaries of this thing and trying
47:56 to break things
47:58 uh just uh uh hear a little bit about
48:01 you and I'm really excited for your for
48:03 your panel and uh and catch us up on
48:05 what you're GNA talk about okay I am
48:08 Tracy the safety lady um I've been in
48:11 the safety business for 29 years I uh
48:14 speak across the country I create
48:16 content um internationally and I host
48:19 the country's only real estate safety
48:21 podcast and every conversation I I must
48:24 weave AI in because it's important in
48:26 the real estate world
48:28 um I um just got a job as a Workforce
48:30 Development instructor and um so I am I
48:35 am saying use AI I use it every day I
48:38 use it for things that I never thought I
48:41 should use it for for example um at the
48:43 grocery store there is a deli counter
48:45 and they have the best salad ever and
48:47 I'm thinking I go in and buy the salad
48:49 every day why don't I take a picture of
48:51 the label ask chat GPT to create a
48:54 recipe do the nutritional um
48:58 information and it's blowing my mind I
49:00 am not a cooking girl but I'm kind of
49:02 sort of getting into cooking now that I
49:04 I can do things like that um so
49:06 basically from kids from teenagers I'm a
49:09 lead on a project for a stem to keep
49:12 kids from s to 17 up to date on code and
49:15 I'm the one that teaches um cyber
49:17 security part of it I talk to senior
49:19 citizens so what I do is I encourage
49:21 everyone to use the tools use all of the
49:24 tools any of the tools but use them
49:26 safely so people don't understand that
49:28 the information you put in there is
49:30 public information so I have to talk to
49:32 them about not putting personal
49:33 financial or proprietary information in
49:35 the tools um redact that information but
49:38 still create whatever it is you need to
49:40 create I talked to them about um how to
49:43 use it to increase their business how to
49:45 create content that's going to help them
49:47 generate leads and to build their
49:49 business using safety and then the
49:52 interesting part that people find um
49:54 that I do is I do Show and Tell I talk
49:56 about how cyber criminals use the tools
49:59 uh to scam and defraud us how they use
50:01 them to create deep fakes um fishing
50:03 emails um social engineering so I have
50:06 to show and tell and when people see it
50:08 they don't believe it so my job is to
50:10 say be alert be aware that criminals are
50:13 using these tools and here's what
50:14 they're doing here's what you need to
50:16 watch out for because most of these are
50:19 um the crimes that are being committed
50:21 they're preventable and they're
50:23 preventable with education so that's
50:25 what inspires me beautiful love it love
50:28 it um I just brought Jim Ross up on
50:31 stage Jim I'll get to you in a second
50:32 and I see Joe is backstage but you don't
50:35 have your camera or mic on so I can't
50:37 add you to the stage because I don't
50:39 know streamyard won't let us see you
50:41 unless we can see you apparently um but
50:43 if you can figure out the camera thing
50:45 maybe log out and log back in if it's
50:46 not there um before I get to Jim um if
50:50 you're wondering who the hell are these
50:52 people and where's the dog the dog
50:55 already sang the dog already sang we're
50:58 not bringing the dog back um
51:00 but for the next two days starting
51:04 tomorrow morning at 900 a.m Pacific is
51:07 AI festiv us so the people you see on
51:09 stage are some of the 34 people that are
51:12 going to be presenting over two days

51:49 see you sir you too so so do me a favor
51:53 uh introduce yourself to people and and
51:56 uh just tell them tell them what you've
51:58 been up to with AI and and what you're
52:00 excited to talk about tomorrow in the
52:03 session yeah I've been are you tomorrow
52:05 or you're Saturday I think you're
52:06 tomorrow aren't you I think I'm Saturday
52:09 oh you're Saturday okay fine yeah I
52:11 don't know I didn't memorize the
52:12 schedule well it's hard to when you got
52:15 a billion people on there it's awesome
52:17 exactly no just I'm just gonna have it
52:20 tuned in all day long and just kind of
52:21 have it play in the background while I'm
52:23 working exactly uh but no I'm uh J us I
52:28 own a company called Three Mile Storage
52:30 management I know it's like what do you
52:31 want why do you have a self storage guy
52:33 on a AI event but I think I'm kind of in
52:38 here just to kind of showcase that man
52:41 you can have ai in in anything if I can
52:43 put it and weave it into my storage
52:45 business you can figure out how to do it
52:47 in your business in one way shape or
52:49 another and I've just been playing
52:51 around with it since really since day
52:54 one when chat TB kind of came out it was
52:57 on my rard I just started just just
52:59 playing and just just kind of be you say
53:02 I be curious you know same thing I'm
53:05 always curious and just trying to try
53:07 something try something new at least
53:10 once a week but I'm I I kind of like
53:12 just getting that muscle going and just
53:15 actually using it uh on a daily basis
53:18 yeah you do you you have you do it like
53:19 a practice like you turn on the coffee
53:22 maker right and then just do like an
53:25 hour of AI I I this little timer I just
53:29 I put the timer on my desk and for 60
53:32 minutes as that's going I have ai and
53:35 I'm just trying different things I'm in
53:37 mid Journey I'm doing images I'm doing
53:40 prompts I'm writing blogs I'm doing
53:43 YouTube thumbnails whatever yeah and
53:46 it's amazing I I get from I get notes
53:49 from Jim I get notes from Jim regularly
53:51 where he's like hey Kyle I'm like what
53:54 he's like he's like I want another
53:56 client I'm like what you do this time
53:58 you want to tell tell tell people some
54:00 of the things you've done to win clients
54:02 because it's bizarre like it's it's a
54:04 kind of thing Jim where it's like I I
54:06 don't think anyone on this call I don't
54:08 think anyone in the world could imagine
54:11 that you could do what you do right to
54:14 to win clients like sh share a couple of
54:17 stories because I think they're they're
54:19 so fun for one thing it's fun I mean
54:20 it's I mean you wouldn't think but it's
54:22 it's highly competitive in my in
54:24 Property Management it's it's it's it's
54:26 a competive industry and when they're
54:29 kind of raising their hands and they're
54:30 interviewing different management
54:32 companies I got to stand out some way
54:34 shape or form you know and one that
54:37 comes to mind is I was talking with this
54:40 this uh client and he was actually uh in
54:44 the car wash
54:45 business but he's also does storage and
54:49 he was his first time in the storage and
54:51 I don't think I even told you this whole
54:52 story but anyway as we were
54:54 talking basically the the whole foot in
54:57 the door is my background as crazy as it
54:59 sounds just having like the AI
55:01 background that's the first thing people
55:03 say is like oh I I like that like yeah
55:05 yeah I was just kind of you know dinking
55:07 around and made this on AI and it's
55:10 pretty cool huh they're like oh really
55:12 Ai and so that kind of gets him talking
55:15 about it well this guy was talking about
55:16 his car wash and so I made him a jingle
55:20 I went and suo and kind of created a a
55:22 whole thing for for his car wash
55:25 business like hey I think you might like
55:27 this love to you know continue the
55:29 conversation about your storage business
55:31 but you already have this business going
55:33 and I thought you might like it he
55:35 emailed back right away he's like cool
55:37 that was awesome see you on Monday you
55:39 know you got the contract for property
55:41 management like that was awesome and
55:45 then literally just
55:46 today another one that came up is over
55:49 the weekend I was kind of playing around
55:51 with I wanted to do like a 30 second
55:54 promo for for videos for storage
55:57 businesses so I you know made the images
56:00 put it in a Runway to kind of animate it
56:04 put them together had uh uh 11 Labs do
56:09 the voice over put that on top of it had
56:11 Ceno do some background music so it was
56:14 all in AI put it together in about it
56:17 took me about an hour and a half once I
56:19 kind of got the ball rolling and
56:21 literally today I was talking to someone
56:22 that has three properties and she was
56:25 just like what can I do to stand out I'm
56:26 in Market blah blah blah I'm like here's
56:28 something I just threw together I played
56:31 it for she was like that was awesome can
56:34 I use it like yeah I'll make you one in
56:36 two seconds so I slapped her logo on it
56:37 gave it to
56:39 her that I can directly attribute to
56:42 just being curious and and passionate
56:45 about AI yeah I think it kind of rubs
56:48 off and they can see that going oh
56:50 you're actually on the right path you're
56:52 not like afraid of it and least you you
56:55 can kind of see the future where things
56:56 are going and I that's that's winning me
56:58 clients yeah it's it's also Jim though
57:02 it's you know I noticed this with Kelly
57:05 Camp I no with a lot of people that are
57:07 doing well with
57:08 AI you don't make it about the AI you
57:11 make it about you listen to the person
57:13 and what they're trying to do and then
57:15 you're just like I know enough of the AI
57:17 to go let me just go do that they can't
57:20 understand how you did it that fast
57:22 right and that it probably leads to the
57:24 AI conversation but what you're actually
57:25 doing is giving them something valuable
57:27 to them right that they know should have
57:30 taken a week and they just experienced
57:32 it taking 10 minutes or an hour whatever
57:35 it was right well that's what's so cool
57:37 because you can you can customize things
57:39 to them and make it valuable to them and
57:41 make it personal that it just blows
57:44 everything else out of the water and
57:45 it's just showing that extra that little
57:48 extra 10% of that you're actually care
57:51 or listening to what they're they're
57:53 they're doing in in business and you can
57:56 implement that in AI in two seconds and
57:58 man you stand out yeah amazing amazing
58:01 let me let me open it back up to to the
58:03 other folks that are still here Michelle
58:05 Tracy Kimberly Nate what what are your
58:07 thoughts any thoughts and just listening
58:09 to all the people that have talked so
58:10 far I have a thought which is I think
58:13 it's been repeated a few times it's just
58:15 that I think the people who are
58:17 presenting the people in this room are
58:19 just people who are trying things and
58:21 not afraid to test or play or fail or
58:24 break things and that's really
58:27 I mean if you started a year ago which
58:30 is what I did and you just spend you
58:33 know like Jim you said you just spend an
58:34 hour a day or whatever it's like if you
58:36 just spend some time messing with these
58:38 tools you rapidly learn what works what
58:40 doesn't what you enjoy what you're good
58:42 at what the tools are good at and then
58:44 you find a you find a lane and pretty
58:46 soon since this all this stuff is so new
58:49 we're kind of experts in our lane as
58:52 much as you can be which isn't a ton
58:54 right now but it's exactly yeah it feels
58:57 so fragile right now doesn't it yeah but
59:00 it's like it that'ss amazing Nate like
59:02 it's like a year ago you weren't doing
59:04 anything and and now you've got someone
59:05 from Hollywood going like your tool is
59:07 better than anything we've got in
59:09 Hollywood and it's just like yeah okay
59:12 and now that's the secondary product and
59:14 the main product is launching in a
59:16 couple weeks which I think is going to
59:18 be my exit strategy for life for
59:20 building and selling a company amazing
59:22 and it's like and I even took a five
59:25 four month break from AI too I was only
59:27 half asking it for like yeah you kind of
59:29 checked out for a bit I half asked it
59:31 for four months and played around then I
59:32 took four months off and then I've only
59:34 really been doing it for six months and
59:37 like it's crazy how much you can
59:38 accomplish if you're focused on what you
59:40 want to do and here's I'll say this too
59:43 so I look at all your stuff Kimberly is
59:45 looking at your stuff and it's like I
59:47 love so I'm a creative too and I have
59:49 been my whole life and I love what um
59:54 like CJ's doing and Kimberly's doing
59:55 that stuff and I would just like to play
59:57 around and do that yeah but I can only
1:00:00 focus so much of my time and I want the
1:00:02 output of what I want to accomplish so
1:00:04 it's like I'm leaving so and there's so
1:00:06 much stuff exploding around us right now
1:00:08 in terms of tech and it's advancing so
1:00:10 quick in all these different areas and I
1:00:12 want to be shiny object syndrome but I'm
1:00:15 not because I need to be focused on what
1:00:16 I want to do but it sucks that I'm
1:00:18 leaving on the table all these cool
1:00:20 things I could be doing that are just
1:00:22 super fun but I know I'd just be
1:00:23 scatterbrained all over the place so I'm
1:00:25 not doing them right now
1:00:27 so it's kind of like an embarrassment of
1:00:28 riches out there it but I like seeing
1:00:30 what you guys are doing because it's
1:00:32 like oh that's what I would do if I had
1:00:33 like time to focus on it that's that's
1:00:36 again that thing that everyone everyone
1:00:38 that I know in AI thinks that the thing
1:00:40 they're doing is just this small little
1:00:42 thing that's not super impressive
1:00:44 because they know what's possible and
1:00:46 then someone else sees it and just goes
1:00:48 what you can do that like they've never
1:00:51 considered it it's just amazing uh
1:00:53 Kimberly Tracy or Michelle what any
1:00:55 anything popping for for you
1:00:57 yeah I mean Jim you say you have a timer
1:01:00 to say how you know how long you're
1:01:02 going to be on AI I need a timer to tell
1:01:04 me to stop and
1:01:06 so exactly oh my God shot color right
1:01:11 you
1:01:12 know it's like an all night thing you go
1:01:15 down the rabbit hole and that's it I'm
1:01:17 gone you know and so I've been doing the
1:01:19 images for two years now and um you're
1:01:23 right um I look at what I do and it's
1:01:27 you know it's hey it's just it's this
1:01:29 this thought I had it's this image that
1:01:31 you know I had in my brain and then I
1:01:33 started to realized everyone else first
1:01:36 of all the storytelling was touching a
1:01:38 lot of people and I realized that Kim
1:01:42 what you're doing like 50 75% of the
1:01:47 population does not know how to do that
1:01:49 or doesn't have the ability to
1:01:51 articulate whatever it is creatively
1:01:54 that they have in their brain and so yes
1:01:57 what you're doing is definitely unique
1:02:00 and um you know I have to stop myself
1:02:04 from going down that rabbit hole and
1:02:06 getting buried in that rabbit hole and I
1:02:10 think that is one issue that all of us
1:02:12 have because we're so excited and we're
1:02:14 so immersed in what is AI but I mean
1:02:18 like I do trainings and before I can
1:02:21 even get the the the presentation done I
1:02:23 got to do it all over again because
1:02:25 something has changed and someone has
1:02:27 introduced something new you know and I
1:02:29 have to redo it but I always tell
1:02:31 everyone that um that wants to get
1:02:33 involved you know find two or three that
1:02:35 you can really bury yourself in master
1:02:39 those um and find a niche find a niche
1:02:42 for yourself and then you know use what
1:02:45 will build that and then go for it um
1:02:49 you know and and be unique you know do
1:02:52 something different because we are still
1:02:54 actually in the early adoption face and
1:02:57 and I liking that I liking that too what
1:03:01 would you all have done if you had been
1:03:02 able to put $5 on Apple when it was a
1:03:05 box yeah yeah yeah that's that's where
1:03:08 we are I think your your point of like
1:03:12 you know you feel like you're running
1:03:14 down a rabbit hole so much that you're
1:03:16 getting buried in it and you want to
1:03:17 find some others and I'm I'm in this
1:03:20 weird place where I'm like I'm like yeah
1:03:22 maybe I could make a fusion reactor you
1:03:25 know what I should probably answer I'm
1:03:27 like like is the tools are getting more
1:03:28 capable I'm like I can do it all you
1:03:30 know I'm a wizard and it's like no you
1:03:33 actually you do need to like that's it's
1:03:36 one of the scary things about AI is that
1:03:39 you can get to 80% essentially instantly
1:03:43 and that you know the next 10% is really
1:03:45 hard the next 5% above that's really
1:03:47 hard and that last 5 per like getting
1:03:50 something that you actually want to put
1:03:51 in the world I'm finding it is
1:03:54 essentially the same amount of work as
1:03:55 if I had started from scratch right to
1:03:58 to to really get something there um but
1:04:00 I but I can just do so many more I can
1:04:02 run down so many more rabbit holes to
1:04:04 get there so and real quick let me say
1:04:06 this real quick and I'll let everyone
1:04:07 else talk so Jim said something very
1:04:09 interesting where he's showing his
1:04:11 clients all these he's you know he's
1:04:13 pulling out all his bells and whistles
1:04:15 and doing magic tricks right and I and I
1:04:18 understand because it's magic you know
1:04:22 and you know I I do it all the time
1:04:24 where someone will say can you do such
1:04:26 such such and I'll be like uh okay and
1:04:29 it takes two minutes you know two
1:04:32 minutes and it's like wow what is this
1:04:36 and that's just the magic in it and then
1:04:38 showing somebody else how to do it and
1:04:40 seeing their eyes light up that's what I
1:04:43 really enjoy about it yeah in in here we
1:04:46 call it uh giving them their first Kevin
1:04:48 McAllister moment from Home
1:04:50 Alone yeah that moment
1:04:53 right um Mr K welcome welcome up on
1:04:56 stage uh really excited to have you here
1:05:00 um so Mr K is or well Matt we can call
1:05:04 you Matt but know known as Mr K on on
1:05:06 Tik Tok um is an educator um just
1:05:09 introduce yourself and tell people what
1:05:11 you're G to be talking about and what
1:05:12 you're excited about these days sure uh
1:05:16 thanks for putting me on the screen here
1:05:18 I appreciate
1:05:20 it I literally like opened up my phone
1:05:23 and I saw like three different versions
1:05:25 of your live on LinkedIn and Tik Tok and
1:05:27 like I had all these different
1:05:29 notifications and then I saw you were up
1:05:31 there and I'm like hey why wasn't I
1:05:33 invited thank you Brandon for getting me
1:05:36 in yeah good awesome yeah well and
1:05:39 unlike probably a lot of people it is
1:05:41 11:07 PM for me so it's a little late
1:05:44 but everybody's sleeping upstairs so I'm
1:05:46 good but um I am Mr K Matt gabinos I
1:05:51 teach in central Pennsylvania and um I
1:05:54 became obsessed with AI pretty quickly
1:05:57 um later than most people though I did
1:05:59 not jump on chat GPT right away I waited
1:06:02 about six months because I was in the uh
1:06:05 we're gonna get Skynet crowd uh right
1:06:08 away and I was a little freaked out by
1:06:11 the things that it could do even then
1:06:13 early on and then um I made a quiz
1:06:17 because I was running out of time at the
1:06:19 end of the uh marking period and it made
1:06:22 me a 10 question quiz
1:06:24 in less than you know two minutes I put
1:06:27 it up on the screen and gave my kids a
1:06:29 Post-It note and I had the grade that I
1:06:31 needed to put in the book um and that's
1:06:34 all I needed was I needed to put a grade
1:06:35 in the book I wanted it to be a nice
1:06:37 easy thing at the end of the year um and
1:06:40 I was like wow it did that really easily
1:06:42 I wonder what else it can do um and and
1:06:46 here we are I became obsessed with AI
1:06:48 pretty quickly
1:06:50 now now I am using AI to help me pretty
1:06:55 much
1:06:56 redesign how I do teaching in my
1:07:00 classroom um I'm tired of the teaching
1:07:04 from a book which a lot of people still
1:07:07 fall into I'm tired of the kids like
1:07:10 sitting in you know desks or you know
1:07:13 little clusters or whatever um so I'm
1:07:17 looking to totally redesign how I do my
1:07:19 teaching and so I did a deep dive into
1:07:22 building thinking classrooms I read the
1:07:25 book but then beyond the book I actually
1:07:28 developed uh now with AI projects uh
1:07:32 with chat gbt's projects I've developed
1:07:35 a whole project that is based around his
1:07:38 way of thinking and his modeling of how
1:07:41 he does designs uh for his classroom and
1:07:44 I have it helped me kind of follow along
1:07:47 with my curriculum and design tasks for
1:07:50 my kids to do so I'm using it to like
1:07:54 redefine how I do educ
1:07:56 and redefine how kids are assessed and
1:08:00 anything that I can contribute to the
1:08:03 world of getting away from standardized
1:08:05 testing for students I will gladly
1:08:09 contribute so well here and I mean it's
1:08:11 just listen I think that I think that
1:08:13 critical thinking is is going to be the
1:08:16 the skill moving forward that is like
1:08:19 the requirement is going to be you're
1:08:20 gonna have to be able to use your brain
1:08:22 to synthesize all these capabilities
1:08:24 that are in front of you and I think
1:08:25 it's it's super important about what was
1:08:28 it nine months or so ago your
1:08:31 administrators found out that you were
1:08:34 teaching the devil's work as they put it
1:08:37 or whatever it was correct and they said
1:08:39 you couldn't even talk about it has that
1:08:40 sh shifted or did you move
1:08:44 schools so I have not moved schools yet
1:08:49 um I am still technically not allowed to
1:08:54 discuss AI at all with my students
1:08:57 staggering I find that how however
1:09:01 Blasphemous however I don't I I have no
1:09:04 idea how this happens you know my kids
1:09:06 just magically start being curious and
1:09:08 asking questions about AI in class and
1:09:12 it is my civic duty as a teacher to
1:09:14 actually teach them so answer their
1:09:17 questions can't help it uh most of them
1:09:19 also found me on Tik Tok uh so so they
1:09:23 hear what I talk about all the time
1:09:26 um and I was very disheartened at uh I
1:09:30 think it was about two months ago we got
1:09:32 an email that uh AI was banned in the
1:09:36 high school
1:09:37 officially uh
1:09:39 totally um and again like my big thing
1:09:43 that I'm trying to do in my area um my
1:09:46 school doesn't really want to listen to
1:09:47 me about it which is fine that ship has
1:09:50 sailed but the school the other schools
1:09:52 in my area are curious so I am working
1:09:55 through an organization right now called
1:09:58 the Intermediate Unit um 8 they're like
1:10:02 it's like the State Department of
1:10:03 Education and then intermediate units
1:10:06 are like right underneath that um and
1:10:09 they go by regions uh so I'm teaching
1:10:13 teachers in my region um weirdly no
1:10:16 teachers or admins from my school but
1:10:19 from other schools in the region I am
1:10:21 teaching them about Ai and slowly
1:10:25 beginning the conversation of
1:10:26 introducing it because that whole
1:10:28 mindset of banning chat GPT or Banning
1:10:31 AI it it comes from not understanding
1:10:34 what it can do totally and not
1:10:36 understanding how to work with it so
1:10:38 totally it's it's staggering I mean it's
1:10:42 it's the most profound knowledge tool in
1:10:44 the history of humanity and educators
1:10:47 are like well we don't want to use that
1:10:50 like right what well I I always tell
1:10:53 people I'm like well if a I can do your
1:10:57 assignment for you then you should be
1:10:59 doing something different Y is is how
1:11:01 I'm trying to frame it now love that and
1:11:03 you know maybe writing papers isn't all
1:11:06 that important anymore yeah you know
1:11:09 maybe there's a whole bunch of other
1:11:11 things that we could be doing here but
1:11:14 again the the first step is just getting
1:11:17 these teachers to understand what it is
1:11:19 so that they can be able to you know
1:11:23 teach their kids about it and
1:11:26 I make the argument to teachers all the
1:11:28 time that if students knew another
1:11:32 option to use AI for then the students
1:11:36 would use it in that way right now any
1:11:39 student any person like even myself I
1:11:43 think to myself if AI can do this for me
1:11:45 hell yeah I'm gonna let it do it for me
1:11:48 if it's just as good or better than what
1:11:50 I can do absolutely I'm going to do that
1:11:54 so I cannot fault any student especially
1:11:57 middle schoolers for wanting to do the
1:12:00 same thing that's totally unfair you
1:12:03 know Mr K why are you gonna have us do
1:12:05 this when AI can just do it for us yeah
1:12:09 that's a great question I wish more
1:12:10 students would ask me that yeah well
1:12:13 yeah like discussing that there's your
1:12:16 critical thinking opportunity right
1:12:18 let's let's talk through that or what's
1:12:19 it good at what's it bad at all that
1:12:20 sort of stuff awesome and just one one
1:12:22 more thing before I skip over yeah to
1:12:25 the critical thinking I recently posed
1:12:27 this question to my students before we
1:12:29 went on Christmas break I said if AI can
1:12:33 do everything that you can do or maybe
1:12:36 everything you can do better than you
1:12:37 can do then what good are
1:12:41 you I asked them that question and
1:12:43 they're 11 and 12 years old so um after
1:12:47 about a minute of perplexed looks on
1:12:49 their face is I had a kid actually tell
1:12:53 me it can't give you a hug
1:12:56 uh it can't give you a high five yep and
1:13:00 another kid said um because we talk a
1:13:03 lot about empathy and emotion and
1:13:04 another kid said uh empathy doesn't have
1:13:07 empathy doesn't know what empathy is so
1:13:10 they get it we just have to talk to him
1:13:12 about it that's all we have to do is
1:13:14 just talk to him about it and not be
1:13:16 afraid yeah that's great um Jim I know
1:13:18 you got a take off but um any any final
1:13:21 words before you blast on out of
1:13:23 here no I'm just excited it's gonna be a
1:13:26 fun jam-packed couple days I'm excited
1:13:29 not just about myself but to meet
1:13:30 everybody else and make some new friends
1:13:32 so it's going to be a blast great
1:13:35 beautiful um Michelle Tracy any final
1:13:37 thoughts I do I want to talk a little
1:13:40 bit about what Mr K was saying um about
1:13:43 kids using it my uh granddaughter's in
1:13:45 high school I'm here in the Kansas City
1:13:47 area my granddaughter's in high school
1:13:49 and they will not allow it and I am
1:13:51 saying you guys are going to be left
1:13:52 behind because this isn't going anywhere
1:13:54 fortunately I was hired by a school
1:13:56 district in the area to go in and talk
1:13:58 to the teachers and the administrators
1:14:00 and I think what Mr Kay said is right
1:14:02 they don't understand it they're afraid
1:14:03 of what they don't understand um so
1:14:05 that's what I'm talking about I'm
1:14:07 talking about the and I hate to be the
1:14:10 bad the person talking about the bad but
1:14:12 I have to be realistic you know so I
1:14:14 have to explain to them you know if the
1:14:16 kids are going to use it and they should
1:14:17 be using it you know find ways to have
1:14:19 them show their work find a way to have
1:14:21 them use it but more importantly explain
1:14:24 to them how not to use it and there are
1:14:26 so many news stories with kids in the
1:14:28 headlines where they're uh they're
1:14:29 committing SE exploitation on their
1:14:31 fellow students because they're using it
1:14:33 offline and they're putting their fellow
1:14:35 students faces on and then they're
1:14:37 sharing those inappropriate images and
1:14:39 that could get them in trouble get them
1:14:40 put in gel so I'm saying parents and
1:14:43 teachers need to understand that they
1:14:45 also need to understand that the
1:14:46 criminals cyber criminals are out there
1:14:47 using the tools pretending to be
1:14:49 something that they're not even if
1:14:50 you're looking at someone that might not
1:14:52 be who you're looking at so there's a
1:14:54 conversation that has to be had so I
1:14:56 think the the way to solve the school
1:14:58 problem is to educate the teachers and
1:15:00 the administrators and I am on a mission
1:15:02 to do that as a matter of fact I'm um
1:15:04 the lead in an organization where our
1:15:06 goal is to reach at least 300 students
1:15:09 and to teach them my job is to teach
1:15:10 them the cyber security part of it how
1:15:12 to use it safely how to keep your
1:15:14 information private and how the bad guys
1:15:16 are using it and how they're coming for
1:15:18 you so I think education is the key and
1:15:20 for our students to not have this
1:15:22 knowledge my my nephew is a uh he just
1:15:26 finished his freshman year in college he
1:15:28 doesn't understand it so I'm talking to
1:15:30 him and he's like why is my aunt keep
1:15:31 talking this is the holiday and it's
1:15:33 like no no you need to understand how
1:15:35 important it is that you know about this
1:15:37 use this as part of your future so I'm
1:15:39 on that bandwagon too that's awesome
1:15:42 yeah no that's great and it's listen
1:15:44 that's what this weekend is all about
1:15:46 like hopefully we have 300 student like
1:15:49 you know let's say out of the 2500 that
1:15:52 RSVP let's say half of those show up
1:15:54 that's 12200 people you know let's hope
1:15:57 that a third of those are students
1:15:58 because you may you may have an
1:16:00 opportunity to uh to at least reach 300
1:16:03 of them tomorrow or you know whatever
1:16:05 your session is so that's awesome uh
1:16:07 fantastic Michelle what are your
1:16:09 thoughts I'm connecting all of this back
1:16:11 to what both you and Cindy were saying
1:16:14 earlier I mean Cindy was saying herself
1:16:16 and Matt and I are not alone in this
1:16:18 because I've had a few exchanges with
1:16:20 Matt on LinkedIn it's like okay deep
1:16:22 breath you know you get so frustrated
1:16:25 with with school and it's education is
1:16:29 is notoriously not first to adopt things
1:16:33 and they go very slow because of some of
1:16:34 the cautions that Tracy brought up but
1:16:37 even connecting it to government as as
1:16:40 Cindy brought up earlier it's
1:16:42 oftentimes the consequence of you spent
1:16:45 a lot of time telling everybody this was
1:16:47 bad you spent a lot of time telling
1:16:49 everybody oh that's the lazy way out I
1:16:51 think Nate even talked about that there
1:16:53 was a lot of Suspicion initially
1:16:56 in multiple Industries and now we're
1:16:59 coming to this with the hopes that you
1:17:01 know with this event we can just learn
1:17:05 collectively that was one of the things
1:17:07 that I one of the reasons why I started
1:17:09 the podcast was because people wanted to
1:17:12 learn more about what was going on who's
1:17:16 doing this where can I find out more
1:17:18 information and so this idea of bringing
1:17:20 people to the table that are willing to
1:17:22 talk about it like we all are doing over
1:17:25 the next two days I think it's vital
1:17:28 that we take advantage of this and I'm
1:17:29 so grateful that it's free you know I to
1:17:32 sit in on Matt session and listen and
1:17:34 pick his brain and talk to him I get to
1:17:37 sit with Tracy and think about all of
1:17:39 these different things learn from Nate
1:17:41 learn from Kimberly it's just going to
1:17:42 be yeah I think one of those Priceless
1:17:45 opportunities that we need to have more
1:17:47 and more of to get to that Tipping Point
1:17:50 where we can get past the fear yep and I
1:17:54 think I think you know that the the
1:17:56 student of Mr K's that you know was
1:17:59 quick on the draw of it can't give you a
1:18:01 hug I mean I think part of what we'll
1:18:04 experience tomorrow in Festivus is every
1:18:06 person that speaks is going to humanize
1:18:09 some other aspect of AI right so
1:18:11 especially for people who are just
1:18:13 afraid of it or just mad at it right or
1:18:16 just whatever they might be I was told
1:18:18 it was evil so therefore it's evil
1:18:20 whatever whatever that is I feel like
1:18:22 every one of those that someone
1:18:24 experiences is another were like oh well
1:18:26 Nate was kind of cool like like he had a
1:18:28 cool book collection right you know like
1:18:31 every one of us humanized another piece
1:18:33 of this and so hopefully hopefully this
1:18:35 becomes an on-ramp not just for the
1:18:38 education piece like how do I use AI but
1:18:40 like even how do I think about AI is is
1:18:43 where I think we've got massive impact
1:18:46 that that is is gonna happen this
1:18:48 weekend so with that um Let me let me
1:18:50 just say one more thing yeah fin Yeah
1:18:52 final words and we'll we'll get yall out
1:18:53 of here um Matt I dabbled in your in
1:18:57 your realm for a second last week I have
1:18:59 a friend who's a he's a full-time
1:19:01 blogger makes a living doing it he's
1:19:03 been successful for like 10 years he has
1:19:06 a few learning barriers and he was just
1:19:07 talking about in one of his latest posts
1:19:10 about how he's been trying to use chat
1:19:12 GPT to help him learn differently I was
1:19:14 like that's really cool let's get on a
1:19:16 call and I can build you a tool that can
1:19:19 it can adap adapt any of five or 10
1:19:22 different Frameworks of learning you
1:19:23 know whatever you choose however you
1:19:25 like it reflected back to you however
1:19:26 you like to to learn and investigate so
1:19:29 we had a fun two and a half hour session
1:19:32 of just exploring and I and I I've built
1:19:35 a bot called The Constructor bot that
1:19:37 helps me build other Bots instantly and
1:19:39 it just so because that's what I do for
1:19:41 a living kind of now so like I'm feeding
1:19:44 our data into Constructor bot of what we
1:19:46 need and it's interviewing us and asking
1:19:48 questions and we're talking about it's
1:19:49 formulating this this product or this
1:19:52 tool and at the end of the day we built
1:19:54 it and I gave it to him and it's like
1:19:56 then we spent 30 40 minutes just playing
1:19:59 with it and learning things in a fun way
1:20:02 and it's like I I I'm excited for
1:20:04 teachers at this time because you can
1:20:07 build things that get your kids
1:20:10 imaginations fired up in a different way
1:20:12 than they're used to and maybe some kids
1:20:13 learn differently than others but this
1:20:15 will help them right and that's really
1:20:18 cool yeah I agree with that absolutely I
1:20:21 mean I stepped outside of my comfort
1:20:23 zone for a second because we wanted to
1:20:25 do something pretty old school in
1:20:27 education we wanted to me and another
1:20:29 teacher wanted to teach our kids uh math
1:20:32 facts and get them to memorize them
1:20:34 which memorizing has kind of gone away
1:20:37 and it shows and it shows so uh I had
1:20:42 Claude well I started with Claude and
1:20:44 then I used chat gbt c um canvas to
1:20:47 write me a simple HTML game that asked
1:20:51 the kids random multiplication facts it
1:20:54 had a one minute timer and then it got
1:20:57 it gave them a score at the end which
1:20:59 was digits correct per minute and we use
1:21:01 that data to see how much they've grown
1:21:04 over you know each day oh that's cool
1:21:08 doing this thing and it was following
1:21:10 the framework of another program but
1:21:13 this guy had it done in person and you
1:21:15 had to check every kid's thing every day
1:21:18 we did it one day it took us like three
1:21:20 hours at night to check every kids and
1:21:23 that was one day and we had to do this
1:21:25 every day and we're like yeah that's not
1:21:27 happening so I said let's build
1:21:28 something with it and we did and I'm not
1:21:31 a I know zero I know nothing about
1:21:34 coding at all and it was just like here
1:21:37 you go and then I'm like I literally
1:21:39 asked it how do I use
1:21:41 this it's like here do this and I did it
1:21:44 and it worked and I was like okay cool
1:21:45 yeah you but you knew the most important
1:21:47 thing you knew what you wanted to to
1:21:49 accomplish and I mean that's sort of the
1:21:51 thing like you know Kimberly right she's
1:21:52 got a vision she's like she knows she's
1:21:54 got this thing in her head and she like
1:21:56 she knows where she wants to get to and
1:21:58 then the trick is like I mean I kind of
1:22:01 feel like you know the education thing
1:22:02 it's like you know the librarian when
1:22:05 you're sitting in the library use your
1:22:06 words you know it's like I feel like
1:22:08 we're just in that thing like just learn
1:22:09 to use your words with these tools and
1:22:11 know what you want and then just you
1:22:13 know keep iterating until you figure out
1:22:15 how to get there um Michelle really
1:22:17 quickly someone asked what's the name of
1:22:18 your podcast I think they want to check
1:22:20 out your podcast oh okay it's empowered
1:22:23 by AI women entrepreneurs leading the
1:22:25 way great well listen thank you thank
1:22:28 you all so much I know it's Mr K it's
1:22:30 very late for you whoever's on the East
1:22:31 Coast uh my apologies because I start
1:22:33 these things late so thank you for
1:22:35 coming and hanging out um this is great
1:22:38 I'm I'm really excited about um about

1:24:04 thought we were three hours ahead not
1:24:08 two
1:24:12 the you're three hours ahead
1:24:16 of Pacific time two hours ahead of where
1:24:19 I am so I'm starting tomorrow at 10:00
1:24:21 a.m. but it's 9:00 a.m. Pacific so
1:24:25 that was fun excellent all right let's
1:24:27 go look at some comments we were all
1:24:29 stunned into silence um yeah that was a
1:24:33 really cool conversation wasn't it like
1:24:35 I mean that's a thing like here's what
1:24:37 strikes me about about that conversation
1:24:40 and and everyone in the conversation is
1:24:43 everyone is like really down to earth
1:24:47 because nobody's really mastered
1:24:50 anything yet everyone's like uh I'm
1:24:52 trying to figure it out
1:24:55 I'm sort of getting there you know
1:24:57 that's where we are right now that's
1:24:59 absolutely where we are right now and I
1:25:01 think that's going to be an amazing I
1:25:03 think just that little nugget alone if
1:25:05 you take nothing away from tomorrow I
1:25:07 think one of the things you're G to take
1:25:09 away is that why not give it a shot like
1:25:12 all of these people have just given it a
1:25:15 shot and some you know less than a year
1:25:18 right some for two years but like that's
1:25:20 the biggest window right now is November
1:25:23 30th 2022 if you were right on top of it
1:25:26 you're two years into this thing right
1:25:29 what's Malcolm Gladwell say you know you
1:25:31 need 10,000
1:25:32 hours about about 10 years to master
1:25:35 something well we ain't
1:25:38 close we're all just starting so all
1:25:42 right let's see are there any social
1:25:45 posts to share there's yours look wait
1:25:49 why is it not showing there you
1:25:51 go there's your social post to share
1:25:55 um it was very reassuring to know that
1:25:57 I'm not the only one who was struggling
1:25:58 to figure this out no I mean like it was
1:26:01 every single person was was some version
1:26:04 of you know Michelle she wanted to put
1:26:06 out this podcast and hope hope she got
1:26:09 people that were interested in it and
1:26:10 all of a sudden there are and she's just
1:26:12 trying to figure out even how to talk
1:26:14 about it what to talk about um let's see
1:26:18 there are so many people that are going
1:26:20 to be speaking Yeah it's amazing Shan
1:26:22 saww registered great thank you very
1:26:23 much Lor K thinks this is very
1:26:27 exciting um Rick Rick loved the hug
1:26:30 comment from Mr K I thought that was
1:26:32 great was really
1:26:35 good you know if if AI can do all the
1:26:37 stuff you can do what good are humans we
1:26:39 can give you a hug and I you know it's
1:26:43 funny as as simple as that is like the
1:26:46 answer is yes like the value of human
1:26:49 interaction goes up the value of empathy
1:26:53 goes up the the value of live
1:26:56 performance and and authentic experience
1:26:59 goes
1:27:00 up right maybe the robots free us up
1:27:06 they do all the shitty work that crushes
1:27:09 our soul and frees us up to be better
1:27:11 humans that's a very real possibility
1:27:14 and so that was I I like that's a little
1:27:17 bit of what I felt tonight was like
1:27:18 there just everyone to a person had this
1:27:21 this hope and this optimism and and and
1:27:25 just this willingness to go well I'll
