20. 5:01welcome I'm Kyle Shannon this is the AI learning lab and and man tomorrow tomorrow the hell am I doing with my
21. 5:11life wait where how how can you see me there there yeah well hang on over here we'll do we'll do like this there you go
22. 5:21so okay now you can see me the hell am I doing with my life so tomorrow we're starting this uh this what's now become an annual
23. 5:32tradition of giving a ridiculous amount of value for no money so tomorrow begins AI Festivus so if if you don't know what AI
24. 5:43Festivus is I'm gonna well that's what tonight's gonna be all about we've got so an Murphy and I Ann Murphy is from
25. 5:50she leads Ai and myself representing the um AI salon are putting on this thing AI festivas so it starts at 9:00 a.m. Pacific tomorrow
26. 6:08we go for 12 hours because we know how to live and we've got 34 speakers over 24 sessions in two days so it's all day

35. 7:40Workshop so each each Workshop will go and then it ends when it ends we'll take a little break so between each workshops
36. 7:46a little break and we're just going to go all day and the way I think about it is if you can do it just have it on in the
37. 7:53background and if if something sounds interesting to you lean in and if not just let it be there in osmosis and hear

41. 8:38of will you be recording the sessions for replay we will techie Becky um we're going to record the whole thing and
42. 8:49um we're gonna have we we've we've created a standalone space for festiv us on the AI salon so during the day people
43. 8:58can hang out and they can chat and they can do showand tell so so we've got a whole area there that that we're going
44. 9:03to talk about and actually you know if you're here tonight and you're part of the salon um go check out it's the space

47. 9:28as we do the recordings and things like that they're going to all be available on the salon first and if you don't know
48. 9:34what the salon is shame on you shame on you it's just it's so bad go to the salon. and then click on there's a
49. 9:46button there that says join our community and if you go there that's the AI Salon it's a it's a community of more than
50. 9:532,000 Ai optimists and creators and Builders and some technologists a lot of creatives um it's really an amazing
51. 10:03group um so that's going to be the kind of networking during the day will happen at the salon the um the workshops will
52. 10:12happen throughout the day on a on on a zoom webinar session and uh yeah it's going to be just absolutely amazing absolutely
53. 10:22amazing amazing Johnny tell him what he's won um hang on excuse [Laughter]
54. 10:41me oh man all right [Music] so how is everyone's holiday where H is
55. 10:55everyone's holiday I guess we're all in the middle of it right now aren't we I'm still fighting with chat GPT not
56. 11:05responding to me chat GPT was down for hours today um I went to talk to my girlfriend Quinn and she was just a black dot she
57. 11:15never materialized um I had four or five questions I needed answered [Music] today and I was at a loss I do not know
58. 11:27how to use my brain anymore it's so funny people people early on would ask questions like well if this Tool's so creative aren't aren't you
59. 11:36going to be less creative and like the what what ends up being the case is you end up being more creative and you end
60. 11:43up being um more intellectually stimulated so long as you've got the tool by your side the minute it's gone you're
61. 11:53like what am I supposed to do here how does i' well so so that's you know that's [Music]
62. 12:10that Vicky Vicky had luck all day today good only had a couple of brief hiccups on mine today yeah it was down hard it
63. 12:18was everything including Sora was down it was like all their servers were down so I don't know what what they did but
64. 12:25it weren't it weren't pretty it was nice to have Claude as a back or Gemini I mean that's the thing is there's so many
65. 12:32of these tools now that it's just crazy um that that Chinese company quen I think it's quen Q qwen I think is the name of the company
66. 12:47um they launched today an open-source model with all the weights so it's basically you you you have the keys to the kingdom with it um
67. 13:00that is better than gp4 almost as good as Claude Sonet for coding and it's much smaller and it was trained on it was
68. 13:16like two 2,000 yeah 2,000 gpus a very small amount basically $5.5 million of compute over two months and they created a model um that's as
69. 13:33good as as the biggest Frontier models right now and it's a really interesting thing because I don't know if you
70. 13:38remember but but Congress passed a law that said the chips that we sell to China have to be have to have their
71. 13:48super powerful stuff decommissioned we can't send them the good stuff right what it did was it forced them to innovate with less powerful
72. 13:57chips so now now they're creating models as good as our models for like $5 million which you know to just you and I
73. 14:07sounds like a lot of money but to the 10 billion dollars that open AI blew through in about a week and a half um$ million is
74. 14:17nothing fascinating [Music] what the hell who signed me into this
75. 14:34[Music] account all right let's see what we got all right Brandon is back very nice good
76. 14:50to see you all right so anybody has any questions pop them in the comments below when we get an and we got Cindy we we got Nate St Pierre
77. 15:00coming we'll bring them up on stage and we'll talk talk turkey about AI Festivus by the way if you're new
78. 15:09here this is the AI learning lab and tomorrow starts this thing AI Festivus if you have not registered for
79. 15:22this do it Teton skier if I win the Mega Millions tomorrow I'll pay all the Festivus bills that's good actually ton here because so a
80. 15:35Funny Thing Happened on the Way to putting together a little a little workshop Aon that that we organized in
81. 15:42two weeks a couple of things one is an an and the team that put this thing together in two weeks this does not look
82. 15:49like a two- we event um I contributed some ideas to it but the execution of this thing like just really happened
83. 15:56incredibly quickly and Incredibly well so if you go to AI festiv us.com you just register right there um the
84. 16:03conversion rate to register for this thing is Bonkers it's like 60 70% um from people that go to the website to
85. 16:12register websites do not convert like that also we were hoping that maybe we would have um I don't know uh uh you
86. 16:25know 300 maybe 400 people registered and then maybe half that would show up because that was you know last year I
87. 16:32think we had 150 for the for GPT for good um we have had more than 2500 people sign up it's absolutely amazing
88. 16:41so anyway so go register for that now speaking of that it looks like we have got some people [Music] here let's bring some people up
89. 16:58[Music] let's bring people up yo
90. 17:14hello Cindy Josh are you late you're not late you're early yeah yeah so tomorrow's FES of us here are two of our speakers hello hello I'm
91. 17:30excited so so why don't you each just introduce yourself quickly just give us a little sneak peek of what you're G to
92. 17:37be talking about and then uh and then let's just Jam a little bit let's I want to hear like what's going on how are the
93. 17:44holidays all that sort of stuff but why don't we do some intros first you got it Cindy okay I'll go hi all I'm Cindy and
94. 17:59um I'm psyched so I'm actually up for the Festivus day on Saturday I will be on in the Saturday afternoon and I'm talking about AI
95. 18:15mindset and what we're specifically going to do together is build an AI mindset tool belt o gonna take the AI
96. 18:28Minds at goodies and you're GNA make a du Bel with images and everything and so and so AI mindset is what just like what
97. 18:37is that give me give me like one or two specific things that that actually means yep so it's eight different elements and
98. 18:44it's the idea that if you are open-minded and collaborative and Brave and Bold and curious and all of these
99. 18:54things you are going to have a better time of it and if you are not those things the AI world is going to be
100. 19:03tougher on you so the idea is jump in be open-minded we're going to walk through those things that should be on your tool
101. 19:13belt for mindset so not AI tools that you need to use but what is the space your mind needs to be in so that you're
102. 19:24open to all the tools I think that I think that's so important I mean it's like you know this channel started
103. 19:30essentially as a tool Channel here's a cool tool here's how to use it right and I and I think you know you you and I met
104. 19:36essentially geeking out on tools and I think where you and I have both gotten is one you can't keep up with them and
105. 19:42two and two it's it's not about the tools right it's about what you do with them and all that sort of stuff so
106. 19:47that's super exciting awesome all right good thank you thank you and Josh let me unmute you here there's a little
107. 19:52background noise so I muted you so um all good hey thanks for doing that yeah man hi uh I'm Josh I will be talking about
108. 20:01simplifying the AI adoption process from a Consulting perspective to like client relationships so we've found over the
109. 20:09past couple of years through doing this on the Consulting side at just how noisy everything gets when you jump around
110. 20:16tools when you jump around uh kind of a tech perspective first instead of just like helping people figure out what do
111. 20:22they what should they do or could they do with the tools yeah um so we're sharing what we've learned we're inviting people to
112. 20:29kind of walk with us in this new like my new rule in like path forward is far less jargony and Consulting complicated
113. 20:38and rather just meeting people where they're at focusing on quick wins because the quick wins can build
114. 20:43momentum and that momentum can lead to True change uh versus the kind of like structured change management top down
115. 20:51leadership approach that we started with for a couple years we just found there's a an easier way that actually makes an
116. 20:56impact so I'm really excited to share on Saturday I think it's like yeah midafternoon that's great eastern I
117. 21:03guess middle of the day Pacific okay cool and and what's your what are you seeing and and Cindy jump in because I'd
118. 21:10like to hear what you're seeing as well are are are you see so so here's where here's where where my questions coming
119. 21:16from last year we did a similar kind of event to this we had 150 people this year we've got 2500 have registered
120. 21:25um now part of that is we had an influence are to boost us which helped a lot and I also think that 2 200 people
121. 21:34registering for something on the weekend between Christmas and New Year's is weird it's like it's weirdly High um and
122. 21:41so I'm just curious if you Josh start with you and then you Cindy are are you seeing any shift in your client base
123. 21:48either they're more hungry or they're more ready is there any of that shift happening you feel definitely um I think
124. 21:55the appetite of like I say normal business person and I mean it in the best way possible versus like Tech proo
125. 22:01yeah uh normal business people are now like entering their early adopter phase so what I look at for the past two years
126. 22:08everything that's happened with geni specifically has been like early adopter and techies getting all excited and
127. 22:14being willing to try something new and test something that doesn't quite work yet and now that there's a lot more
128. 22:19convincing intelligence available uh I think the world is waking up and people are starting to have fomo and I think
129. 22:26the fomo of like what if we don't do something like we missed 2024 Business Leaders are thinking this at least the
130. 22:32ones we're working with yeah we didn't do anything or we don't know what everybody's doing on our team and we
131. 22:37want to just figure it out now um so it feels like there's a whole new wave of people waking up to what is the stuff
132. 22:44they're learning how to spell AI they're learning how to um basically start to look and investigate themselves but what
133. 22:51they're finding is now that there's two years worth of noise and jargon and people in the tech space like pushing um
134. 22:57for this it's very very hard to just like focus on what matters figure out what's going to work and then everybody
135. 23:04keeps asking the same question at least from our side which is where do we start and what should we like what should we
136. 23:10do like what's the use case is is the thing we hear the most yeah yeah yeah exactly exactly are you would would you
137. 23:18say that there's more activity is the from the fomo perspective is there more activity in the SE Suite middle
138. 23:25management or like Rank and file execution for I think middle management is where I've at least worked with most people just
139. 23:34because they're getting pressure from the top down they're get AI boy yeah yeah well it's like well maybe and what
140. 23:42I'm hoping is it's the we're in the end of that phase and it's more like Executives like wait what is this I oh
141. 23:47yeah we got a lot of projects that were like hey middle manager go figure this out and report back to us yeah and then
142. 23:54we found like this was a big Catalyst for sh my shift in focus from like the tech side to like the teaching side or
143. 24:01more training I say than teaching because we don't just do education we like work with people um to build their
144. 24:05skills the the pressure that's coming from Board of board of directors from seite is really heavy on middle
145. 24:13management um they're trying to figure out the answers to these qu you know how are how is your team using AI we we put
146. 24:20the AI initiative forth we've invested in everybody's accounts what's everybody doing um so middle managers are looking
147. 24:26for answers and by and large Consultants are giving you know 100 page documents that are implementation strategies of
148. 24:33not just by chat GPT but also automation but also data Lake but also over you know Tech transformation and that's not
149. 24:40really a good answer what we found um it doesn't answer the question of what should we be doing yeah okay cool how
150. 24:47about how about you Cindy and I've got um CJ and Michelle here so I'm GNA bring them up soon um and we can I'm happy to
151. 24:53do this either way if you guys want to hang out you're welcome to hang out we can have just keep growing this
152. 24:58conversation but also if you want to go do like family things you're welcome to to check out so um but I just want
153. 25:05people to get get a chance to meet you um but Cindy what are you seeing on the on the adoption front because and you're
154. 25:11also you do a lot of work in government stuff but now you're doing more private sector as well as far as I understand so
155. 25:18just what tell tell me what you're seeing in your your Wacky World yeah I mean most of my work is government
156. 25:26military government agencies but um I do do some corporate commercial Enterprise stuff and I'll tell you kind of a
157. 25:34springboard off Jo what Josh was saying what I'm seeing more than anything is it's a permission space so for the
158. 25:44first time in this twoyear run I'm finally seeing both professional and per and personal there's and I think Josh was
159. 25:56saying there's this sort of intelligent collected enough over two years that there's proof now that okay this one
160. 26:03it's not going away two maybe some people are getting some good stuff out of it so I'm not seeing any sense of full adoption I will
161. 26:14say that by permission space what I mean is same thing Josh is seeing I'm seeing SE Suite looking down saying okay now
162. 26:25we're going to give you guys some permission to get in there and play and what that's requiring though which
163. 26:31is why I'm really interested in AI mindset is you told all these people for the last two years students employees
164. 26:39everybody everywhere don't touch it it's bad a evil and now you're saying oh well maybe we need you you know employees students
165. 26:51everybody maybe we need you to get in there and mess with that well how are we going to get over that hurdle of you
166. 26:56scared the crap out of them for two years that it was dark and evil yeah so I think right now we're at a space where it really is
167. 27:05about little permission slips to enter to play and so everybody I'm working with they are nowhere near the point of
168. 27:17actually learning the tools or actually engaging in a real project yet they're now just realizing okay the only way to
169. 27:26step in is little ounces of PL here and there and everybody gets permission for those play experiences and that's kind
170. 27:33of where everybody else is fascinating I like I'm I'm really curious I I personally don't think that any of those
171. 27:42things can be a success if the C Suite isn't playing as well yep and it sounds like you're both saying yeah you guys go
172. 27:50figure it out like it just so that's that just says to me we're we're still early let me let me bring up um do do
173. 27:58either if you want to run or you want to hang out I'll hang hang great let me bring up Michelle and CJ CJ what's happening hi everybody
174. 28:12hello hello hello so we're just gonna slowly grow this conversation so so what Cindy and Josh have already done is
175. 28:19introduce themselves and what their what their role is in AI Festivus and what their role is just in life so uh so I'd
176. 28:27love for you both to just jump in and do the same who would like to go first ladies first or or CJ what do you think
177. 28:33ladies first I I defer to the to the good person from M empowered by AI fantastic he Michelle a thank you well I
178. 28:42am Michelle man Silva owered by AI uh podcast host and I have been um really coming to all of this learner first um
179. 28:54because I just I am soaking up everything like what Cindy just said what Josh just said absolutely loving
180. 29:02that and can Echo um some of that as well talking to all of these women that I've been interviewing on the podcast
181. 29:10it's just been I think Kyle used the word earlier hungry it's like there I I really did think when I first started
182. 29:17out interviewing people God I hope I can find 12 women that are really willing to talk about how they're moving AI forward
183. 29:26and their moving their business forward with AI and now I I think I'm gonna have to start running bi-weekly
184. 29:34episodes just to keep because there are so many women that are like wait a minute wait a minute and I found kind of
185. 29:42to Echo what you both said earlier is that there's different layers of experimenting with AI that people are
186. 29:52ready to talk about we have people that are Consultants like Cindy like Josh that want to come to the table and want
187. 29:59to talk and then we also have these people that are business owners implementing in small steps and so they not only want to listen to the
188. 30:11podcast to hear from women about how women are also doing this but they also want to be able to shed a little light
189. 30:19and share their challenges yep um what they're struggling with and so it's been really interesting to watch this kind of
190. 30:26format unfold with the podcast we've become almost too tiered in the way we do our interviews in that sometimes
191. 30:34we're talking to people that have been in the field for a really long time and have a lot of experience to share and
192. 30:41then on the other hand we're talking to women who are talking about okay here's what I'm struggling with right now this
193. 30:48is what I'm doing to try to get through that yeah it that it's awesome and it's like I think that's I I think one of the
194. 30:54things that's hit me recently is J is not AI so if you've been in AI for decades gen AI is a different thing
195. 31:03right post chat GPT the world is different it's it's just it's they're general purpose models right and it
196. 31:09changes things and I think that idea of and and this is one of the things I'm I'm so excited about for FES of us it's
197. 31:15like we've got people talking about kind of everything from every angle and like that's part of the joy we've got we've
198. 31:22got members of four different communities have come together to just volunteer their time this weekend to
199. 31:27talk from all these different points of view and and I experienced this in the early days of the web but I'm
200. 31:33experiencing it kind of really intensely here that sometimes people come in with what they think is something that's
201. 31:40really obvious to them and really non they think it's non-important and they share well I just figured out this
202. 31:46little nugget right and they think well but that's just obvious because that's what I know and then everyone else on
203. 31:50the Call's like oh my God that's mind-blowing I never would have thought about it like that so I think that's
204. 31:55just it it's just an incredible time so congrat on the podcast and it's it's really exciting to hear that uh that the cup
205. 32:04runthe that's awesome uh CJ okay hi everybody again I'm I'm CJ Fletcher African-American male with black and gold hair and a black and
206. 32:15white goatee uh I will be uh at Festivus leading the life beyond mid Journey uh section of the day tomorrow uh and what
207. 32:26I will be going over is is narrative storytelling when it comes to image making um part of my background has been
208. 32:33a Storyteller and so I have changed the way that I tell my story so that now they're all on one sheets of pieces of
209. 32:41paper digital or otherwise so I will be going into the ins and outs of my workflow uh for those of you who are
210. 32:49looking to step up a little bit with your image making maybe there are things that uh you haven't thought about that I
211. 32:54might bring to you and maybe within the conversation there there are ways that you are going to enlighten me that some
212. 33:00things that maybe I haven't thought about when it come down to my generative art um I run City inter Siege designs uh
213. 33:07and I've gotten I've gotten some stuff around around the globe here and there and uh other than that I'm I'm just
214. 33:13looking forward to it really this is this is gonna be a lot of fun for me to watch everybody talk about things that I
215. 33:20know zero about because I just make pretty pictures and I love hearing all the technical sides of stuff yep well I
216. 33:27want to I I want to I want to push back a little bit on something with you the I just make pretty pictures
217. 33:34thing you don't just do anything so CJ is like when CJ explained at an AI Salon meeting I don't know this was probably
218. 33:44close to a year ago he goes oh here's how I made this art and he showed us this beautiful art and then he walked us
219. 33:49through the process of it and it melted my brain because as an ADHD guy I just make art like I'm like if I'm two or
220. 33:57three PS in I'm like I'm exhausted I'm done I'm good and I just I just publish what's out there your workflow is
221. 34:03remarkable you run deep because you have a very specific thing you're trying to achieve in mind yes yes I I do um and
222. 34:12it's interesting over the past 365 how workflow changes and gets refined as the technology expands um I'm
223. 34:21finding that it's catching up a little bit to what's the the the stuff that's the crazy things that are going going
224. 34:27around in my Noggin so it's getting a little easier to get some of that uh of that flow out of here onto a screen but
225. 34:35uh it's still there are still times when I I have to run I have to run very large uh iterations I'm looking at a a page
226. 34:44over here with about about 60 of one image that I'm just working on at the moment for a gallery yeah and just one quick question
227. 34:54about a year ago it's one of one of the favorite things anyone ever said said to me you said to me my goal is in five
228. 35:01years to be in Moma is that still a goal and are you on track 100% um so just so for everyone else to know I Want U my
229. 35:11goal is to get the to have the art into New York Moma or San Francisco Moma so I sat down with chat GPT and its early
230. 35:20iterations and ran all sorts of computations and questions and conversations through it and we developed a fiveyear plan together on
231. 35:29what it's going to take to get myself there and I'm on track we've We've Ended year one and I've met every Benchmark so
232. 35:36far um year two now is going to be about getting more things in local galleries so I can have some more local exposure
233. 35:45but the the digital Galleries and the the worldwide presence all of those things were met as well as making the
234. 35:52money that I needed to make to continue on my lavished lifestyle of luxury great I love it I love it um all right so we
235. 36:01got some some more folks here um Kimberly welcome good to see you um you're muted there you go you got yeah
236. 36:07there I am can you hear me yeah all right cool hey everybody just introduce yourself and yeah tell us tell us you
237. 36:14know what you do and what you're G to be doing for festiv us okay so U my name is Kimberly offord and I am happy to be
238. 36:21here I I'm new to the new to the group and really happy to be amongst um um shall I say um the cool kids
239. 36:32and the cool kids it's true yeah yeah um but my uh Workshop that I'm going to be doing is uh photo photo realistic images
240. 36:42and video and I am dissecting the uh recent video that I did for uh Lila haway I did a her tunnels uh video she
241. 36:52commissioned me to do that video for her new her album that's out now and was just nominated or Grammy and um did that
242. 37:00video and I'm going to dissect it and just kind of talk about a little bit of you know that process um of that
243. 37:08workflow process and you know um there are a lot of people who are doing this and they're not as great as
244. 37:16CJ and you know they're they're not they're trying to figure out you know hey how can I make a living of this you
245. 37:24know I'm I'm pretty halfway good and you know just what the opportunities that are out there so I'm going to talk about
246. 37:30that just a little bit um and try to kind of get in dig into the video a little bit but um I do I am a marketing
247. 37:39and branding person at heart and um at uh birth I guess you could say and I just kind of fell into this um AI world
248. 37:50and the AI world of images and storytelling um so you know that's that's that's me and that's who I am did you did you do you have a visual
249. 37:59background prior to prior to the AI stuff so I've always been a creative All My Life um but I've never been I've been
250. 38:10a Avid art collector and Avid um you know art collector of original art um you walk into my house that's all you
251. 38:20see is original art um all over the place looks like a museum so you know what you like so you have an eye I have
252. 38:27an eye I have an eye and an ear um because I try to a lot of what I do is inspired by music um and if the music
253. 38:37doesn't Inspire the image the image inspires what music I put with it um so you know I'm I took piano lessons as a
254. 38:46kid but I was never good enough to be a professional musician you know so that's where it all my dog sings better than I
255. 38:53do so so I I relate I've heard your dog I've heard yeah the dog the dog's killing it like you know could have gotten into jard but
256. 39:02he was a bit of a punk um no I'm one of the things I'm really excited about is I think that there's going to be kind of
257. 39:09three kinds of people that emerge um out of this AI stuff and you know the first is going to be just people that resist
258. 39:18it and I just I feel bad for them and part of why we do this is to get as many people up to speed as possible and then
259. 39:24some of the people are going to be people who were artists before and leverage AI to like really amplify
260. 39:30their creativity and then the third is going to be people who were not necessarily doing whatever the discipline was before programming art
261. 39:38writing whatever it might have been but have a desire to do that now all of a sudden they can and I think the
262. 39:43Innovation we're going to see from those those latter two groups I think is fascinating so I'm super excited for you
263. 39:49that's that's really awesome really really glad to have you here um let's see let's go with Nate St Pierre you you look like you're you're
264. 39:59in a monk you're in a in a wait a monastery got the books yeah I hey good to see you good I don't I don't think monasteries have these books
265. 40:14though yeah good to see you guys too it's fun to check in at like I check in with you guys like once a week or
266. 40:20something it's nice to get out of my cave for a minute yeah it's good see real people yeah exactly so tell us tell
267. 40:26us a little bit about your background and and what you're going to be teaching folks during Festival um I don't know if I'm teaching
268. 40:33so much I'm kind of like comic relief I think I'm just going to do a creative session and just have fun and show
269. 40:39people what's possible um going from zero to uh well my background is um kind of like um a couple of you guys have a
270. 40:48marketing background in general but uh been doing AI for about a year off and on um but the thing I'm kind of um Pres
271. 40:57presenting on is couple of my tools have gone kind of big over in the Hollywood land for screenwriters so um people are using them to make
272. 41:06movies and um I I have a bunch of a World building I started with some World building stuff a year ago and then that
273. 41:13translated into um script development stuff for editors out in laway um so that's kind of what I'm presenting on just like how to go
274. 41:23from one line of a thought in your head to fully devel Ved plot characters research World building physics culture
275. 41:33um just rapid ideation and exploration of ideas and all my writing tools they do everything but write none of them
276. 41:39will actually write for you at all because writers write and AI should help do everything else I think but I mean
277. 41:47personally I don't really care if AI writes a book for me if I enjoy the book I'll read it one way or another but most
278. 41:54writers write because they want to write right that's why they do it right like they don't want AI writing for them so
279. 42:01I'm building tools that the wga likes and isn't striking against they're actually like I'm giving power to the
280. 42:08writers to expand their worlds and run down you know break down uh show ideas from one season to the next in a rapid
281. 42:16succession with a writer room of four people and you can explore four different seasons of of a show with four
282. 42:21different ideas all in the space of an hour um rather than Breaking that out over a course of a week or so and then
283. 42:28you can write to what you want so uh my session is just going to be about creating um story people and then I do I
284. 42:35dabble and mid Journey a little bit I'm not I'm not an expert in any one thing really but I'm kind of good at putting
285. 42:40everything together um so I'll show I'll show some of the um Bridge programs I wrote to convert like if we're doing a
286. 42:50character sketch over here in the writing app we can quickly convert that to mid-journey language to Output very
287. 42:56quickly like character sketches that work and so in the space of like you know 30 seconds you can go from ideation to
288. 43:05illustration yeah yeah so it'll just be fun yeah yeah Nate's another one who who s sells himself a little short sometimes
289. 43:14just in terms of you know he's talking about these tools in a in a kind of less formal way they're very very impressive
290. 43:19tools did you you had a story when we talked in an office hours back you said something about like one of the screen
291. 43:27writers you were talking to was a little skeptical and was like you know well let me see what you can do with this and he
292. 43:32gave you a script or something and can you just tell that like you you turned it around really quick and what was his
293. 43:37response oh um maybe the one you're talking about is so I'll tell you this as a result of these tools I've built
294. 43:45I've done now over a dozen live sessions with like screenwriters directors and producers you would recognize from like
295. 43:53legit um billion dooll box office shows and every single one of them have said this is better than anything we have in
296. 44:01Hollywood right now for these to wow wow and I have not read one single page of any one of their scripts and I've done
297. 44:10live developmental editing sessions with them so awesome and the and the the tools you know the tools that we have
298. 44:18available to us now I'm a I'm a bit of a writer and editor in my real life so I like I can bridge that Gap and work the
299. 44:24tools but it's like it's the machines that are doing the work right right yeah and just I think people don't realize
300. 44:30the strength of these properly architected and properly system prompted that you can make magic happen for
301. 44:36people and it just blows their mind so yeah um yeah I actually worked with a the the one I think you're talking about
302. 44:43is there was a developmental editor he does this for a living that's right he helps writers with their scripts you
303. 44:48know professional writers yeah that's and he said he was skeptical because someone had told him about it so he said
304. 44:54why don't you do a demo I'm going to bring you a script that that I'm going to bring you a screenplay that I've
305. 44:59never published on the web so AI doesn't know anything about it and we'll just see what you can do in an hour and so
306. 45:06again I just showed up blank and was like all right give me your script let's do it and at the end of the hour he was
307. 45:12like this is multiple times better than anything I provide my clients so I want to sell this into Stage 32 which was one
308. 45:19of the biggest script development firms that he works for wow so right now that's in the process of being sold who
309. 45:26knows those guys all just about raising money and like spending other people's money like it is so frustrating working
310. 45:31out there honestly it's there's very few people actually building things and more people just trying to raise money around
311. 45:37things yeah it's like by the time you spend by the time you raise $2.3 million and get all this like you have a
312. 45:43three-year plan to build all this stuff you're gonna be behind I feel behind and I'm ahead you know compared to the rest
313. 45:49of the world I still feel behind well that's I that's I think a really important Point Nate is that one of the remarkable things about
314. 45:58the AI salon and she leads Ai and this whole community and all of you is that I think all of us to a person don't
315. 46:07feel like we're experts at anything right now right I think we're all just trying to like figure it out and and
316. 46:12like we're making these little incremental steps of understanding we get a little bit better in this direction or that let we drop this
317. 46:20off what I think all I think I think something that is very easy to forget is that we're making incremental
318. 46:28steps in technology that is advancing ex uh exponentially and so for us this is like the relativity of of time this is like
319. 46:38relativ relativity of capabilities where for us it feels like little incremental changes but for someone who hasn't even
320. 46:44played with AI to see that it can anal it can read four different scripts and and you know compare them from four
321. 46:51different writers points of view instantly like no one knows that's POS possible right I think they're thinking
322. 46:58of whatever they thought AI was before like that's how GPS Works they don't know what it means they just think it's
323. 47:04some nebulous thing and when they see it can actually apply to them in this dramatic fashion it's you know so so I
324. 47:12think for AI festiv us again I think each of us to a person individually are going to be like Oh I'm just putting out
325. 47:18this little thing that I do but you know don't forget with 2500 people when was it four months ago 4 7%
326. 47:27of Americans hadn't even heard of chat GPT yet so there's probably going to be a fairly significant population over the next two
327. 47:36days that are just going to have their mind blown session after session after session after session so so you know Pat
328. 47:44yourselves on the back for just being in the conversation because it's really important and speaking of that Tracy
329. 47:50welcome welcome you're gonna talk to us about safety we're all out here pushing the boundaries of this thing and trying to break things
330. 47:58uh just uh uh hear a little bit about you and I'm really excited for your for your panel and uh and catch us up on
331. 48:05what you're GNA talk about okay I am Tracy the safety lady um I've been in the safety business for 29 years I uh
332. 48:13speak across the country I create content um internationally and I host the country's only real estate safety
333. 48:21podcast and every conversation I I must weave AI in because it's important in the real estate world um I um just got a job as a Workforce
334. 48:30Development instructor and um so I am I am saying use AI I use it every day I use it for things that I never thought I
335. 48:40should use it for for example um at the grocery store there is a deli counter and they have the best salad ever and
336. 48:47I'm thinking I go in and buy the salad every day why don't I take a picture of the label ask chat GPT to create a
337. 48:53recipe do the nutritional um information and it's blowing my mind I am not a cooking girl but I'm kind of
338. 49:02sort of getting into cooking now that I I can do things like that um so basically from kids from teenagers I'm a
339. 49:08lead on a project for a stem to keep kids from s to 17 up to date on code and I'm the one that teaches um cyber
340. 49:17security part of it I talk to senior citizens so what I do is I encourage everyone to use the tools use all of the
341. 49:23tools any of the tools but use them safely so people don't understand that the information you put in there is
342. 49:29public information so I have to talk to them about not putting personal financial or proprietary information in
343. 49:35the tools um redact that information but still create whatever it is you need to create I talked to them about um how to
344. 49:42use it to increase their business how to create content that's going to help them generate leads and to build their
345. 49:48business using safety and then the interesting part that people find um that I do is I do Show and Tell I talk
346. 49:55about how cyber criminals use the tools uh to scam and defraud us how they use them to create deep fakes um fishing
347. 50:03emails um social engineering so I have to show and tell and when people see it they don't believe it so my job is to
348. 50:10say be alert be aware that criminals are using these tools and here's what they're doing here's what you need to
349. 50:16watch out for because most of these are um the crimes that are being committed they're preventable and they're
350. 50:23preventable with education so that's what inspires me beautiful love it love it um I just brought Jim Ross up on
351. 50:30stage Jim I'll get to you in a second and I see Joe is backstage but you don't have your camera or mic on so I can't
352. 50:36add you to the stage because I don't know streamyard won't let us see you unless we can see you apparently um but
353. 50:43if you can figure out the camera thing maybe log out and log back in if it's not there um before I get to Jim um if
354. 50:50you're wondering who the hell are these people and where's the dog the dog already sang the dog already sang we're
355. 50:57not bringing the dog back um but for the next two days starting tomorrow morning at 900 a.m Pacific is AI festiv us so the people you see on
356. 51:08stage are some of the 34 people that are going to be presenting over two days we've got 24 sessions so it's basically
357. 51:1712 hours each day 9 to n Pacific time Friday and Saturday doesn't cost a thing go find out more information you can read all of these
358. 51:27everyone's impressive backgrounds and what they're going to be talking about at aif festiv us.com go register we
359. 51:34thought we'd maybe have three or 400 people we've had more than 2500 people sign up for this thing 2500 people so I
360. 51:41don't know how many are G to show but it's a lot so no pressure to any of you on on the call here but but Jim good to
361. 51:49see you sir you too so so do me a favor uh introduce yourself to people and and uh just tell them tell them what you've
362. 51:57been up to with AI and and what you're excited to talk about tomorrow in the session yeah I've been are you tomorrow
363. 52:05or you're Saturday I think you're tomorrow aren't you I think I'm Saturday oh you're Saturday okay fine yeah I
364. 52:10don't know I didn't memorize the schedule well it's hard to when you got a billion people on there it's awesome
365. 52:17exactly no just I'm just gonna have it tuned in all day long and just kind of have it play in the background while I'm
366. 52:23working exactly uh but no I'm uh J us I own a company called Three Mile Storage management I know it's like what do you
367. 52:31want why do you have a self storage guy on a AI event but I think I'm kind of in here just to kind of showcase that man
368. 52:40you can have ai in in anything if I can put it and weave it into my storage business you can figure out how to do it
369. 52:47in your business in one way shape or another and I've just been playing around with it since really since day
370. 52:53one when chat TB kind of came out it was on my rard I just started just just playing and just just kind of be you say
371. 53:02I be curious you know same thing I'm always curious and just trying to try something try something new at least
372. 53:09once a week but I'm I I kind of like just getting that muscle going and just actually using it uh on a daily basis
373. 53:17yeah you do you you have you do it like a practice like you turn on the coffee maker right and then just do like an
374. 53:24hour of AI I I this little timer I just I put the timer on my desk and for 60 minutes as that's going I have ai and
375. 53:35I'm just trying different things I'm in mid Journey I'm doing images I'm doing prompts I'm writing blogs I'm doing
376. 53:42YouTube thumbnails whatever yeah and it's amazing I I get from I get notes from Jim I get notes from Jim regularly
377. 53:51where he's like hey Kyle I'm like what he's like he's like I want another client I'm like what you do this time
378. 53:57you want to tell tell tell people some of the things you've done to win clients because it's bizarre like it's it's a
379. 54:03kind of thing Jim where it's like I I don't think anyone on this call I don't think anyone in the world could imagine
380. 54:10that you could do what you do right to to win clients like sh share a couple of stories because I think they're they're
381. 54:18so fun for one thing it's fun I mean it's I mean you wouldn't think but it's it's highly competitive in my in
382. 54:24Property Management it's it's it's it's a competive industry and when they're kind of raising their hands and they're
383. 54:30interviewing different management companies I got to stand out some way shape or form you know and one that
384. 54:37comes to mind is I was talking with this this uh client and he was actually uh in the car wash business but he's also does storage and
385. 54:48he was his first time in the storage and I don't think I even told you this whole story but anyway as we were
386. 54:54talking basically the the whole foot in the door is my background as crazy as it sounds just having like the AI
387. 55:00background that's the first thing people say is like oh I I like that like yeah yeah I was just kind of you know dinking
388. 55:06around and made this on AI and it's pretty cool huh they're like oh really Ai and so that kind of gets him talking
389. 55:14about it well this guy was talking about his car wash and so I made him a jingle I went and suo and kind of created a a
390. 55:22whole thing for for his car wash business like hey I think you might like this love to you know continue the
391. 55:29conversation about your storage business but you already have this business going and I thought you might like it he
392. 55:34emailed back right away he's like cool that was awesome see you on Monday you know you got the contract for property
393. 55:41management like that was awesome and then literally just today another one that came up is over the weekend I was kind of playing around
394. 55:51with I wanted to do like a 30 second promo for for videos for storage businesses so I you know made the images
395. 56:00put it in a Runway to kind of animate it put them together had uh uh 11 Labs do the voice over put that on top of it had
396. 56:11Ceno do some background music so it was all in AI put it together in about it took me about an hour and a half once I
397. 56:18kind of got the ball rolling and literally today I was talking to someone that has three properties and she was
398. 56:24just like what can I do to stand out I'm in Market blah blah blah I'm like here's something I just threw together I played
399. 56:30it for she was like that was awesome can I use it like yeah I'll make you one in two seconds so I slapped her logo on it gave it to
400. 56:39her that I can directly attribute to just being curious and and passionate about AI yeah I think it kind of rubs
401. 56:48off and they can see that going oh you're actually on the right path you're not like afraid of it and least you you
402. 56:54can kind of see the future where things are going and I that's that's winning me clients yeah it's it's also Jim though
403. 57:02it's you know I noticed this with Kelly Camp I no with a lot of people that are doing well with AI you don't make it about the AI you
404. 57:11make it about you listen to the person and what they're trying to do and then you're just like I know enough of the AI
405. 57:16to go let me just go do that they can't understand how you did it that fast right and that it probably leads to the
406. 57:23AI conversation but what you're actually doing is giving them something valuable to them right that they know should have
407. 57:29taken a week and they just experienced it taking 10 minutes or an hour whatever it was right well that's what's so cool
408. 57:37because you can you can customize things to them and make it valuable to them and make it personal that it just blows
409. 57:43everything else out of the water and it's just showing that extra that little extra 10% of that you're actually care
410. 57:50or listening to what they're they're they're doing in in business and you can implement that in AI in two seconds and
411. 57:58man you stand out yeah amazing amazing let me let me open it back up to to the other folks that are still here Michelle
412. 58:04Tracy Kimberly Nate what what are your thoughts any thoughts and just listening to all the people that have talked so
413. 58:09far I have a thought which is I think it's been repeated a few times it's just that I think the people who are
414. 58:17presenting the people in this room are just people who are trying things and not afraid to test or play or fail or
415. 58:24break things and that's really I mean if you started a year ago which is what I did and you just spend you
416. 58:32know like Jim you said you just spend an hour a day or whatever it's like if you just spend some time messing with these
417. 58:37tools you rapidly learn what works what doesn't what you enjoy what you're good at what the tools are good at and then
418. 58:43you find a you find a lane and pretty soon since this all this stuff is so new we're kind of experts in our lane as
419. 58:51much as you can be which isn't a ton right now but it's exactly yeah it feels so fragile right now doesn't it yeah but
420. 59:00it's like it that'ss amazing Nate like it's like a year ago you weren't doing anything and and now you've got someone
421. 59:05from Hollywood going like your tool is better than anything we've got in Hollywood and it's just like yeah okay
422. 59:12and now that's the secondary product and the main product is launching in a couple weeks which I think is going to
423. 59:18be my exit strategy for life for building and selling a company amazing and it's like and I even took a five
424. 59:24four month break from AI too I was only half asking it for like yeah you kind of checked out for a bit I half asked it
425. 59:30for four months and played around then I took four months off and then I've only really been doing it for six months and
426. 59:36like it's crazy how much you can accomplish if you're focused on what you want to do and here's I'll say this too
427. 59:42so I look at all your stuff Kimberly is looking at your stuff and it's like I love so I'm a creative too and I have
428. 59:48been my whole life and I love what um like CJ's doing and Kimberly's doing that stuff and I would just like to play
429. 59:56around and do that yeah but I can only focus so much of my time and I want the output of what I want to accomplish so
430. 1:00:04it's like I'm leaving so and there's so much stuff exploding around us right now in terms of tech and it's advancing so
431. 1:00:10quick in all these different areas and I want to be shiny object syndrome but I'm not because I need to be focused on what
432. 1:00:16I want to do but it sucks that I'm leaving on the table all these cool things I could be doing that are just
433. 1:00:21super fun but I know I'd just be scatterbrained all over the place so I'm not doing them right now so it's kind of like an embarrassment of
434. 1:00:28riches out there it but I like seeing what you guys are doing because it's like oh that's what I would do if I had
435. 1:00:33like time to focus on it that's that's again that thing that everyone everyone that I know in AI thinks that the thing
436. 1:00:40they're doing is just this small little thing that's not super impressive because they know what's possible and
437. 1:00:46then someone else sees it and just goes what you can do that like they've never considered it it's just amazing uh
438. 1:00:52Kimberly Tracy or Michelle what any anything popping for for you yeah I mean Jim you say you have a timer
439. 1:01:00to say how you know how long you're going to be on AI I need a timer to tell me to stop and so exactly oh my God shot color right you
440. 1:01:12know it's like an all night thing you go down the rabbit hole and that's it I'm gone you know and so I've been doing the
441. 1:01:19images for two years now and um you're right um I look at what I do and it's you know it's hey it's just it's this
442. 1:01:28this thought I had it's this image that you know I had in my brain and then I started to realized everyone else first
443. 1:01:35of all the storytelling was touching a lot of people and I realized that Kim what you're doing like 50 75% of the
444. 1:01:46population does not know how to do that or doesn't have the ability to articulate whatever it is creatively
445. 1:01:53that they have in their brain and so yes what you're doing is definitely unique and um you know I have to stop myself
446. 1:02:04from going down that rabbit hole and getting buried in that rabbit hole and I think that is one issue that all of us
447. 1:02:12have because we're so excited and we're so immersed in what is AI but I mean like I do trainings and before I can
448. 1:02:20even get the the the presentation done I got to do it all over again because something has changed and someone has
449. 1:02:27introduced something new you know and I have to redo it but I always tell everyone that um that wants to get
450. 1:02:32involved you know find two or three that you can really bury yourself in master those um and find a niche find a niche
451. 1:02:42for yourself and then you know use what will build that and then go for it um you know and and be unique you know do
452. 1:02:52something different because we are still actually in the early adoption face and and I liking that I liking that too what
453. 1:03:00would you all have done if you had been able to put $5 on Apple when it was a box yeah yeah yeah that's that's where
454. 1:03:08we are I think your your point of like you know you feel like you're running down a rabbit hole so much that you're
455. 1:03:15getting buried in it and you want to find some others and I'm I'm in this weird place where I'm like I'm like yeah
456. 1:03:22maybe I could make a fusion reactor you know what I should probably answer I'm like like is the tools are getting more
457. 1:03:28capable I'm like I can do it all you know I'm a wizard and it's like no you actually you do need to like that's it's
458. 1:03:36one of the scary things about AI is that you can get to 80% essentially instantly and that you know the next 10% is really
459. 1:03:45hard the next 5% above that's really hard and that last 5 per like getting something that you actually want to put
460. 1:03:50in the world I'm finding it is essentially the same amount of work as if I had started from scratch right to
461. 1:03:58to to really get something there um but I but I can just do so many more I can run down so many more rabbit holes to
462. 1:04:03get there so and real quick let me say this real quick and I'll let everyone else talk so Jim said something very
463. 1:04:09interesting where he's showing his clients all these he's you know he's pulling out all his bells and whistles
464. 1:04:14and doing magic tricks right and I and I understand because it's magic you know and you know I I do it all the time
465. 1:04:24where someone will say can you do such such such and I'll be like uh okay and it takes two minutes you know two
466. 1:04:31minutes and it's like wow what is this and that's just the magic in it and then showing somebody else how to do it and
467. 1:04:40seeing their eyes light up that's what I really enjoy about it yeah in in here we call it uh giving them their first Kevin
468. 1:04:47McAllister moment from Home Alone yeah that moment right um Mr K welcome welcome up on stage uh really excited to have you here
469. 1:04:59um so Mr K is or well Matt we can call you Matt but know known as Mr K on on Tik Tok um is an educator um just
470. 1:05:09introduce yourself and tell people what you're G to be talking about and what you're excited about these days sure uh
471. 1:05:15thanks for putting me on the screen here I appreciate it I literally like opened up my phone and I saw like three different versions
472. 1:05:24of your live on LinkedIn and Tik Tok and like I had all these different notifications and then I saw you were up
473. 1:05:31there and I'm like hey why wasn't I invited thank you Brandon for getting me in yeah good awesome yeah well and
474. 1:05:39unlike probably a lot of people it is 11:07 PM for me so it's a little late but everybody's sleeping upstairs so I'm
475. 1:05:46good but um I am Mr K Matt gabinos I teach in central Pennsylvania and um I became obsessed with AI pretty quickly
476. 1:05:57um later than most people though I did not jump on chat GPT right away I waited about six months because I was in the uh
477. 1:06:05we're gonna get Skynet crowd uh right away and I was a little freaked out by the things that it could do even then
478. 1:06:13early on and then um I made a quiz because I was running out of time at the end of the uh marking period and it made me a 10 question quiz
479. 1:06:24in less than you know two minutes I put it up on the screen and gave my kids a Post-It note and I had the grade that I
480. 1:06:30needed to put in the book um and that's all I needed was I needed to put a grade in the book I wanted it to be a nice
481. 1:06:36easy thing at the end of the year um and I was like wow it did that really easily I wonder what else it can do um and and
482. 1:06:45here we are I became obsessed with AI pretty quickly now now I am using AI to help me pretty much redesign how I do teaching in my
483. 1:07:00classroom um I'm tired of the teaching from a book which a lot of people still fall into I'm tired of the kids like
484. 1:07:09sitting in you know desks or you know little clusters or whatever um so I'm looking to totally redesign how I do my
485. 1:07:19teaching and so I did a deep dive into building thinking classrooms I read the book but then beyond the book I actually
486. 1:07:28developed uh now with AI projects uh with chat gbt's projects I've developed a whole project that is based around his
487. 1:07:38way of thinking and his modeling of how he does designs uh for his classroom and I have it helped me kind of follow along
488. 1:07:46with my curriculum and design tasks for my kids to do so I'm using it to like redefine how I do educ and redefine how kids are assessed and
489. 1:08:00anything that I can contribute to the world of getting away from standardized testing for students I will gladly
490. 1:08:08contribute so well here and I mean it's just listen I think that I think that critical thinking is is going to be the
491. 1:08:16the skill moving forward that is like the requirement is going to be you're gonna have to be able to use your brain
492. 1:08:21to synthesize all these capabilities that are in front of you and I think it's it's super important about what was
493. 1:08:28it nine months or so ago your administrators found out that you were teaching the devil's work as they put it
494. 1:08:36or whatever it was correct and they said you couldn't even talk about it has that sh shifted or did you move
495. 1:08:43schools so I have not moved schools yet um I am still technically not allowed to discuss AI at all with my students
496. 1:08:57staggering I find that how however Blasphemous however I don't I I have no idea how this happens you know my kids
497. 1:09:05just magically start being curious and asking questions about AI in class and it is my civic duty as a teacher to
498. 1:09:14actually teach them so answer their questions can't help it uh most of them also found me on Tik Tok uh so so they
499. 1:09:23hear what I talk about all the time um and I was very disheartened at uh I think it was about two months ago we got
500. 1:09:32an email that uh AI was banned in the high school officially uh totally um and again like my big thing
501. 1:09:42that I'm trying to do in my area um my school doesn't really want to listen to me about it which is fine that ship has
502. 1:09:50sailed but the school the other schools in my area are curious so I am working through an organization right now called
503. 1:09:57the Intermediate Unit um 8 they're like it's like the State Department of Education and then intermediate units
504. 1:10:05are like right underneath that um and they go by regions uh so I'm teaching teachers in my region um weirdly no
505. 1:10:16teachers or admins from my school but from other schools in the region I am teaching them about Ai and slowly beginning the conversation of
506. 1:10:26introducing it because that whole mindset of banning chat GPT or Banning AI it it comes from not understanding
507. 1:10:34what it can do totally and not understanding how to work with it so totally it's it's staggering I mean it's
508. 1:10:41it's the most profound knowledge tool in the history of humanity and educators are like well we don't want to use that
509. 1:10:50like right what well I I always tell people I'm like well if a I can do your assignment for you then you should be
510. 1:10:58doing something different Y is is how I'm trying to frame it now love that and you know maybe writing papers isn't all
511. 1:11:06that important anymore yeah you know maybe there's a whole bunch of other things that we could be doing here but
512. 1:11:13again the the first step is just getting these teachers to understand what it is so that they can be able to you know
513. 1:11:22teach their kids about it and I make the argument to teachers all the time that if students knew another
514. 1:11:31option to use AI for then the students would use it in that way right now any student any person like even myself I
515. 1:11:42think to myself if AI can do this for me hell yeah I'm gonna let it do it for me if it's just as good or better than what
516. 1:11:50I can do absolutely I'm going to do that so I cannot fault any student especially middle schoolers for wanting to do the
517. 1:11:59same thing that's totally unfair you know Mr K why are you gonna have us do this when AI can just do it for us yeah
518. 1:12:08that's a great question I wish more students would ask me that yeah well yeah like discussing that there's your
519. 1:12:15critical thinking opportunity right let's let's talk through that or what's it good at what's it bad at all that
520. 1:12:20sort of stuff awesome and just one one more thing before I skip over yeah to the critical thinking I recently posed
521. 1:12:26this question to my students before we went on Christmas break I said if AI can do everything that you can do or maybe
522. 1:12:35everything you can do better than you can do then what good are you I asked them that question and they're 11 and 12 years old so um after
523. 1:12:47about a minute of perplexed looks on their face is I had a kid actually tell me it can't give you a hug
524. 1:12:55uh it can't give you a high five yep and another kid said um because we talk a lot about empathy and emotion and
525. 1:13:04another kid said uh empathy doesn't have empathy doesn't know what empathy is so they get it we just have to talk to him
526. 1:13:12about it that's all we have to do is just talk to him about it and not be afraid yeah that's great um Jim I know
527. 1:13:18you got a take off but um any any final words before you blast on out of here no I'm just excited it's gonna be a
528. 1:13:25fun jam-packed couple days I'm excited not just about myself but to meet everybody else and make some new friends
529. 1:13:31so it's going to be a blast great beautiful um Michelle Tracy any final thoughts I do I want to talk a little
530. 1:13:39bit about what Mr K was saying um about kids using it my uh granddaughter's in high school I'm here in the Kansas City
531. 1:13:47area my granddaughter's in high school and they will not allow it and I am saying you guys are going to be left
532. 1:13:51behind because this isn't going anywhere fortunately I was hired by a school district in the area to go in and talk
533. 1:13:57to the teachers and the administrators and I think what Mr Kay said is right they don't understand it they're afraid
534. 1:14:03of what they don't understand um so that's what I'm talking about I'm talking about the and I hate to be the
535. 1:14:09bad the person talking about the bad but I have to be realistic you know so I have to explain to them you know if the
536. 1:14:15kids are going to use it and they should be using it you know find ways to have them show their work find a way to have
537. 1:14:21them use it but more importantly explain to them how not to use it and there are so many news stories with kids in the
538. 1:14:27headlines where they're uh they're committing SE exploitation on their fellow students because they're using it
539. 1:14:32offline and they're putting their fellow students faces on and then they're sharing those inappropriate images and
540. 1:14:38that could get them in trouble get them put in gel so I'm saying parents and teachers need to understand that they
541. 1:14:44also need to understand that the criminals cyber criminals are out there using the tools pretending to be something that they're not even if
542. 1:14:50you're looking at someone that might not be who you're looking at so there's a conversation that has to be had so I
543. 1:14:56think the the way to solve the school problem is to educate the teachers and the administrators and I am on a mission
544. 1:15:01to do that as a matter of fact I'm um the lead in an organization where our goal is to reach at least 300 students
545. 1:15:08and to teach them my job is to teach them the cyber security part of it how to use it safely how to keep your
546. 1:15:13information private and how the bad guys are using it and how they're coming for you so I think education is the key and
547. 1:15:20for our students to not have this knowledge my my nephew is a uh he just finished his freshman year in college he
548. 1:15:27doesn't understand it so I'm talking to him and he's like why is my aunt keep talking this is the holiday and it's
549. 1:15:32like no no you need to understand how important it is that you know about this use this as part of your future so I'm
550. 1:15:39on that bandwagon too that's awesome yeah no that's great and it's listen that's what this weekend is all about
551. 1:15:45like hopefully we have 300 student like you know let's say out of the 2500 that RSVP let's say half of those show up
552. 1:15:54that's 12200 people you know let's hope that a third of those are students because you may you may have an
553. 1:16:00opportunity to uh to at least reach 300 of them tomorrow or you know whatever your session is so that's awesome uh
554. 1:16:07fantastic Michelle what are your thoughts I'm connecting all of this back to what both you and Cindy were saying
555. 1:16:14earlier I mean Cindy was saying herself and Matt and I are not alone in this because I've had a few exchanges with
556. 1:16:19Matt on LinkedIn it's like okay deep breath you know you get so frustrated with with school and it's education is
557. 1:16:28is notoriously not first to adopt things and they go very slow because of some of the cautions that Tracy brought up but
558. 1:16:37even connecting it to government as as Cindy brought up earlier it's oftentimes the consequence of you spent
559. 1:16:44a lot of time telling everybody this was bad you spent a lot of time telling everybody oh that's the lazy way out I
560. 1:16:51think Nate even talked about that there was a lot of Suspicion initially in multiple Industries and now we're
561. 1:16:58coming to this with the hopes that you know with this event we can just learn collectively that was one of the things
562. 1:17:07that I one of the reasons why I started the podcast was because people wanted to learn more about what was going on who's
563. 1:17:15doing this where can I find out more information and so this idea of bringing people to the table that are willing to
564. 1:17:22talk about it like we all are doing over the next two days I think it's vital that we take advantage of this and I'm
565. 1:17:28so grateful that it's free you know I to sit in on Matt session and listen and pick his brain and talk to him I get to
566. 1:17:36sit with Tracy and think about all of these different things learn from Nate learn from Kimberly it's just going to
567. 1:17:42be yeah I think one of those Priceless opportunities that we need to have more and more of to get to that Tipping Point
568. 1:17:50where we can get past the fear yep and I think I think you know that the the student of Mr K's that you know was
569. 1:17:58quick on the draw of it can't give you a hug I mean I think part of what we'll experience tomorrow in Festivus is every
570. 1:18:06person that speaks is going to humanize some other aspect of AI right so especially for people who are just
571. 1:18:12afraid of it or just mad at it right or just whatever they might be I was told it was evil so therefore it's evil
572. 1:18:20whatever whatever that is I feel like every one of those that someone experiences is another were like oh well
573. 1:18:26Nate was kind of cool like like he had a cool book collection right you know like every one of us humanized another piece
574. 1:18:33of this and so hopefully hopefully this becomes an on-ramp not just for the education piece like how do I use AI but
575. 1:18:40like even how do I think about AI is is where I think we've got massive impact that that is is gonna happen this
576. 1:18:47weekend so with that um Let me let me just say one more thing yeah fin Yeah final words and we'll we'll get yall out
577. 1:18:53of here um Matt I dabbled in your in your realm for a second last week I have a friend who's a he's a full-time
578. 1:19:01blogger makes a living doing it he's been successful for like 10 years he has a few learning barriers and he was just
579. 1:19:07talking about in one of his latest posts about how he's been trying to use chat GPT to help him learn differently I was
580. 1:19:14like that's really cool let's get on a call and I can build you a tool that can it can adap adapt any of five or 10
581. 1:19:21different Frameworks of learning you know whatever you choose however you like it reflected back to you however
582. 1:19:26you like to to learn and investigate so we had a fun two and a half hour session of just exploring and I and I I've built
583. 1:19:35a bot called The Constructor bot that helps me build other Bots instantly and it just so because that's what I do for
584. 1:19:41a living kind of now so like I'm feeding our data into Constructor bot of what we need and it's interviewing us and asking
585. 1:19:47questions and we're talking about it's formulating this this product or this tool and at the end of the day we built
586. 1:19:54it and I gave it to him and it's like then we spent 30 40 minutes just playing with it and learning things in a fun way
587. 1:20:01and it's like I I I'm excited for teachers at this time because you can build things that get your kids
588. 1:20:09imaginations fired up in a different way than they're used to and maybe some kids learn differently than others but this
589. 1:20:15will help them right and that's really cool yeah I agree with that absolutely I mean I stepped outside of my comfort
590. 1:20:23zone for a second because we wanted to do something pretty old school in education we wanted to me and another
591. 1:20:29teacher wanted to teach our kids uh math facts and get them to memorize them which memorizing has kind of gone away
592. 1:20:37and it shows and it shows so uh I had Claude well I started with Claude and then I used chat gbt c um canvas to
593. 1:20:47write me a simple HTML game that asked the kids random multiplication facts it had a one minute timer and then it got
594. 1:20:57it gave them a score at the end which was digits correct per minute and we use that data to see how much they've grown
595. 1:21:04over you know each day oh that's cool doing this thing and it was following the framework of another program but
596. 1:21:12this guy had it done in person and you had to check every kid's thing every day we did it one day it took us like three
597. 1:21:20hours at night to check every kids and that was one day and we had to do this every day and we're like yeah that's not
598. 1:21:26happening so I said let's build something with it and we did and I'm not a I know zero I know nothing about
599. 1:21:34coding at all and it was just like here you go and then I'm like I literally asked it how do I use this it's like here do this and I did it
600. 1:21:43and it worked and I was like okay cool yeah you but you knew the most important thing you knew what you wanted to to
601. 1:21:48accomplish and I mean that's sort of the thing like you know Kimberly right she's got a vision she's like she knows she's
602. 1:21:54got this thing in her head and she like she knows where she wants to get to and then the trick is like I mean I kind of
603. 1:22:00feel like you know the education thing it's like you know the librarian when you're sitting in the library use your
604. 1:22:06words you know it's like I feel like we're just in that thing like just learn to use your words with these tools and
605. 1:22:11know what you want and then just you know keep iterating until you figure out how to get there um Michelle really
606. 1:22:16quickly someone asked what's the name of your podcast I think they want to check out your podcast oh okay it's empowered
607. 1:22:22by AI women entrepreneurs leading the way great well listen thank you thank you all so much I know it's Mr K it's
608. 1:22:29very late for you whoever's on the East Coast uh my apologies because I start these things late so thank you for
609. 1:22:34coming and hanging out um this is great I'm I'm really excited about um about the weekend let me just throw

620. 1:24:04thought we were three hours ahead not two the you're three hours ahead of Pacific time two hours ahead of where
621. 1:24:18I am so I'm starting tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. but it's 9:00 a.m. Pacific so that was fun excellent all right let's
622. 1:24:27go look at some comments we were all stunned into silence um yeah that was a really cool conversation wasn't it like
623. 1:24:34I mean that's a thing like here's what strikes me about about that conversation and and everyone in the conversation is
624. 1:24:42everyone is like really down to earth because nobody's really mastered anything yet everyone's like uh I'm trying to figure it out
625. 1:24:55I'm sort of getting there you know that's where we are right now that's absolutely where we are right now and I
626. 1:25:00think that's going to be an amazing I think just that little nugget alone if you take nothing away from tomorrow I
627. 1:25:07think one of the things you're G to take away is that why not give it a shot like all of these people have just given it a
628. 1:25:14shot and some you know less than a year right some for two years but like that's the biggest window right now is November
629. 1:25:2230th 2022 if you were right on top of it you're two years into this thing right what's Malcolm Gladwell say you know you need 10,000
630. 1:25:32hours about about 10 years to master something well we ain't close we're all just starting so all right let's see are there any social
631. 1:25:45posts to share there's yours look wait why is it not showing there you go there's your social post to share
632. 1:25:54um it was very reassuring to know that I'm not the only one who was struggling to figure this out no I mean like it was
633. 1:26:01every single person was was some version of you know Michelle she wanted to put out this podcast and hope hope she got
634. 1:26:08people that were interested in it and all of a sudden there are and she's just trying to figure out even how to talk
635. 1:26:13about it what to talk about um let's see there are so many people that are going to be speaking Yeah it's amazing Shan
636. 1:26:21saww registered great thank you very much Lor K thinks this is very exciting um Rick Rick loved the hug comment from Mr K I thought that was
637. 1:26:31great was really good you know if if AI can do all the stuff you can do what good are humans we can give you a hug and I you know it's
638. 1:26:42funny as as simple as that is like the answer is yes like the value of human interaction goes up the value of empathy
639. 1:26:52goes up the the value of live performance and and authentic experience goes up right maybe the robots free us up
640. 1:27:06they do all the shitty work that crushes our soul and frees us up to be better humans that's a very real possibility
641. 1:27:14and so that was I I like that's a little bit of what I felt tonight was like there just everyone to a person had this
642. 1:27:21this hope and this optimism and and and just this willingness to go well I'll give it a shot you know Jim with his
643. 1:27:30timer right he's got his timer he's like we're gonna do it I mean yeah that's it just do an hour a day what's the worst
