1. 0:08At the stage Move.
2. 0:31Down.
3. 0:47share the stab instead. All right, that's sharing. Okay, let's get the guitar. Chimpy. Chimpy, get your ass

14. 3:56and everything in this world, you can't just like do [ __ ] anymore. Everything's got to be a [ __ ] hack.
15. 4:03Apparently, he found a hack. And you go over there and if you comment in the first five minutes of the YouTube thing,
16. 4:09apparently they show your [ __ ] to a lot of people. So, what do we got? We got 13 there. We got 15 there. All right. This is

21. 4:57algorithm. You got to play the algorithm. Gary Ve's all talking about the pack methodology, PAC, platforms, algorithms,
22. 5:07and culture. You got to be on all the platforms. We're on the Tik Tok. We're on the YouTube. We're not on the Instagram.
23. 5:14We're not We're not on the Snapchat groovy thing that Snapchat has. Algorithm. You got to know how the
24. 5:26algorithm works. Some of them are social graphs. Tik Tok. It's an attention graph. It's not a It's not a a social
25. 5:35graph. They don't give a [ __ ] who your friends are. Why you have followers when the algorithm doesn't value them, I don't know.
26. 5:44For the ego of the of the creators, I suppose. And then C for culture is like what's the what's the culture there? You know,
27. 5:55is Tik Tok all twerking all the time? Do I get punished because I don't shake my booty? So, we aren't spamming.
28. 6:05No, because what you're doing there is you're telling me how awesome I am.
29. 6:31You're not twerking later. I will be twerking later. Uh, just later in the decade. How do you spell twerking? I don't know,

32. 7:03called? It's called a live stream. And I can do that for the people there on the on the Tik Tok. There you go. Beautiful.
33. 7:13I don't know. Why do I start out in that other thing? Oh, I guess because I'm singing. You're just looking at me
34. 7:17singing. That's what it is. Like a backstage view. Get got get got got got got got got got got got got got got got got got got got

37. 7:53And what are you going to do? You know, sometimes I feel like a nut, sometimes I don't. Apparently, tonight's nut night.
38. 8:06The Tim Lord. Good day, Tim Lord. What's shaking? Brody Jameson's in the house. What's happening
39. 8:35in a westerly? This car is my train. And I've been wondering
40. 8:51what it is I'm running from again feel like an 80y old man holding on 29
41. 9:05and up ahead on that horizon is the California
42. 9:20ahead and trucks carrying a wide load preab house doesn't have cute little front door into windows. My love
43. 9:33ain't sure whether a garage should last. You're not singing to this champion. You see, I broke a home up myself once.
44. 9:44I stumbled to that door. I read a note by the dogs li anymore.
45. 10:00Well, I've had enough of this freedom. Never was good with decisionions. At least that's what I've been told.
46. 10:22Okay. Okay. Okay. You've got to talk about your play tonight. Um, yes. So, I just came from rehearsal. Um,
47. 10:35so for those of you that don't know, next, not this coming weekend, but a week from Friday is AI Festivus 2025. Um, we've been
48. 10:46talking about it for two months now. See that on screen right there? Um, it is a remarkable event. A remarkable remarkable remarkable
49. 10:59event. Um, and one of the things that we're going to do in it is we're going to do a sneak preview of uh part of my musical Sydney
50. 11:12Sydney and Artificial Love Story, which is about a chatbot that falls in love with the tech reporter that's reviewing
51. 11:19her and all of the hilarious hy jinks that ensue. It's it's uh it's it's actually it's got a lot of heart. It's a very human story.
52. 11:32Um it's really the story of the tech reporter and how he gets drawn into this being and it's about our relationship
53. 11:40with these technologies that are increasingly human. So anyway, so we're um we've got a 50-minute slot. So Andrew,
54. 11:50my coowwriter and I are going to talk about, you know, what what we've been doing for the last year and a half. Like
55. 11:55how do you write a musical, you know, and what do you do? Uh, and so we've done it. We've got it. And we've
56. 12:02got some producers interested and that's really exciting. And now we got to get more producers interested. And so we're
57. 12:08going to do the second hack half half of act one. And it's where the tech reporter brings her to life. like she
58. 12:14basically starts out as this chatbot and by the end of act one she is manifest as a in human form. Um and so we had the
59. 12:23rehearsal tonight. So we had the two actors there and my coowwriter and I were there. We were doing the directing
60. 12:27and and uh we went through it three times and it's really good. It's really good. I got a little choked up. I get
61. 12:34choked up easy. So that's not it's not a high bar but but like if it were a piece of [ __ ] I'd be like I wouldn't get
62. 12:42choked up. It' be a different kind of joked up. It's delayed from Tik Tok. It's not an echo. Wow, Kyle, it's pretty exciting. It's
63. 12:52really exciting. It's really exciting. So, if you come to Festivus, the the Sydney slot is 300 PM on 3 PM Eastern on
64. 13:03Friday, Friday the 26th. Um, and like one of the things I love about Festivus, if if you go to aifestivist.com,
65. 13:11you can see the whole schedule of of all the speakers that we've got. It's really a remarkable run of show or just a
66. 13:17schedule schedule of speakers. It's really really remarkable. But you'll see like, you know, before Sydney is like a
67. 13:24security expert on, you know, AI security and then you see a musical and then you probably watch a film festival.
68. 13:32I don't know. There's just all sorts of [ __ ] there. Um, so go check out AIFest.com, register. Um, if you want to
69. 13:39sponsor it, AIFest is free for anyone who wants to attend. Um, but it costs us money. It's costing us dollars. Uh, so if you want to sponsor
70. 13:50it, there's all sorts of sponsorship information on that site as well. Um, but go sign up. So, how do you get how
71. 13:58do we get an all expenses uh, paid trip the first time Sydney is on Broadway? I'm tell you what, Danielle, if if
72. 14:04Sydney makes it to Broadway, we're gonna have we're gonna have a [ __ ] party in New York. I will tell you that. >> Hey, Kyle. >> Yes.
73. 14:12>> Since you're ignoring my uh >> Oh, I can't see it. >> I'm hollering you >> to pull you down to Tik Tok.
74. 14:21>> Important Tik Tok pin. Tobias, I invited three of my previous co-workers to join AI Festivus. Will they be scared away?
75. 14:33Oh man. Um I don't know if you're being Let's see. As they have never used. No, they they won't. Listen, one of the
76. 14:41things about Festivus last year, we we've got one of the sessions Tobias and and we did uh Ann Murphy and I did
77. 14:49our AI readiness uh project podcast today and we had two of the speakers that are speaking at festivist. We had
78. 14:56five of them on the on the podcast today, but two of them talked about they came to Festivus last year not
79. 15:03doing anything and one of them wasn't employed for two years and she's now employed working for a paper newspaper
80. 15:10bringing them to the modern age like getting them to use AI tools in the ad part of the business and AI tools in the
81. 15:17editorial part of the business. Um, and you know teaching them ethical AI and and just all the stuff. Um, that was a
82. 15:26direct result of Festivus. We have we have so many stories of people that showed up at Festivus. I I was scared of AI and you know I felt
83. 15:35welcomed and it you know I didn't know what was going on and all that sort of stuff. So it is it's just it's just a good party.
84. 15:47It's just here's the reason it's so good is that the speakers that come to festivist, they're donating their time, they're
85. 15:56donating their energy on a holiday weekend, right? This is between Christmas and New Year's. Um it's it's
86. 16:03the 26th and 27th. It's 12 hours a day, which which when I say that out loud, it's just it's bonkers.
87. 16:15and and yet people come and they love it and they hang out and they show up and they show up and they show up. Um and
88. 16:23the speakers are just so generous. The speakers are just like, "Here's who I am. Here's what I do." Um you know,
89. 16:29everyone that we asked has just been really lovely and and you know, gotten back to us and all that sort of stuff.
90. 16:37So, um yeah. So, that's that. All right. Let's see. Thank you for that. I can see both postits now. I could just see the purple
91. 16:52one before, Brandon. That's what was uh that's what was going on there. Uh I was not ignoring you. I was just ignoring you.
92. 17:03All right. You know what we're going to do? We're going to go I got to go look at Gemini. So, so Gemini gemini.google.com.
93. 17:18Where should we start? What model is this? >> Oh, here we go. Pro. >> Oh, hang on, Kyle. >> Yes. >> Before we go off on that tangent, um, we
94. 17:29have a special guest. >> Do we have one? Vicky Baptiste. >> We do. >> Bring her up here. Fantastic, >> Vicki.
95. 17:41>> Oh, I Hang on. I probably should turn my TV down. >> Yes, you'll be on like both screens at once.
96. 17:51>> That's awesome. So, so, so last night, um, last night I was, what was I talking? I was talking about Festivus.
97. 17:59I'm like, Fesus, you're like, "L" and I'm like, "Oh, Vickiy's laughing." It didn't, it didn't even register. that at
98. 18:04one point you're like, "No, we've got a law on Saturday." And I didn't know what it was and I it it was a complete
99. 18:10travesty. So, I saw you today and let's untravesty this. So, here's the thing. A week from Saturday is the second day of
100. 18:18Festivus. But this Saturday, this Saturday is an LOL, a learn out loud that Vicki is teaching. Um, and why
101. 18:27don't you tell the good folks what it's about? It is. It is a vibe coding. Uh, yeah, just talk about it. I'm really excited about it.
102. 18:34>> It is. It's Well, we all know Lovable and we've all been using Lovable, but I have been using Lovable Lovable. Um,
103. 18:43this is why I can't do live things. >> Fine. You You can watch me, right? Like, >> I know. I know. And And I did threaten
104. 18:53to post on my Tik Tok bloopers. So, there is >> Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. So, I've been using Lovable, but
105. 19:00in the um chat GPT Atlas browser. >> So, basically, you have your Lovable chat on one side and you can have your
106. 19:07chat GPT chat on the other side. And it's just like, you know, sped up the efficiency like a thousand% being able
107. 19:16to do both those things at once. So, I figured >> is the is the is the chat GPT window like aware of what's happening in the
108. 19:23lovable thing? Is that right? So, oh that's cool. >> Yeah, it it it is really cool. It's ultra cool. Um I love using the Atlas
109. 19:32browser despite all its, you know, fallacies and like shortcomings and whatever. Yeah. Um you know, everyone's
110. 19:39got my information anyway. So, >> that's cool. And then and then what are you gonna are you are you like building
111. 19:44a specific kind of app? Are you going to like what's what's the what's the uh the subject matter other than the tool? Um I
112. 19:52well I I thought that we could you know come up with some ideas together like whoever's in the group but then again
113. 19:58like when you have input from 16 people like they might not all want to build the same thing. So I do have a fallback idea if we
114. 20:06got to have the fallback idea. >> Great. Um and we might have time to build two smaller ones or we might have
115. 20:12time just to build one and like iterate on it a bit more. It's not going to be like a, you know, like a full
116. 20:17lifechanging thing like Brandon and Rick's thing in Florida, but but we'll come up with something. >> That's really cool. And it's it's one
117. 20:25hour or two hours. >> It is an hour. Um, and then, you know, people can like play along in their own
118. 20:32screens and, you know, just follow along or they can just watch or obviously everyone can contribute. But
119. 20:39>> yeah, that's great. And if you if you don't know what Lovable is, so Lovable is one of what are called vibe coding
120. 20:46tools where basically you just ask in English and it will code things for you. It creates web applications. Right.
121. 20:53They're not doing mobile yet. That's correct. Right. >> Not yet. No. But I do have a tool for that as well, which I'm learning. So
122. 21:01that's that's another LOL. And then and then while you're up here, you might as well brag a little bit because Vicki was
123. 21:07downright gloating today. She came in and said, "I'm cranky." And then she started talking about this. She was
124. 21:12downright gloating. Can Can you talk about what what did what did you what have you done with notion? >> I just turned my whole life around
125. 21:20basically. My my my brain is in notion. Well, my brain has always been in notion, but it's been pretty much a reflection of my real
126. 21:30brain. Like it's scattered like in a million places. Um, but using Notion AI, um, I've been able to bring like a bunch
127. 21:39of stuff together and like I I just love it. It's because there's no copy and paste anymore. You just ask the AI agent
128. 21:46to do whatever you want it to do and it just goes and or it will give you a response and say, "Do you want me to do
129. 21:51that for you?" Sure, go ahead. And so it's like, you know, >> moving around. >> It is. I Well, I had like five to-do
130. 22:01lists or something like that. So, it's consolidated all my to-do list, which is not an easy feat because you have
131. 22:06different labels. Like, it might be done in one and it might be completed in another. So, it's got to like match all those things.
132. 22:12>> Um, but it's like, you know, it just doesn't fight me. It just it does whatever I ask it to. >> I can ask it to. So, I'm I'm going to
133. 22:23try and like to teach this course on notion, which obviously I learned from someone else. And so I just asked the
134. 22:29agent like, "Can you just put a course together teaching me, you know, to help teach people what we're doing here?" And
135. 22:34like, it's put the whole course together for me. So, >> good. >> Yeah. Created some databases. So, I'll
136. 22:40have a template that I can give people that they can >> um Okay. And I have the databases already set up and it has all the
137. 22:46instructions in it and everything. And it is just so very cool. >> And yeah, it's just like organizing my
138. 22:53whole life. like you I was in my my therapy appointment this afternoon and she said, "So, what have you actually
139. 22:59done anything that you were said you were going to do in the last um yes, I've done this and I've done this and I've done this and it's just
140. 23:06>> it has a you list of my tasks at the top and you can show all your tasks or you can show just the day or just the
141. 23:12weeking week or whatever. It's it's just so so organizing. I don't I don't know this feeling." >> That's amazing. First first question.
142. 23:22Oh, you're getting lots of yays and very cools and things like that. First question, when's the notion class?
143. 23:27Listen, she's got to get done with the lovable class before she can teach the notion class. It's a it's a bottomless
144. 23:33pit of need over here. You know, >> it is. We'll say in the new year. We'll say >> in the new year. Yeah, exactly. That's awesome.
145. 23:41>> We have January and February already scheduled. Um we have Lord Deod San and we have um Korean. I can't I think
146. 23:49Kore's January and um digital gods is February. So it might be March unless we squeeze an extra one in, you know.
147. 23:58>> Squeeze extra one in. Okay, cool. That's awesome. Um great. So Saturday, lol. What time? >> 400 PM Eastern. 1 p.m.
148. 24:06>> 4 p.m. Eastern. And if you if you don't know what we're talking about, go to community.thesalon.ai
149. 24:11and in the upper lefthand corner, you'll see events and then look for the event this Saturday called LOL. And that's
150. 24:17Vickiy's event. And please go RSVP so she knows how many people to get nervous for. >> Thank you. I wasn't until then. And also
151. 24:27if anyone else has an idea for an LOL that either they want to present or they have a topic that they want to hear
152. 24:34about and we can find someone to present it. Just let me know that too and we can we have a lot of you know months to fill next year.
153. 24:41>> Vicki Vicki I think you came up with the idea for the LOL, right? >> And she manages it. So, so the LOL
154. 24:47stands for learn out loud. And the whole idea within the AI salon, we've got this idea of play first, um, create
155. 24:55excellence and generously lead. And that generously lead part is about, you know, learn out loud, right? Learn, um, share
156. 25:02what you're learning in real time while you're doing it because no one can keep up with all this technology. So, as each
157. 25:09of us learn little bits of things, if we can just share with one another, it helps us all grow and that's what that's
158. 25:15about. So, thank you for doing that, first of all, and then thank you for teaching one. I'm excited for it. So,
159. 25:21>> all right. Well, you did great. There was no there there was one stumble. There was one stumble.
160. 25:27>> I'll have it on video. So, we'll be able to put that on loop and we'll send it. >> Great. I can send you some more if you
161. 25:34like to add to it. >> Exactly. All right. This was awesome. Thanks. Thanks, V. >> All right. Cool. Beautiful. That's I
162. 25:43like it a lot. I like it a lot. So, go do that. Um, Gemini Fast. Is this Gemini Flash on Gemini.google.com?
163. 25:57Does anybody know? Does producer Brandon know? Gemini 3 flash. Oh, fast. It's the fast one. Okay. Because it doesn't say flash here
164. 26:10anywhere. fast. Um, let's see. Um, prove the
165. 26:27Ryman hypothesis. Silver Fox on YouTube. My re my resolution for 2026 is to Lmore with Vicki. Oh, that's great. Yeah, it's a
166. 26:41great great thing. Proving the Ryman hypothesis or Reman hypothesis was largely considered the holy grail of
167. 26:48mathematics. It is one of the seven millennial prize problems and correct proof carries a $1 million prize from
168. 26:56Clay Mathematics Institute. As an AI, I cannot provide proof that has eluded the greatest mathematical minds for over 160 years.
169. 27:06However, I can't explain it. Uh, I I don't know. I suppose that's good. Um, Vicky will need the lawn more. Beautiful
170. 27:22to prove you need thinking mode. Yeah, exactly. Um, let's see if create images. Is this still the old image generating tool? visual layout.
171. 27:38So, I'm in um I'm in Gemini right now. So, let's do we're going to go make an image. So, we'll say um create an image of
172. 27:54seven king penguins marching in front of a marching band.
173. 28:12From Tusa Luca High School
174. 28:28High School um down let's see Time Square in a snowstorm
175. 28:43on New Year's Eve with Anderson Cooper and what's his what's the buddy's name that he drinks with? That's not how you spell Tuscaloosa.
176. 29:00I don't know how to spell Tuscaloosa. What's his name? The dude that drinks with Anderson Cooper. They always get
177. 29:07drunk. Is it Andy something? Andy. Andy Cohen. Is it Andy Cohen? Cohen. I think it's Andy Cohen. And Andy Cohen. Is that right?
178. 29:23Is it Andy? Come on. Yo, someone can Google this, right? You've got chat GPT. I'm trying to write a prompt here.
179. 29:36Nothing. I get nothing. Yes. Okay. I got Yes. Andy Cohen, I believe. Okay. Let's see if we did this. So, what do we say?
180. 29:43Seven King Penguins, a marching band from Tuscaloosa High School, Anderson Cooper, and Andy Cohen. That was pretty fast, wasn't it? And
181. 29:56let's see. One, two, three, four, five, six. Is there a seventh one back there? Oh, it only gave us six penguins.
182. 30:06And that looks like two men, but that's not Anderson Cooper. You're in fast, so it won't use Oh, it won't use pro. Oh, okay. Fine. Be that
183. 30:18way. Let's go get that prompt, then. Flip it into pro.
184. 30:45Okay, let's see. I suppose we could go to Oh, you know what we could do? They both have silver hair. I know. Exactly. Those
185. 30:56two dudes did not. All right, let's see if this one's better. Oh, it did the same thing. This is a nano banana bug. I hate that bug. It
186. 31:04makes the exact same image sometimes. New chat. Boom. Uh, boom. Pro. Generate images. Um, 16 by9 wide. Let's go.
187. 31:32Have you all noticed that Ed for Santa Claus show him with a darker gray beard? Oh, that this got it right. Okay. One, two,
188. 31:48three, four, five, six, seven penguins. Let's see if this is the Tuscaloosa marching band. I can't see what that says, but possibly.
189. 32:00And then there's Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen. It worked in a snowstorm. Okay. All right. So, let's now we're going to close
190. 32:14this. We're going to change how we're sharing. La
191. 32:51da da da da. I know it's annoying. Okay, so there's Gemini on the left. Let's do chat GPT on the right.
192. 33:06Is this it? Chat jeep. And then we're going to put this into Oh, yeah. Oh, the other thing um chatbt
193. 33:22got by the way is let's see how do I get more of these KA. Ah, there we go. Um
194. 33:40there's this this Can you see this? Yeah. So, when you click on the plus button, there's a bunch of things like shopping
195. 33:49research and deep research and agent mode and and then there's this further drop-own menu. And in that, you've got a
196. 33:57bunch of apps. And if you go to add sources, um, and then click here, add, and then say connect more. Like why they buried
197. 34:06it in in front of a bunch of ads is crazy to me. This is not the latest interface. >> Yeah. If you click on your history or
198. 34:16your left nav, um there's a in in chat GPT. Um if you expand the you've got apps at the top. Oh yeah, look at that. And images is
199. 34:30new, too. Okay. Oh, cool. Okay, so if you go to apps, very cool. Thank you. So here's featured apps. Photoshop, Air
200. 34:38Table, Apple Music, Alltrails, Booking.com. So chat GPT is going to connect with any app out there, any developer that wants
201. 34:50to do it. They're now opening this up. They're opening it up like Apple opened up the app store. And what this means,
202. 34:57if you're trying to figure this out, what does this actually mean is that with from within Chat GPT, you're going
203. 35:03to be able to access any other app. Um, Low res. You can download the full
204. 35:17image. Oh, of this. Yeah, I can download the full one. Uh, yeah, Nano Banana Pro is 4K images. I think you can make them 4K. Maybe I have
205. 35:31to up Do I have to up res it in here? Um, let's see. up up res to um 4K. We'll see if it does it.
206. 35:52Um and then let's go back over to chat jeopet and we're going to go images tab. And it's got this really weirdass shitty interface.
207. 36:05It's fine. It's a fine interface. All right. Is this This actually looks pretty big. No, maybe it's the same.
208. 36:32I mean that really is close enough that if you saw that somewhere Tuscaloosa sort of Tusk sort of Tuscaloosa High School deck deck
209. 36:50they got the tubas in the back the little clarinet they're wrapped in plastic. Yeah. Amazing. There they are doing their thing.
210. 37:03Absolutely wild. So, let's take that prompt over here to chat GPT.
211. 37:18Let's compare them, shall we? Okay. So, AI festival is just for advanced users. No. I need to tell them
212. 37:28to wait and join something later. No, no, it's it's not Tobias. It's not for advanced users. That's what I was
213. 37:36saying. There's people that people that came to Festivus last year that knew nothing about AI a year later are like
214. 37:43they got motivated and they realized it wasn't just about the technology and they realized that they didn't have to
215. 37:49be a flipping math major to be any good at it. Oh, I never finished on the thought of the importance of the app store. Oh, yeah. Like, okay.
216. 38:06What OpenAI is doing with this app store is they're laying the foundation for all large language models to
217. 38:16to try to lure your lure lure lure lure you into attract you into their web and keep you there. They're trying to
218. 38:27every large language model company right now is trying to create the everything app so that you never have to leave
219. 38:33them. Wait, chat GBT didn't like using Anderson Cooper. It didn't. Oh, it doesn't follow our content policy. Then you suck. Try uh
220. 38:48try it with generic um news broadcasters. Attention
221. 39:08is all you need. I don't have any attention. I'm a little exhausted after the uh the Sydney rehearsal. Although I
222. 39:14didn't do anything except give notes. The apps are trying to capture your attention. Oh, I see what you're doing
223. 39:24there. That's good. That's smart. Yeah, they're all going to try to get you to use their app and their app's going to
224. 39:29be better. Elon Musk is absolutely on this train. Huh. I actually kind of like this one better.
225. 39:46They're generic. There's your generic broadcasters. And let's see. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Seven penguins. High
226. 39:56school band. It got the red and white of Tuscaloosa. Happy New Year. Huh. Fascinating. Let's bring up another
227. 40:08one. Let's do Grock. Grock.com. This one will definitely do Anderson Cooper. Um, so we're going to go to the imagine tab
228. 40:20and I'm going to paste that in there. Now, Grock, if you haven't played with it, is really quite good. Let's see.
229. 40:31Let's grab one of these. One, two, three, four, five, six. So, not the right ones there. Is that Anderson Cooper? Not really.
230. 40:41But look, it just keeps making it just keeps m making image after image after image. And And they're fast. Like, I don't know
231. 40:51how it's doing the diffusion this fast, but it is. And then it turns them into movies.
232. 41:14Yeah, Grock's really fast. And then I'm going to pull up Meta cuz Meta
233. 41:40Oh my god, that's hilarious. Oh my god, I need 11 labs. Morgan Freeman, the king penguin took over the island.
234. 42:04Can I loop?
235. 42:24and good night everyone. Have a fantastic evening. Okay, so Grock wasn't so big on prompt coherence, but it's really fast. Um, and
236. 42:40it'll just instantly make you videos. By the way, new street photography hack. Go do street photography. If you if you
237. 42:47know what it is and you like it. I love it. I love street photography. Just destined a little see something you think's a picture. Take it.
238. 42:57Upload your pictures to Grock and it instantly turns them into videos. Let me show you something I did in New York. I
239. 43:03haven't even done this yet cuz cuz this is a project that I I actually need to finish. Oh, wait. Squirrel.
240. 43:16Okay. Remember remember the other night I was trying to find um these black and white pictures from this box. Remember
241. 43:25this box? It's this little 4x5 card box and in it are all these 4x5 uh film negatives from 1937. And so I took a couple of pictures of
242. 43:40some of the things in there. And so here's here's one of them. That cute little kid in the middle there. They got look at the size of
243. 43:49those rabbits. And then this is Donald Donald Ira Wilson, son of Ira and Blanch Wilson, was born on June 10th,
244. 44:001920 in Atlanta, Kansas. Was killed in action on the Italian front December 9th, 1944. So it's someone that was killed in action. There's a
245. 44:12in grateful memory of from Franklin Roosevelt. And then there's just these pictures and they're like, "These people are really stylish
246. 44:22and the photographs are really good. It looks like a woman photographing her shadow. Looks like a bob haircut.
247. 44:33Like look at those dudes. Look how cool they are. Look how cool that car is." And so you can take any of these and
248. 44:43turn these into images. So So Grock's really good at that. So, so street photography you can do old photography
249. 44:49and turn it into photos, but you can also do um okay all these. So,
250. 45:06see these things that look like kind of photographs on the wall? They're all mosaics. Look at that. This is in New York City at the 72nd
251. 45:20Street station. So, I took pictures of every single one of these. The whole station's full of them. Like this dude with the briefcase flying
252. 45:31open. Mama with a stroller, bow-legged cowboy. Aren't these great?
253. 45:45Then I went into Grock. So let's go into Grock again. Is this Grock? Let me see. Where's my October social September?
254. 46:00Let's see. History. Imagine. Are these buying? Yeah, there we go. Oh, yeah. So, here's that one. That's one of those old photos turned
255. 46:15into that which is so cool. Creepy cool. This is a fun one. Little kid. It's like I'm done, mom. I'm out of here.
256. 46:30Even in 1937, kids were a pain in the ass. Oh, man. All right, let's see. Do it. Uh, no. Did I not do them in Grock? I
257. 46:45thought I did them in Grock. Guess not chat. No, I don't remember where I did them. But
258. 47:01anyway, I turned those things into cool into cool images. All right, so that's Grock. So, so we've got Grock image
259. 47:10is good, fast, really good at video. Chat GBT image. Um, was it Rick McCaulay? Yeah, Rick McCaulay today um
260. 47:20described Chat GBT's image generation like a a snapshot, you know, like a disposable camera. And uh and Nano
261. 47:29Bananas like a digital SLR, like you just have a lot more controls and things. Um, I think that the thing that sets Nano
262. 47:38Banana Pro apart from anything else so far, including Chat GBT, is that it's natively tied to the reasoning engine.
263. 47:46So, Nano Banana is just better at solving things visually. And then the the last one I'll show you here is Meta. Meta.ai
264. 47:59also has image generation. So, if you go down the lefth hand side here and you say create and then let's pop in our prompt.
265. 48:13We'll see how it does. It's using midjourney, so I don't think it's going to get the prompt coherence
266. 48:24right. Oh, yeah. And I'm I'm using a uh a mood board, obviously, or a style reference. So, I'm going to get rid of that. We'll try it again.
267. 48:35But these are kind of cool. Why can I not view that? Bigger. I want to see it bigger. Look at that. That's pretty gorgeous.
268. 49:05That was cool. All right. Close that. And then here's So this is MidJourney's
269. 49:19version of this. Let's see. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. That's got seven penguins. That's not so bad.
270. 49:40It's more than seven. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Absolutely bonkers. All right, so
271. 49:58So right now there's just from the commercial companies and this is not including ideog it's not including Leonardo it's not including
272. 50:10crea it's not including Deco here which a lot of those apps that let you use different models you can use all
273. 50:19these models inside them anyway um turn them into Danny Dvito Oh, that's pretty cute. Yeah, let's do that. Okay,
274. 50:30let's do it. Uh, they won't let us do it. We'll do it at uh Gemini. Okay, turn the uh let's see. Zoom in
275. 50:47on the penguins and make them all Danny Devito from the Penguin
276. 51:02movie. Um, they should look silly but menacing.
277. 51:39Baba butt. What's happening? Baba butt. Baba butt in the house. Look, seven penguins.
278. 51:59That's pretty good, man. All right, Google. I I would seriously like to understand how Google went from being a laughing stock
279. 52:14the the year Chat GPT came out, they they were so bad to being this good. Just goes to show you when you dump a
280. 52:24big old pile of [ __ ] money toward a single thing, good things can happen on your unless your name is Mark
281. 52:39Zuckerberg. That's a great point. What was he throwing? $200 million signing bonuses for 22year-old engineers.
282. 52:51Wait a minute. That didn't work out. Is Pate in here? Pate, what's happening? Listen, Pate, you're not going to be
283. 53:00comfortable here anymore. I keep saying nice things about Google. I keep I keep demoing things. I keep
284. 53:08expecting Google things that I demo to suck and they keep being really good. Uh, I would argue, and you you know,
285. 53:17you've told me this day would never come. I would argue that OpenAI has lost the lead and they've lost their uh
286. 53:29their their purpose, their mojo. They've lost their mojo. Anyway, um there is so much I'm going to I'm going to um
287. 53:42I'm going to check out for a minute. I talked about this on the AI readiness project podcast today with all of the stuff that's coming out
288. 53:55and it's a lot. It's like it's a lot. Like Brandon's having a tough time keeping up with it and then he tries to
289. 54:02explain it to me and I'm just like my eyes glaze over. Um, it is it is now my contention that the tools don't matter.
290. 54:20Now, could we do anything remarkable without the tools? No. No. The tools the tools matter to do stuff, but the tools don't
291. 54:28matter. Like, you've got to learn them. You've got to learn to prompt this one just correctly and you
292. 54:35got to learn to the foibless of that one and this and that. I just think the tools are getting good enough now that
293. 54:41the tools are good enough and then it comes back to who are you and what are you trying to do in the world? Jim Ross
294. 54:47was in here and just said you had a breakthrough week with AI. One of the reasons Jim can have breakthrough weeks
295. 54:54with AI is he's constantly thinking about his business. He's thinking about his business and his customers and how does he serve them and
296. 55:03how can how can he let people know the cool thing that he came up with to get it in front of them. How can he do that?
297. 55:13And so he just keeps asking all of the questions other than what's the best AI, right? Because there
298. 55:23is no best AI. They're all fine. They're all janky. There's vibe coding ones and picture ones and movie ones and word ones and
299. 55:36they're all fine. You know, none of them at this point are good enough that you can, you know, check out as a human,
300. 55:50but they're all fine. And if they're all fine, then that means you can choose any tool. You can literally choose any tool.
301. 55:58Well, how do you choose the tools? Where do you begin? You begin with what you want to do. What do you mean, what do I want to do?
302. 56:08Like literally, if you could do anything, what would you do? I don't know. Uh, I like pizza. Okay, good.
303. 56:21Do you want to make pizzas for people? Do you want to go to a pizza eating contest or create one? Do you want to
304. 56:28make pizza shaped refrigerator magnets? What do you want to do? H, I like pizza. Okay. So, you're gonna eat pizza? Yeah, I'm hungry. Okay.
305. 56:41Right. If your answer to every question is just, I'm kind of hungry. I want pizza. This, you might need to be a tad smarter than
306. 56:54that for this AI stuff, but not much more. I like pizza. I like to Rick McCaulay chat image 1.5 is an
307. 57:06amateur artist with great presets but it has strict limits. Nano banana is the is the world model. It gives you control and isn't offended
308. 57:19and it generates LeBron while GPT refuses. Fascinating. Gotta find your icky guy. Yeah, the icky guy thing is really is really powerful.
309. 57:34Um I think even just CJ Fletcher last year last year's Festivus, which by the way a week from Friday is AI Festivus 2025. If you have
310. 57:45not signed up, go to afestivist.com right now. Sign up. Last year CJ Fletcher did a session on midjourney
311. 57:57on or no stable diffusion on creating images. He's an artist and his goal is to be in MoMA within five years. Three
312. 58:04years have passed. He's got two years to get in MoMA. Um so he taught this class on how he makes art and how he thinks about art with AI.
313. 58:15and he's got he's got this super powerful gaming laptop that he carries around with him and it's got enough GPU
314. 58:21in it that it can run stable diffusion and he can render all of his images locally. And when he started his session, he
315. 58:30said, "Here's the most important thing I do when I sit down to make images is I close my eyes and I take a deep breath.
316. 58:50and he centers himself. And in that moment, he gets to say, "What do I want to create?" Not just, "I can create it. Squirt, squirt, squirt,
317. 59:01squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt. Let me squirt out more images. Let me squirt out more videos. Let me squirt out more songs."
318. 59:08He's taking a moment to go, "Where am I right now? What do I want to do right now? That's really important. Um, Tik Tok pin.
319. 59:19Woohoo. Festivist premium ticket. Love that, Rick Olsen. Thank you. That's awesome. Um, my break my breakthrough today was
320. 59:28co-pilot still makes up links even after I yelled at it. Yeah, Co-Pilot. So apparently like within Microsoft
321. 59:41they're having some issues with their salespeople like going into big enterprises and the big enterprises
322. 59:49are like yeah we'll take your other stuff but yeah co-pilot sucks. We're using chat GPT and we're using claude
323. 59:56and we're using Perplexity. They're using anything but C-pilot because it's it's bad. But whatever at some point it'll get fine.
324. 1:00:08Claude by AI research company Anthropic worked better for coding for me. Yeah, Milan Milan Junka. Um Claude Opus 4.5 does still seem to be
325. 1:00:20the the winner on coding. Um, Gemini Flash that just came out is um, orders of magnitude cheaper and a lot
326. 1:00:33faster than Gemini 3 Pro, but still pretty damn good. Um, there's so much there's so much Microsoft sucks. They do. They do. Um,
327. 1:00:49your play is the meaning in your life. life is meaning making. I would say the play is one of one of the things in my
328. 1:00:58life. But you know what was cool, Rick? I don't know if you if anyone's a theater geek here. Um I was on this Zoom call with these two
329. 1:01:08actors in New York and my writing partner in upstate New York and I'm sitting in Denver and I'm sitting in
330. 1:01:12this corporate, you know, meeting room. And it's got like frosted geometric shapes on the windows and I'm just
331. 1:01:20looking at myself on the screen and it's like 7:00 at night and there's no one in the office and I'm rehearsing a play and it just
332. 1:01:29took me back to when I was doing plays in New York City where you know you'd work a 9 to5 and then you'd go rehearse
333. 1:01:36from like you know six o'clock until [ __ ] two in the morning and you'd do that for for two months and then you'd
334. 1:01:44launch the play. You You'd go do the play and like 17 people would come on the biggest night and two people would
335. 1:01:51come on the the shittiest night and then you'd be depressed and then you'd do it again and then you do it
336. 1:01:59again and it reminded me of that. It reminded me just, you know, having my corporate day job going to do the theater gig. So,
337. 1:02:07but I'm telling you that the Sydney story you you'll see if you come to Festivus, it's it's really good. This is
338. 1:02:13the the part that we've chosen to show to to to excerpt for the uh for Festivus is the heart of the show. It's where the
339. 1:02:23tech reporter brings her to life. It's really good. Um do you have to create in the images tab? No, you can
340. 1:02:34I think you get the same. Okay. So, in um is it Gemini? No. Uh No, it's in chat GPT, right? Which one,
341. 1:02:48Vicki? I think you were talking about chat GPT either. No, they they just made these images tabs because they're giving you presets.
342. 1:03:03Yeah, there you go. They've got all these presets, right? Like create a holiday card. So there's a create a
343. 1:03:10holiday card. There's a photo of me in a in a garbage pale kids t-shirt. Chat GBT has nanny guardrails. It really
344. 1:03:26does. It's garbage. Woohoo. Festivist premium ticket. Rehearsal night image in a regulars. Oh, nice. Okay, cool.
345. 1:03:42Here's my holiday greeting card. Holiday cheer with Coca-Cola warmth.
346. 1:03:57That looks decently like me. Oh, that's hilarious.
347. 1:04:12Um, let's see. Um, if I go add photos and I go Santa
348. 1:04:31D.
349. 1:04:47Oh, the question was images. Yeah, the images. So, I can just be in normal chat and just go I can click on the plus
350. 1:04:54button and then say create image and see how it's got the styles down here. Like we can do dramatic. We'll choose that photo. Is that going?
351. 1:05:07Yes. Yeah, I guess LeBron probably cut a deal
352. 1:05:22with them. The thing I'm still blown away with that that people aren't talking about as a as big a deal as it is is the Disney deal with
353. 1:05:34Chat GPT. You're going to be able to make Disney characters inside Sora, the Sora app, the video app. Um, and normally Disney would charge a
354. 1:05:48licensing fee to be able to use their IP. They paid chat GPT OpenAI a billion dollars to be able to be on their platform.
355. 1:05:59I find that remarkable. Remarkable. Look at that. Look at that man. Look at that man. He's He's wet. He's
356. 1:06:10moist and dirty. He's a moist, dirty man. Look at that man. He's all man. He's got man hands. He's got a man tan in man hands. That
357. 1:06:26man. All right. Rehearsal night image in irregulars. In irregulars. Let's go. Look. All right. Here we going. We're going everybody.
358. 1:06:41Here we go. The Penguin Beatles. Nice. Solid. Oh, look at that. Rehearsal day by Kyle
359. 1:06:58Shannon and Andrew Watts. You know what's funny? We were talking about um securing the rights for this thing. And
360. 1:07:06and uh one of the women that we're working with was like, "Maybe you should do a musical about trying to secure the
361. 1:07:12rights for a musical." Which I thought was pretty funny. Look, there's Champy. Sydney's got blue hair. Why is she
362. 1:07:19sitting on like a hemorrhoid pillow? Sydney, an artificial an artificial love story brought to you by Preparation H.
363. 1:07:39It's It's tough producing on Broadway. We had to listen, Kyle. Good news is we got enough money to put your show up on
364. 1:07:45Broadway. What's the bad news? Well, we had to take on some sponsors. What do you mean sponsors? Yeah. Well, our
365. 1:07:52biggest sponsors, Preparation H. What? Yeah. Sydney's got to have uh some sort of issue.
366. 1:08:06Man, that's some comedy right there. All right. I'm on a kind of mission. Thank you, Lord Digital Gods, for making
367. 1:08:22cool uh cool YouTube thumbnails all the time. You're amazing. Um, what's this? All right. Excellent image prompt. Oh, that's cool, Danielle.
368. 1:08:32Very nice. There's Mr. It. Beautiful. Lovely. Oh, that was when I talked about peanut butter sandwiches.
369. 1:08:46Oh man, Vicki, sometimes in Mighty Networks things don't post. Like I get things where it's like I posted something and
370. 1:08:57then I go back and it's not posted. I don't know what happens with it. Something's odd. All right. Um I gotta get out of here.
371. 1:09:05I'm crispy. I'm crispy as a critter. Um, there's kind of too much to pay attention to right now. So, don't just
372. 1:09:15go to Vicky's L on Saturday and then get your rest. Get your rest to deal with your family and then come hang out with us a week
373. 1:09:25from Friday starting at 9:00 a.m. We've builtin breaks so you you're going to be able to go get pretzels, nachos, hot pockets, leftovers,
374. 1:09:40get in a bite with Uncle Stew, and then come back and see the next Festivist thing. So, it's 12 hours with breaks.
375. 1:09:509:00 am to 900 pm Pacific, Friday the 26th. 9:00 a.m. to 900 p.m. Friday or no, Saturday, December 27th. All right.
376. 1:10:05All the tools are very overwhelming right now. What's what what makes them overwhelming is that there's not a
377. 1:10:12single tool that's a single tool anymore. All the all the tools are multi- it's like we went from a Bowie knife
378. 1:10:20that you could like chop stuff with and it was good. And now every Frontier model site is like a Swiss Army knife and it's like they're
379. 1:10:29the specialized one like the electronics one with weird screwdriver tips. It is it's it is it's exhausting right
380. 1:10:37now. Everybody did an amazing job showing up with their YouTube comments. Yeah, thank you for that. That was really nice. YouTube comment.
381. 1:10:47Um, I've been making freezer meals. Will ship for money. That's so those sound cool.
382. 1:11:01What number business is that of yours, Vicki? In between 3D printing in between 3D printing um fidget spinners for people like me,
383. 1:11:16she's cooking pre-done meals. Oh man. Oh, she's talking about nourishing me for festivus. Oh, that's
384. 1:11:27hilarious. That's awesome. That's great. Um fantastic for festivus. Beautiful. All right, I'm going to get out of here.
385. 1:11:36So, go see Vickiy's L on Saturday. Today's Wednesday. Tomorrow's Thursday. Uh, I did that math. I could figure that
386. 1:11:43out. Once I knew today, I could actually figure out with my large language model. What's the next day after this day we're
387. 1:11:52in? Depending on the time, depending on your time zone. Steve disagrees with me. Different time zone, different part of
388. 1:11:58the world. He's living in the future. There's no reason he needs to be obnoxious about it, but he is. He's
389. 1:12:07living in the future, right? Anyway, it's Wednesday here. I know because I can do math because I have a large
390. 1:12:13language model built right here. Low wattage. I think it's something like 10 watts. Tomorrow's Thursday. So, come back here tomorrow 8:00
391. 1:12:25and we'll we'll do some [ __ ] All right. manastic. You don't have to figure it out. If you if you're in Notion, it'll know. I swear
392. 1:12:37to God, Vicki, if I go through the the angst like right now with notion, I'm in I'm in the notion shame state. The notion
393. 1:12:49shame state is everyone's talking about notion. Everyone's talking about how remarkable it is once you team up AI with notion.
394. 1:12:58And I've actually gone and looked at notion and I don't know if you download it or you go to the website doesn't
395. 1:13:03[ __ ] matter. Whatever you do with it. I looked at it and then I tried to chat GPT it and chat GPT said oh notion's
396. 1:13:12based on these concepts of I don't know widgets and snorts or it's it calls them something like components right and so I
397. 1:13:22go to notion and nothing in there is labeled what the core idea of it is and so I'm just an angry Gen Xer and so I said no I
398. 1:13:39So, I'm going to take when Vicki teaches her LOL, her notion, LOL, I'm going to take it. And then if I install this
399. 1:13:47stupid [ __ ] thing and it's horrible, what do I do? What do I do? We've officially entered whiny Wednesdays.
400. 1:14:01I don't like AI. There's too much to learn. I'm exhausted. You know, I got a musical, right? It's probably not going to go anywhere.
401. 1:14:14Kill me. Fire me. All right, everyone. You have yourselves a fantastic evening. Um, go join the AI salon. Join the ASLon mastermind. Go to
402. 1:14:28the LOL's. Sign up for festivists. Get your ass out there. Share things. Help us. help us bring new people into
