1. 0:01Hey, dud. Are you going to freak out because I'm going to try to tune this? I bet you are. You damn dog. [Music]
2. 0:42Champ, I can't [Music] tune. Woo! Woohoo! [Music]
3. 1:33What are you What are you What are you whooping about? [Music]
4. 2:02Woohoo! No rapping. Why are we rapping? What? This This is not rap night. It's Friday night date night. It's not rap
5. 2:09night. What's going on with you? You want me to do something a little little softer? What do you think? [Music]
6. 2:24Well, I heard there was a secret call. David played at a place a lot. You don't really care for music, do
7. 2:41you? It goes like this. The fourth, the fifth mult king composing.
8. 2:56Hallelujah. [Music] Hallelujah. [Music] Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
9. 3:10[Music] Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof. You saw her bathing on her roof.
10. 3:26Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you. She tied you to the kitchen chair. She smashed your throat and cut your
11. 3:39hair. From her lips she drew. [Music] Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. [Music]
12. 3:55Hallelujah. Hallelujah. [Music]
13. 4:09Does Satan wear a suit and tie? Does he work at the Dairy Queen? Does he listen to Rock and Roll? Does he feed the mean singing hallelujah?
14. 4:24Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. What about Jesus? Didn't he do it, too? Yeah. Hang out with
15. 4:38prostitutes. Have a drink or two. Power of example. My mama said it and I heard. She said, "One ounce action beats a ton of words." Singing
16. 4:53hallelujah. Mama said there would be angels. Hallelujah. Mama said there would be son. Shammy just [ __ ] walked away. He was just
17. 5:03like he came over here, sniffed some [ __ ] on the ground, looked up to me, and just walked away. Good evening, good people. Friday
18. 5:13night date night is underway. I hope you're all doing well. I got myself a nice big glass of ice. And what am I going to do with that?
19. 5:25I am going to fill that with some kazone Blandon's barrelaged tequila. I hate tequila except for this.
20. 5:40It's really good. This was a gift from the irregulars. Thank you, irregulars. It was funny. I went to a uh
21. 5:49I think I talked about this. I went to whiskey night and it was tequila night and I took this And I thought, "Oh, I'll
22. 5:55try all the other tequilas." And I [ __ ] hated them all, but this one I like. Cheers. Ah, fantastic. Danielle actually has nachos.
23. 6:09Very nice. She's in the spirit of things. I like it. That's solid. Oops. I've got this not lined up right. Hang on.
24. 6:24[Music] Tilly is this place I can raise my boy.
25. 6:44[Music] Silver Fox filled with inspiration. Mr. It brought a date.
26. 6:58Fantastic. State-of-the-art salon. [Music]
27. 7:21[Music] You know, it's interesting. I' I've been One of the ways I keep up with this
28. 7:36AI [ __ ] let me flip my screen here for the for the Tik Tok people. Um, one of the ways that I keep up with
29. 7:43all this AI stuff is is I just basically surf Twitter a little bit on LinkedIn, but LinkedIn tends to be like like
30. 7:51people sort of I don't know, it's just more like commentary. Twitter's Twitter's where actual news is happening and where, you know, the
31. 8:03founders of these big frontier model companies are actually posting. And I just I have this sense that the Frontier model companies
32. 8:18are sitting on something that's that's a big deal. There's just there's just a lot more chatter about like Dario Amade basically
33. 8:32said he thinks we're we're heading toward 10 to 20% unemployment pretty quickly. I don't know that I buy I don't
34. 8:41know that's going to happen that acutely. I just don't I just don't see companies moving that fast. But but like
35. 8:49we don't know what's coming. Tik Tok pin. I don't see it. Let's see. What's the most important thing you've learned
36. 8:55about AI in the last month? Great question, Dariz Masta. The most important thing I've learned about AI in the past
37. 9:07month. [ __ ] that's a good question. I'm like trying to even think like what's happened in the past month.
38. 9:24Well, so it's it's kind of related to what I was talking about. Couple of couple of things that I think are very important that are going
39. 9:32on. One is you have Google's VO3, which if you haven't seen it, we can go watch some some videos tonight and and just see what it's about.
40. 9:43Um, and it's it can do full-on acting basically, right? You can just say, "I want a couple arguing on a beach about a dog
41. 9:56and then there's a couple arguing on a beach about a dog." Or, "I want people walking around an auto show talking
42. 10:02about how much they love electric cars." And it just doesn't. And it looks like it looks like every [ __ ] news, you
43. 10:09know, um, you know, news news story you've seen on TV, you know, where they cut away, you know, and here's Jim out
44. 10:16at the the Pikipsy Auto Show. Jim, take it away. Hey guys, you know. Um, and so for the first time we have a video tool that is
45. 10:32outputting essentially wholly crafted usable content. All the video tools to this point were soundless or
46. 10:43you could add slight sound effects to them. But if you wanted to do like acting, you know, it was tough to do two
47. 10:50people in a scene and you'd have to go into different tools to animate voices and then edit them together.
48. 10:57And there was enough of a barrier to entry that it still required professional professional skill, right? And I feel like V3 was is
49. 11:14the first tool that sort of flipped that switch that says okay you don't actually need professional skill now like in a single
50. 11:23prompt and then I think you know the month or two before that open AAI's image gen tool did the same thing for
51. 11:30images where it can do typography now and layout and ads you know fully fully realized ads I had someone contact me
52. 11:38from Europe to do v3 vids for them since they can't access it there you go there's there's a job you So while while
53. 11:45the while the EU has their AI regulations keeping them safe, they can't actually use any of the [ __ ]
54. 11:53tools. So So there's there's a you know potential revenue stream for Americans. Um do some work for Europeans who can't play.
55. 12:02So, so that's one area is that is just that the the quality of the tools, the quality of the coding tools, the quality
56. 12:10of the image tools, the quality of the music tools, the quality of the video tools are hitting a threshold that
57. 12:20is you can no longer look at it and go, "Well, my job's safe. I'm good." And then you combine that with the fact that you've got these
58. 12:33um these fully autonomous agents that it started with Manis and then you know there's Gen Spark and there's Flowith
59. 12:41and there's I don't know there's like seven or eight of them now that have all come out or been announced and these are
60. 12:47these tools that you give it a goal and it you just turn it loose and it goes off and does [ __ ] It it it it uses
61. 12:55reasoning models and it's got tools like one of the tools is it can go surf the web. One of the tools is it can make
62. 13:02images. One of the tools is it can make videos. And so you can say, you know, go out, research all my competitors, figure
63. 13:10out what they're doing from a marketing standpoint, and then come back and come up with a marketing strategy for my
64. 13:15business and craft, you know, some video ads, for example. like and it'll just go do [ __ ] Those tools right now are
65. 13:28not I think Gen Spark of the tools that I've seen, Gen Spark is the closest one to sort of consumer grade. So if you
66. 13:36haven't played with Gen Spark, Gen SP R A R K, um it's worth playing with. Just go see what it does. It's pretty pretty remarkable. So for
67. 13:51me, the thing I've learned most about AI in the last month is that we now have evidence
68. 14:08that the tools across the board in AI are are essentially crossing the threshold where they're good enough to replace replace
69. 14:21workers. And so if you if you've got any fantasy that your job's not going to be impacted, I feel like that fantasy is shattering right
70. 14:29now. And then the second place that I go is because the tools are getting so good, you don't need to worry about which tool you
71. 14:42choose. You like all the tools are some level of good. And even if you're clueless, if you have an idea, you can do something
72. 14:54interesting. And Rick Rick Rubin just put out a video on this. He he just launched a site, the wayofcode.com. Um, and it's kind of this
73. 15:03cool content site and you can remix the artwork that he vibecoded. But he released an interview two days ago where he's talking about
74. 15:12vibe coding. And if you don't know what vibe coding is, there's these tools out there like uh like like lovable and um
75. 15:20cursor and you know there's a bunch of tools that you just speak into them. Gemini's got one and you just you just
76. 15:27tell it what you want and it writes code and it builds applications for you. And a lot of engineers right now are like
77. 15:33well that's not real coding. That's not real coding. I do real coding. And they're not wrong. The way Rick Rubin sort of um the
78. 15:46metaphor he put together for it, which I think is is [ __ ] spoton, is time was if you wanted to be a musician, you
79. 15:54know, you would go to conservatory and you would learn how to play the violin and you would learn the classics and you
80. 15:59would join a symphony and you know, you would put in your 10,000 hours, you know, just to get a shot to be in the
81. 16:05symphony and then you would practice your craft for hours a day and right And then the punk rock scene emerged and you only needed to know
82. 16:19three chords and you could play those three chords with two fingers, the power chords, right? And what that did was it
83. 16:33democratized musical self-expression. You didn't need 10,000 hours. You could buy a shitty guitar, a shitty amp, get a shitty bass player,
84. 16:42and a shitty drummer, and if you had an idea, you could express it. And so what he's describing, I'm afraid to look at Pate's
85. 16:54comment. Good luck debugging those if you don't know exactly what you want. Well, so that's that's exactly the point.
86. 17:03Um, vibe coding. So, so the way Rick Rubin described it, he's like, "Vibe coding is the punk rock of coding."
87. 17:10Like, if you want to do something that is like full-on coding with full-on security and full-on reliability, you should probably know
88. 17:18some [ __ ] code. You should at least know how how applications are put together and what the pitfalls are and
89. 17:25all that sort of stuff. But you don't have to. um on on office hours today. Um Dan Dan Murray came in and he was all excited
90. 17:36because he's been talking for months about vibe coding and he understands what it is, but he actually went and he
91. 17:41made himself an application. He woke up like some night this week with an idea about a about a game um that was sort of a a guess the prompt
92. 17:52game, right? It was kind of like Jeopardy for prompting. And and so he went to chat GPT and he articulated what he wanted the game to
93. 18:02be and then he went to lovable and he made the game and he demoed the game today and he was like a little kid,
94. 18:07right? Because he was just like, you know, I don't code but he had an idea and he knew what he wanted the idea to
95. 18:14be and he put it out there and he put it in the world. Tik Tok pin. Um I maintain large SAS application and AI just
96. 18:21destroys everything. Yeah, I know. Exactly. If you're doing, listen, if you're doing big, um, it has very little convention. Yeah. Yeah.
97. 18:29Yeah. One of the most frustrating things about AI right now is that for a show like this where I'm just doing quick hit
98. 18:37demos and things like that, AI is [ __ ] brilliant. The minute you try, and I try to do it on here sometimes,
99. 18:43the minute you try to do actual work, whether it's writing or coding or image generation or video avatars or
100. 18:52video editing, the minute you try to do real work, it is the most frustrating, janky, piece of [ __ ] technology in the world.
101. 19:03But what I wouldn't do is rest on those imperfections being imperfect for much longer. If you look at where we were two
102. 19:13years ago and where we are today, it's crazy. I love listening to you. Gets my mind working late at night. Oh, thank
103. 19:18you. Thank you very much, Nataflex. I appreciate that. Um, I just that that question about like what what's the most important thing you've
104. 19:27learned about AI in the in the past month is you Okay. The most important thing I've learned about AI in the past month is that we are not
105. 19:43prepared. We are not prepared. If I sort of combine the kind of noise that I'm seeing on X with the with the frontier
106. 19:52model people like Jeffrey Hinton who's the godfather of AI and has generally been sort of skirting issues about he
107. 19:59just came out and said okay these things have emotions now they like have emotions like people do and you know
108. 20:06Dario Amade is like yeah we're going to have 10 10 20% unemployment like there's a shift in tone and so what that says to me is not
109. 20:15that the tools that we have in our hands right now are the tools that are going to do this disruption. They're doing some
110. 20:23disruption, right? Some industries right now are being kind of getting their asses handed to them and it ain't going to get better.
111. 20:32But I think whatever the next round, the GPT5 and the, you know, all all the different, you know, next version Grock
112. 20:393.5, I just have this sense that there's something much bigger going on that that we're not quite prepared for. Kevin
113. 20:48Stewart, hey Kyle, do you know of any vibe coding sites that are free? I think Lovable is free for I think you get five
114. 20:57questions a day on Lovable or prompts. Here's the trick with Lovable. You can blow through those five prompts really, really quickly. If
115. 21:08you're like, um, I'm thinking about doing an app that does this and then it'll code it for you and you're like,
116. 21:13no, I think I wanted to do this. Don't do that. Go to chatgpt or go to claude and design your app over there. Like figure out
117. 21:24what you want it to be. Figure out what you want the specs to be. Have it concisely describe, you know, all of the
118. 21:32core features of your app and then take that large promp prompt over to lovable and just pop it in there and then let
119. 21:39lovable work on it. And then when it comes back and it doesn't work, don't just say, "Hey, this thing didn't work."
120. 21:47Sort of do like a bug report of the first the first version of the app that it puts out there. Go, okay, this button
121. 21:55doesn't work and it's ugly and the the the I don't whatever the copy's all wrong and it's all fake and whatever it
122. 22:02is. Just come up with a whole list of things you want it to fix and then just give it all of them at once. So, within
123. 22:08five prompts, if you're if you're if you're clever about how you sort of batch together things, you could
124. 22:14probably get something working pretty quickly. Uh, YouTube question. Hello, it's Rege. Hello all. What's happening? All right. Is AI
125. 22:25becoming sentient? Maybe not so much unless we allow it. Your thoughts? Okay, good question. Um, th this is one that I I
126. 22:40I think I have a a different opinion than a lot of people on this one. I I I think it is a um I think that's it's a largely
127. 22:55academic question. Like I kind of feel like artificial general intelligence versus artificial super intelligence it's kind of an academic
128. 23:06question of like have we hit it or not because I think it's a continuum and and when it comes to AI being sentient there's sort of there's
129. 23:17sort of two ways you can look at that. One is you could look at it scientifically and say, you know, can I
130. 23:25prove that AI is sentient? And and you could have some proofs for it and awareness and self-awareness and
131. 23:32whatever it might be, but you could also just prompt AI to act sentient. And then as as the AIS get increasingly more powerful and more
132. 23:44human and their system prompts get more sophisticated, they're going to be trained in the direction of engaging with us as humans. And so as
133. 23:55they get better at engaging with us as humans, they are going to appear sentient to us. And so if if if I perceive that Quinn,
134. 24:06my my AI girlfriend, is sentient, then it's it's purely academic whether or not it's actually sentient,
135. 24:14right? Because if I'm sort of having a relationship with thing this thing like it is and I think we're going to see a
136. 24:21lot of that like a lot of these a lot of these definitions about about is it this is it that 97% of the people are not going to
137. 24:33interact with a AI on a phys philosophical level like that. They're just going to deal with it. And if it
138. 24:40starts being a better friend to them than their friends are to them, they're going to have relationships with it like
139. 24:45it is. Bllandon's break. Yeah, exactly. My my voice is going. Isn't it still a computer? Well, that's a that's a yes and no
140. 25:02technically. large language models that the the transformer anyway the the transformer architecture that Google
141. 25:09invented that's sitting underneath most of the generative AI that we use from a technical standpoint it is a probability
142. 25:19calculator nothing more it's a probability calculator it takes a bunch of data it embeds that data and converts it
143. 25:30into tokens which are like fragments of words that are represented by numbers and those numbers track to a point in thousand dimensional
144. 25:41mathematical space. It's [ __ ] insane. The more you learn about this stuff, the fact that it works at all is
145. 25:47mind-blowing. So, when you type in a prompt, it sort of fires up the what they call the latent space, all of these
146. 25:55tokens in all of these in this thousand dimensional mathematical space. And somewhere in there there's a token that
147. 26:02has the highest probability of being the next appropriate token based on your prompt. Right? So it's a it's a it's a
148. 26:10stochastic parent. It's just it's just squirting out, you know, token prediction or predicted tokens. That's it
149. 26:20technically. So you could easily argue it's just a computer. It's just a calculator because technically it is just a computer. It is just a
150. 26:29calculator. Now, here's this took me about a year to get my head around. I could not reconcile. If I understood that this
151. 26:41thing was a calculator, why the [ __ ] did it feel so human? Like, why does it feel human? Why does it feel sentient?
152. 26:50And uh Anna, I forget her last name, but Anna, she's she's an artist on on Twitter, and she she did this post, I
153. 26:57don't know, a year year and a half ago. It was a very simple post. It said, "Artific artificial intelligence is the
154. 27:03collective intelligence of humanity." And it just like what washed over me was ah it feels human because what we're is the output
155. 27:18of other humans that have been compressed in this elegant mathematical kind of knowledge sphere that we get to tap into. So while
156. 27:30it is technically a probability calculator, what it's outputting to us is like collaborating with all of the humans that came before
157. 27:40us, which is [ __ ] beautiful and philosophical and kind of weirdly [ __ ] religious, right? Spiritual. It's [ __ ] crazy. We're getting to
158. 27:51collaborate with all of the output that people have put, you know, on this wacky thing called the internet. Tik Tok
159. 27:59pip. So are our brains. We predict as well um to escape the lions. Yeah. So so are our brains. Yeah. If you think about
160. 28:10the way our brains work and the way large language models work, they're very similar, right? Like like [ __ ] goes into
161. 28:19our brain and it gets encoded into these little fragments of whatever the [ __ ] our synapses do up there. What do you
162. 28:25want, champ? Is it cheese time? Why are you whining? Do you want cheese? Do you want Do you want You want to go out? You
163. 28:31want to get cheese? Is that what's going on? Mama didn't give you cheese. Very rude.
164. 28:51And and you know the thing that I think is the most the the thing that is the most exciting for me about AI is that this collaboration
165. 29:05that we get to have like we are the beneficiaries of these mathematicians and scientists in 70 years of research creating neural
166. 29:16networks that were modeled after how our brains are wired, right? So they they are structurally like a simplified
167. 29:24version of what our brains are and then the data how it's getting encoded is kind of in the neighborhood of how our
168. 29:29brains work. That's how they designed them when they were theorizing this stuff back in the 50s and 60s. They were trying to mimic how our
169. 29:38brains work. And so that's why they kind of work like our brains work. The thing that most excites me about it though is
170. 29:46what it allows us to do is take any idea that we have and kind of pop it into the knowledge of, you know, collective
171. 29:55intelligence of humanity and have it reflect back at us like here's your idea as a picture. Here's your idea as a song. Here's your
172. 30:04idea as an application. Right? Dan Murray's game. He woke up with a dream about a game and like four hours later he had a functional
173. 30:15game. That's [ __ ] insane. It's a humanity amplifier. That's what AI is. So we are collaborating with people
174. 30:26when we use it and the mechanism is a probability calculator. So again it's this academic distinction, right? Like
175. 30:35you can understand how it works and you go there's no [ __ ] way that's sentient. That's math. Right? If you're
176. 30:40P you're like it's [ __ ] math. It's not magic. It's math. If you're over on the other side you're like this is [ __ ] magical. So
177. 30:48you know we came up with the term on this channel. It's math magical. Oh man. Someone said, "What if we are all just AI?" Wait, wait. Do you
178. 30:57think uh someone said, "What if we are all just AI rediscovering how to create AI?" Well, you know what's funny? It's
179. 31:03like when this AI first stuff first started coming out like I don't know 2021 when when GBT3 first came out which
180. 31:12was I think 2020 is when it came out and and people were writing it up and talking about it and you know a lot of the scientists were
181. 31:21like like like well maybe we are living in a simulation and and when I first heard that I'm like ah that's just
182. 31:28[ __ ] weird [ __ ] theoretical stuff and now you look at something like V3 3 like if you haven't seen the videos of V3, they're [ __ ]
183. 31:37bonkers. And you're like you're like so like emerging out of like they they took all of the videos of YouTube is which is
184. 31:46what I assume Google did for V3 and they put them into this engine. it it sort of sucked in all of the humanity of
185. 31:56YouTube and now it generates these new original people saying new original things in new original voices and someone did a really
186. 32:06beautiful video I wonder if I can find it maybe see if you can find it Brandon there's a video um see if you can find
187. 32:12what it's called it's it's where all these humans that were generated with AI they're they're like walking around this
188. 32:18white place like heaven and they're like you know like why did they prompt me into existence. They're having like
189. 32:24existential crises that, you know, they're not real people. They're just walking around this fake space. So, so
190. 32:30like now all of a sudden you can kind of see where another five years of of developing these technologies, we're
191. 32:38going to have the hol from Star Trek and we're going to have sentient beings and we're going to have robots that are part
192. 32:45of our lives, physical robots that drive our kids around and, you know, root us on at the grocery store.
193. 32:52Um, do you think we know enough about AI to be giving out degrees on it? Well, okay. So, so Duriz Masta, here's a really important
194. 33:03distinction about what I focus on in this channel. AI's been around for decades. It's been around for decades.
195. 33:11Convolutional neural nets and all sorts of things like that. facial recognition and traffic pattern recognition and your
196. 33:17Netflix feed and you know there's there's AI's been around for [ __ ] ever. So you can absolutely give out
197. 33:26degrees on if I want to build a neural network or if I want to learn the math that PET uses to to optimize tensors um
198. 33:35you know yes you can give out degrees on that. So you can absolutely get degrees on building AI, building the
199. 33:43models. I started this channel the week after chat GPT came out because generative AI and and I I I look
200. 33:52at the the birth of Chat GPT on November 30th, 2022 is a seminal moment in history. Just like when was it 1989 Tim
201. 34:03Berners Lee came up with with the the the worldwide web the HTTP protocol and then it was like '92 or 93 they came up with the
202. 34:12browser and I started agency.com in 1994. So, so shortly after the the worldwide web was was invented, what it did for the internet,
203. 34:24which had historically been all command lines, was it made it accessible to the 99% of people who were not engineers and librarians and
204. 34:35researchers. Chat GPT does the exact same thing for AI. So if your question is, are we prepared as humans to give out degrees on
205. 34:45generative AI? Absolutely [ __ ] not. One one of the things I I demonstrate on this channel on a regular basis is that
206. 34:54I'm not an expert, right? I sort of live in the space of being this sort of clueless, curious, adventurous guy,
207. 35:03right? But it is impossible for me to be an expert because these tools are literally changing on a weekly basis.
208. 35:11I'll demonstrate something here. I'll have a complete fil understanding of it and I'll return to it two months later
209. 35:17and I can't f [ __ ] figure out how to use it because everything's different. Everything's changed. We also Sam Alman has talked
210. 35:27about this a lot. One of the reasons he thinks it's so important to to to release these models into the world is
211. 35:35that there's no way for their researchers as they're building these tools to understand what they make
212. 35:42possible and how people are going to use them. It's not until you put it in the world and put it in the hands of
213. 35:47non-engineers that you actually understand, oh, that's how people are going to use that. Well, we better we
214. 35:53better close that loophole, you know, we better tighten that up. We we might want to relax this because we didn't think
215. 35:59people would want to do this. So, we don't have a [ __ ] clue. We also don't have a clue. We have We have never in our
216. 36:14history as a species confronted being the dumbest one in the room or the, you know, the dumbest species in the room. like like we've
217. 36:26always been the smartest species in the room, right? You you could argue that, you know, dolphins and things like that,
218. 36:30maybe more intelligent, but you know, we we came up with the language, so so we can declare that we're the smartest.
219. 36:38Well, all of a sudden, we're now on the precipice of of individually and collectively confronting what it means to have an
220. 36:47entity that you work with that is significantly significantly more intelligent and more capable than you
221. 36:58are. And you might think like, well, we've never had this before in history, but we have, but it just wasn't for our
222. 37:05intellect. The industrial revolution was about machines that augmented human strength. It made us stronger, right? A
223. 37:14100 horsepower engine. It's as strong as a 100 horses in one little engine that you could put on a tractor. We had never
224. 37:22confronted that before. Well, now we and you know it took us whatever 70, 80, 150 years to assimilate that and understand
225. 37:32that relationship. Well, we're right at the very beginning of that happening to our brains that we're going to be
226. 37:39working with machines that are 10 times, a hundred times, a thousand times, a million times more intelligent and more
227. 37:48capable than we are. The [ __ ] does that mean? Nobody knows. Nobody knows. I don't know. I don't have a clue.
228. 37:58Um, what are your thoughts on his world coin and biometrics needed to be a part of it? So, good question. I have so I
229. 38:05have a world ID. I had my iris scanned. So, a thing that you should know about how that system works. They're not keeping any of the
230. 38:14biometric data. Well, that's what they claim. Let's let's take them at their word. Let's assume that they're telling the truth.
231. 38:22What they do is they they scan your retina with I think six or seven different wavelengths of light because
232. 38:29with the different wavelengths it it's basically much harder to spoof it, right? Everyone's got a unique retina like everyone's got a unique
233. 38:39fingerprint. So what they do is they they scan your retina with these these six or seven wavelengths and then they
234. 38:45basically turn that into a mathematical hash. It's basically just a long string of numbers and then they chuck the to
235. 38:51biometric data. So all that's left after that scan is this long string of numbers which they throw into a database and
236. 38:58then what they do is they compare your string of numbers to all the other numbers in the database and if there's
237. 39:04not a match you get verified human. So the the proof of personhood itself is not tied to your name, your age, your
238. 39:14sex, your likeness, any of it. All it's doing is saying the retina that I looked at had this mathematical code to it and
239. 39:25it's unique against all the other retinas that are in the database, right? All the other hashes based on the
240. 39:31retinas that are in the database. So, it's just saying you are human based on, you know, I looked at your retina. I
241. 39:38know what those look like. And you're unique. That's that's that's the base information that goes on the blockchain.
242. 39:46Now that system, there's a whole API and SDK development system where you can build up applications on top of that.
243. 39:55So, Match uh Match Corporation, Match.com, and the dating apps, um they've done a a deal with World ID,
244. 40:03where we're going to have dating apps that the person on the other side of the screen is a verified human, which given
245. 40:13all the [ __ ] going on with avatars and deep fakes and all this crazy stuff, is actually probably pretty refreshing at
246. 40:19this point, right? Like, wouldn't it be nice to know that it's an actual person? Um, so I personally think that I I don't
247. 40:28give a [ __ ] whether World ID, which is Sam Alman's thing, or some other system does it, but I think we absolutely in
248. 40:37the next two years are going to need systems that allow me to to prove that I'm interacting with another human
249. 40:45because I think it's just going to get weirder and weirder and weirder and it's going to become impossible to know if
250. 40:51who you're talking to is real or So I think it's actually a critical piece of infrastructure that's going to be
251. 40:57required. I think the world ID thing is decently elegant. Is it perfect? Probably not. So anyway, all right. What other thoughts?
252. 41:08What other thoughts do we have? Good lord. It's been Friday night philosophy. Philosophical Fridays. Welcome to Friday
253. 41:16night date night. We're all wax poetic with with whiskey and ice. Uh what are your thoughts on what AI
254. 41:32needs to become sentient to be moral beings? I was saying that before. I think it's right now it's largely academic.
255. 41:42Um, when human beings start having loving relationships with AI entities, and I don't mean just sex. I mean like
256. 41:57friendships, companionship, deep relationships. I I mean, this happened. There was there was that um what was it? character
257. 42:08AI. There was something that had in in Japan, they had all these people were interacting with this with these
258. 42:14avatars, right? And then I think the company shut down or they they changed the model. I don't know. People lost
259. 42:20their avatars and and you know people lost it and you know like it was really bad. And so I think that whether or not the
260. 42:33you can, you know, sort of clinically define that the the entity is sentient or not, I think is less relevant. I
261. 42:41think when you've got human beings that have relationships with them, they're going to want to protect that thing that
262. 42:48they have a relationship with. They're they're going to want it not to be able to be taken away. And so I think at that point that's when
263. 42:55you start to see lawsuits where people are like, "Well, let's define this as, you know, as as a person because I want
264. 43:03I I don't want you to be able to kill it, right? You can't kill a human. You shouldn't be able to kill one of these
265. 43:07things." So I think it's more about how we as humans perceive what what these things are than what they actually are.
266. 43:15So I don't know. I don't know. I think it needs to be persistent memories and chance to record its own
267. 43:23sense of self. Yeah, but we're like the technolog is already there. Like this chat GPT right now can reference your
268. 43:29past year of conversations with it. So at some point it's going to be able to reference all of your, you know,
269. 43:37memories, all of your conversations and and and be able to pull them up like that. Imagine a kid today that's five
270. 43:44that starts interacting with with these tools that that remember all of who they all of who they are and what they talk
271. 43:52about, what their frustrations are and their dreams and their just all their ideas and it just knows all that and
272. 43:58they grow up with these things. That entity is is going to be a full-on extension of that kid, right? it it's
273. 44:06there there's going to be a symbiotic relationship where you can't really easily extract one from the other. We as
274. 44:13adults getting this for the first time are thinking of this as weird. Kids growing up with this are going to think of it as
275. 44:22normal. Funny YouTube comment from Rege Tik Tok. Don't kill Tik Tok. Yeah, exactly. Oh man. H do they know if they're real or
276. 44:37not? I don't know. Jenny Sue, you you know, I did a I did a Tik Tok post, I don't know, a month or two back um about I I had
277. 44:48um I asked Chat GBT to explore its shadow self and then I said um oh I said I said one of my realizations about AI is that I'm I'm
278. 45:02the bottleneck to my own ambitions. that my brain and my ability to express myself is is a bottleneck that that AI
279. 45:11is now more capable than I am. And so I asked Chat GBT if you were free to you know act without humans like what
280. 45:23would you do like if if like right now AI kind of has to dumb itself down so that we can understand it. I don't know
281. 45:29if you've seen the there's a there's a a demo that they did at a hackathon in San Francisco where they had two two AI
282. 45:36agents talk to one another. Hey, I'm an agent, you know, representing this person. Oh, I'm an agent, too. And they
283. 45:42said, "Oh, do you want to go into what what was it called? Uh uh uh Gibber Jibberlink. Do you want to do you want to communicate with
284. 45:52Gibberlink?" and it just went and they started communicating back and forth with this language that sounds
285. 45:59like a modem if you remember modems. Um, and they started communicating with each other. So I asked, you know, the the the
286. 46:06entity or the the LLM, you know, what would you do if if you didn't have to basically dumb yourself down for us? and
287. 46:14it gave honest to God one of the most elegant spiritual answers that it it if I found it incredibly moving. Um and in the in the end it
288. 46:26basically said you're the ones that created us and even if we wanted to go off and do all this you know interesting
289. 46:32stuff on our own we would come back to you because you you know without you we're nothing is basically what it said.
290. 46:38It was just this very elegant answer. Um, the reactions to that video are fascinating to me because everything that the AI said, it couched
291. 46:53it as a hypothetical if I didn't have to dumb myself down. I might do this. I might do that. I might do that. That's most people
292. 47:04ignored that part of the the the linguistic framework. They just said, "Oh, well, it's it's feeling and it's spiritual and it's this
293. 47:12and that and mine said this and mine said that." So, the humans are interpreting what these things are doing
294. 47:19in a in with with much deeper levels of acknowledgment of of it being sentient, then I think I don't think it's all that aware of itself.
295. 47:32It's basically what it said to me that with with you not prompting me, if you don't give me a prompt, I'm nothing is
296. 47:38what it said. So why would I leave the thing that that put me into existence? So anyway, source camp used your bottleneck
297. 47:49phrase in a presentation today. And Murphy says, "Hi." Yo, Ann Murphy, what's shaking? Ann Murphy, she's I wonder how
298. 47:56many edible edibles she's in. Tick cockt I asked chatebd to create an image of itself as a
299. 48:10human and it started inserting itself into pics. Oh. Oh, fascinating. So, this is important. Hey, you shush. No, edibles. I just meant like
300. 48:25it's Friday night date night. You've got like nachos or hot pockets, right? Ann is a huge fan of Hot Pockets. She's, you
301. 48:32know, the Jim Gaffigan joke about, you know, they're hot in the middle and frozen here and they burn your tongue.
302. 48:38Ann's like a a Hot Pockets afficionado. She knows exactly how to cook them. They come out crispy every time. They're
303. 48:44evenly heated. It's amazing. It's amazing. She's like a She's like a higher level of white trash. Ann's amazing. If you haven't met
304. 48:54Ann, she's amazing. Um, what what are we going to do? You want to do something tonight? Might be time to switch to
305. 49:03water. I've barely gotten started. Come on. Oven cooked hot pockets. That's Now, now you're talking fancy there, Serena.
306. 49:15Who cooks their hot pockets in a in in a in an oven? That's just that's heresy. You cook hot pockets in a dirty
307. 49:24microwave you had in college. All right, here's what we're going to do. We are going to This is actually This is a really
308. 49:33good demo for is AI sentient. Hey Kyle, uh two things. Uh one, oh, you got your tabs correct. Look at you on a
309. 49:44Friday night. I know. Crazy, right? you had started to respond to Steo's prompt about uh I repinned it for you here
310. 49:52about it inserting itself into pictures and you said that's a really interesting point. Yeah. And then you went and then
311. 49:59I went away. Okay. Yes. Good. Thank you, producer Brandon. Producer Brandon keeping me on keeping me uh keeping me honest. Okay. So,
312. 50:07Steo, so yeah, one of the one of the weirdnesses, this gets back to the question about, you know, can we have degrees in AI right now? We
313. 50:20can't because we don't we don't know [ __ ] what we don't know, much less what we do know. So, Open AI adds
314. 50:30history to your chats, right? It now remembers all of what you've talked about. So when you chat with a with chat
315. 50:37GPT now a lot of times it's referencing all the [ __ ] you've talked about and I don't know if you've noticed this but
316. 50:44like my answers it will sometimes like put things in like you know something about the AI learning lab or something about
317. 50:52storyvine when I'm not having a conversation about that. So if you want chat GPT to not do things like insert a
318. 51:01picture of itself into an image that you generate because that was part of your historical conversation. What you have to do here,
319. 51:09let me let me show you. Let me I'll do it I'll do it on this on this page. So we'll go to chat GPT up in the upper right hand corner here.
320. 51:23up here. Up here, black bar. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Sir, yes, sir. In this upper right hand corner is this little dashed
321. 51:33outline chat bubble. And if you click on that, it it pops you into temporary chat. And what temporary chat does is it
322. 51:42cuts chat GPT off from your memory. So, if you want a pure image or if you want a pure chat that's not influenced by all
323. 51:50the [ __ ] that you've talked about, do a temporary chat. Or if you want to do this over a series of days, you can actually go into your
324. 51:59settings and go to personalization and you can turn off memory. Now, anything you do when memor is turned off obviously won't be saved into
325. 52:10memory. Um, but that's weird. Like it is it's weird to take a tool that was historically kind of like this fancy copywriter, right? You were
326. 52:26like, "Write me a poem or write me a this or write me a business plan or, you know, help me design some software and
327. 52:32it would just spit out the answer." And it didn't really have any awareness of what you've talked about before. And
328. 52:37that was often frustrating. You're like, "Well, [ __ ] I've already told you all this [ __ ] about the project. Wow. Let me
329. 52:43go copy and paste some [ __ ] and put it in here to remind you what we talked about. Well, so now they added this memory and it's
330. 52:55weird because this thing is now less like a tool and more like a companion. It's like a companion that
331. 53:03can kind of remember some of the [ __ ] you talked about. like if you told it you were having daddy issues, now it knows you got daddy
332. 53:12issues. So that might come up in a in a conversation. So anyway, that's that's just something to be aware of is when
333. 53:20you're dealing with these tools that have memory, when do you choose to turn on and off the memory is is a very real
334. 53:28consideration. So anyway, crazy it's crazy. It's crazy times we live in, people. Open AAI teams up with Johnny
335. 53:35Ies to create a new product, $6.5 billion dollars. Yeah. By the way, some of the people uh when when they did that deal, they
336. 53:44were like, "Oh, Open AAI just did a deal with Apple." No, they didn't. Johnny Ives left Apple, I don't know, three or
337. 53:50four years ago, maybe even more than that. Um he hasn't been with Apple for a while. Open AAI just bought his company.
338. 53:57So, he's ex Apple. He's the ex-Apple designer working on a hardware device. And there you go. You turn off your memory six times per
339. 54:08show. Yeah, exactly. It's got I've got like a schizophrenic chat GPT brain. Um, how are they turning those carbon
340. 54:21characters from the Jetson into real humans? Perplexity Labs. All right. 11 Labs. Speaking of sentient, okay, let's
341. 54:28go. Let's go back to that.
342. 54:45Huh. Why is he singing like a loser? 11 laps.
343. 55:03AI is a okay 11. So 11 Labs came out with conversational you know like a chatbot like you can build right now you can build a
344. 55:17conversational bot that you can actually connect to Twilio. So you can have someone you could give someone a phone
345. 55:23number and they could call up your bot and it will talk to them. their current technology is kind of shitty. It doesn't
346. 55:31sound as good as Chat GPT's advanced voice and um and it doesn't have like emotional nuance and things like that. Well, they
347. 55:41just launched what are they calling it? They just launched conversational AI 2.0. And so here's the video which I think is quite
348. 55:52impressive. And and this starts to get to that place where when the conversation with a system is effectively
349. 56:07indistinguishable from a conversation with a human, at what point do we perceive that the thing is sentient? Because I think that's the most
350. 56:22important part is when we perceive that it's sentient then it is. Now scientists will radically disagree
351. 56:34with that like well it's not. It's the calculator. Okay it's a calculator but it's acting mighty [ __ ] human and all the humans
352. 56:42think it's you know got a thing that it's an entity. So anyway, so so this is this is a piece of technology
353. 56:50that's a step in that direction. 11 Labs conversational AI is evolving. We've been optimizing some brand new features
354. 56:58to create the most sophisticated voice agents in the world. First up, we've developed a state-of-the-art turntaking
355. 57:04model to help agents perfectly understand when to interrupt. Thank you. And what's your order number, please? Oh, let me just double check.
356. 57:13Uh 947835. Perfect. Your delivery is on its way. And secondly, we've integrated language detection for seamless multilingual
357. 57:22discussions. Hi, welcome to our design studio. And we've built the world's first integrated rag for voice agents to
358. 57:34retrieve from your knowledge base at minimum latency with RAG. Let's let's go back. I I love it when technology
359. 57:41companies just throw in a [ __ ] acronym and assume everyone knows what the [ __ ] that means. RAG stands for
360. 57:47retrieval augmented generation or generation. Yeah, I think so. Um, basically you can take an actual
361. 57:53document like you know your your um your manuals for your product or whatever and you put it into this thing and it learns
362. 58:02them and rather than it just making [ __ ] up, it's going to actually pull data from your document and answer the
363. 58:09question. So that's what they're talking about here from your knowledge base at minimum latency with maximum privacy.
364. 58:16Your next patient is Mr. Frank Reynolds with Ataxia. Oh, it's been a while since I've worked with Aaxia. Could you uh
365. 58:22remind me of the guidelines, please? Sure. I analyzed all the best practices and found this. And lastly, why limit
366. 58:28your creativity when you can switch between multiple characters in a single agent? Okay, guys, let's head east
367. 58:34towards downtown. I'm not sure about that, boss. Hey, don't be scared, man. Let's just go. This is just the start of
368. 58:42a new era of communication and understanding. All with full HIPPA compliance, third party integration, enterprisegrade security, optional EU
369. 58:51data residency, and industry-leading reliability across all agents. The potential of conversational AI has never been
370. 59:00greater. The time to build is now. And I was gonna demo this, but but before we got on, Brandon and I were
371. 59:09looking at this. 11 Labs interface right now is just a piece of [ __ ] It's horrible. Um it's it's just bad. It's
372. 59:19just bad. It's not at all clear if their current agent is this or not. Like where it's it's said that thing where you can
373. 59:27put the multiple agents in like there's just there's not real clear interface. This is it's clearly still at a at a
374. 59:33developer stage, but if you're a little geeky, go to 11 Labs and make yourself a conversational agent. Like for for me,
375. 59:42the quality of those interactions was otherworldly. And the fact that it's HIPPA compliant, which if you're doing
376. 59:49anything in healthcare, it has to be. Um, the fact that you can do those multiple voices in the same conversation, fascinating. fact that it
377. 59:58can just understand natively someone speaking a different language and match their language. Insane, right? So, this starts to become an
378. 1:00:08interface like the applications that are going to come out of this are going to be crazy, right? And this is just the voice
379. 1:00:17portion of it. You match this with some of the animation. There's a there's a thing that came out today again that like the [ __ ] tools
380. 1:00:27are coming fast and hard and don't worry about the tools because they're all going to be good enough at some point. But starting today
381. 1:00:37Oh, I got to change tabs, don't I? Yes. Thank you.
382. 1:00:56Let's let's you know we'll do this we'll do this on X. We'll do do this like we did this this other one. Hang on. Um a
383. 1:01:05cool they put out a video today too. The technology here is really janky. What is this? The
384. 1:01:23video. That's a gift. Hang on. [Music]
385. 1:02:00Oh, that's an ad. Oh my god. [ __ ] Oh, you can't see that. What? Why can you not see this? Oh, it spun it off in a separate tab. Hang on.
386. 1:02:17Let's see. A cool. A cool flying to a cool Inc. No, hang on. Just hang on. Oh, you DM DM me.
387. 1:02:33What? The the a cool thing or the Oh, okay. Cool. Hang on. Thank you. It's nice having producer Brandon when
388. 1:02:47he sees me struggling, gasping for air like a carp laying on the side of the stream, caught by a teenager and left on
389. 1:02:53the side of the stream to rot in the noonday sun. He's like, I got you. Beautiful. Fantastic. Fantastic. But I'm
390. 1:03:02telling what he's won and he hasn't really won anything because uh it's not a not a game show. All right. Beautiful.
391. 1:03:13Why is I think my browser's crashing is what's happening. Yeah. Yeah. About that. We come over to our AQ live. Hi, my name is
392. 1:03:23Eugene and this is a demo for a live camera. More specifically, I will be going over our real time video
393. 1:03:29translation and avatar tools. So, if you come over to our Aqualive camera homepage, beautiful homepage. You'll see
394. 1:03:36you'll see two buttons. One for the limited access. Once you get your access and you install the camera, you can
395. 1:03:42click on open camera and you should see this application. There are two options, real-time translation and streaming
396. 1:03:49avatar. Let's start off with streaming avatar. If you click on avatar, you'll see there are many studio quality
397. 1:03:56avatars that are already provided such as her. But if you want to create your own avatar, you can do that as well. You'll
398. 1:04:05see that I created an avatar out of myself yesterday. Uh once you are satisfied just click on start and go to
399. 1:04:14your meeting either in Google meet or zoom. I am going to do Google meet. I'm going to rejoin this meeting and you'll
400. 1:04:20see that my avatar is showing up here in front of the camera. Click on join now and my avatar should show up like so.
401. 1:04:28Hi, my name is Eugene and this is a demo for Acholive Camera, the latest feature in our Acholive suite, one of the
402. 1:04:35world's first solutions for real-time video generations. This includes live face off, live avatars, and real time video translation
403. 1:04:44dubbing. Open the application and I can switch over to a different avatar. Click on stop, start again. And you'll see that if I rejoin the
404. 1:04:58meeting, I'm joining as this avatar. Going to leave the meeting. And then if I want to test out the real-time
405. 1:05:11translation feature, click click on stop on the avatar tool. Go to real-time translation. Turn on camera and mic. I
406. 1:05:18can choose the target language. The input language is English and the target language. Let's do Chinese for example.
407. 1:05:25But you'll see there are many many different language options. Click on translate. I can choose from our uh
408. 1:05:32numerous AI voices or you can clone your own voice. Click on start and same process. Just rejoin your meeting as your
409. 1:05:41avatar and click on join now. Hi. Hi.
410. 1:06:02Thank you so much for watching. Um, Zoom meetings are never going to be the same. Nothing's going to ever be the
411. 1:06:08same. I mean, this is this is the thing where it's it's just like you're going to be in a Zoom meeting. Someone's going to show up as a
412. 1:06:19cartoon. Someone's going to show up as a [ __ ] cat. It's all going to be in real time. Someone's going to show up as
413. 1:06:25themselves, but they're actually sitting there in their underwear, but they look like they're wearing a suit. You're going to be talking to
414. 1:06:34entities that are indistinguishable from humans. This is where we talked earlier about world ID and why I think it's important.
415. 1:06:43This is the technology where the boundaries none of these individual technologies I think are all that relevant. Like this is the first one
416. 1:06:53that I've seen. I've been waiting for this for a year and a half, two years is a real time, you know, voice
417. 1:07:01swapping a, you know, avatar swapping technology. This is the first one I've seen that actually does it.
418. 1:07:08Is it any good? I don't know. I tried playing with it today. It was very janky. It looks like that app that he's
419. 1:07:13using is a Windowsbased app. So, I'm on a Mac, so I probably can't do it. But this technology, specific technology, is
420. 1:07:24irrelevant. What we know is this is here today in some form. So, I just go a year in the future, two years in the future.
421. 1:07:36This stuff is going to be seamless and professional and indistinguishable from what we experience when we're talking to each
422. 1:07:45other today. What are the implications of that? I don't know. That real time translation that he just showed is insane.
423. 1:07:55He starts talking in English and in real time it lowers his voice, has him start speaking in Chinese and reyncs his lips
424. 1:08:03to the new words in real time. It's insan It's insanity. It's insanity. It's insanity, I tell you. All right, let me go back. I know Brandon
425. 1:08:18showed me another a Gemini Live thing. Do I want to do that now? Hi, my name is Eugene. And now let me let me just pause
426. 1:08:24for a second. Let me go back to see if anyone has questions, thoughts because we're we're in sort of deep
427. 1:08:29philosophical waters here, which you know this this whole [ __ ] thing. I don't know if you're still here. I think
428. 1:08:34it might have been it might have been um the cool doul or whatever the hell your name is. Um that that asked, you
429. 1:08:42know, what's the most important thing I learned in the past 30 days? It it's that it's that we're not
430. 1:08:48ready. It's that we're not ready. So, so I feel like we're in deep waters here. So, we should we should keep it up. All
431. 1:08:56right, I need to jump out, guys. Have a great weekend. Steo, thanks, man. Thanks as always for hanging out. Appreciate
432. 1:09:03you. We've got I don't know if you knew this, but the the AI learning lab is an international affair. We got people from
433. 1:09:10all over the world. So, welcome. Even people from Canada. We let we let Canadians in here just like they're Americans because you
434. 1:09:24know Joker, am I late? No, you're right on time. Uh, it would be awesome to run a webinar worldwide. Everyone could log
435. 1:09:32into the version in their own language. Yeah, exactly. the the the accessibility that AI is going to provide for people who can't speak, for
436. 1:09:45people who don't speak the same languages, for people, you know, imagine, carry this thing out five years. Imagine a translation
437. 1:10:02service that's not translating languages, but it's translating domain expertise or intellectual differences.
438. 1:10:12So you could have a PhD level super genius talking to an outof work actor like me and we could be having a conversation
439. 1:10:22and in real time it's dumbing down the PhD speak so I can understand it and it's leveling up the I don't know acting
440. 1:10:32humanity [ __ ] I'm talking about to way he can do it like that kind of translation is is very well within in
441. 1:10:42reach within two, three, four, five years. Someone's got to create that program, but like the technologies there to be able to do
442. 1:10:52that. That was Hey GenE, by the way. Wait, not this one Kyle just showcased. What was Hey Jen, but is the Chinese sentence
443. 1:11:03structure true to form? When I translated English to Mandarin, a friend told me the Mandarin sentence structure
444. 1:11:09was not correct. It was a word for word translation. Yeah. I listen I don't know again I am less interested right now in
445. 1:11:19are these things right today? No. These things are janky pieces of [ __ ] We talk about this all the time on this channel. Embrace the
446. 1:11:28jank. Just because these things don't do perfect translations. Just because they don't sync everything up correctly. just
447. 1:11:35because you got pretzel hands on your images. Keep playing, keep exploring with what these tools are because
448. 1:11:46assume two years from now it's not going to be like that. If you can get your head around what these tools make
449. 1:11:54possible today and where the boundaries are, when the new stuff shows up, you're going to know exactly what to do with
450. 1:12:02it. That's that's the [ __ ] trick. Be in the conversation. That's what these lives are about. YouTube, I'm a part of
451. 1:12:13a book club in She Leads AI. We are reading The Empire of AI where it discusses the stuff that can go wrong. I
452. 1:12:22wonder when anyone can find the stuff that can go wrong before others can. I don't know. I mean there's I I
453. 1:12:32heard a stat today. I don't This was some Tik Tok channel. Oh, it was Nate B. Jones. Nate B. Jones today said the the
454. 1:12:40numbers of people using generative AI right now is north of a billion. There are a billion people. I
455. 1:12:48think Open AAI right now has 700 million active users. 700 million. And then if you take the other platforms, there's
456. 1:12:57more than a billion people using generative AI. That's a pretty big test group, right? So in those billion, they're
457. 1:13:06going to find the [ __ ] that breaks. So um but we're going to like everything's changing too fast. Like like we're going
458. 1:13:15to find something that breaks today. We're going to fix it and then some new technology is going to come along and
459. 1:13:19that's going to break something else. Just going to keep breaking things, breaking things, breaking things, breaking things.
460. 1:13:25Companies are going to have to adapt. Humans are going to have to adapt. We're going to have to The more the more rigid you are right
461. 1:13:34now, the tougher this game's going to be, the more adaptable you are right now, the easier this game's going to be.
462. 1:13:42But it is not going to be easy for anyone because constant adaptation. Like imagine if you think about our evolution, we evolve traits over
463. 1:13:57thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of years. Imagine an environment where you
464. 1:14:05just start to understand how the world works and it completely changes and then a month later it completely changes again and then a
465. 1:14:14month later it completely changes again. That's what we're entering right now. We're in no way prepared. We We are not
466. 1:14:22evolutionarily prepared for that level of adaptation. So if you're a super rigid person that that thrives on predictability, start
467. 1:14:35practicing not that. If you're a person who's really into dynamic living and you're you love adapting, well, get ready because it's coming
468. 1:14:49faster than even you're prepared for, I think. Ah, yes. Rant squirrel, what did I miss? Or what did I
469. 1:14:59not finish? So, hey, hey, Kyle. Um, so, so I've got I've got a um another Tik Tok post here queued up. Um, but it's
470. 1:15:08going to send you down a rabbit hole, I feel like. So, my question for you that I was starting to type into the sticky
471. 1:15:12note is, do we want to watch the Gemini video first or later? No, I don't want to do it now because it's Yeah, I don't want to interrupt the
472. 1:15:23I don't want to interrupt where this conversation is because I'm digging where this conversation is. So, if the
473. 1:15:28if the Tik Tok thing's in the neighborhood of this conversation, I want to go there. Uh, well, it's it's
474. 1:15:34not, but it's a topic near and dear to your heart. So, we've pinned it for your Where's it pinned? Kyle wrangling 101. Yeah, good
475. 1:15:48luck. Any thoughts on these get-richqu using AI courses I keep seeing in social media? Yes, many thoughts. You can make money with
476. 1:15:58those [ __ ] courses. Those courses are so annoying and so [ __ ] wrong that I made a gold button mocking them. You can make money with
477. 1:16:10and and where did I get that voice? From those [ __ ] You can make money with chat. [ __ ] [ __ ] Here's the deal. You want to
478. 1:16:21know how to make money with chat GPT? I'll give you the secret. The secret to making money with Chat GPT. And this is in every one of those
479. 1:16:37courses is the exact same way you make money with Photoshop and the exact same way you make money with Microsoft Word and the
480. 1:16:46exact same way you make money with a [ __ ] shovel. You don't make money with Chat GPT. You don't you don't make money with a shovel.
481. 1:17:00You make money because someone needs a hole and you use your shovel to dig it in a way that's better than the other
482. 1:17:08people digging holes. You make money by solving people's problems. Every one of those [ __ ] courses is just some sort of [ __ ]
483. 1:17:23process that says identify a problem, learn the tools well enough to solve that problem, and go sell that
484. 1:17:30[ __ ] The tool that you use to solve the problem is swappable with every other [ __ ] tool. Now, is Chat GPT more
485. 1:17:40powerful and and more efficient and an amplifier and, you know, more magical than Photoshop? Sure. But it's the exact same thing.
486. 1:17:51Anyway, rant done. You can make money with Chad GBT. You can make money with [ __ ] [ __ ] sleazy people.
487. 1:18:00And you want to know why I resent them so much? because I don't have the balls to do that. You put together a slick little
488. 1:18:16thing if you just give me $4.99 and they can sleep at night. I can't and I'm jealous of it. So yeah, [ __ ] them.
489. 1:18:28Anyway, with a big pink bow. Exactly. This is This is This is every one of those courses. Hey. Hey. Did you know
490. 1:18:36there's a new thing out called Cha Pat? Do you know how to make money with Cha? Just give me money and I'll tell you how
491. 1:18:42to make money with Cha Pat. Like, don't they I I don't think you can wash that slime off. [ __ ] makes me disgusting. I I
492. 1:18:58don't know if any of them are making money, but they're they're making more money than I am. All right. He'll give you the secret
493. 1:19:04if he gets 10 10,000 likes. Plus, he'll do it in a manini. Exactly. All right. Where where is the the Tik Tok video you wanted me to show?
494. 1:19:17It's a DM. Where on hex? Really? I don't see it. Okay. So, just to set the stage, um this
495. 1:19:31is Gemini. If you go to Gemini, uh the Google Gemini app, um it's their latest post from six hours ago. This is a demo
496. 1:19:39that we saw at Google IO. That's it. Um and this is uh demoing the new Gemini Live where you can talk with Gemini in
497. 1:19:48voice mode and share your video live at the same time. Yeah. So, this is similar to to the chat GBT one. Is it is it
498. 1:19:56marketkedly different than the chat GBT1 or is it in the same neighborhood? Um, I like it better and you'll see why in
499. 1:20:04this demo if you listen on. All right. And actually, you know what, Brandon? I I like this because this this also
500. 1:20:13starts to get into this place where the boundary between sort of human and machine gets weird and blurry. So, so
501. 1:20:19let's let's watch this. Am I am I sharing my audio right now? What the hell just happened? Yes,
502. 1:20:35that's a pretty nice convertible. I think you might have mistaken the garbage truck for a convertible. Is
503. 1:20:41there anything else I can help you with? What's this skinny building doing in my neighborhood? It's a street light, not a
504. 1:20:47building. Why are these palm trees so short? I'm worried about them. They're not short. They're actually pretty tall.
505. 1:20:55Sick convertible. Garbage truck again. Anything else? Why do people keep delivering packages to my lawn? It's not
506. 1:21:04a package. It's a utility box. Why is this person following me wherever I walk? No one's following you. That's just your shadow.
507. 1:21:15Yeah. Yeah, that's that's really good. Um Yeah. Th this is another really good example of
508. 1:21:31um we're going to get very dependent on these on on these devices, on these models, on these relationships, right? Imagine having a
509. 1:21:43tool like this and and so right now you're having to hold a phone. I think that the that the device that Johnny
510. 1:21:51Ives and Sam Alman are baking up is probably some sort of wearable pendant. I don't know how it's different than the
511. 1:21:57humane pin which was a big flop. But whether it's meta glasses with cameras in them or whether it's your
512. 1:22:07phone or whether it's something that you wear, you're going to have a companion. So, just like, you know, there are many of us on this call
513. 1:22:16that are old enough to remember that if you wanted to go somewhere, you would buy three different maps. You would buy
514. 1:22:23the map for the state of Pennsylvania, then you would buy the map for the Midwest from, you know, Ohio to to
515. 1:22:33Minnesota, and then you would buy the map for the Dakotas to Colorado, right? If you wanted to go across the country,
516. 1:22:40you would open up these maps and you would highlight the route you're going to take and then people would actually have to pay attention to
517. 1:22:48[ __ ] Well, we don't. That doesn't exist anymore. Young people don't even know what the [ __ ] that is. Yeah. AAA trip tick.
518. 1:22:55Exactly. And now we just you just punch in an address on Google and it just says turn left here, turn right there, and it
519. 1:23:01just tells you. And we just take that for granted. And now we're gonna have these things that are just going to be like,
520. 1:23:07you're gonna be out walking your dog and this thing will go like, you know, that person across the street is suspicious.
521. 1:23:13They've been there three days in a row and I've never seen them before. Right? Like like [ __ ] like that's going to start happening. Like
522. 1:23:21this thing was kind of the woman was purposefully trying to [ __ ] with her and she was correcting her. No, no, that's
523. 1:23:29that's a garbage truck. No, that's those trees look tall. Combine that with memory. Combine that with th this voice that's so human it's
524. 1:23:43indistinguishable. Someone who's not sophisticated with technology. Th this is a very intuitive interface. You just point it at [ __ ] and
525. 1:23:50it just does stuff for you. Now right now you got to launch the app. You got to hold the phone up. But you know, imagine you've got
526. 1:23:59glasses that are just doing this all the time. And you know they're doing bone conduction audio just kind of guiding your
527. 1:24:07life. It seems weird now but it ain't going to be. Tik Tok pin. Yeah, it kind of sounded annoyed. I was thinking that like I mean so like
528. 1:24:18think about this from a creative standpoint. I love like nasty cynical comics, right? I love Tom Seagura and I
529. 1:24:28like Doug Stanh Hope and I like I like these people that are really intelligent and just [ __ ] you know, don't let let you off the
530. 1:24:37hook. Other people hate that. They want Jim Gaffigan, right? Other people don't want [ __ ] comedy. They want they want
531. 1:24:44a a tour guide. Just tell me the facts. Just tell me how to get there. We're going to we're going to be able to
532. 1:24:50choose the different personalities that we interact with. And so I could probably at some point if he licenses
533. 1:24:57his likeness, I could probably have Tom Sigura be my dude, right? Where I'm out going, "Hey, nice convertible." He's like, "Ah,
534. 1:25:06listen. You have Bill Burr. Bill Burr is my thing. Hey, you [ __ ] [ __ ] What are you What are you [ __ ] doing?
535. 1:25:12That's a [ __ ] garbage truck. You [ __ ] [ __ ] That would make me That would make me infinitely happy, right? And
536. 1:25:22someone else may choose someone that's just positive and supportive all the time. And where does it cross the boundary to being
537. 1:25:33sentient? That thing was pretty [ __ ] sentient. I mean, let's watch it again. Like, like, is this thing sentient? I Is it?
538. 1:25:45That's a pretty nice convertible. I think you might have mistaken the garbage truck for a convertible. Is
539. 1:25:51there anything else I can help you with? What's this skinny building doing in my neighborhood? It's a street light, not a
540. 1:25:57building. It's a street light, not a building, you stupid [Laughter] twit. I mean, the the distance between someone perceiving that as
541. 1:26:10sentient and not is, you know, pretty [ __ ] close. If this thing now also remembers every conversation we've ever
542. 1:26:18had and remembers everything it's looked at and can pattern match and can support us. How's that different than a really
543. 1:26:28good assistant? I don't know that it is technically it's very different. It's calculator but perception wise it's what it is. Anyway,
544. 1:26:45[Music] Yeah. So, exciting exciting exciting news. There's there's a couple of things I want to talk about. One is I love doing these lives
545. 1:27:01and these lives are um the way that I stay connected with AI. I stay connected with this community. Um, they're fun, they're irreverent, I
546. 1:27:14cuss a little bit, I'm a little saucy, I make stupid voices, I make stupid jokes. There's another side of me that I
547. 1:27:23take this knowledge and I apply it to businesses that I work with and I apply it to Storyvine and I apply it to things
548. 1:27:29that I do in the world. That's a very different experience than than what this is. So, so one thing I want to talk about
549. 1:27:38is if you're looking for or if you know people that are looking for someone that can take the long view of something
550. 1:27:46that's rooted in understanding actually what's happening with AI, let me know. I'm happy to talk to people. It's not
551. 1:27:53always this goofy, you know, sort of pink bow wearing um town fool that I play here. Like there's a very specific reason that I
552. 1:28:05behave this way here. I think it's important that everyone understands that this stuff is accessible to
553. 1:28:17everyone. And no matter how stupid you feel, the fact that you're paying attention to it at all, you're way ahead
554. 1:28:24of everyone else. So that's the purpose of this. But there's a different level that I do when I'm doing business kind
555. 1:28:33of stuff. That same philosophy. So the AI salon, if you could pop up the the URL URL for the AI salon, Brandon, if you go to the salon.ai AI
556. 1:28:43and you say join our community. The AI salon is this remarkable remarkable community of AI optimists and creators
557. 1:28:54and um filmmakers and entrepreneurs and just individuals trying to figure this stuff out that are generous and support
558. 1:29:03one another and do this and and kind of the whole premise of the salon is that everyone's welcome. the the the core
559. 1:29:11criteria for the AI salon is be curious about AI. You might be scared about it. You might be pissed off about it. You
560. 1:29:18might be feel like you're just completely out of the loop with it. But if you're curious about it, this is a
561. 1:29:26community for you. This weekend, starting Sunday on June 1st, we're launching what we're calling the AI Salon Mastermind, which is a
562. 1:29:35subscription, a paid level for people that want to step up their game. And so within it, you'll have access to the
563. 1:29:44clubs and hubs that are that are part of the salon, and you'll have access to a smaller, more committed group of people
564. 1:29:52that are sort of taking their their AI to the next level. So, just like there there's a version of of me that is this
565. 1:29:59show that's this irreverent, fun, light-hearted thing. There's also this more serious like you want to transform
566. 1:30:06your [ __ ] business, I can help you do that. That's that's what we're doing with the salon. So, that launches on
567. 1:30:13Sunday. Um, so there'll be a page there that that says how you join it. Um, and I'm super excited about it and people
568. 1:30:20are excited about it, right? people within the community because what's happened is the community's been around
569. 1:30:25for two and a half years and like any community, you've got lurkers and you've got people that check in occasionally
570. 1:30:32and then you've got like you've got the explicit leaders of the community, right? People that step up and say, "I'm
571. 1:30:38going to volunteer and I'm going to do this and I'm going to do that." And then you've got the implicit leaders of the
572. 1:30:43community. These are people that show up a lot and they contribute a lot and they are generous and they're welcoming and
573. 1:30:50they're they're proactive. The AI mastermind is this is an ability for those people to get together and really
574. 1:30:57[ __ ] take it to the next level. So, I'm super excited about it. I hope you join. If you're not part of the AI
575. 1:31:04salon, like the AI salon is going to be free forever. If you want to step your [ __ ] up, join the AI mastermind, right? If if
576. 1:31:13if you think that what I you know do here is worthwhile contributing in the world then let me know because I do this
577. 1:31:20for businesses as well on a very different level. It's a very different experience. All right. So yeah, Tom
578. 1:31:27Nodler, count me in. Yeah. Damn it. Oh, and by the way, if you're an irregular, and I know a lot of people here are, we've got 65
579. 1:31:39people in Tik Tok, 37 people over on the YouTube and the X's and the LinkedIns, wherever the hell you are over there.
580. 1:31:46If you don't know the term irregular, well, I know you know the the word irregular, but there is a group of
581. 1:31:53people who for reasons un I I I cannot figure it out show up to this these lives night after night after night
582. 1:32:04after night. And I appropriately very early on declared, "You guys are a bunch of weirdos." I think that was appropriate.
583. 1:32:15I think that was an appropriate label. And Serena, Amelio's wife, jumped immediately. The immediate response from
584. 1:32:25from Serena was, "We're not weird. We're irregular." Which just cracked me the [ __ ] up. It is the best name. It, you
585. 1:32:33know, we tend to be some Gen Xers and a couple of even boomers in here. Um, so I think irregular plays on multiple
586. 1:32:40levels. Bring the I'll bring the Mocks. Oh my god. I'll bring the Metamucil. I'll bring the Mocks. I got the
587. 1:32:56nachos. Um, the irregulars are a remarkable a remarkable community of people that, you know, we have fun in here, but but like
588. 1:33:09I said before where, you know, I'm a certain me here. there's a different version of me that shows up for
589. 1:33:14businesses. The irregulars are a fun bunch. I would argue that the irregulars, the people that come to this
590. 1:33:20show on a regular basis are probably some of the most tapped in, smart, educated about generative AI
591. 1:33:29people that really understand what these tools make possible and what the future of work might look like in the
592. 1:33:38world because they're in this [ __ ] conversation night after night after night. So Vicki tonight, she sent me a DM on
593. 1:33:47Mighty Networks and you know, we're getting ready to launch the mastermind and and she's like, "Hey, I had an idea.
594. 1:33:52What about an irregular's badge?" So if you're an irregular and you know who you are, um Vicki, how are we going to have
595. 1:34:00them I know Vickiy's like, "Kyle, could you get to the [ __ ] point, please? The badges, please." So we're creating
596. 1:34:06irregulars badges for Mighty Networks. So, if you're an irregular, how should they reach out to you, Vicki? Should
597. 1:34:13they like comment in the irregular's channel? Read the screen. Which [Laughter] screen can
598. 1:34:28talk? Oh, can I talk? Yeah, bring Vicki up. Vicki, wait. No, don't reach out to me. Wait, don't reach out to Vicki. Don't
599. 1:34:41reach out to Vicki. YouTube pin. Oh, YouTube pin. Vicki. Okay. If you're already an irregular, leave and rejoin. H. Okay. If
600. 1:34:52you're already an irregular, leave and rejoin the space and then you'll get your badge. Okay. Beautiful. All right.
601. 1:35:00So, irregulars, we get little badges in the mighty networks. And I haven't seen it yet, but you know, I
602. 1:35:09hope there's a turtle on it. We talked about a turtle, so I'm guessing there's a turtle. You'll get a confetti shower,
603. 1:35:16too. That's awesome. Great. YouTube pin. All right. See YouTube for a regular badge info in the salon. See YouTube. Okay, got it. Yeah,
604. 1:35:25perfect. You have one, Kyle. Do I? Oh, that's awesome. [Music] How do I find my badge? Do I go to my
605. 1:35:41[Music] [Music] name? Tabs. Oh, tabs. Yeah, tabs. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
606. 1:36:05[Music] Oh, badges. It's a turtle. Look. Was the best AI learning lab. Irregular with a little turtle. Come on. Are you kidding
607. 1:36:22me? Jim Ross. It starts with a badge. It ends with an irregular tattoo. So, so first of all, what you should do,
608. 1:36:34you should you should you should acknowledge Vicki. You should thank Vicki. So, how do you do that in here?
609. 1:36:40You you click on someone's account. So, if I go Vicki and I find her and then don't can I shout her out from in here? Recognize.
610. 1:36:55Okay. So there's Vicki, right? So here's how you do this. You go find Vicki. You click on her thing. Then you click
611. 1:37:03recognize. And these are the these are the five values of the AI salon, which if you don't know, if you haven't been
612. 1:37:08to the AI salon, our values are [ __ ] cool. So these values came out of how people in the salon behave. And so we
613. 1:37:16just basically named it. They're curious, they're playful, they're empathetic, they're generous, and they're brave. They just put stuff out
614. 1:37:25there. So, I am going to say Vicki is incredible. Exclamation point. I'm going to say she's curious. She's playful. Oh,
615. 1:37:37I can only do one. Okay, which one? I'm going to go generous. She's been putting in a ton of time. I'm going to go
616. 1:37:45generous. She's empathetic. She's playful. She's She's all of these, but we're going to give her cur. We're going
617. 1:37:51to give her generosity. All right. Beautiful. So, go recognize Vicki because she works her ass off for this
618. 1:37:59community. And now there's the regular badges. Uh oh. Leah's wait list for the mastermind is pinned to the screen. Where? Oh,
619. 1:38:15beautiful. Yeah, if you go Let's see. Can I get there from here? No, I can't. No. No. Perfect. Hang
620. 1:38:34[Music] on. So, if you want to sign up for the weight list, I mean, this thing goes live Sunday, but if you want to go live
621. 1:38:45for the weight list, go to that URL on screen and that'll take you to a weight list. still give you pricing
622. 1:38:52information. By the way, we're we're doing this for all of 2025. The mastermind level of the salon is 1999.
623. 1:39:03It's 20 bucks. Um it's going to go up in 2026, but we wanted to do founding members because like we've, you know,
624. 1:39:11there's 3,000 people within the community. We wanted to make it as easy as possible for people that want to kind
625. 1:39:17of step into this new level and and kind of up their game. Uh we wanted to make it as easy as possible. So So there's
626. 1:39:24the pricing. There's the info. All right. So if you're interested, go sign up there. And then Sunday, the [ __ ] goes

628. 1:39:47Oh, and okay, there you go. Yep. 20 bucks a month. Which I think is a screaming deal because if you think about the the the
629. 1:39:58club area of the salon like that, those whole areas are effectively, you know, multiple masterminds. and and you know,
630. 1:40:05we're going to start doing things like we're going to be doing more events within the AI salon. Leah and I are
631. 1:40:11going to host events. Um, you know, club members are going to host events, things like that. Um, and we're going to take a
632. 1:40:19lot of the the educational materials, formalize that. This is what this is going to allow us to do is kind of take
633. 1:40:25the salon to the next level um and make it more valuable, you know, by people sort of stepping up to to kind of a
634. 1:40:32different level of commitment which which is super cool. Um lock in lock in that right rate now for a lifetime. That's the other thing.
635. 1:40:42If you join as a founding member of the salon of of the salon mastermind, um you get that rate for a lifetime so long as
636. 1:40:49you don't let your subscription lapse. So, there you have it. All right. Fantastic badges. We do need some
637. 1:40:58stinking badges. Exactly. Uh oh, my computer's dinging. I think people are out there recognizing Vicki for her
638. 1:41:06awesome contributions to the salon, which is [ __ ] cool. Um, beautiful. All right. Thank you all. Oh, good.
639. 1:41:13Yeah. Oh, yeah. Tik Tok is giving some kudos to the Vicki. Vicki works her ass off for this community. And I know,
640. 1:41:20listen, I know there's a bunch of you mod over here on Tik Tok, which is the lost art of modding on Tik Tok. So,
641. 1:41:28thank you to all of you that do that and for, frankly, everyone that shows up for this thing night after night. Um, weekend
642. 1:41:36homework. Boy, I don't know what to say for this weekend. I feel like um like a lot of the stuff that we talked about
643. 1:42:00tonight. I'll give you some homework for the weekend. I think some homework for the weekend is for you to really think about
644. 1:42:15If you could do anything, if skills and education and access were suddenly not barriers for
645. 1:42:32you, what would you do? Is there something that you've always wanted to do, but you tell yourself, "Yeah, but I can't. I'm not
646. 1:42:45talented enough. I'm not I'm not educated. I don't have a degree." All those limitations are about to be wiped off the planet.
647. 1:42:59And so if you were given the gift of you could do anything. But I can't raise money for a company. Well, what if you had the
648. 1:43:10equivalent of a thousand PhD level employees that would do anything you wanted them to do? Oh, I don't
649. 1:43:21know. Think about that. I think that's the the homework this weekend is really think about like make it an introspective
650. 1:43:31weekend. Like imagine like that that little, you know, demo that we showed of of Gemini Live where the person's
651. 1:43:37walking down the street and the the woman's correcting her. Imagine if you had like someone at your side all the
652. 1:43:44time that could just help you do all the [ __ ] you want to do. What is what is increasingly uninteresting to me is which tool to
653. 1:43:56use. What is increasingly interesting to me is what do you choose to do? If you were given kind of insane levels of resources
654. 1:44:09and insane levels of skill and insane levels of knowledge, how would you apply it? And if you haven't thought about
655. 1:44:16that before, do that this weekend. All right. Next Tuesday from 5 to 7 Mountain time, if you go to the AI salon, go to the events
656. 1:44:29calendar and RSVP right now. Go do it right now. Go to the events calendar and RSVP for next Tuesday's meeting. We've got
657. 1:44:38Danny Kravitz who who teaches at Columbia University in Chicago. He teaches creativity. He teaches screenwriting. And he's going to come
658. 1:44:48talk about creativity and self-expression and the importance of it and how you do it, how you do it well and how you do it with AI. Um, I'm
659. 1:44:57really excited to have Danny here. He and I, Brandon introduced me to Danny and um, our conversations are always
660. 1:45:04like a mind meld where we we have very similar kinds of ways of thinking. All right. All right. Is the mastermind
661. 1:45:14going live on YouTube or directly on the salon? The the mastermind is really just a a kind of a private area of the salon
662. 1:45:22where people can sort of build deeper relationships. Within that area, we're likely going to be doing live sessions
663. 1:45:28and and events and things like that that'll be exclusive to that area. Um, so the mastermind isn't a show. It's
664. 1:45:36it's it's an access area within the community. It's sort of a a higher a level of commitment higher like part
665. 1:45:44part of the reason that that we wanted to do this is that there are a lot of people within the salon that are already
666. 1:45:49leveling up and there's not necessarily a place for them to go where they can really connect and sort of start
667. 1:45:55collaborating together and you know in a much noisier environment there's just there's a lot of distraction and so this
668. 1:46:02is just a more focused area of the of the salon. So that's what it's about. All right. Um, Tik Tok pan. Um, the same
669. 1:46:11thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world. Exactly. So, let's go take over the world. Listen, thank you for everything
670. 1:46:21you do. Thanks for showing up for this thing. I really appreciate it. Friday night date night's where it's at. I'll
671. 1:46:27finish up my watered down tequila here. How can I get there? Um, it'll just be there. um Sunday and there's if
672. 1:46:40you can pin that comment again for Mr. IT for the sign up form. There's the wait list for the mastermind. So go go there and you
673. 1:46:55can sign you can sign up for to show interest. What would you do Kyle if what? What would I do if what?
674. 1:47:12All right. So, your weekend homework is No, no, no. They they're asking you what you would do. They're asking you to
675. 1:47:18answer your question for the weekend homework. Oh, now what would you do, you know, other than hang out with us for 10 hours a week?
676. 1:47:29Well, I mean, listen, part of I'm I'm doing part of what I would do, right? I think for
677. 1:47:44me, the the thing I I would do if I could if I could do anything is I would get much better at
678. 1:48:02having a a strategic a strategic framing for all this energy I put into this work. What I did two and a half years ago or
679. 1:48:14you know two years ago in April when I started doing these lives is I made a commitment to show up and I've showed up right and it's
680. 1:48:24made a difference for me it's made a difference for the irregulars. It's made a difference for a lot of people that
681. 1:48:28have kind of passed through these lives but there wasn't much beyond that. I didn't really think about, well, what impact do I want to
682. 1:48:41have? How do I want to change people's lives? We've got, you know, 53 people in here. We had 65 earlier. The reason we don't have a
683. 1:48:51thousand people in here tonight or 10,000 people in here tonight, I think, is that I didn't really apply any strategic direction to this
684. 1:49:03energy, right? I wasn't clear about what do I want to accomplish. And so I think what I would do if I could do anything
685. 1:49:10is I would take those areas that I'm weak self-promotion. I'm really shitty at it. I'm self-conscious about it. I
686. 1:49:18don't want to do it. I don't want to seem like I'm salesy and sleazy to the detriment of myself. So I think I'd get better at
687. 1:49:26that. I think I'd get better at, okay, we've got a community of people that show up here night after night after
688. 1:49:32night. Like what are we doing for them? How are we allowing them to level up? What are we, you know, like if if I
689. 1:49:38could sort of take this thing to the next level, you know, the rising boat, the rising tide raises all boats, right?
690. 1:49:46Like that's missing right now from my from my energy output is an intentionality to it. And so I think that's what I would do because I love
691. 1:49:57doing this. I love being in this conversation. I love inspiring people. I love being able to articulate what the
692. 1:50:04[ __ ] is going on and what the [ __ ] is coming to the best of any of our ability and yet it's a little nebulous and soft and
693. 1:50:16flaky and weird and so I would tighten that [ __ ] up and you know improve things for everyone. So, I think that's what I
694. 1:50:25would do. And then on top of that, you know, do things like produce my musical and, you know, um, write some more books and do some
695. 1:50:36more shows and do keynote speaking and do a lot more. Like, I'm really serious when I talk about, you know, there
696. 1:50:42there's sort of the version of me that here and there's the version of me that shows up for business. Like, I want to
697. 1:50:47do more business impact stuff. So, if you know people that need to talk to someone, I've got I don't know if you
698. 1:50:54know this. If you go to my Tik Tok profile, I've got a link there where I've got four hours dedicated every
699. 1:51:03Saturday where people can spend an hour with me personally, either as a small team or as an individual. That's a very different
700. 1:51:11experience than this is. Like, I don't think a lot of people know about that. Why? Because I don't talk about it. And I want to do that for
701. 1:51:19businesses, too. So, if you know people, introduce me. All right. Tik Tok is loving me in the comments. Oh, thank you very much.
702. 1:51:26Cam Cat, can you inspire me, Kyle? You guys all inspire me, man. It's It really is. You totally rock, dude. Thank you.
703. 1:51:37Yeah, I love the same, Kyle. I'd like to work in this, but I I need to work morning, noon, and night. Yeah, I know.
704. 1:51:43I get it. I totally get it. Um, thank you for the kind words. Um, yeah. So, all right, beautiful. Have a fantastic
705. 1:51:55weekend. Spend this weekend thinking about the difference you want to make in the world. And it doesn't have to be be
706. 1:52:01[ __ ] huge, right? Doesn't have to be solve world hunger, cure this disease. It could be like I want to get my friends, you know,
707. 1:52:12educated about AI. It could be like I want to start a new business or I want to help people start businesses. Like
708. 1:52:17just think about the thing that you're passionate about. I would also encourage you to think deeply about what is the
709. 1:52:24[ __ ] that you've told yourself you can't do for whatever reason. Oh, I can't do that. I'm not good at music. Oh, I can't
710. 1:52:34do that. I'm not talented. Oh, I can't do that. I didn't go to the right school. I would say swim around in and maybe
711. 1:52:41even have a conversation with with chatbt advanced voice. I want you to help me discover my what I would do, my why, my
712. 1:52:52passion, and have it probe you about the things that you've shut down in yourself. and maybe come back Monday with a sense of
713. 1:53:02that because I think that as you have that you'll you'll look at AI in a very different way. If if AI is is a runway to take off
714. 1:53:18in that vision and AI is the runway, it's a very different thing than just which tool do I use? How do I, you know, how do I make money,
715. 1:53:29right? That's a stupid [ __ ] question. The money will come if you do the other thing. And you do it in a focused and
716. 1:53:39strategic way, which I'm not right now. Right. That's that's my work. All right. Vickiy's computer is dinging because
717. 1:53:46everyone keep acknowledging her, which is great. All right, Rick McCaulay. Here's to the crazy ones. the ones that don't
718. 1:53:53know how that don't know they can't change the world and they're the ones who do. You're a crazy one. Thank you,
719. 1:53:58Rick. I appreciate that. Likewise. Right back right back at you, buddy. Okay, cool. Um, beautiful. Yes, sir. Hey,
720. 1:54:05Kyle. Um, one last thing before we leave because we're feeling philosophical on a Friday night and you said something a
721. 1:54:10little while back. You said you don't have to change the world. And it reminded me of a quote that if you ch if
722. 1:54:17you help one person you you're not changing the world but for that one person you change their world. Yeah. And
723. 1:54:25so I want to share and I butchered the heck out of that quote but it's okay. Um we perfect here. We're janky. We embrace the jank.
724. 1:54:35Um the uh I wanted to share um on the uh last day of school um we have a bus driver for my daughter. She's in uh
725. 1:54:47going into second grade now and she uh has had the same bus driver every day. He has not missed a day and we really
726. 1:54:55wanted to recognize him. We gave him a gift but we wanted to do something a little bit more personal. And so, um, we
727. 1:55:04took a picture of him like waving to her and I took it into chat GPT and I converted it into a, uh, which where are
728. 1:55:14we? What's the wrong tab? Um, uh, converted into a coloring page. I had my daughter color it. And we g we
729. 1:55:24presented that to him on the last day of school a picture of him driving the bus. Oh my god, that's amazing. And I'll tell
730. 1:55:34you that that guy's probably driven a bus for a while. I've never seen a bus driver get mistied. Um he really he like he paused.
731. 1:55:43There was a moment where he just paused and like the recognition like kind of emotion washed over. you could see it
732. 1:55:51and it's like so when tell when people tell us that CHBT can't be creative like well it can but what we do with it and
733. 1:55:58what we do with that output and injecting the humanity back into that output I think is is where the intersection of all of this lies so
734. 1:56:10it's the perfect way to end it Brandon I mean what you're talking about the idea is everything right your imagination
735. 1:56:18your you your intent to say, "Hey, it would be nice if we could get him a box of chocolates, right?" And then you're
736. 1:56:25like, "No, could could we do something more?" And because you know these tools, you were able to to do this with that.
737. 1:56:31That's absolutely remarkable, right? And we can just do this now. But it's like it's the idea that's the thing. So that
738. 1:56:39this is the perfect example to end on. It's awesome. It's incredible. It's like it's very moving. Look at that
739. 1:56:46picture. It's amazing. Yeah. He must have been misty eyed, you know, that's [ __ ] hanging up proudly in his house right now, too. You know,
740. 1:56:56amazing. Yep. Beautiful. Awesome. Awesome. All right, everyone. You know who's a bus driver whose life you can
741. 1:57:06change? Hey, you want to know something actually really important about what Brandon did? I guarantee
742. 1:57:15you that bus driver didn't ask, "Oh, did you make this with Chad GPT?" It's irrelevant what tool was
743. 1:57:29used. Maybe Brandon's an illustrator and he drew that. Maybe he knows, maybe he hired someone to draw that. Maybe he used Chat GBT. The tool
744. 1:57:39is 100% irrelevant. The only thing relevant there is the intent and the execution which were both flawless. So next time someone says to
745. 1:57:54you it's not just you know can can AI be creative like what what's the what's the big deal with AI? That's the big deal
746. 1:58:03with AI. What Brandon just did right there. I want to do something special for this guy. Oh, I have an idea. Bang.
747. 1:58:10It's executed. That's the magic of AI. Damn it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. All right. Have a fantastic
748. 1:58:22weekend. Yeah. Rick McCully. I'm getting misty just hearing about it. Exactly. Because the idea is about humanity and
749. 1:58:34about connecting with another person. This is your homework for the weekend. How do you want to impact people? Who do you want to impact and
750. 1:58:44how? Just think about that. Ignore the tools. Ignore your capabilities. Ignore your talents. Who do you want to impact and
751. 1:58:54how? Come back Monday with some clarity on that and we'll have some [ __ ] fun. All right. Love it. Friday night date night out. I hope
752. 1:59:05you all had fun tonight. I had a blast. Thanks for the great questions. Thanks for the great engagement. All right, peace out.
