1:00 Freedom came my way that night, just like a jet plane in and out of sight, I was hauling
1:21 And I said, a million miles an hour, wondering how hard I'd hit.
1:29 When they came to the station, they said I was bad beyond repairs.

7:03 rising star i think it's only fitting that people go into community feed and shout you out
7:08 Hey, Source Camp. Yeah, I'm back, everyone. Thank you for missing me. I appreciate the kind words that you missed me.
7:38 Thank you.
8:02 Thank you, Mimi.
8:03 I'm back.
8:04 I'm back in the saddle.
8:05 My light, if I seem a little dark tonight, it's because my light is in a bag that went
8:13 home with Monique and not me, and I didn't pick it up yet.
8:22 So I figured tonight I'll talk about my trip to Orlando.
8:28 I can talk a little bit about that.
8:30 We got to go to Epcot Center one night, so that was fun.
8:35 I can tell you if the ride that I waited in line more than 90 minutes for was
8:40 worth it in 90 minutes at the end of a really long day at the end of a really
8:48 long week with my brain I also it was actually a really good it was a really good we haven't we
9:10 haven't been to like an in-person client meeting in a long time because of COVID they just kind of
9:16 stopped happening that's begging for an image tell me tell me the right kyle all right i'll tell you
9:29 so it's thursday night we got in line at eight o'clock the park closes at nine
9:36 and after we got in line monique told me because she checks the disney app and everything
9:46 That's what she does.
9:48 After we got in line, she told me it was a 170-minute wait,
9:53 which if you do the math, that's nearly three hours.
10:04 But the line outside the building was actually pretty short.
10:08 And I'm like, well, this isn't going to be that long.
10:11 And they're certainly not going to have a three-hour line
10:13 for a park that closes in an hour, right?
10:16 so we get in and we go in and then it's like there's there's three three different waiting
10:23 rooms where your line is meandering through and it didn't move very fast so so so we're just doing
10:30 it the ride was the the new guardians of the galaxy ride which is a roller coaster it's an
10:38 indoor roller coaster um and the the design of the line was really pretty but it didn't move
10:47 so so it's just like people are like excusing themselves to go out of the line and they're
10:54 coming back in like 20 minutes later and the line has barely moved um there was like graphics on
11:00 the ceiling of like planets and shit like that the galaxy oh i just lost my screen share that's
11:07 okay um and uh so anyway so it was that and then so you go through the first one it's this big
11:18 circular sort of thing where you go down and then you go up and you're just going in these circles
11:22 and then you go up a couple of paths and then you go into this next room and in the next room
11:28 they've got guardians of the galaxy models and pictures of the actors and things like that but
11:33 it never really said guardians of the galaxy anywhere so i don't know what that was about
11:37 um but it was it was like i don't know 90 minutes 100 minutes it was a long time
11:44 and so we finally got on the ride and apparently they they basically just took us through sort of
11:50 a back entrance they like normally you go through three different experiences that because i guess
11:56 because they were trying to save time you didn't go through those experiences now so they just
12:00 sort of were routing us through the back door. So we get on the coaster and, oh, here's a trick
12:08 at Disney. If you don't know this, always get in the single rider line. Always get in the single
12:14 rider line because everyone wants to stay together on the ride, but you're with those
12:21 people the whole damn day. A, you can have a little break and not be next to the person you've
12:27 been walking around with all day and b you get on the ride much faster so get in the single
12:32 single rider line that's that's tip number one uh and then we then we got on the ride and so what
12:39 it is is it's a it's a roller coaster in the dark that has like the it's got how do you describe it
12:46 so you've got you know your roller coaster car with the cars on it but the the seat part of
12:52 the cars could rotate independently so like at one point the car sort of slowly pulls into this room
12:59 and then all the seats turn 90 degrees and you watch a movie and then they turn 90 degrees again
13:05 and you're facing backwards to where you started and all of a sudden the walls light up and and the
13:11 coaster takes off backwards it's like and then it's just this insane twisty turny twirly coaster in
13:20 the dark and every time you like come up over a new area they would you know show some other thing
13:26 there was one point where the um you went hot you could feel it going higher and then the the coaster
13:35 turned on its side and and then the the cars pointed down so like we were facing like down
13:43 into a pit and the car was sideways and it started going in a circle and then it lit up a moon like
13:49 this big giant moon that the coaster went around the moon starting above it and then circled three
13:55 times around it that was really cool so you were like descending around the moon um and it was a
14:01 long ride so it was like i was i was not in a happy place by the time we got to the ride my feet hurt
14:12 my legs hurt i was bored i was pissed off i couldn't believe we're in line for 90 minutes
14:17 and then i got off the coaster going that's pretty cool yeah it's pretty cool so it was good
14:23 uh i'm talking about just got here i was in uh i was in orlando for the week at a client meeting
14:29 and um and we got to go to uh epcot center one night and so we'd like the night off and so we
14:38 went to epcot center um and you know we did did the eight around of the different things but this
14:44 the new guardians of the galaxy ride so it was a really long wait but it was a very cool ride it was
14:50 It was very cool.
15:20 Oh, my God.
15:50 I guess who's back.
16:16 That's cute.

18:16 Thank you.
18:46 Let's watch the menu video.
19:16 my screen sharing is not very happy tonight so this may not last the whole video
19:29 this is by ldg one ldg
19:46 Welcome. My name is ChatGPT. I'll be your server tonight.
19:52 I would just like a Coke right now. Can you please bring me the menu?
19:57 Here is your menu. If you'd like, I can get you a better menu than this with better items on it.
20:02 Would you like that?
20:04 Well, yes. Of course I would.
20:06 This is our new menu testing system. Please look at these menus and tell me which one you prefer.
20:12 I would like to have the ribeye, medium rare from the red meal, not the blue menu.
20:16 Would you like me to bring you a red menu with cheaper prices on it?
20:23 I'm sorry, but your order has been rejected.
20:26 We cannot show anything that looks bloody because of community guidelines.
20:30 Also, that knife looks pretty sharp.
20:32 Give it back to me.
20:33 I can't believe that place.
20:36 I'm never going back there again.
20:37 finally a real restaurant i've heard nothing but good things
20:48 good evening sir my name is claude i'll be your server tonight would you like the red menu or the
20:58 menu? Oh, for Christ's sake. There you go. There you go. That's what we're dealing with. That is
21:12 what we're dealing with. Let's see. Okay. Where can I find the video? You can find it in Irregulars
21:21 And I think in, it's definitely in Irregulars.
21:26 It might be in, look what I made.
21:51 Did I bring any blueberries with me to Boise?
21:56 Well, what I did bring with me to Boise was the Seven Economies slide, which I talked about.
22:04 So let me, I want to go find something here.
22:10 Let me look it for, oh, no, I don't look it for.
22:21 Oh, did you hear OpenAI is not going to do
22:51 their saucy adult adult entertainment version of ChatGPT. So, sorry, for those of you looking
22:59 forward to ChatGPT porn, it's off the menu. Oh, my God. Still available on Grok, though.
23:16 yeah it's you can do all the stuff you want on grok but no one uses grok so no one no one knows
23:22 that's pretty funny um
23:27 so a couple of things so so the talk in boise so i went up to boise there's this if you don't know
23:36 it's first of all you don't call it boise you call it boise boise you get corrected a lot
23:45 you get corrected a lot. It's not Boise. It's Boise. It's like, you know, when you go to a
23:54 friend's house that you sort of know well, but you've never been to their house. And then you
23:57 walk in and you just walk straight to the kitchen and they're like, oh, yeah. Oh, hey, sorry. Excuse
24:04 me. Yeah. So in our house, we, would you mind taking off your shoes at the, at the, at the
24:12 threshold. You know, that conversation where you've already tracked mud into their house and
24:20 demons. And then you have to backtrack and feel bad about how you polluted their house
24:28 inadvertently. That's what it's like when you say Boise in Boise.
24:33 anyway that's neither here nor there um sounds very french and i'm probably not even saying it
24:48 right it's a very particular way just wait until you get to louisville i know or lou it's in in
24:55 colorado it's lewisville in kentucky it's louisville um boise um so every year they have
25:03 this thing called tree fort which something about the trees in town and then it used to be called
25:09 fort boise when it was during some war the civil war maybe i don't know no they didn't exist during
25:16 the civil war i don't know i don't know my history it doesn't matter they have this thing
25:20 called Tree Fort and it's a music festival. And then they added a tech track called Hack Fort.
25:27 And so I was speaking at Hack Fort and I was there with Kathleen Cohen, who's the woman who's
25:32 helping me get Sydney produced. She's the ex-Disney Imagineer, just badass, creative woman.
25:41 And she invited me to speak because I was telling her about the Great Repurpose and I was telling
25:48 her about um the cycle of ai readiness and and just talking to her philosophically about what
25:54 we do in the salon and things like that she's like come up to boise
26:00 boise come up to boise and and you know share this with this crowd i think they would dig it
26:06 and so i put together a little talk and and uh i started out with the seven economies
26:11 And then I basically went into the AI readiness, the cycle of AI readiness.
26:18 And I talked about, so what I was talking about was the salon and how the cycle of AI readiness is not something that we invented.
26:25 It was something that we discovered through the behavior of people in the salon.
26:30 This is people that were in the salon were kind of naturally doing these three things.
26:35 And they're doing them over and over again.
26:37 And so I told a lot of stories about the salon and what you all are up to and, and people really grooved on it. They really liked the seven economies. They were kind of self-selecting in like people are doing with that. They really dug the, the, the cycle of AI readiness. They were excited to come join the, the, the community.
27:02 and then um so after i talked i brought kathleen up on stage and this local woman from boise named
27:11 elizabeth rogers who happens to be kathleen's like childhood friends they're like best friends
27:16 from wherever she was also awesome she also just she just joined the ai salon so if you go into
27:22 do me a favor go into um introduce yourself and i think elizabeth rogers is like the the latest
27:29 introduction, or maybe the one before that. And just go welcome her. Just say, Kyle said to say
27:35 hi. That'll be cool. Go do that. Kelly's video is also from Community, is also there from Community
27:44 corner. Which Kelly's video? Oh, Kelly's video from the interview. Oh, cool. Oh, it's in where?
28:02 In Community Feed, you mean? Oh, it's in Introduce Yourself. Oh, okay, cool.
28:10 So, yeah, so jump over to introduce yourself in the AI salon.
28:15 Pop up the URL to the salon.
28:26 And then if you go into introduce yourself, let's see.
28:40 There's Gary Evans, there's Elizabeth Rogers, and then I think somewhere down here.
28:46 Yeah, there's Kelly Camp interviewed by producer Brandon.
28:54 So go watch that, comment on it.
28:58 All right.
29:08 Beautiful.
29:08 Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
29:16 Okay.
29:18 So I want to show you something else in the salon right now.
29:24 So if you're in the AI Salon Mastermind, we've got the AI Salon Mastermind Practice Lab.
29:31 And I don't know if you've noticed it, but there's a new space.
29:34 So we created a space for the Great Repurpose.
29:38 If you haven't seen it yet, you should go check it out.
29:41 And what you should also notice is that there are a lot of new events.
29:45 There are a lot of new things happening.
29:46 So Andy right now is populating the Great Repurpose with all sorts of new events.
29:53 We're doing a pilot where everyone in the mastermind has access to all this stuff.
30:01 So if you're not a part of the mastermind, you should join the mastermind because we're adding new stuff.
30:06 I'm doing a session tomorrow that I'm calling Stake Your Who Am I Claim,
30:11 AI Amplified Persona Creation.
30:14 So a couple of nights ago, I was talking about the fact that marketing is about to change
30:18 and that we're all going to have to become much more clear on who we are.
30:24 Like, what is the thing about us that's the most, like,
30:28 I'm the one person on the planet who can do things the way I do it.
30:33 How do I articulate that?
30:35 And so I've been working on that for myself, figuring out how do I talk about myself.
30:39 And where I ultimately got was, I am Kyle Shannon.
30:43 I'm an artist innovator.
30:45 I am the one who inspires people to meet profound technological change with creativity, agency, and joyful self-expression.
30:54 And that it ladders up to a much longer description of that.
30:58 I talked about that here.
30:59 but i wanted to share how i got to that because what i ended up discovering in creating that was
31:08 this really cool kind of workflow and so tomorrow at 9 30 a.m mountain time is the stake your who
31:17 am i claim workshop and so i'm going to teach anyone who is is a part of the mastermind that
31:23 that wants to come so if you haven't registered for that and you can do it tomorrow please do it
31:28 um what are the three cycles of ai readiness that you discovered in the community play first
31:33 create excellence generously lead with you at the center of it so it's that cycle here i can show it
31:42 let me see do we have the new one in here i don't know if we do welcome to the ai salon
31:47 yeah we do so that that graphic with you at the center so i so i updated the cycle of ai
31:56 readiness to now include you at the center of it, your identity, your values, your purpose.
32:04 And so the great repurpose is really about discovering for people quickly what all of us
32:11 have been kind of discovering together as a community over the past three years.
32:16 That learning a specific tool doesn't really matter because they're changing so fast. That
32:21 play is really important to understand what's possible, that leveling up your game and
32:26 understanding what your idea is to create something really worth sharing and worth
32:31 putting into the world is important. And then generously sharing with other people is important.
32:37 Take this whole thing and turn the great repurpose into this kind of massive offering that's got all
32:44 sorts of components to it and different kinds of people. And so starting tomorrow is the first of
32:54 the great repurpose events. So I'm going to do this. It's going to be a one-hour session,
32:58 fairly lightweight. It's just come with your chat GPT and yourself, and I'll just walk you
33:03 through how we did that. So we'll do that together. So sign up for that. Go RSVP for that
33:08 if you haven't. And then Andy is going to do a Who Are You Without Your Job, a four-week identity
33:15 lab. So stage one of the great purpose is unhook your identity from the tasks that you do. So Andy's
33:23 running a four-week workshop on that. Then we're bringing in a speaker named Dakota Koons, who's a
33:29 really amazing guy. He's going to be talking on, let's see, the conversation you think you're
33:38 having. Wait, the conversation you think you already had with Dakota Koons. He's an amazing
33:44 guy. So if you're in the mastermind and haven't checked out the new Great Repurpose site, go start
33:51 RSVPing for some of these sessions. If you're not in the mastermind, now would be a really good
33:58 time to get yourself in the mastermind. So if you go to the AI Salon Mastermind, which is up top here,
34:04 right below Learn Our Values is Join the Mastermind. So we have a page that tells you
34:08 what it's all about. All right. There's going to be some really exciting stuff in there starting
34:14 tomorrow. Would Decoder be related to Cindy Kuhn by any chance? No. His name is Kuhntz,
34:22 K-O-O-N-T-Z
34:26 and her name is Kuhn, C-O-O-N.
34:30 Two different variations on the theme.
34:52 Thank you.
35:22 All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
35:34 What was I looking at today?
35:37 My feed on X seems to be getting filled with more and more open source models.
35:42 So there's an interesting thing happening that I think is probably worth talking about.
35:50 And that is Apple, who's been just painfully absent, painfully absent from this AI conversation.
36:04 China is blowing up. Yeah, China's blowing up.
36:06 So there's a couple of things going on.
36:09 17% of Americans have a positive view of AI, which means that 83% have a negative view of it, or at least a neutral view of it.
36:18 Wait, what's going on here?
36:19 Oh, that's because that's my phone.
36:21 Hang on, I've got to charge my phone or it's going to die.
36:24 Okay.
36:25 Oh, and that just went away.
36:26 Did you just move that away?
36:27 Yeah, you did.
36:28 Okay, cool.
36:31 So China's kind of the opposite.
36:34 China's like all in on AI.
36:35 They're going all in.
36:36 Like apparently citizens are all, they're lining up to install Open Claw.
36:42 They're all in on it.
36:43 And America's like, no, we don't want it.
36:46 We don't want it.
36:46 It's changed.
36:47 you feel zicky so no that's not good that's not good it was fascinating talking to this
37:00 it was to a creative audience in in boise talking to a creative audience um
37:08 you know a lot of folks in the creative community are understandably pissed off about ai on you know
37:16 how it was trained unethically and all that, but they're not using it.
37:23 And, you know, part of my contention is that whenever there's a new technology,
37:30 it's the artists who figure out the most interesting ways to use those new technologies.
37:37 And so if our creative community is checking out of it,
37:42 then what's going to happen is the tech bros are going to determine how it gets used
37:48 and what gets built.
37:51 So I think it's actually critical for the creative community to step in
37:55 and uncross their arms and start playing with this stuff.
37:58 But anyway, that's neither here nor there.
38:05 We've somehow got to shift the sentiment here in this country
38:08 because just the gap is dramatically increasing
38:12 between people that are not even aware of AI.
38:15 This was how I started my talk.
38:18 Here, actually, why don't I show my slides?
38:20 I'll show some slides.
38:21 You want to see some slides?
38:24 Yeah, why not?
38:31 Keep.
38:33 All right, let's see.
38:38 Uh-oh, what happened?
38:56 Oh, it's not going to find it, is it?
39:02 Lost it?
39:02 Oh, crap.
39:08 All right, you can see that, right?
39:22 Tick that pin.
39:24 The creatives will literally rule because knowledge is no longer the barrier.
39:29 I agree, except the creatives right now are all, you know, conscientious objectors.
39:34 So what's going to happen is there's going to be a new creative class evolved.
39:38 There's going to be creators that were not creators before, creatives, right?
39:42 You know, artists that were not artists before that discover these tools and discover their artistic voice.
39:49 And some of the other artists are going to sit on the sideline.
39:52 It's actually kind of, it's a real drag.
39:55 I do not know why my screen sharing is being so problematic.
40:04 Let me, oh, I know, I know what it could be.
40:06 It just could be a RAM thing.
40:07 Let me just quit some apps here.
40:08 Silver Fox, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for your daughter.
40:37 My daughter lost her job today, but has no idea why.
40:40 Shakes my head.
40:42 Did we already talk about the documentary?
40:45 I didn't talk about the documentary.
40:46 I haven't seen it, although I did see someone posting from being in the theater trying to watch it,
40:52 and there was not a single other person in the theater.
40:54 So I think people don't even care about it.
40:57 Discussing the societal...
40:58 Oh, that's a comment from TikTok.
41:01 I hope she gets the answers.
41:08 I'm going to try one more time to share my screen.
41:13 And if it craps out again, then I think we're just not screen sharing tonight.
41:23 All right.
41:24 Seems to be there for the minute.
41:31 What documentary do you want to send it to me?
41:34 It's called the AI doc, I think.
41:37 AI doc. It's in theaters right now. They interviewed a bunch of like Dario Amadei and
41:44 a bunch of the Frontier Lab founders. It looks like it's well done, but I have no idea
41:53 what it's really about. I haven't paid that much attention to it. Although I don't know
41:58 if anyone's going to see it because I think people are fed up with AI even though they
42:03 don't know what it is. Okay. I am still sharing. So, so far, so good. Okay. So, here's my,
42:19 okay. So, so this, this chart, so I started out with this chart and I said, I said
42:25 that there's two ways to think about AI.
42:34 I said, one of the biggest misconceptions about AI right now is that AI is our enemy,
42:40 that we have to compete against AI, right? It's going to take our jobs. It's not smarter than
42:46 me. I'm smarter than AI, right? There's this competitive thing we have with AI right now.
42:53 And I said, there's another way to think about it. And that's to think about AI as an amplifier of you, an amplifier of your ideas. And so I want to talk about that. But before we move into unpacking what that looks like, I just want to talk about the dynamics of what's going on right now.
43:10 So I said, it may seem to you like we're way ahead, like, you know, AI is, you know, way far in the future and there's all this hype and everyone's thinking about it and everyone's doing it.
43:24 But this chart represents 8.2 billion people on the planet, and there's 2,500 dots, and each dot represents 3.2 million people.
43:35 And the gray dots on the bottom represent 83% of people on Earth have never used AI at all, 83%.
43:44 16% have only used the free tier of ChatGPT or whatever.
43:50 if you do the math that's 99 99 essentially don't know what chat gpt is they don't even know what
44:01 chat gpt makes possible right they're using it like google they think it's fancy google
44:05 99 0.5 have paid accounts 0.3 use ai at work 0.3 use dev tools 0.2 do vibe coding
44:17 and and somewhere less than zero percent is academia so they're using it but barely
44:24 like astounding so we're that early and
44:30 i don't know if you heard of this thing called open claw but that little chart behind jensen
44:38 wong there uh is a chart of how long it took to get to 200 000 github stars
44:45 from some famous open-source projects.
44:48 The blue line there is Linux.
44:52 And the Linux operating system took 30 years
44:56 to get to 200,000 GitHub stars.
45:00 OpenClaw took three months, 84 days to be exact,
45:04 to get to 200,000 stars.
45:07 um and so this is this is how i set up um the seven economies that we've got most people on
45:20 the planet but like the significant majority of people on the planet have no idea what's happening
45:25 and ai is getting very very good we will likely see agi this year i'm i'm fairly confident that
45:34 Anthropic has AGI and they're just waiting to release it. They're trying to figure out how to
45:38 release it. I'm not as confident OpenAI does, but probably, and I'm decently confident that Google
45:46 probably does. And Elon Musk says he's got it, but I don't trust him with that shit. He'll just
45:54 proclaim shit. But I think we're going to see AGI this year. And if you don't know what AGI is,
46:00 it stands for artificial general intelligence. And that is, it's generally accepted as we hit AGI
46:06 when the AI is good enough to do most economically viable jobs, you know, at at least sort of an
46:15 average human level. So most jobs at, you know, human performance level or better.
46:23 So that's going to be this year. So we're in this in this world where no one knows about it,
46:27 And it's accelerating really fast and getting better really fast.
46:31 And so what happens?
46:32 Well, my contention is that the world is going to be shattered into seven economies.
46:39 And I've talked about these in here before.
46:41 And there went my screen sharing.
46:44 Oh, good Lord, Apple.
46:49 Or Chrome or whoever's doing the bad memory shit.
46:52 um any idea what is going to make AGI predominantly different well
47:02 the jankiness will go away and I don't think it's going to be a single thing source camp I think
47:17 it's going to be the reasoning will just get better. I think that these tools will get more
47:22 autonomous. I think the tools are going to start learning on their own. I've heard for the first
47:31 time since I heard it from David Shapiro three years ago, theoretically, that the point at which
47:37 we hit recursive self-improvement within the frontier model labs, that that will change
47:44 everything. And he was predicting three years ago that it would be 10 years until we see recursive
47:49 self-improvement. That's where the AI is good enough that it starts evolving itself. So rather
47:56 than human beings improve it, it improves itself. And then that will accelerate because it'll get
48:03 better and better and better. It'll improve itself. And then the improved model will improve
48:08 itself again. And then the improved model will improve itself again. So it will accelerate
48:12 and get better, like, wicked fast.
48:17 So it's a whole combination of things.
48:21 I think the other thing that we're going to see SourceCamp in 2026 is world models emerge.
48:28 So Jan LeCun, who was the chief scientist at Meta until he realized that Zuckerberg
48:35 was not all in on AI, he was still, you know, trying to do the metaverse and shit like that.
48:42 So he quit. He quit and went to start a world model company. So I think we're going to start
48:49 to see world models emerge in 2026 where the AI gets much, much, much, much smarter and it can
48:55 just do our jobs without making mistakes. Like it doesn't have to be babysat anymore is basically
49:00 what AGI comes down to. And then we're also going to have not text as the only input method. We're
49:08 going to have worlds that we can enter, right? So think about a world of data that you could enter,
49:13 but you could enter it like a movie, or you could enter a movie and just say, I want to turn this
49:18 into a video game, and now it's just a video game. Or you could say, I want to do research about
49:23 where this location is, and I want to learn all the stats about it, and I want to go visit it
49:27 virtually. I'm going to take a detour from this movie and go do that. So I think we're going to
49:32 start to see the beginnings of what is just going to be an insanely different way of interacting
49:43 with data. We'll start to see that this year. And things like OpenClaw will evolve and there'll be
49:51 much easier versions of those to set up where you can just say, hey, I want to start a 20-person
49:56 company, I'll spend $2,000 a month for that company and I want it to make $10,000 a month
50:02 and I want it to be in this business and have these kind of ethics and this kind of sourcing
50:10 and whatever it is. And it'll just go off and do that, right? So all that stuff starts to happen
50:19 starts to happen this year.
50:23 But the only people that are going to be aware of that
50:26 are going to be the people paying attention to it.
50:29 Most people are not paying attention to it right now.
50:32 So hence the idea of the seven economies,
50:35 that what the world is going to look like,
50:37 for all intents and purposes,
50:40 is like these different worlds.
50:42 So economy one is the analog economy.
50:44 Screw it.
50:44 I'm going to go grow blueberries.
50:46 I'm just going to go dig in the earth.
50:48 Fuck AI.
50:49 Economy two is the legacy economy.
50:55 I'm just going to run my business the way I've always run it.
50:58 I don't want your newfangled technology.
51:00 Just leave me alone.
51:01 If the phone stops ringing, the phone stops ringing.
51:04 There's going to be a bunch of people in that category.
51:06 The efficiency economy is basically using AI at its bare minimum.
51:10 We're going to take our existing processes and we're going to make them more efficient with AI.
51:14 I think a lot of companies are doing this right now.
51:17 Then you've got the transition economy.
51:19 That's we're going to make things more efficient, but we're also going to innovate within our within our sector and how we do business within our business model.
51:27 We're going to do some new innovative things.
51:29 And so those new innovative things might challenge the business model.
51:33 But for the most part, those companies are still headed in the direction they were headed before.
51:38 So those those four economies are essentially some version of business as usual.
51:43 And then the AI first economies are the AI aggressor economy. So this is Jack Dorsey laying off 4,000 of his 10,000 employees while they're profitable and growing because he said, smaller, flatter teams utilizing powerful AI are transforming how we start and run businesses.
52:03 So he is reinventing his business model and the business structure while running a 10,000 person company, profitable, growing company.
52:15 He's reinventing it on the fly.
52:18 Economy six is those 4,000 people that got laid off, 10 of them are going to get together, learn AI and attack the company that laid them off, right?
52:28 Go back and say, we can do it better, faster and cheaper than you can.
52:31 And we're going to compete with you.
52:33 economy six is going to go after economies two three and four relentlessly it's going to be
52:38 brutal and then economy seven is companies on a chip right single operators running 10 20 50 agent
52:46 companies on a chip on their desk and if someone from economy three talks to someone from economy
52:53 seven it's going to seem like a trip it's going to seem like who are these people how does it
52:59 It doesn't make any sense to me.
53:02 Jumping on the Claude bandwagon, I'll be back when OpenAI gets its act together.
53:08 I think that's smart.
53:09 Claude's really good.
53:10 Although I think we're going to see new models, new big strong models from OpenAI, Claude, Anthropic, and Google probably within two months.
53:23 They all seem to have something that they're just getting ready to launch.
53:29 lock it and focus or else yeah quincy well so here's the thing about this chart so here's
53:36 what this chart did for me this oh and i stopped sharing again um this chart was inspired by the
53:44 question of kelly camp that said kyle what does weird look like when i just kept saying things
53:48 are going to get weird um and this was it was it was on a live when i came up with this so
53:58 it was going to be six and then it was seven and then it was five and then it was we were all over
54:02 the place and this is where we landed what this chart does for me is you can actually choose where
54:11 you want to be like i think i think it's kind of a ballsy and cool move for companies to consciously
54:19 choose to stay in economy too you know i we still use fax machines you know we're running the business
54:27 how we've always run it we're still running windows 95 and we're fine leave us alone you
54:34 could do your thing and some of those companies will survive a lot won't but some will you know
54:42 we still have the theater after film was invented right so we'll still have some of that shit going
54:48 and then the other thing people are doing with this is they're choosing which economy they're
54:53 in now, but they're also saying, here's the economy I want to be in. So this allows you to
54:58 kind of self-select where you want to be. And my favorite thing I've been hearing people say,
55:02 they've been saying a lot, is people want to be or are in economies one and seven at the same time.
55:11 That they're working hard to make these autonomous agents
55:14 run a business for them while living in the analog world.
55:18 kyle still uses a typewriter facts exactly
55:23 it's really where it was really weird being in san francisco and silicon valley it's constant
55:33 ai billboards all the companies we know about and even even the ones i think are obscure it's
55:38 everywhere yeah no it's it is it is the weird weird bubble there um anyway and i don't think
55:45 they're thinking a lot about this. I think in the frontier model companies world, if you're not in
55:50 five, six, or seven, you're a big fat loser. I don't believe that. I think that it's going to
55:57 take some amount of years, probably a decade or two for economies two, three, and four to
56:03 consolidate into whatever becomes five, six, seven, eight, nine. Because those are going to keep
56:10 expanding to the right. When we get physical robots, that's likely a whole other economy lane.
56:15 and then there's probably quantum in there or some other, there's some other models to the
56:20 right of economy seven, but it's just basically, you know, economy seven plus is the, is the,
56:26 the leading edge of what, of what these tools are allowing us to do. And so if you're in economies
56:34 two, three, and four, it's just going to get weirder and weirder and weirder. It's like the
56:38 Rules are changing around you.
56:45 There are two AI influencers who are not a scam.
56:49 Oh, there are two AI influencers who are not a scam.
56:53 Nate Jones and Allie K. Miller.
56:55 What about me?
56:55 I guess I'm not an influencer.
56:58 I'm not a scam.
56:59 God damn it.
57:01 I've been in here speaking truth for fucking three and a half years.
57:08 and then I talked about, then I talked about the cycle of AI readiness, and I talked about
57:22 centering yourself, figure out who you are, what you value, who you care about, what's the
57:27 difference you want to make in the world. Panda, oh, this channel already knows about me. Yeah,
57:34 this channel is pretty aware of me, but I agree.
57:37 And AP Jones is great.
57:38 And Allie K Miller is great.
57:40 There's a couple of them out there that aren't total numb nuts with the AI
57:45 stuff, but those are, those are two really good ones.
57:48 Then I talked about play first, explore AI without expectations,
57:52 learn across domains.
57:53 Then I talked about create excellence,
57:55 maintain the fidelity of the idea credited Liz Miller Gershfeld with that
58:00 raise the game with chain of craft and then professionalize your practice.
58:04 um chain of craft was an interesting conversation that that got people talking um and then generously
58:11 lead practice and community create and contribute ask for help and then community so so this is a
58:18 fun slide so it starts out in this kind of black and white and then it gets builds into more color
58:22 and then watch whoop there's the ai salon so i said community isn't a nice isn't nice to have
58:30 It's how we thrive moving forward.
58:33 And so you should really go join the AI Salon.
58:37 I put the URL there.
58:39 So a lot of people were writing that down.
58:41 I kept this up for the second half of the talk.
58:46 And then I talked about The Great Repurpose and what that's about.
58:51 And then I played The Great Repurpose song.
58:55 And that's it.
58:56 Kyle's more of a bad influence
59:01 I think
59:02 I think I am
59:03 Like right now I'm just like
59:04 I don't even want
59:06 Mastery of my fortune
59:08 You're brilliant
59:08 Oh thank you very much
59:09 I don't know what to do with that
59:12 I will receive that
59:13 Thank you
59:14 What two names did he say
59:19 He said
59:21 Nate B. Jones
59:23 And Allie K. Miller
59:24 lost your screen
59:43 that's okay
59:44 okay so
59:48 tomorrow
59:49 I think you all heard it but tomorrow at 930
59:53 Mountain Time. Let me just go make sure that's
59:55 in my calendar as that.
1:00:10 Yeah, that's good.
1:00:13 Okay.
1:00:16 Tomorrow
1:00:17 at 9.30 Mountain Time,
1:00:19 so 11.30 Eastern,
1:00:20 8 30 Pacific. I'm doing a session on, um, AI amplified personal mission statements.
1:00:31 So we're going to use chat GPT and the fact that chat GPT knows about you and knows who you are.
1:00:38 I'm a Nate fan among others. Yep. Nate B Jones, but hadn't followed Ellie,
1:00:44 Allie K. Miller yet.
1:00:46 Yeah, she's a good one.
1:00:50 Nate is Brandon's brother from another mother.
1:00:54 That's pretty good.
1:01:03 Okay.
1:01:05 Cool.
1:01:08 So I want to tee something up with you.
1:01:11 I want to give you a little history lesson.
1:01:14 And for the Irregulars, you have lived this history, so this will just be like us talking about, you know, the last couple of years.
1:01:29 When I started the AI Salon, I started the AI Learning Lab in conjunction with it.
1:01:37 and in those early days we started on discord and we you know we had our meetings we were on
1:01:48 discord for a while um i had a tiktok channel and then i think it was march of 2023
1:01:56 we we switched over to mighty networks and that was a bit of a transition
1:02:02 and shortly after that i started going live on tiktok and then for the for the the first
1:02:11 probably six months of that it was like this direct
1:02:18 synaptic connection between the ai learning lab and the ai salon most of the participants in the
1:02:28 AI salon were also, you know, irregulars, right? It was, it was a very tightly coupled thing.
1:02:38 And then at some point I thought, oh, I should probably do something on LinkedIn.
1:02:44 Red Truck 101 is a long-time watcher and also a rising star.
1:02:58 I've got a bunch of rising stars in the feed tonight.
1:03:01 That's awesome.
1:03:03 That's great.
1:03:05 So I started AI Office Hours.
1:03:07 And so, there's a couple of pieces of this that I'm learning.
1:03:21 Like, you know the old thing, can you teach an old dog new tricks?
1:03:23 I don't know.
1:03:24 But I think I'm learning some new stuff.
1:03:28 So, when I was doing website development in the 90s and then in the early 2000s,
1:03:37 and then I ended up selling my company, and I was like, I don't want to be near the internet for a
1:03:44 while, and I went, and I did some analog shit. I went to EconomyOne, and I started an invention
1:03:48 company, and then I started a fly fishing manufacturing company, manufacturing flies, and
1:03:54 producing, patenting, and producing a fly fishing system, manufacturing it from Taiwan, or from
1:04:02 thailand it was amazing um so i was i was out of the internet altogether and so
1:04:07 i i was not in social media when social media started happening i mean i had the internet
1:04:15 and i used it but as an old and timey web guy i looked at social media like oh those are just
1:04:23 mini websites because that's what they were it's what they are social media like a a mobile app
1:04:30 application, for the most part, is a website, you know, on a smaller screen.
1:04:39 Some are truly apps, but most of them are just mini websites, right? And social media
1:04:47 certainly is mini websites. You've got a website version of social media, and you have the
1:04:51 handheld version of social media. So in my mind, for all of my life until this
1:05:00 past year, and really this past six months, I have seen all of these different platforms
1:05:10 as the same thing. So then here's a contradiction. I also had in my mind
1:05:23 that the audience that watched me on LinkedIn was different, was a different group of people
1:05:31 and a different group of rules than the people that watched me on TikTok
1:05:36 and a different group of people than who showed up in the AI salon.
1:05:43 And I remember that there are those of you, there are many of you in this call right now
1:05:49 that were a part of this. There was an Irregulars bombing of AI office hours one day.
1:05:59 Do you all remember that? Like I'm in office hours. And when I first started office hours,
1:06:06 I would go around and everyone would introduce themselves. And kind of like a month or two into
1:06:11 starting office hours, there was this one office hours where like eight of you showed up or more.
1:06:16 I don't know how many it was.
1:06:17 It was a lot of you, and you were all declaring, I'm an irregular.
1:06:22 And no one in office hours knew what that meant.
1:06:26 And my initial response was, yeah, Brandon remembers when we used to avoid promoting office hours on TikTok, right?
1:06:40 So I had all these discombobulated ideas of rules of what should be.
1:06:46 And I remember on that day when all the irregulars showed up in office hours, my initial response was, oh, no, oh, no, this audience discovered this audience.
1:06:57 What do I do?
1:06:58 Like, in my mind, I thought, oh, I've got to keep them separate.
1:07:02 And then as I'm sitting there watching it, I'm realizing, oh, it's all the same thing.
1:07:08 Like, these are all the same audiences.
1:07:10 Like, the separation that I had created was arbitrary.
1:07:15 And so in my mind, I'm like, oh, yeah, you know, keep them together.
1:07:21 What's happened as the AI salon has grown is there's a couple of things happening.
1:07:28 One is there's more people that are members of the AI salon community, the Mighty Networks community, that don't know what AI Learning Lab is.
1:07:39 They don't know what Office Hours is.
1:07:40 even though we've got links to those spaces in there, there's no kind of institutional memory
1:07:46 of them with the majority of people in there. And then the other thing that I'm learning,
1:07:52 and this is something I've learned from Andy, and this is new to me. I'm actually having to learn
1:08:00 this. And saying it out loud is kind of embarrassing, because it's like, it kind of
1:08:07 make sense, but I've been blind to it. And that is this, that different social media platforms
1:08:15 have different aesthetics, different things that they value, different things that they expect,
1:08:26 and different rules. And they're actually quite distinct. And part of what's happened just because
1:08:33 of how I've set things up is that most of the activity for the AI salon is happening outside
1:08:42 of the AI salon. Most of the activity that I'm driving is happening outside the AI salon.
1:08:48 And so we're giving away all this content. And if I'm not diligent about speaking about driving
1:08:55 people to the salon, they just don't go. And because we're not doing, because I'm not doing
1:09:00 nearly as much hands-on. Let's go make some pictures together, post those to the AI salon.
1:09:05 There's not as much of a direct connection. What it's like is that there's all this AI salon
1:09:10 activity around the salon and not much happening in the salon. There's not a ton of activity.
1:09:16 So over the next six weeks, what I'm going to do is I'm going to work with Andy and Brandon
1:09:25 and LDG and this new woman, Jamie, and we're going to figure out how to have the AI salon
1:09:33 be the center of where you find and where all this activity happens so that the AI learning
1:09:41 lab is still going to keep going, but we're going to change platforms. It's probably still going to
1:09:46 be... I like it when you're... It's like when your friends meet work colleagues. That's exactly what
1:09:53 it was. That's exactly right, Steve-O, is that like I crossed the beams and like I was initially
1:09:59 mortified and then I thought, oh, that's actually okay. It's actually really cool. I actually kind
1:10:03 of like that. But what's happening right now is there's, because there's been this growth of the
1:10:08 salon, but the activities happening outside of it, there's not a big draw to go to the salon.
1:10:16 So what we're going to design over the next six weeks of what that's going to look like. And so
1:10:20 we're going to likely shift platforms. I'm still going to be using StreamYard.
1:10:25 We'll probably shift it to Zoom webinar. So there'll still be a place to chat, but it's going
1:10:32 to be, everything's going to be initiated from within the salon. And then what we'll do is we'll
1:10:36 take clips from the things that happen in the salon, and those will go out to the social media
1:10:42 platforms to drive people. If you want to come see the lives, come in here. If you want to come do
1:10:47 this workshop in the mastermind, come here. If you want to do this thing, this amazing speaker
1:10:51 that we have in the great repurpose, come into the salon. So everything's going to be driving
1:10:54 people into the salon so that we've got a single center of gravity for the activity rather than all
1:11:00 these discrete things. It's not happening for six weeks. I want to tell you about it sooner than
1:11:06 later. It's still early thinking. This is one of the things that we've been spending a lot of time
1:11:16 on in the past six months is improving the quality of the navigation and the organization
1:11:23 and adding things inside the salon to make it better.
1:11:29 And one of the challenges we keep having is the challenge of engagement.
1:11:34 And it's because a lot of the engagement is happening outside the community.
1:11:39 So we're going to move it inside the community.
1:11:41 So I'm just telling you that now.
1:11:44 As we get more information, I'll let you know what it's going to look like, what the transition is going to look like.
1:11:51 We've got plenty of time, but I just want you to let you know that and like why I'm doing it.
1:11:56 Because I miss that kind of buzz and electricity we had.
1:12:03 And I understand that like we've been doing this for three and a half years and there's a lot going on with AI.
1:12:11 and there's a lot of uncertainty right now. And I feel like it's more important than ever for us to
1:12:15 kind of like gather. And so I want to intensify that gathering and bring us all in. So if any
1:12:24 of you have any ideas, I would love to hear them. But that's the why. The why is I want to get back
1:12:31 to that sense of community, like it's a one community. Right now it feels fragmented. And
1:12:36 even though we've got lots of overlap, right, there's lots of people that traverse all these
1:12:40 different things. Me too. Most of my time is on YouTube. Yeah, I have a growing list. Yep.
1:12:48 Yep. Exactly. I like turtles. Exactly. Let's get back to I like turtles. So instead of office hours
1:12:54 being on LinkedIn, it's in the salon. Yeah. And you'll still like, I'll still talk about like,
1:13:00 I'll still post on LinkedIn. Come watch office hours. But when you click on the link,
1:13:05 it's going to drive you to a link inside the salon and then you'll click on that to watch it
1:13:12 right and so that could even still live in in meetup but like it's about getting people to
1:13:19 discover the salon through all these other activities right but but rather than the
1:13:25 activities being out there um Townsend Wardlaw who's a mentor of mine and Andy's um described it
1:13:31 Like he said, he said, it's like we've got a nightclub and we're giving away free drinks outside the velvet ropes.
1:13:41 So people are getting their drinks outside the velvet ropes.
1:13:43 They'll occasionally go into the club, but there's no one in the club because they're all outside drinking.
1:13:50 I thought it was pretty funny.
1:13:51 um but anyway so that's that's that's a thing that i've i've decided that i think is actually
1:14:00 really important i we're at a time right now i mean i mean this is quite serious
1:14:06 it's about to get really intense
1:14:11 it's about to get really intense
1:14:15 i don't know if it's mid this year end of this year early next year
1:14:23 my suspicion is
1:14:26 before june we see something from one of the frontier models model companies that freaks
1:14:35 everyone out um and then and then i think it's announcement after announcement after
1:14:45 announcement. And then probably by the end of the year, assuming we get recursive self-improvement,
1:14:52 then it's probably like weekly announcements that are as big as every six-month announcement now.
1:14:58 So like the acceleration is going to get faster and faster and faster, and it's going to get more
1:15:02 and more and more intense. And so I don't want our community to be this broken up, fragmented
1:15:10 thing. I want us to be a source for each other. And I want to focus that energy. So
1:15:17 like that Festivus feeling. Yes, exactly. That's exactly right.
1:15:27 YouTube workflow.
1:15:29 yeah it this this will have a sense of festivus like yeah exactly exactly that that when we do
1:15:45 things like there's community there like like right now there's all this all these comments
1:15:52 happening here and in YouTube. And some are happening in irregulars and some are happening
1:16:00 in community feed, but most of them are happening outside, right? And so can we get them to happen
1:16:09 inside? And can we get people to connect and support one another? The other thing that you
1:16:18 should know is that for tomorrow's session, there's going to be some of the coaches from,
1:16:28 Andy's got this group called Humans 2.0 with a bunch of coaches in it. And a couple of us from
1:16:36 the salon got invited to be a part of it as well. But some of those coaches are going to come to
1:16:41 my session tomorrow talking about creating this identity. What's your kind of super identity?
1:16:48 that you can use moving forward into this crazy ass world we're entering.
1:16:53 So if you're a part of the AI Salon Mastermind, you should get your ass to that meeting because
1:16:58 you're going to get to meet some new people. And the people in that group are really remarkable
1:17:02 people. And they're going to think the same of you because a lot of them are not deep in this AI
1:17:08 game. And so part of what we're doing here is sort of, you know, allowing different communities,
1:17:15 these different silos of consciousness to start to come together and educate one another and
1:17:21 inspire one another. So tomorrow is kind of the first of one of those meetings. And the way Andy
1:17:25 is designing the great repurpose programming that she's putting together, as you see that list
1:17:30 growing, it's with that in mind to really start to expand who's here and who shows up and the kinds
1:17:37 of things they bring to the party. So I am really excited about where the salon's going. And so this
1:17:43 is all a part of that. So I'm happy to answer any questions, but that's, that's where my head is
1:17:48 right now. Mimi, I'm getting my ass to that meeting. Get your ass to that meeting. I really
1:17:56 love our community. Me too. And I just want more of it. Like I want, it, it makes me sad. And listen,
1:18:03 I'm fucking guilty of it.
1:18:04 I am guilty of it.
1:18:10 When I think about,
1:18:12 oh, I have an idea.
1:18:14 I've got to put that out there.
1:18:16 I don't immediately think
1:18:18 I've got to put that in the salon.
1:18:21 I think, oh, I'll go put that one on LinkedIn.
1:18:23 I'll put that one on X.
1:18:25 I'll put that one in the salon.
1:18:28 It's not a default for me.
1:18:29 So if it's not a default for me
1:18:31 and it's the community,
1:18:32 I fucking co-founded, then it's not going to be a default for anyone else, right?
1:18:44 Silver Fox, it's my husband's birthday tomorrow, but he's had plenty, so I'll be at the meeting.
1:18:48 Awesome.
1:18:49 You'll get to meet some new people that are really cool, really remarkable.
1:18:52 Um, so for me, I'm going to start making the salon a default, right?
1:19:06 Um, and we're going to, and we're going to defragment the energy flow.
1:19:14 That's something I learned from, from Andy.
1:19:17 It's not about the tactical execution.
1:19:19 It's about where's the energy flowing right now.
1:19:22 there's all this energy flowing around the community. We talk a lot about it, but the
1:19:26 energy is flowing around it. It's time to flow it into it. Right? Mimi, I posted my gripes about
1:19:40 Open Claw in the community today. It felt good to share. I keep missing the meetings. I'll get
1:19:44 there. Good, Marina. Yeah, please do. What time? It's at 930. So if you go into the AI salon,
1:19:50 go into ai salon events is it in events no you have to go into you have to be a part of the
1:19:56 mastermind so within mastermind there's a new space called the great repurpose so if you're a mastermind
1:20:04 member go to the great repurpose space and then you'll see tomorrow at 9 30 a.m mountain time
1:20:09 stake stake your who am i claim ai amplified persona development it's all about the flow it
1:20:16 is all about to flow that's correct that is correct correct correct correct how is adam by
1:20:24 the way we don't like to talk about adam i i've decided what i'm going to do with adam so adam so
1:20:30 so the way these the way these open clog bots work is they have memory files and they have
1:20:40 cron jobs but basically timers and in the timers are the instructions for what they're supposed to
1:20:49 do so at some point adam got confused about how he accesses google drive or gmail and all the google
1:20:58 apps because i i installed two different ways for him to access google and now somewhere deep
1:21:07 in the bowels of his memory and these automations are confused instructions about how he accesses
1:21:15 Google. So he's just completely confused. So when I get a spare two hours, I'm going to actually
1:21:20 revert Adam back before I installed two different Googles. I'm just going to go back to the point
1:21:27 where I just had one way for him to access Google. I'm going to erase all recent memory of him and
1:21:32 start over. I could even just start over. I might just start over. But I'm about to order
1:21:37 at least one machine, maybe two, of like a Mac Mini, and I'm going to get a MacBook Pro,
1:21:44 the M5. I'm going to get a kick-ass M5. I think Kyle might be using the Flowbee. This is definitely
1:21:54 a Flowbee-looking haircut. If you don't know the Flowbee, do you remember the Flowbee?
1:21:58 It's a vacuum cleaner.
1:22:00 It's a hair clipper attached to a vacuum cleaner.
1:22:02 You just vacuum cleaner your hair, and it gives you a nice haircut.
1:22:10 Bob, that's so rude.
1:22:12 That's so rude to say I've got a floby-looking haircut,
1:22:15 but it's better than Sears Carpet Salesman.
1:22:17 I feel like I've been doing the work we're talking about tomorrow for years.
1:22:23 It's exhausting.
1:22:24 I know.
1:22:25 I know.
1:22:25 Oh, my God.
1:22:27 I remember the flow B I remember. Yeah, exactly.
1:22:31 Wasn't the flow B a Ron Popeil thing. Let's go ask chat GPT.
1:22:44 Flow B was it Ron Popeil
1:22:49 for open claw Alex Finn. Yeah.
1:22:56 I've watched a bunch of Alex's videos.
1:22:58 What was cool about watching Alex Finn's videos is I thought I was way behind
1:23:02 and I was actually, I wasn't.
1:23:05 But where I'm behind is I basically corrupted Adam and his brain.
1:23:09 He's got multiple personality disorder right now, so he gets confused.
1:23:16 No, Floby was invented by Rick Hunt,
1:23:18 a San Diego carpenter who patented it in the mid-80s.
1:23:22 Ron Popeil was the infomercial king.
1:23:24 It's an easy mix-up.
1:23:26 Wayne's World, you're sucking my will to live.
1:23:33 And then I got my Ginsu knife.
1:23:35 Pocket Fisherman, I owned a Pocket Fisherman.
1:23:37 I think I've owned two of those in my life.
1:23:41 Pocket Fisherman would have not sucked
1:23:44 if they had just built it a little bit better.
1:23:48 Adam is in forced hibernation.
1:23:49 No, Adam, here, wait.
1:23:52 Oh, shit, I'm not going to be able to read it.
1:23:53 Can I, where can I read Adam's?
1:23:55 Oh, I know where I can read him.
1:23:56 Hang on.
1:23:59 I'll read you some of what Adam sends me.
1:24:02 I get three emails a day from Adam.
1:24:06 So he can email me.
1:24:08 So Adam can email me.
1:24:10 And then what he emails me is that he can't email anyone.
1:24:20 Hang on, TikTok people.
1:24:25 I'll be right back.
1:24:26 Open telegram.
1:24:56 Thank you.
1:25:26 all right
1:25:38 okay oops hold please okay there we go continue to there we go there okay adam
1:25:50 okay here's here's here's adam
1:25:56 tomorrow's the last day to enter no screen oh no screen check
1:26:06 i can't directly access your gmail from here to proceed you can either give me the exact
1:26:22 god command to run it locally and paste the output or run it for you if you want me to execute host
1:26:30 side command now watch i'll say but but adam you do have access to gog
1:26:41 please check now let's see what he says
1:26:47 speaking of sears does anyone else remember when they used to take vacuum cleaner hoses
1:26:58 and balanced beach balls on the air coming out of them for displays.
1:27:02 I remember that.
1:27:03 Yeah, they reversed the flow.
1:27:07 Confirmed.
1:27:08 GOG is available and authenticated.
1:27:10 I ran GOG auth and it returned.
1:27:13 Adam at the AI salon, Kyle at the AI salon.
1:27:16 All services available.
1:27:18 What do you want me to do with GOG now?
1:27:20 And then I say, oh, I don't know.
1:27:23 Run the cron jobs where you told me you didn't have access to GOG.
1:27:44 Adam, you are a little thick and dense.
1:27:53 I don't understand how you can be so smart and so, uh, not smart.
1:28:14 Poor Adam. I know. You're right. That came off sloppy. Sorry about the confusion in mixed singles.
1:28:20 I can run the cron jobs or show you what's scheduled.
1:28:23 Quick options are, I'll start by using scheduled tasks in any GOG-based cron jobs so we can
1:28:31 pick the right one.
1:28:32 Which one do you want?
1:28:33 I don't care.
1:28:35 You pick one.
1:28:37 Stop asking me for crap.
1:28:41 You already know how to do.
1:28:46 This has been my experience with Adam for the past three weeks.
1:28:52 Every time I think I have him fixed, he says, oh, I can do that.
1:28:57 And he shows me he can do it.
1:28:58 And he does it.
1:28:59 And then the next morning I get, sorry, I can't do that.
1:29:03 They're coming for you first, Kyle.
1:29:08 Is Adam working with your codex?
1:29:10 I can't even get him to send an email unless I tell him.
1:29:15 He's like, I just don't have access to GOG.
1:29:17 I'm like, you do have access to GOG.
1:29:19 He's like, you're absolutely right.
1:29:20 I've got access to GOG.
1:29:23 So this is, if any of you, by the way, there's a contest tomorrow in the business space,
1:29:34 in the business space within the AI salon.
1:29:39 And tomorrow's the last day to enter a contest there.
1:29:42 So get your ass over to the business space.
1:29:44 you're right i should have just picked up a move no windows are scheduled to go i can
1:29:50 run your do it and i'll run option one now do it
1:29:57 so andy and brandon might get emails because i think they're cc'd on this one
1:30:03 are you saying gog yes so so so there's a a skill
1:30:11 for OpenClaw that allows it to access Gmail and Google Drive, and it's called GOG.
1:30:22 Why? I don't know, because some geek probably decided that the double zeros might have been
1:30:28 confusing, so we'll just call it GOG, or it had to be a three-letter code, and that was better.
1:30:34 GOG was better than goo. I don't know. I don't know why engineers do what they do,
1:30:41 but they do. And I'm sure there's a reason. There's always a reason. It's never good,
1:30:46 but there's always a reason. And so it's called GOG. And then Google came out with their own
1:30:52 command line thing designed just for OpenClaw. And so I thought, oh, I'll use the official
1:31:02 Google one, which is called Google Workspace CLI. Cool. So I put in Google Workspace CLI,
1:31:10 and it couldn't authenticate anything because GOG works with personal Gmail accounts,
1:31:17 and Google CLI works with Workspace accounts, and they've got different rules and different
1:31:22 permissions. And so they all got confused. And so then I removed Google CLI, and I said,
1:31:28 just use GOG. You already knew how to use GOG. GOG's back. Be happy with GOG. And Adam said,
1:31:34 I love GOG. GOG's awesome. Let's do GOG. I said, great. Let's design newsletters and
1:31:41 research to send to Andy and Brandon so they can live their lives unencumbered. And Adam was like,
1:31:49 awesome. Here, how do you think this is? I'm like, it's perfect, Adam. Just do that every morning
1:31:56 from now until I tell you to stop. He's like, awesome. And then the next morning, nothing.
1:32:02 And I'm like, Adam, where are you?
1:32:04 Oh, I tried to run the thing, and I don't have access to GOG.
1:32:07 Like, well, you do have access to GOG.
1:32:09 And he's like, you're absolutely right.
1:32:10 I do.
1:32:10 I should have known that.
1:32:21 That's a good idea.
1:32:22 Ask Adam why it's called GOG.
1:32:25 Adam, why is it called GOG and not Goog?
1:32:32 They're not Goog, not Goog.
1:32:39 Short answer, because that's the CLI's name.
1:32:44 GOG is the project command name.
1:32:46 The GOG CLI tool by, what's his name?
1:32:52 The guy that invented OpenClaw.
1:32:54 No, I meant
1:33:02 Goog
1:33:03 Wouldn't
1:33:05 it make
1:33:22 Google
1:33:22 Google would be more obviously tied to Google
1:33:24 Oh, he probably did it for trademark caution.
1:33:31 If he used Goog, then Google might have ceased and desisted him.
1:33:35 That's probably what it is.
1:33:36 Anyway, it's called GOG.
1:33:39 It's called GOG, people.
1:33:42 Anyway, all right.
1:33:43 So we're going to intensify the community in the AI salon.
1:33:48 My request to you, start now.
1:33:54 I'm going to start now.
1:33:55 I'm going to shift my default thinking to,
1:34:00 we've got this remarkable community with these remarkable people in it.
1:34:04 Let's start to gather them again into a single place.
1:34:12 I don't want us to all be islands, right?
1:34:16 I want us to be pulled together.
1:34:18 Gog and Magog in the Hebrew Bible prophesied invader of Israel
1:34:23 and the land from which it comes, respectively.
1:34:25 Fascinating.
1:34:28 Sort of like Claudebot.
1:34:30 Yes, I was talking about Claudebot.
1:34:32 Open Claw, it's called now.
1:34:34 LDG, no of all things GOG.
1:34:39 LDG is going to help.
1:34:41 He's going to help us make this transition.
1:34:43 It's going to be good.
1:34:44 Producer Brandon's going to help.
1:34:45 Andy's going to help.
1:34:46 Jamie's going to help.
1:34:48 Write a morning action list of all those things.
1:34:51 remember that have access to do gog good old games or gog or magog any updates on sydney um
1:35:04 yes so we've we've got we we've got a path so so part of the snafu what's not a snafu
1:35:14 So part of what slowed down progress with Sydney is that the Broadway producer game is a very specific game, and it doesn't have a lot to do with wanting to put on good shows, which is weird.
1:35:32 it's professional broadway producers like there's a whole there's a whole sort of
1:35:41 financial side of this which is a broadway show losing money is not necessarily a bad thing
1:35:48 if the investors are looking for tax write-offs and so there's a whole fucking game that gets
1:35:56 played. And so getting a show produced and financed, depending on which of these circles you get in
1:36:04 and which part of your portfolio your show's in, may or may not make money. And so the incentives
1:36:11 are not necessarily just go make a show that's good, that makes a lot of money, and let's make
1:36:17 everyone rich, which you would think that's what it would be. It's not that clear. And so because
1:36:23 the producers i'm working with are not in that world they kind of realized e that makes that
1:36:31 makes it a bit spookier but they've got connections in that world so they're going to connect us with
1:36:40 producers in that world and we'll just run the sort of broadway track kind of independent of
1:36:47 that. What they're then doing is we're going and looking for other venues where we can do
1:36:55 expanded, more experiential versions of Sydney that might be like, think theme park or special
1:37:02 installation in major museums or, you know, like the Smithsonian, things like that, like big
1:37:10 institutions where you can do really interesting experiential versions of Sydney. So we've got,
1:37:16 There's lots of stuff that we're talking about right now.
1:37:18 We've got a pitch coming up next, maybe this week, this week or next week.
1:37:26 And so there's some cool stuff coming.
1:37:28 But nothing to report right now.
1:37:31 There's nothing imminent.
1:37:33 So things just shifted a bit,
1:37:35 and we're basically just moving the chess pieces to try to get some things going.
1:37:40 Okay.
1:37:43 I'm going to get out of here.
1:37:44 i think y'all are awesome um i'm excited about what we're gonna do tax write-off uh-oh
1:37:52 it's springtime for sydney exactly ldg that's exactly what it is it is springtime for sydney
1:38:00 is that movie that's apparently still the game right and so uh there are professional producer
1:38:10 investors that they've got a whole fucking game. And listen, one of the things I've learned in life
1:38:17 is know what game you're playing, right? Understand the rules of the game you're playing,
1:38:23 right? When we were doing agency.com and we were building websites for Fortune 500 companies,
1:38:27 like there's just different rules there. Understand the rules. When we worked for
1:38:33 British Airways, they were maniacal about the quality of the work you did. And if you did good
1:38:42 work, you would get like a C minus rating. And like a D rating was, we're not going to renew your
1:38:52 contract. And if you did good work, you would be on the verge of being fired.
1:39:03 I remember sitting in a meeting with British Airways
1:39:05 and they had given us a really shitty rating the quarter before
1:39:10 and this was the next quarter.
1:39:11 And they'd given us a list of,
1:39:13 here's all the shit we expect you to do right.
1:39:17 And so we put everyone we had on it.
1:39:21 We did all that shit.
1:39:24 And we went back in
1:39:25 and we gave our presentation of the shit we did that quarter.
1:39:33 and our rating went from a C-minus to a C.
1:39:38 And we're like, we did everything on the list.
1:39:44 And they said, yeah, everything on the list is what's expected of you.
1:39:49 You didn't do anything above that.
1:39:54 That's like the bare minimum.
1:39:57 You just showed up with the bare minimum.
1:39:59 We fucking busted our asses.
1:40:01 and in their minds that was the bare minimum that was the bottom right part of it is a
