0:21 Oh.
0:30 See the hill was a quiet town
0:33 where the oak trees sway.
0:37 Whizzle of the train echoes through the
0:40 day.
0:43 People greet you with a nod.
0:46 Nothing ever seems to change.
0:50 Stories still unfold. It's unique and
0:52 strange.
0:57 Good evening, good people.
1:02 Welcome to the AI Learning Lab pre-show.
1:05 It's Monday night. Sometimes we call
1:08 those meltdown Mondays. It's very
1:10 possible I have a meltdown Monday
1:11 tonight. Uh the AI learning lab is going
1:14 live. Yeah, that's our song, right?
1:16 Weird Mary.
1:19 People greet you with a knot. Nothing
1:22 ever seems to change.
1:25 The stories still unfold. be unique and
1:29 strange.
1:35 Wait, she grew up rough.
1:41 I don't remember all the chords.
1:47 But welcome. Welcome to the AI Learning
1:50 Lab pre-show. We go live at 7:30
1:53 Mountain time in about 19 minutes here.
1:57 If you're on LinkedIn or YouTube, you go
1:58 to the description of this here video
2:01 and there's a link to the AI salon.
2:03 We're going live in the AI Salon. If
2:05 you're on Tik Tok, hey Tik Tok, or uh X,
2:10 it's in my profile. So, you go to my
2:12 profile right there on Tik Tok. And on
2:14 X, it's there or there or doesn't really
2:19 matter.
2:29 Tonight is going to be much like a
2:30 Seinfeld episode. Not that it's funny,
2:36 uh, but that
2:40 I spent a fair amount of brain energy
2:44 today trying to figure out what I was
2:47 going to talk about tonight and I
2:49 couldn't do it.
2:51 And so what I'm going to talk about
2:53 tonight is the fact that I couldn't
2:54 figure out something to talk about
2:55 tonight.
2:58 Random thoughts by TK is in the house.
3:02 Genie's in the house.
3:15 Silver Fox in the house.
3:30 Is Champ okay? Champ is okay. Champ hurt
3:33 his leg. He's got arthritis. I think
3:36 he's probably got arthritis everywhere.
3:37 He's old. He's like 13 years old. Um but
3:40 he was like running around our yard and
3:42 he janked his leg out and he was really
3:44 bad for a couple of days. But uh but
3:45 he's better now. He's good. He's been
3:47 singing. Oh, he's a little lazy right
3:49 now. Champy, do you want to sing? You
3:50 want an A minor champ?
3:54 Do people want to hear you sing? You
3:56 want to sing?
4:13 I hope they will sing.
4:17 David played and it pleased the Lord.
4:22 You don't really care for music, do you?
4:29 Well, it goes like this. The fourth, the
4:31 fifth
4:33 mount of fall and a major lift
4:37 king composing.
4:40 Hallelujah.
4:43 Oops.
4:45 You got to have the minor. You got to
4:47 have the minor in the song that actually
4:50 says the minor lift, right? So, so it
4:54 goes,
4:56 let's see.
5:03 Yeah, it doesn't work. You got to go to
5:04 the minor lift
5:10 from your lip shed.
5:13 Hallelujah.
5:17 Hallelujah.
5:20 Hallelujah.
5:23 Hallelujah.
5:25 Hallelujah.
5:28 Oh yeah.
5:44 Good evening, good people. This is the
5:47 AI Learning Lab pre-show. We're going
5:49 live at 7:30 Mountain time right here
5:51 from this studio, this $20 million
5:54 gargantuan studio. I can't even begin to
5:58 tell you what work it took to make it
6:00 look like an authentic shitty home
6:02 office,
6:04 but believe me, there are dozens of
6:07 We've got grips and best boys. The
6:09 amount of Best Boys we have here
6:11 staggering. And uh
6:16 I you know I've written seven
6:18 screenplays. I still don't know what a
6:19 best boy does.
6:22 I have a feeling a best boy back in the
6:25 g glory days of of Hollywood was
6:27 something very different than what they
6:29 are today.
6:38 I spared myself the notion AI fee by
6:40 using codeex to run my notion desktop
6:43 act. There you go.
6:48 Lori K is a longtime watcher and a
6:51 rising star.
6:57 Lori K, I'm supposed to give you a shout
6:58 out. Here's your shout out.
7:02 So, we're going live in the AI salon at
7:05 7:30. That's just about 15 minutes from
7:07 now. If you're on LinkedIn or YouTube,
7:10 it's in the description. The the direct
7:12 link is there. If you go to my profile
7:14 in Tik Tok or X, uh you'll see the
7:17 direct direct link uh to the AI salon
7:20 right to the channel where this where
7:22 we're going to go live in uh in just 15
7:24 minutes. And uh Monday nights are kind
7:28 of like big big news event night. like
7:30 what's the big story of the week or like
7:34 what's what's something that's eating at
7:36 me or what's something that we need to
7:38 talk about and uh I got nothing
7:43 which I think is the big story.
7:46 I'm going to go with it. I think the big
7:49 story. Do you have any connections with
7:52 theater education?
7:54 Um I don't with theater education. I um
8:02 I mean I'm probably a phone call or two
8:04 away from people who are very connected
8:06 to theater education. Daisy Thomas um
8:10 who is the
8:12 she's our policy director for the AI
8:14 salon. Um she she has been very involved
8:18 with her local theater in Florida
8:23 and she's also quite the educator. So,
8:25 she's probably someone good to tap into.
8:27 Um,
8:30 I'm in the middle of trying to get a
8:31 musical produced, so I'm educating
8:33 myself about that world.
8:51 Yeah, Elon lost his lawsuit against
8:53 Altman. So, check this out.
8:58 So, they're in the courtroom dragging
9:01 out all of the [ __ ] that they did
9:04 and the emails and the text and the
9:06 tweets and the backstabbing and the
9:09 douchy behavior.
9:11 And the the jury gets the uh case
9:16 and they deliberate for 90 minutes. They
9:19 come back out
9:27 They come back out after 90 minutes and
9:29 they're like, "Uh, hey judge,
9:32 uh,
9:35 there's this thing called a statute of
9:36 limitations and it seems like that has
9:39 passed. Is that is that the case?"
9:44 And the judge tossed it.
9:48 Elon waited too long to sue Sam. Uh but
9:52 you know, we got a week and a half or
9:54 two weeks of courtroom drama about what
9:57 douchebags all of them are.
10:09 Sitting in this lonely town,
10:12 wondering things are going to change.
10:17 Dream my life away.
10:20 Seems these dreams have turned to a
10:22 bunch dust clouds.
10:26 Get my nerve up, but my past is pulling
10:29 me down.
10:33 Wondering how long
10:36 this black sheep going to stick around.
10:43 Somebody told me once before, you can
10:46 never go home again.
10:49 Won't you leave?
10:51 Sing things to steer me away. Yeah. From
10:55 the truth of who I am and what I
10:57 believe. So I thanked him for two cents
11:00 with a handshake and some sympathy.
11:04 Yeah. I packed up my blue jeans and
11:08 headed for this big prize
11:12 of my freedom.
11:16 Bye-bye,
11:17 black sheep. To the black sheep of the
11:21 family.
11:23 Bye-bye.
11:27 Oh, that means so very much to me. Yeah.
11:31 Bye-bye,
11:33 black sheep. To my friends and my
11:36 family.
11:38 Bye-bye.
11:41 I gone off and set my soul.
11:46 Set it free. All right, good people.
11:49 Tornado warnings and AI. Yeah, there is
11:51 a lot of noise going on with AI right
11:53 now. And there have been tornado
11:55 warnings right here in my little
11:56 neighborhood here in Denver or just out
11:57 east. Um,
12:01 so this is the AI Learning Lab pre-show.
12:03 You get to hear the dog sing when the
12:05 dog decides he wants to sing. He doesn't
12:06 really want to sing tonight. We got a
12:08 little bit. Um, we're going live at 7:30
12:11 Mountain time over in the AI salon. If
12:13 you're like, "But Kyle, how do I get to
12:14 the AI salon?" You can read right there.
12:17 There's the URL. But you're like, "Kyle,
12:20 I I don't like to type URLs. What am I a
12:23 Gen Xer?"
12:28 No, you don't have to. You don't have to
12:29 type. You just If you go to my profile
12:32 on Tik Tocker X, you just click on it.
12:35 And if you're on YouTube or LinkedIn,
12:36 there's a little description below this
12:38 video. There's a hyperlink in it. You
12:40 just click on it. Just just a just a
12:42 hint
12:45 and it'll take you right over to the AI
12:46 salon. And you're like, Kyle, what's the
12:48 AI salon? It is a a salon. We don't do
12:53 hair. We don't do nails, but we do
12:56 ideas. And tonight's an idea night.
12:58 Tonight's the big idea night. And my big
13:00 idea tonight that we're going to talk
13:03 about for 90 minutes is that I don't
13:05 have a [ __ ] idea.
13:08 That's the big idea. And I actually do
13:11 think that's the big idea.
13:14 It's actually hard to know what to focus
13:16 on right now. Like what's the big story?
13:17 I don't know. They're all big. And when
13:20 and when everything is important,
13:22 nothing is important, right? Everyone's
13:25 overwhelmed. Everyone's bitching and
13:27 moaning. graduates are like, "Eric
13:29 Schmidt, go [ __ ] yourself with AI." So,
13:32 we're just going to talk about it all
13:33 tonight.
13:39 There are surprising number of Daisy
13:41 Thomas's in Florida. Um, Daisy, well, if
13:44 you join the AI salon, you can DM Daisy
13:47 there. Um, and uh, that's probably the
13:50 easiest way to do it. Uh, just just join
13:53 go to community.thesalon.ai,
13:54 I join and then Daisy Thomas uh just DM
13:58 her right in there. She's been under the
14:01 weather. So, um she might not get back
14:03 to you for a day or two, but
14:10 Okay, let's try out Korea 2. I posted
14:12 about it in the salon and it's free for
14:14 everyone for one week. Okay, cool. So,
14:16 I'll I'll point that out in the AI salon
14:19 once we once we start the uh once we
14:21 start the live stream. Danielle, I'll
14:23 point that out and then we'll get
14:25 talking about the big topic of the
14:27 night.
14:29 Nothing.
14:34 It's going to be so good.
15:24 Um, what else we going to do tonight? If
15:26 you have any questions about AI, you can
15:28 pop them in here now. Um, we've got five
15:31 minutes till we go live. So, this is the
15:33 AI Learning Lab pre-show. Uh, we got a
15:36 fair amount of folks on both the Tik Tok
15:38 and all these channels here. So, if
15:41 you're on LinkedIn or YouTube, go to the
15:43 description. You can click on the link
15:44 there. That'll take you straight to the
15:46 AI salon. If you're on X or uh Tik Tok,
15:50 uh, go to my profile and the link is
15:52 there. Just click on it. Just got to
15:54 click. That's it. and we will be talking
15:56 about all the stuff going on. There's
15:58 there's a lot going on. Google IO is
16:01 this week. Um Zenesk has a big event in
16:04 Denver. Brandon Tid right now is sitting
16:08 in an airport in Cleveland waiting for
16:10 the plane to get there so we can come
16:12 here. So Brandon and I are going to see
16:15 each other in person this week, which
16:16 I'm really excited about. I've never met
16:18 Brandon in person. So that's going to
16:20 happen. That I'm really, really stoked
16:23 about.
16:25 If you're in town for Zenesk, I will be
16:29 there probably more Wednesday than
16:31 Tuesday. I've got a big day tomorrow
16:33 with another organization. I do a little
16:36 consulting here and there. And when you
16:38 do consulting, sometimes they're like,
16:39 "Uh, we'd like you to come consult now."
16:42 Like, okay.
17:05 Danielle, are you finding it? I mean,
17:08 you seem to still be keeping up with the
17:10 tools decently well. Are you
17:11 overwhelmed, too? How are you doing on
17:13 that front? That's something I'm always
17:16 surprised about
17:19 is
17:20 people that can still keep up with it.
17:26 I'm going to open my window because
17:30 it has been chilly and rainy all day.
17:33 Danielle, I'm overwhelmed. Okay, good.
17:37 I'm glad. I thought every now and then I
17:41 think someone might know the secret that
17:44 that you know the secret to not being
17:46 overwhelmed with AI. There isn't a
17:48 secret. Nobody knows anything. There are
17:50 no experts. Everyone's overwhelmed.
17:52 Good.
17:54 Yeah.
17:57 Yeah. We're all trying to deal with it,
17:59 man. We're all trying to deal with it.
18:01 That's kind of that's part of what I'm
18:03 going to talk about tonight.
18:07 The the reason the reason that I think
18:09 that there's that it's really hard to to
18:12 know what to talk about right now, and
18:14 this is what I'll sort of unpack in the
18:17 next 90 minutes,
18:19 is that AI is starting to make the
18:22 transition from a tool to
18:25 infrastructure.
18:29 Infrastructure is boring. Infrastructure
18:32 is complicated. infrastructure involves
18:35 lots and lots of people, lots and lots
18:37 of layers, lots of stacks,
18:41 stacks of stuff.
18:44 And I think that's that's kind of what
18:46 the deal is right now is that
18:48 we're moving from from a mode where
18:51 where AI was this kind of singular
18:54 thing, a singular tool
18:57 to the tools becoming more and more and
18:59 more complicated to now it's starting to
19:02 move into this
19:04 functional layer. And so it's really
19:07 hard to talk about a functional layer
19:09 because it's just a functional layer.
19:10 The only thing that makes it interesting
19:12 is what you do with it.
19:14 Right? And you can't do anything with it
19:16 until you understand what the layer is.
19:18 And it's hard to understand what the
19:19 layer is because it's being invented
19:21 right now. So anyway, that's what we're
19:23 going to talk about on the AI learning
19:25 lab live, the nothingness of AI,
19:29 and that's over in the AI salon in one
19:31 minute. And I will see you over there.
19:34 Peace out.
19:36 I like the green lower thirds better
19:37 than the orange. Awesome.
