0:11 oh
0:13 [Music]
0:41 10,000 words SW around my head 10
0:44 million more in books written beneath my
0:49 [Music]
0:52 bed r

3:02 rapping you don't have words sure
3:05 everything Rhymes when it all sounds
3:08 like you
3:10 [Music]
3:13 know I mean part of the whole thing with
3:15 rapping is you know good words you know
3:17 words good you
3:21 don't he's a dog he doesn't know
3:24 words so I'm not being speciesist
3:30 [Music]
3:34 if he gets better at words he can rap I
3:35 don't mind him
3:37 rapping but he's got to get basic gra
3:40 grasp of the English language you
3:43 know what are we supposed to wait around
3:45 until AI can speak
3:47 dog oh yeah well we'll probably have
3:50 that but that's not the point
3:55 [Music]

7:44 bunch dusk
7:48 clouds get my nerve up with my past is
7:52 pulling me down that's funny Silver Fox
7:55 last night I watched an old guy with a
7:56 pink fuzzy bow in his head
8:00 [Music]
8:08 somebody told me once before he said you
8:11 can never go home
8:14 again won't you
8:16 leave say things to steer me away yeah
8:22 of the truth of who I am and what I
8:25 believe so I thanked him for his two
8:27 cents with a handshake
8:30 and some sympathy
8:33 yeah packed up my blue
8:36 jeans and headed for this big
8:40 price of my
8:44 freedom
8:45 byebye Black Sheep to the black sheep of
8:50 the
8:52 family
8:54 [Music]
8:56 byebye oh it means so very much to me
9:00 yeah
9:02 byebye Black Sheep to my friends and my
9:09 family
9:12 byebye going off and set my
9:17 soul set it
9:19 [Music]
9:27 free oh good people of The Tick Tock
9:30 good people of The Tick
9:33 Tock I actually have some some fun ideas
9:36 for tonight I don't know if they're fun
9:41 ideas we're going to dig deep into mid
9:43 Journey which I said we were going to do
9:45 last night but we're actually going to
9:46 do it
9:49 tonight and rather than just say here's
9:51 how to use this tool and just do my
9:53 normal sort
9:55 of process vomit where I just like move
9:58 really fast and do [ __ ]
10:00 I'm going to actually try to figure out
10:02 where I'm switching
10:04 modes so when we talk about
10:08 um
10:11 agility human agility the ability
10:16 to to have aptitude for generative AI it
10:20 isn't really about skills there's some
10:23 skills in
10:25 there but probably for the next 3 years
10:28 maybe the next 5 years
10:31 the real skills are not going to be I
10:33 took a course on Mid Journey the real
10:35 skills are going to be things like
10:36 critical thinking and curiosity and
10:39 adaptability and drive and and curation
10:44 and CR and uh uh taste judgment being
10:49 able to adapt right I mean imagine
10:53 imagine
10:54 getting taking a course taking a
10:56 workshop and getting really good at a
10:58 particular kind of
11:00 building a particular kind of
11:02 Automation and then a version of AI
11:05 comes out that just does that
11:06 automatically well if you're
11:10 rigid it's going to wreck you so you're
11:13 going to have to be flexible and
11:16 [Music]
11:18 adaptable and I think because of my
11:20 neuros spiciness and my ADHD I'm going
11:22 to I I kind of naturally do some of
11:25 these things so it's not natural for me
11:29 to articulate them or figure out oh
11:31 that's where I'm being creative or
11:33 curious that you know where where are
11:35 these different
11:37 modes but what I do know about
11:39 generative AI is that there's a lot of
11:42 mode switching there's a lot of
11:43 switching back and forth between right
11:46 brain left brain just [ __ ] around to
11:50 going in and actually doing things with
11:53 [Music]
11:54 intention and then there's a lot of
11:58 discernment and judg ment and taste and
12:01 curation
12:02 [Music]
12:13 [Applause]
12:15 [Music]
12:56 Freedom came away that night
13:00 [Music]
13:03 just like a jet plane in and out of
13:08 sight I was hauling ass at a million

16:43 dragon egg I got the button you can make
16:47 money with CHP I don't know if you knew
16:49 this you can make money with chat GPT
16:51 like I got this button thinking it was a
16:55 joke it's not a joke you can you can
16:56 make money what you do is you what you
16:59 say to people is you can make money with
17:01 chat gbt and then you uh sell them a
17:05 course on how they can make money with
17:07 chat GPT so you make M it's not it's not
17:11 making money with chat GPT it's making
17:13 money talking about chat it's it's it's
17:16 kind of like Tony Robbins but for chat
17:20 GPT if you just come to the one free
17:23 seminar the three-day weekend getaway is
17:26 going to change everything for you it's
17:28 just the
17:29 the $15,000 just give us the 15,000 for
17:33 the three-day seminar and you make M
17:36 it's going to be so good it's going to
17:38 be so
17:45 good so we're going to do that we can
17:47 make money with chat GPT if you
17:51 want so what I would like you to do my
17:53 name's Kyle Shannon by the way I'm a bit
17:55 of a smartass if you don't know
17:57 that that's one of the
18:00 deals sometimes I say things as if
18:02 they're
18:03 serious and it's kind of like it's a
18:09 joke I think I learned that from
18:11 Letterman back in the
18:13 day he just had that dry delivery where
18:15 we would say just stupid [ __ ] straight
18:17 to the camera
18:19 cold crack me the [ __ ] up thank you for
18:22 the joy you bring the pink bow
18:23 screenshot is in my camera roll thank
18:26 you Daisy may I don't I I could go get
18:29 the pink bow if we need to so if you
18:32 missed it last night I what are you
18:34 doing with your life you should have
18:35 been okay first of all if you don't come
18:37 here every
18:42 night that it's probably means you're
18:45 mentally stable
18:47 um if you don't come here every night
18:50 this is very Forest gumping this this
18:53 show thank you Silver Fox um it's very
18:56 gumping right life is like of chocolates
19:02 yeah never know what you're going to get
19:07 yeah last night you got pink bows you
19:10 got fat man and a pink
19:11 [Music]
19:15 bow it's kind of like you're funny
19:18 sometimes this is my theory on
19:21 Comedy um shoot every shot try to any
19:26 joke that pops in your head put it in
19:28 the world
19:30 nine out of the 10 of them will fail but
19:33 it's that 10th one man you're just going
19:35 for the buzz you're going for the
19:36 adrenaline hit I made it funny I made it
19:39 funny crack people up most of the times
19:41 I just crack myself up at how absolutely
19:44 ludicrous the attempt at comedy
19:50 was that gives me great joy the other
19:53 thing that gives me great joy is when
19:55 I'm being stupid for an extended period
19:58 of time no knowing that people are
19:59 flicking through Tik Tok and they they
20:02 stumble upon me acting like an idiot and
20:04 they're like what is what is
20:07 this that just I don't know what it is
20:10 about that that gives me I think that's
20:12 the most Joy I get on this channel is
20:14 just knowing that I'm [ __ ] with
20:15 people sometimes I haven't been doing
20:18 enough of that lately we got to get back
20:19 to
20:20 [Laughter]
20:23 that one of one of my favorites whenever
20:26 I'm trying to figure out something on
20:28 Tik Tok one of my favorites is is
20:32 uh hey hey Marge
20:35 Marge yeah hey how do I how do I know if
20:38 the Tik tok's
20:40 on so the on the
20:43 what you put you put it on the what if I
20:47 can see my face it's on I I'm right
20:51 here that me that means it oh they can
20:54 see
20:55 me
20:57 oh who are who are
21:01 they
21:08 huh you know is't that fantastic
21:11 someone's just flicking through Tik Tok
21:12 they're like oh that poor old man his
21:15 poor
21:16 [Laughter]
21:20 wife Source camp in the house we can
21:22 start now thank
21:24 [Music]
21:27 goodness Mar is always so help
21:30 I'll tell you what if it weren't for
21:31 March this channel wouldn't
21:37 exist cuz you know what it is she
21:39 volunteers down at the library she
21:41 volunteers at the library and the the
21:44 kids down there they teach her about the
21:47 Tik
21:47 Tock they they they they they teach her
21:50 phrases like on fleek she came home the
21:53 other day and she was like you know
21:54 you're on fleek and I was like how dare
21:57 you I put a bomb on
22:02 [Laughter]
22:07 that
22:13 liberry oh good
22:17 lord if you can avoid it just don't
22:21 age but listen not for nothing have you
22:24 heard about
22:26 L you going to be leving
22:30 anybody know what Lev is if you don't
22:33 know what Lev is you're going to
22:36 [Music]
22:40 die everybody's going to die
22:43 Kyle not if you hit Lev life escape
22:50 velocity that is the theory that if we
22:52 can survive the next 5 years 3 years 5
22:55 years probably more like five years
22:57 [Music]
23:00 AI will have cured
23:03 aging and I we just be like [ __ ]
23:05 zombie
23:07 vampires how old are you 132 good Lord
23:11 you don't look at day over 70
23:15 [Music]
23:28 [Applause]
23:31 two block Toms
23:35 [Music]
23:37 in I just uploaded my Consciousness to
23:39 the cloud perfect oh I'll just upload my
23:41 Consciousness to the cloud that's
23:43 actually something I'm I'm I'm deeply
23:45 fascinated in right now is the whole
23:47 idea of digital Twins and what you
23:49 choose what you choose to represent
23:51 yourself and how you represent
23:54 yourself and I know the the the digital
23:57 twins that meta just put out they kind
23:58 of look look at all your posts that
23:59 you've ever done so they create kind of
24:01 a thing that's based on you based on all
24:03 your
24:05 posts we're we're coming into some weird
24:11 times no aging almost 88 oh 8 billion
24:16 people on the planet right now ai better
24:18 figure out space travel too or we're F I
24:21 don't know weever hooked if you listen
24:22 to musk he's like you know we're not
24:24 making enough babies so we're [ __ ]
24:26 he's trying to single-handedly populate
24:28 the planet
24:29 [Music]
24:40 um they wait the something the cloud
24:42 would break if I uploaded my
24:44 Consciousness that's not true Corey
24:46 Sandler you're very sweet you would make
24:48 the the cloud a much better
24:50 place this year's X priz is a longevity
24:53 competition yeah like I the the the Lev
24:56 people are quite serious about this I
24:58 mean there's actually um a dog right now
25:03 that it was a 12-year-old dog that had
25:05 some shitty form of cancer and they gave
25:07 it this longevity pill that caps the
25:12 telr in your DNA so apparently I don't
25:15 know enough about this [ __ ] but
25:17 apparently on the end of your DNA are
25:20 these things called telr which are like
25:21 caps that keep them from unraveling and
25:23 as you age those things get shitty and
25:26 your DNA unravels and then all hell
25:28 breaks loose
25:29 well apparently they gave this dog some
25:31 [ __ ] pill that caps the telr or caps
25:34 the ends of the DNA I don't whatever the
25:35 [ __ ] it does and like revers the cancer
25:38 reverse the
25:41 aging and now it's like a pey young
25:43 spritey doggy
25:44 again
25:46 so apparently that's going into some
25:48 sort of human trial
25:50 [Music]
25:53 now it's getting weird
25:55 people so I think what we'll do tonight
25:58 we're going to talk
25:59 about the information put
26:02 out an article today on Project
26:06 strawberry also called project
26:08 Orion which Jimmy apples talked about in
26:12 November of
26:14 2023 November of
26:18 2023 do you remember that month do you
26:21 remember what happened in that
26:24 [Music]
26:26 month that was when they fired Sam Alman
26:30 [Music]
26:36 so apparently open AI has
26:39 had this reasoning engine
26:42 for some time now and I'm guessing
26:47 that's why Altman got fired
26:49 and so anyway that thing came out today
26:52 so it looks like
27:01 open AI is using this reasoning engine
27:05 to generate synthetic data to train GPT
27:09 6 so apparently they have GPT 5 they've
27:12 got this Orion strawberry qar thing
27:16 that's a reasoning
27:19 engine and apparently it's all um rather
27:23 than releasing it they're using it to
27:26 generate synthetic data so if you don't
27:29 know what synthetic data is like with
27:31 normal chat GPT they went out and they
27:34 they used all these illegal web scrapers
27:38 that just scraped all the data and they
27:40 scraped it behind pay walls and they you
27:42 know they you know all of them did this
27:45 including open Ai and so they scraped
27:47 all the data well they're running out of
27:52 data and so what they're doing is
27:54 they're making new data they're using
27:56 chat GPT with reasoning to to generate
27:59 data to train the new systems so I don't
28:01 know what the hell's going on but anyway
28:03 it sounds like fall of
28:08 24 which you know next week is Labor Day
28:11 is it Labor Day right next week's Labor
28:15 Day and then we're in the
28:19 fall so maybe in September maybe in
28:25 October we're going to get a new model
28:27 from open AI That's going to
28:30 be pretty big pretty
28:33 amazing and it's going to change a lot
28:35 going to change a
28:38 lot so that that story's got a little
28:41 bit of meat back on it because the
28:44 information is a well researched
28:48 rag
28:51 um so I don't think we need to talk more
28:53 about that cuz there's nothing really
28:54 here yet but if you're curious about it
28:57 go go look up
28:59 project Orion let me see what
29:23 the oh this is
29:26 cool hold please
29:33 okay here's what we're going to
29:36 do I'm going to change the
29:40 subject all right let me go
29:50 find what is going on
29:52 here reload
30:00 the hell is
30:09 happening I have no idea what's going on
30:11 here
30:28 close that close
30:32 that close
30:35 that go to my profile so I'm going if
30:39 you want to follow along at home please
30:41 follow along but always remember no
30:48 wagering all right so if you go to my
30:51 profile and go to my articles this is an
30:54 article that I
30:55 wrote with Kevin Clark
30:58 called rise of the agile
31:01 human and the intent of this article was
31:05 really to be for people in larger
31:09 companies to be able to identify who
31:13 within their company is going to be good
31:14 at AI at generative AI right making AI
31:19 building AI systems you know that's
31:20 still going to be engineers and things
31:22 like that but the generative AI stuff
31:24 the stuff that all of us get to play
31:26 with it who's going to be good at that
31:28 and as this stuff gets more and more
31:32 powerful and it starts to automate the
31:34 tasks of a lot of the jobs a lot of the
31:37 workers you may not need as many workers
31:41 or you might be able to make more [ __ ]
31:44 you make as a business with the same
31:46 amount of
31:49 people but if you don't need as many
31:51 people who do you
31:52 keep do you keep your most skilled
31:56 workers the ones with the skills like
32:00 copywriting and data analysis and things
32:03 like that if the AI is going to be able
32:05 to do that I don't think
32:08 so and so what this article is is
32:12 about who are the people that are going
32:15 to really do well and what's cool about
32:17 this
32:18 list is that this list of components of
32:22 being an agile human is that these are
32:25 these are learnable things some people
32:27 are more naturally like this than others
32:30 but even if you're not these are things
32:32 that you can develop and
32:35 so so the the components of
32:40 this way of
32:46 thinking curiosity is one of them are
32:50 you curious are you looking around
32:53 trying to find
32:55 stuff are you noting it are you paying
32:58 attention are you showing up to the AI
33:00 learning lab night after night why would
33:02 you do that well cuz maybe something
33:05 will show up here that you're like I
33:06 hadn't seen that holy [ __ ] that's cool
33:09 Drive is another one what motivates you
33:12 are you
33:14 motivated are you someone who
33:17 is who likes figuring [ __ ] out are you
33:20 someone that likes solving problems are
33:22 you someone that has
33:24 ambition to take things to the next
33:26 level I think that's going to be a
33:27 require
33:29 as if everything changes it's going to
33:32 be really easy to sit back and go ah
33:36 [ __ ] it I'll just let them figure it
33:40 out that's going to create a world of
33:43 hurt for people
33:45 creativity is another one are you
33:47 creative are you thinking like well how
33:49 can I how can I look at this in a
33:51 different
33:52 way critic critical thinking
34:02 right critical thinking are you thinking
34:05 about why are we doing this what are we
34:07 trying to accomplish who's the audience
34:10 here what do they
34:12 want what's our business what does it
34:16 need
34:17 right discernment
34:20 taste we already live in a world if
34:22 you've done any any kind of Creation
34:25 with generative AI any any amount of it
34:29 what you quickly realize is that you get
34:32 completely overwhelmed with the
34:34 options you get completely overwhelmed
34:37 with here's 37 drafts of that paper in
34:40 15
34:42 minutes here's 472 images all of which
34:47 could be good enough to be the cover of
34:48 your book which one do you
34:51 choose right so discernment cha uh taste
34:55 judgment
34:59 you know how how do you make good
35:00 judgment in complex
35:03 situations how do you make ethical
35:05 choices when there's no good clear path
35:08 forward do you have good judgment and
35:10 then the final one is
35:13 adaptability do you have the ability to
35:17 let it slide off your back you put two
35:20 weeks into building that automation that
35:22 all of a sudden it just is now a feature
35:25 in the large language model that you use
35:29 do you go whine and cry in the
35:33 corner nope well you
35:36 can not going to serve
35:40 you so what I thought would be cool let
35:42 me see how do I want to do this I want
35:44 to grab these
35:46 words let me just go right I'm going to
35:49 go hang hang on
35:54 people um let's do a plus
36:00 let's do
36:17 a
36:23 the
36:25 agile agile
36:32 human I'm looking for a man in finance
36:35 trust fund 65 blue
36:39 eyes the agile human
36:45 um
36:50 aptitude over skills
36:59 AP rude AP aptitude over skills so we've
37:05 got
37:12 curiosity Drive
37:15 creativity
37:18 Drive creativity I may add to these as
37:21 as we start really working through these
37:23 and exploring these critical thinking
37:33 discernment
37:42 taste oh nice s a gami thing thank you J
37:46 chillo and then adapt uh
37:52 judgment and adaptability
38:02 so if you manage
38:08 people think about who in your
38:11 organization is really scores high on
38:14 these on these
38:21 components and think who's who scores
38:25 low you may have someone sitting as an
38:28 administrative
38:30 assistant that is like world class at
38:32 these but don't have skills they didn't
38:35 they went to Junior
38:37 College they didn't study whatever the
38:40 high paying jobs are in your company but
38:43 they're really good at this
38:46 [ __ ] that would be a good person to
38:50 upskill and give them access to Ai and
38:53 put them on committees
38:58 and if you've got someone who is the
39:00 most talented at a specific skill but
39:03 actually is really shitty at a lot of
39:06 these that might be something someone
39:09 you keep an eye on
39:12 as AI evolves because if they don't move
39:15 into this space they're going to be less
39:18 and less valuable over
39:21 time and then for yourself
39:25 personally what where are you
39:28 do you have Natural Curiosity are you
39:30 constantly like oh I'd like to know that
39:32 I'd like to know that that's something
39:33 you can develop I gave an exercise two
39:36 days ago on my Tik Tok channel that was
39:38 like or was was it yesterday it was two
39:40 days
39:41 ago or maybe it was yesterday I don't
39:43 [ __ ] know doesn't
39:45 matter to go out and have a conversation
39:47 with chat GPT about a topic you know
39:50 nothing about you could do that every
39:52 day you could do that every morning Jim
39:54 Ross who's in this channel quite a bit
39:58 every morning every
40:01 morning this is this is
40:04 Drive every morning Jim Ross spends an
40:07 hour who's J chillo thank you so much
40:09 for the roses and the gifts anyone who
40:11 given me gifts thank you so much really
40:13 appreciate it
40:15 um Jim Ross every morning spends an
40:21 hour creating [ __ ] for his business
40:25 using AI
40:26 tools he he doesn't know what he's going
40:28 to
40:30 do but he does it like brushing his
40:32 teeth that's
40:36 Drive he's also super adaptable he's
40:39 also got good critical thinking skills
40:42 he's thinking like okay I need to do
40:45 some
40:46 marketing I've got these AI tools what
40:48 could I do well I don't know so he asked
40:51 chat GPT and then chat GPT gives him
40:53 options and he's he's constantly
40:55 thinking about how do I move these Lego
40:56 blocks around
40:58 so what I thought would be kind of fun
41:02 is let's do a deep dive into mid Journey
41:08 mid Journey if you don't know well if
41:11 you don't know what it is at all it's an
41:15 image generation tool and it's in my
41:17 opinion right
41:18 now still the image generation tool it's
41:22 the best of what's out there now there's
41:23 some new competition there's flux
41:28 which is an open source model that's
41:29 showing up in all sorts of tools there's
41:31 a new thing that came out today on free
41:33 pick called Mystic which is apparently a
41:35 mid Journey killer every new model that
41:37 comes out they're like this is the mid
41:39 Journey
41:40 killer but they're still going this is
41:43 the mid Journey killer right just like
41:45 everyone else is going this is almost as
41:46 good as chat
41:48 JP but it's not right well in some
41:51 things it is is good it's definitely in
41:54 some some benchmarks it is definitely
41:57 nearly as good as the chat
42:00 GPT so as long as they're being compared
42:02 to you you're you're still the leader so
42:04 people are still comparing [ __ ] to Mid
42:07 journey and mid Journey as of last
42:11 week made their website so it used to be
42:15 if you wanted to make images in mid
42:17 Journey you actually had to learn
42:20 Discord which is like
42:22 a shitty
42:25 Facebook for for Gamers and nft Bros and
42:30 you had to go into this toxic Cesspool
42:32 of
42:34 Bress and make images using command
42:38 line you'd go slash imagine and then D-
42:43 AR for aspect ratio and then 16 colon 9
42:46 you had to type [ __ ] you had to type
42:48 [ __ ] like a [ __ ] programmer to make
42:51 pretty
42:53 images and so you don't have to do that
42:55 anymore you can do it on the web now
42:57 they did have a free trial for about 3
42:59 days and then they shut that [ __ ] down
43:01 so if you want to play on Mid Journey
43:03 you do have to spend I think 10 bucks a
43:05 month is the minimum but we're going to
43:07 go play on Mid
43:11 journey and I'm going to I'm going to
43:13 keep bouncing back and forth to this
43:15 list
43:17 because I want
43:22 to I want to look at this tool in a new
43:25 light in a way that I don't normally do
43:28 I the the Reflection from that lamp is
43:31 bugging me but
43:34 whatever so I don't know if you can read
43:36 this but I'm going to have to make it a
43:37 little bit brighter so I can read it
43:39 okay so so here we are in mid Journey
43:42 the the main panel here when you when
43:44 you land on Mid Journey once you oh
43:46 let's actually you know what let me log
43:48 out of
43:50 this and let me show you something okay
43:53 when you come to Mid Journey you're
43:54 going to see this
43:58 scale AI lays off all of its contract
44:01 workers Monday interesting
44:03 fascinating thank you Mufasa
44:08 fascinating
44:10 huh okay you come here and you're like
44:14 isn't that like 1980s asy art yes that
44:17 is it and then there's like
44:20 documentation explore what happens if I
44:22 click explore okay that does take me in
44:24 there interesting all right and now I
44:26 can log in from
44:30 here and I can either continue with
44:32 Discord or continue with
44:35 Google um continue with Google unless
44:38 you have a Discord account if you have a
44:39 Discord account then you can just
44:40 authorize it with your Discord account
44:42 that's fine and then that's going to
44:44 take you into the website so you've got
44:48 your explore tab so what you're looking
44:50 at here are things that other people are
44:52 making right now so this is [ __ ] that's
44:55 being
44:56 made so you can scroll down I think any
44:58 one of these you can click on and see
45:00 details about it yeah here's the here's
45:02 the prompt of it you can like
45:05 [Applause]
45:07 it there's this says chaos 10 does that
45:11 say
45:12 chaos sorry I got to brighten things up
45:16 this says aspect ratio 34 version 6.1
45:21 stylize rating of
45:25 250 you can like it you can search for
45:28 other things here's who made
45:31 it so if you wanted to do something like
45:33 that you could actually copy there they
45:38 prompts that's pretty
45:44 slick so there's all that and then
45:47 there's
45:48 um create which is where you make your
45:52 stuff so here's images I've
45:55 made and
45:57 what's staggering about mid journey is
45:59 just the speed and the speed with which
46:04 you can make stuff but the
46:07 quality the quality of it is just just
46:13 mind-bending like look at these
46:20 things and you can take any one of these
46:22 into one of the video generation tools
46:24 and turn them into into videos
46:29 so that's that then there's an organized
46:32 tab which I have not
46:34 even ever played with so we're going to
46:37 play with
46:38 that then there's a chat area so General
46:45 chaos so I guess this is people just
46:48 sharing sharing what they've done
46:50 there's prompt crafting chat there's a
46:53 daily
46:55 theme there's an area for newbie so
46:58 these are these are chats from the from
47:00 the uh from the Discord
47:03 basically and there's
47:06 tasks where you can do image ranking and
47:09 bunch of different things
47:14 okay so let's go back to
47:17 create so the way you create in mid
47:20 journey is you have this prompt box just
47:23 like you've
47:24 got prompt stuff everywhere and then you
47:27 have this this
47:29 little uh what what are these called uh
47:33 sliders it's like a little slider icon
47:35 so you click on that and it opens up
47:37 this whole see you used to have to do
47:38 all this with code right so here's your
47:41 aspect ratio Square portrait
47:45 [Applause]
47:47 right and it even says like here's 16 by
47:49 9 there's 2 to one there's 4 to three
47:54 right so now you can just sort of slide
47:57 things around then there's stylization
48:00 which goes from 0o to a th000 there's
48:04 weirdness which goes from 0 to
48:06 3,000 and there's variety which goes
48:09 from 0 to 100 why these have different
48:14 values I don't
48:16 know um but in
48:19 general if you keep these things low
48:23 things will be more predictable if you
48:25 keep them higher they'll be less pred
48:29 predictable then you have the model that
48:32 you're in so you can switch between
48:35 different models you can go all the way
48:36 back to uh mid Journey 1 and all the way
48:41 up to 6.1 which is the
48:43 latest you can turn on personalization
48:46 you can put it in standard mode or raw
48:48 mode you can put it in different
48:52 speeds so lots of cool stuff to play
48:55 with
48:59 so back to our
49:04 attributes so curiosity like just
49:08 digging around the interface like we
49:09 were doing that's good um Drive the
49:15 there's a lot
49:17 here right there's there's a lot like
49:21 you you you scroll through all this you
49:22 click on this you see someone's
49:25 prompt there's there's buttons down here
49:28 there's buttons there there's a lot so
49:30 if you don't know what you're doing here
49:32 even with this relatively clean
49:34 interface it can be kind of intimidating
49:36 and the thing about all generative AI
49:40 is you got to come up with a
49:43 prompt right and that's [ __ ]
49:46 exhausting so you got to have some drive
49:48 to be able to do this creativity we
49:50 haven't even started that critical
49:52 thinking we haven't really gotten there
49:53 yet we're just kind of learning
49:55 discernment and taste we'll get to
49:57 judgement
49:58 adaptability so the adaptability one's
50:01 interesting if you've played around with
50:03 um if you've played around for example
50:06 with ideogram which is a really simple
50:08 interface and then you come here which
50:10 where it's more complicated and things
50:12 are in a slightly different place you
50:15 might know what you're doing but if you
50:16 want to get good at it you have to be
50:17 adaptable right so okay so let's go back
50:22 to our create tab let's go make some
50:24 images how can we do this well
50:31 one of the cool things about mid journey
50:35 is
50:37 that however they did it it seems to
50:41 understand
50:44 both complicated prompts and really
50:47 simple prompts like single word
50:53 prompts and so I can just come in here
50:55 let's see we're going to go in we'll
50:57 we'll pick an aspect ratio we'll do 16
51:00 by9 because that's most PowerPoint
51:02 presentations are 16 by9 your TV's 16 by
51:05 9 so it's a good all-around aspect
51:09 ratio and I'm just going to type in a
51:11 word here let's go pick let's go grab
51:13 one of these
51:17 words let's do
51:20 curiosity so I'm just going to use
51:23 curiosity as the prompt with nothing
51:26 else
51:30 let's see what it
51:34 does what's the
51:36 difference in your definition of
51:39 discernment and
51:40 judgment that's a really good question
51:42 discernment is more like
51:44 taste like do you have do you have good
51:47 taste judgment is more
51:52 like solving a problem um
51:58 looking looking at you know the ethics
52:01 of something things like that so one is
52:03 one is more about
52:04 curation and one is more
52:08 about
52:11 navigating navigating the space and
52:16 I I need to get more clear on those two
52:19 as I said I think I might evolve these
52:22 terms over time
52:28 because I think the difference between
52:30 taste and judgment feels more clear than
52:33 discernment and
52:34 judgment okay
52:37 so with just the word
52:41 curiosity mid Journey came up with that
52:44 that that and
52:48 that they're all kind of dark and weird
52:51 they're all kind of
52:53 cool um neat
53:00 so I'm going to show you one other thing
53:02 now if you go to
53:05 Twitter depending on who you
53:08 follow as you scroll you will see things
53:12 like
53:13 this where you
53:16 get a bunch of images in a similar style
53:20 and if you look at the the the tweet it
53:23 it usually says-- sref and then a big
53:26 long
53:27 number so the srf is a mid Journey thing
53:31 called the style reference and I think
53:33 the style reference is one of the most
53:35 powerful things in mid Journey that can
53:38 allow you
53:40 to really
53:44 explore
53:45 um what mid Journey makes possible
53:48 without having to do too much
53:52 thinking and
53:54 so I've got a site that I use called my
53:59 mind where I can if I go into Twitter
54:03 and I'm scrolling around and I find
54:04 something that I like I just copy this
54:08 link and I go into my mind and then I
54:11 paste it into this little box right here
54:14 and I hit submit and it it adds a card
54:17 to this whole long
54:20 list and so you can see here as I scroll
54:23 down through here I've got tons of these
54:25 style references in here
54:27 now like a good add person ADHD person I
54:32 dump all these in here I almost never go
54:34 back and look at them like I'm a digital
54:36 hoarder right so this is a really cool
54:39 piece of software to digital hoard in
54:42 but like there's things in here that re
54:44 are really amazing so here's one srf
54:48 5972 so I'm going to click on that I'm
54:50 going to grab that
54:52 srf and then we're going to come back to
54:55 Mid Journey
54:58 and the way this works is we're going to
54:59 do same prompt
55:04 curiosity and then I'm going to
55:09 go dash dash
55:15 sref
55:20 5972 and what this should
55:23 do is generate four images that kind
55:26 kind of look
55:28 like this
55:30 style now the thing about srfs is I
55:33 haven't played around with this enough
55:35 to know
55:37 what's sometimes these things work
55:39 brilliantly sometimes they don't work at
55:43 all that's the adaptability but they
55:46 worked pretty good look at
55:52 this curiosity that's actually a [ __ ]
55:55 killer image
56:04 brilliant that looks like curiosity
56:09 me so now let's
56:13 go I have an idea
56:16 here what's the next one drive
56:20 drive and then we're going to so one
56:22 thing you can do is if you have a
56:24 previous image pulled up and you click
56:26 on
56:27 here it says srf 5972 if I click on that
56:30 it actually adds it to my prompt so now
56:33 I'm going to do drive as a set of
56:36 images and now I'm going to do
56:43 creativity I'm going to add in that
56:46 srf going to do critical thinking
56:58 add in that
57:02 sraf we'll go
57:13 taste
57:21 judgement and adaptability
57:34 so now
57:35 here's let me let me go back to our
57:39 words here for a
57:40 second
57:42 so where I just
57:45 flipped so when we first got to Mid
57:47 journey I was kind of in curiosity mode
57:49 I was poking around all the different
57:52 things I had enough drive to go there
57:54 and stick it out even though it was kind
57:56 of
57:58 intimidating and
58:00 then I was like oh we're talking about
58:03 curiosity so I put curiosity in as a
58:05 word and that got kind of interesting
58:08 and I was like oh yeah style references
58:10 let's go look at srfs so now I'm
58:12 starting to do things
58:14 like that kind of lives in the Judgment
58:16 area right or adaptability or critical
58:19 thinking of like
58:21 okay let's see if we can make curiosity
58:25 look a specific way way and it and we
58:28 did and then and I said oh let's do all
58:31 the words and
58:33 so so what what AI is allowing me to do
58:38 is very very quickly context shift
58:41 between these different modes of
58:45 being and people who are good at AI can
58:48 switch really quickly between these
58:51 different
58:52 modes and people that are that that try
58:54 to control it or try to hem it in or or
58:58 try to make it
59:01 behave exactly like how they expect
59:03 computers to behave they get really
59:06 frustrated and they tend not to be good
59:07 at AI because AI is not behaving the way
59:11 computers have ever behaved before right
59:14 it's it's got these models have
59:17 personalities these models
59:19 have quirks about them they have
59:23 unpredictable
59:25 outcomes and so if you if you go into
59:27 this with a mindset of like a skills
59:29 mindset like I've got to learn all the
59:31 skills it can get very frustrating very
59:34 fast if you sort of surf around between
59:36 these ways of being it it can be a hell
59:39 of a lot of fun okay so let's go look at
59:42 all our
59:45 images so here's the four curiosity
59:51 images I think that one's pretty damn
59:53 good but I I think that one's the
59:55 strongest of these
59:58 that feels like a really cool curiosity
1:00:01 image so here's drive it went
1:00:06 car so that we probably need to turn
1:00:09 into ambition right here's
1:00:12 creativity love that one love that
1:00:17 one
1:00:19 fantastic this is critical thinking
1:00:28 taste food right it went to
1:00:32 Food so discernment might have been
1:00:34 better
1:00:36 there although that's taste as
1:00:41 well so that's interesting it's kind of
1:00:44 fashion so here's
1:00:47 judgment scales of
1:00:52 Justice this is adaptability
1:01:01 wild and then you know because I've got
1:01:04 all these cards saved here or I can just
1:01:07 go to Twitter the other thing you can do
1:01:09 is just go to
1:01:10 Twitter and search for sref
1:01:17 sref and just scroll till you find
1:01:20 something you
1:01:23 like boobies
1:01:27 got to move quickly past that or they
1:01:29 will cancel your
1:01:32 ass oh I like that black and white sref
1:01:36 so here's a big long s
1:01:39 ref all
1:01:43 right so let's go back to Mid
1:01:46 journey we'll do um adaptability
1:01:57 adapt
1:02:08 anity see what this looks like with the
1:02:10 new
1:02:12 thing Okay
1:02:19 so we've basically learned one
1:02:22 command and one way of using style
1:02:26 references one way of using mid Jour
1:02:29 we're not we haven't even started yet on
1:02:31 prompting for something specific right
1:02:33 now we're just kind of playing
1:02:36 right so you can imagine how quickly you
1:02:40 can blow through five or six hours or
1:02:44 five or six days or five or six weeks
1:02:47 with these tools because every AI tool
1:02:50 every song generation tool every image
1:02:53 generation tool every video tool chat G
1:02:56 PT code interpreter all the different
1:02:58 modes of chat
1:03:00 GPT um clae uh whatever they called uh
1:03:05 clouds
1:03:09 um artifacts where it can make a game
1:03:13 for you it codes the game and then lets
1:03:15 you play it right there in the window
1:03:17 every one of these tools
1:03:20 is essentially an endless number of
1:03:23 rabbit holes you can run down
1:03:27 I mean these are gorgeous look at
1:03:35 these I don't know what that
1:03:38 says I don't quite know these don't
1:03:40 don't really say adaptability to me
1:03:43 but this is where that style reference
1:03:46 got really strong now here's another
1:03:48 thing you can do
1:03:57 this is also where we go we go we go
1:03:59 back through taste you could say okay I
1:04:02 really like the aesthetic of
1:04:06 these but car is wrong right so you got
1:04:09 to fix that the aesthetic of this
1:04:11 actually feels different right that
1:04:13 feels like cutout paper that feels kind
1:04:16 of in the same neighborhood so like just
1:04:19 even just even being able to choose what
1:04:21 are the what are the images here in this
1:04:23 one style
1:04:26 that that are are
1:04:30 related here's another thing you can do
1:04:32 let's go let's do critical thinking is
1:04:35 our term critical thinking is our
1:04:39 prompt and then I'm going to go dash
1:04:42 dash
1:04:44 sref
1:04:50 random and it's just going to pick one
1:05:04 oh
1:05:05 no I just got rid of
1:05:08 myself there I am I'm
1:05:12 back can never have enough
1:05:16 me oh that's cool so that's Sr
1:05:22 whatever that's crazy
1:05:30 very Hamlet it's very
1:05:34 Hamlet
1:05:36 alas yorck I knew
1:05:44 him and then if I do critical thinking
1:05:47 let's
1:05:49 see let's see how do I do
1:05:52 this copy so do critical thing thinking
1:05:56 we're go D- srf
1:06:00 random I'm going to select all of this
1:06:02 copy it and now I'm just going to do
1:06:06 return and then I'm going to do paste
1:06:08 return paste return paste return paste
1:06:11 return so now it's going to go make a
1:06:12 whole ship pile of images about critical
1:06:15 thinking with a bunch of different
1:06:16 random style
1:06:19 references then what I'm going to do is
1:06:21 I'm going to I'm going to try something
1:06:22 new I'm going to go click over on these
1:06:25 little dials these little slider
1:06:28 buttons and I'm going to put stylization
1:06:31 up about halfway and I'm going to put
1:06:33 weirdness like
1:06:35 to 2400 we're going to get really weird
1:06:39 and then I'm going to do variety so
1:06:40 variety will change the four of them
1:06:44 weirdness I guess will just make it
1:06:46 weird it'll go farther away from the
1:06:48 prompt and then stylization I guess
1:06:51 makes it more
1:06:53 styly so now I'm going to do p
1:06:56 critical thinking s
1:07:00 referendum 3 4 5 so now I'm going to
1:07:03 have what's that 5 20 images with the
1:07:07 new sliders so so now there's a whole
1:07:11 ship
1:07:12 pile of new
1:07:14 images right so there's that one that
1:07:17 srf kind of has some '90s ' 80s 9s
1:07:22 cartoon aesthetic to it there's like the
1:07:24 80s neon Punk there's like a Japanese
1:07:29 children's book illustration
1:07:32 style that's
1:07:34 like I don't know some weird
1:07:36 illustration weird
1:07:38 illustration so let's see
1:07:41 now stylize
1:07:46 zero okay so starting
1:07:49 here is where we we put in the weirdness
1:07:52 in the high
1:07:53 style so look at the weirdness it's
1:07:55 doing there now it's giving us some
1:07:57 weird [ __ ] it's giv us some non-weird
1:07:59 [ __ ] but it's giv us weird
1:08:06 [ __ ] this is essentially with no
1:08:10 prompt and just [ __ ] with
1:08:16 stuff that's
1:08:18 cool it's all critical
1:08:23 thinking is this mid Journey Yep this is
1:08:25 mid Journey we're in the web the web
1:08:28 interface of mid Journey now look at the
1:08:31 difference so if I were doing if I were
1:08:33 doing a PowerPoint presentation for a
1:08:37 big
1:08:39 Corporation that's kind of a cool image
1:08:41 for critical thinking right that feels
1:08:44 kind of corporate it's definitely
1:08:48 safe some of these others are more Arty
1:08:51 right like that's more Arty you could
1:08:53 put that in a corporate presentation but
1:08:55 they be like I I I think I think Sam's
1:08:58 been smoking some of the wacky weed if
1:09:00 you know what I mean those images in his
1:09:02 PowerPoint presentation were
1:09:05 [Laughter]
1:09:12 crazy you see why I can't work in a
1:09:14 corporation
1:09:15 [Laughter]
1:09:21 people this is where judgment taste
1:09:24 comes in so yeah so like
1:09:29 [Applause]
1:09:32 actually taste to me taste or
1:09:37 discernment says this thing's beautiful
1:09:39 this is this is a keeper judgment says
1:09:42 they might think I'm weird in my
1:09:44 Corporation so I'm going to go with
1:09:47 something like that that's safer right
1:09:50 there's your difference between taste
1:09:51 and judgment
1:10:03 now we haven't even gotten
1:10:05 into now that we now we go find an image
1:10:08 that we like let's go find an image that
1:10:10 we
1:10:12 like that one's kind of
1:10:14 cool sort of looks like a
1:10:18 face love that
1:10:23 one restricted for some audiences I
1:10:26 don't know what did I just say live
1:10:28 visibility is
1:10:34 restricted what did I say
1:10:37 anyone I I just I can't
1:10:41 win I think discern discernment is
1:10:43 sorting things out this is such and such
1:10:46 I think judgment is saying
1:10:49 it's nothing maybe the brains I don't
1:10:52 know smoking Maybe is it because I just
1:10:56 got in here way to go Becky way to go
1:10:59 Becky you know we were doing fine in
1:11:02 here you show up and the thing gets
1:11:07 restricted you are lost in ADHD time and
1:11:11 space it's Becky's fault yeah listen
1:11:15 it's this is Judgment here's what's
1:11:17 important in Corporate America figure
1:11:19 out whose fault it is make sure that
1:11:21 they get the blame and you don't okay
1:11:24 these are the lessons we learned
1:11:26 [Laughter]
1:11:29 here but we love Becky anyway wacky
1:11:32 Becky okay um so let's let me go find an
1:11:38 image here that one's kind of cool isn't
1:11:41 it what's in
1:11:44 those I think I want this
1:11:47 image I think that that image speaks to
1:11:51 me okay now in mid Journey let me see if
1:11:55 if I can make these bigger so you can
1:11:57 see
1:11:58 them there are creation actions oh and I
1:12:02 just hit one of
1:12:04 them more options can I give myself more
1:12:08 options oh remix pan Zoom oh that's
1:12:12 cool Zoom pan oh this is so cool I'm
1:12:16 going to turn all these
1:12:19 on Okay so we've got that's not the
1:12:23 image we wanted is it no
1:12:26 that is that's our
1:12:29 image so you've got very
1:12:32 upscale
1:12:35 remix pan
1:12:41 Zoom rerun editor so you can actually
1:12:44 edit mid Journey images and then use an
1:12:47 images style or a prompt on
1:12:53 it oh I said Sam is smoking the wacky
1:12:56 weed seriously Tick Tock Sam is smoking
1:13:00 the wacky weed gets gets us age
1:13:05 restricted God [ __ ]
1:13:11 really all right Becky it wasn't your
1:13:15 fault I said wacky
1:13:17 [Laughter]
1:13:23 weed okay
1:13:27 the image that mid Journey creates is is
1:13:30 a small
1:13:31 image um but you can upscale it which is
1:13:34 cool but you can also do all sorts of
1:13:37 other things so one thing is I can vary
1:13:40 it so I can say I want variations of
1:13:42 this image and I can either vary them
1:13:44 subtly like maybe there's just something
1:13:46 about it I don't quite like and I want
1:13:48 to see subtle changes no honey I don't
1:13:51 want to eat right now I'm busy watching
1:13:52 a guy fiddle with UI settings sure
1:13:58 um or I can say very strong so if I
1:14:01 click on that and I jump back out to
1:14:08 create it's making four new images now
1:14:10 that are going to be variations of our
1:14:13 of our
1:14:21 lady that one's got sort of cool things
1:14:23 in the background here but I don't like
1:14:25 the composition hate that don't like
1:14:29 that none of these are as good fine so
1:14:32 then you learn so here's here's a
1:14:35 discernment
1:14:38 moment um then you can say upscale
1:14:41 creative or subtle so upscale creative
1:14:43 is generally what I use so that's now
1:14:45 going to make a bigger version of this
1:14:48 um you can remix it you can pan left and
1:14:52 right you can zoom out so if I zoom out
1:14:55 one
1:14:56 1.5 we should see all over head we'll
1:14:59 see more image around this
1:15:06 image so here's our upscaled version
1:15:09 being
1:15:11 created I think this is our zoom
1:15:14 out yeah so now you see we've got Sky
1:15:17 over the top of her head
1:15:40 oh all these have a cool City in the
1:15:42 background did the
1:15:43 original sort of but not really you
1:15:45 couldn't see it as much that's
1:15:47 fascinating this one there's a city here
1:15:50 but because it kind of goes off the edge
1:15:52 you don't see it as a city where as this
1:15:57 one because it added this on the outside
1:16:00 you kind of see it as a distinct thing
1:16:02 here it draws your eye there so that's
1:16:04 pretty
1:16:06 cool so let's say we find one of these
1:16:08 we really like I like this one and now I
1:16:13 can upscale This One upscale
1:16:17 creative and go back out and now that's
1:16:20 going to make a high-res version of that
1:16:22 one
1:16:30 so going back to this little this little
1:16:43 list we're kind of flipping between all
1:16:45 of these very very quickly with
1:16:48 generative
1:16:49 Ai and and and I'm just using like the
1:16:54 the barely scratching the surface of a
1:16:56 single tool
1:16:59 here now imagine say let's start in chat
1:17:03 GPT then we'll come over to Mid journey
1:17:05 and make images then we'll go over to
1:17:07 this thing and make a song then we'll go
1:17:08 over to that thing and make a video out
1:17:10 of it then we'll go back to PowerPoint
1:17:13 and add some of those things into the
1:17:14 PowerPoint then we'll go back to chat
1:17:18 gbt our ability to
1:17:21 quickly context switch between modes of
1:17:27 how we're acting and which of these
1:17:29 aptitudes we're we're digging
1:17:35 into is the
1:17:42 skill so
1:17:47 anyway so there's our final
1:17:50 image let's download this bad boy
1:18:06 oh see that's not a city it's
1:18:09 trees we could actually go fix
1:18:17 that but that's pretty amazing like
1:18:20 that's pretty pretty
1:18:22 something from nothing no no real
1:18:25 prompting a little bit of
1:18:30 knowledge a lot
1:18:32 of curiosity and drive and adaptability
1:18:36 and creativity
1:18:39 and and if anyone tells you that AI art
1:18:43 is an
1:18:44 art think about the amount of input and
1:18:47 creativity that that went into that even
1:18:50 though we're not generating the images
1:18:52 themselves figuring out how to generate
1:18:54 the image
1:18:56 figuring out you know creating a bunch
1:18:58 of stuff and then figuring out what in
1:19:00 that looks like what you have in your
1:19:02 head or that that resonates with you a
1:19:06 whole lot of Kyle and his help so
1:19:08 grateful ULU RX I didn't see you last
1:19:11 night thank you so much for the gifts I
1:19:14 minoxidil this morning I pink scalped I
1:19:19 don't know if you saw me in my in my
1:19:21 pink bow last night but if you did not
1:19:23 you missed a very special site but thank
1:19:27 you very much for all of that very very
1:19:29 generous of you I really appreciate
1:19:32 it you're you're very cool Mel I
1:19:34 appreciate it a
1:19:36 lot um all right let me let me back out
1:19:39 of this now let's just talk so tell
1:19:43 me a was that useful B any insights I'd
1:19:48 love to hear if there's any insights see
1:19:51 Kyle don't ever do that again that's
1:19:52 fine I'll take that feedback too
1:19:56 oh
1:19:58 man there's plenty of evidence of Kyle
1:20:01 in the pink bow I'll go get the [ __ ]
1:20:02 pink bow right now you know what since
1:20:04 Mel's
1:20:05 here can't be take care of them
1:20:35 all
1:20:37 right time to get serious silver [ __ ]
1:20:41 kept me up to date we were working sorry
1:20:43 I missed
1:20:45 it you're so welcome and thank you
1:20:48 anyway look at so first of all look how
1:20:51 it brings the hair to life you
1:20:53 know okay
1:20:55 so mid Journey we made this lovely
1:20:58 high-res image
1:21:01 here
1:21:06 with maximal
1:21:09 creativity minimal input that's one of
1:21:12 the one of the
1:21:17 magic one of the pieces of magic of
1:21:21 generative AI is you put in this much
1:21:23 effort and you get get out this much
1:21:27 value again one of the things that makes
1:21:29 me happy in my life is
1:21:32 knowing that someone's going to be
1:21:33 scrolling through Tik Tok and see this
1:21:36 and go what the [ __ ] is
1:21:38 [Laughter]
1:21:43 that oh man I got a virtual speaking gig
1:21:47 I'm thinking visuals equals distraction
1:21:50 I don't use them on stage thoughts I go
1:21:53 visuals I go the other direction
1:21:55 I put up visuals like that I usually put
1:21:57 a word or two not a lot of words just
1:22:00 more visuals but that's it's that's
1:22:03 that's definitely a taste thing if if
1:22:06 you find visuals distracting I
1:22:08 would I would not use
1:22:13 them uh
1:22:17 uhuh all right thoughts you need a pink
1:22:21 fuzzy robe too I'm gonna get a pink
1:22:23 fuzzy manini
1:22:27 can you do one with an existing image do
1:22:30 one
1:22:32 what can I I don't know what you mean
1:22:35 can I do one with an existing image can
1:22:37 I do a mid Journey thing with an
1:22:39 existing
1:22:41 image you can you can marry different
1:22:44 images together I can show you how to do
1:22:50 that all
1:22:53 right uh um I wish there was an option
1:22:56 in mid journey to base an image on an
1:22:59 existing one if that makes sense I think
1:23:00 you can I I'm not super good at this Dr
1:23:04 J in here is actually better at this
1:23:06 than I
1:23:07 am but let's go back out so we're going
1:23:09 to go to create so I'm back out on the
1:23:11 create thing so there's this image thing
1:23:14 right
1:23:16 here and
1:23:18 so these are images that I've uploaded
1:23:25 let's say we
1:23:28 grab this one and there's three
1:23:31 different modes that you can put it in
1:23:33 let me see if I can make this
1:23:36 bigger so there's image mode there's
1:23:40 style mode and then there's character
1:23:43 reference so if I put a person in here
1:23:46 and I use character reference then it'll
1:23:49 be a character reference if I use style
1:23:52 it'll take the style of this and if if I
1:23:54 use image it it'll take this basic image
1:23:57 and then let's see see if I say
1:24:01 um um
1:24:04 plane flying
1:24:10 through
1:24:13 a Barren
1:24:19 landscape we'll see what it
1:24:22 does this is where experimenting with
1:24:24 this stuff's really important I also
1:24:26 have my settings really weird here I
1:24:29 have my weird setting really high and my
1:24:32 style eyes is really high so let me go
1:24:35 lower
1:24:36 those so there's my settings there I'm
1:24:39 going to lower those a lower
1:24:43 variety and then we're going to do the
1:24:45 same thing I'm going get that same
1:24:47 image put that there and then we're
1:24:50 going to grab plain
1:24:58 plane flying through a Barren
1:25:03 landscape but you'll notice now I've
1:25:06 kind of
1:25:08 remixed the original into these things
1:25:11 that have the plane flying
1:25:14 through the
1:25:17 space you can also let's see what it
1:25:20 does with when I lowered the
1:25:23 weirdness yeah they're more con
1:25:24 consistent they're more consistently
1:25:26 like that original so here's the
1:25:30 original can I see this there's the
1:25:37 original so they're in the hood they
1:25:39 changed the style a
1:25:40 bit but now what I could also do is I
1:25:44 could make this the style reference and
1:25:48 then I could add another
1:25:51 image of let's say
1:25:55 this
1:25:56 one so this is sort of like this brain
1:25:59 thing but let's say I want the style of
1:26:00 this one but the the composition of that
1:26:03 one I'd say
1:26:05 um
1:26:07 brain
1:26:12 floating or brain
1:26:16 suspended and I don't even know I
1:26:18 probably don't even need to put a prompt
1:26:20 in there to be quite
1:26:22 honest so this should give me the style
1:26:25 of this
1:26:30 guy and
1:26:32 the you know look and feel of that
1:26:42 [Music]
1:26:43 guy and yeah looks like looks like we're
1:26:46 in the
1:26:51 neighborhood crazy right
1:26:55 Bonas I tell you
1:27:01 Bonas so it's picked up the color
1:27:03 palette it's picked up some of the
1:27:06 gradients little bit of the
1:27:08 style there's also you can do style
1:27:11 weights there's there's just the like
1:27:13 like I said the thing with mid journey
1:27:15 is because it's been around for
1:27:19 years there are you can go deep deep
1:27:22 deep with any one of these but what I
1:27:24 would what I what I would encourage you
1:27:26 to do this is this is why one of the
1:27:28 things that we talk talk about in the a
1:27:30 salon is play first play with these
1:27:33 tools kick kick the tires don't don't
1:27:36 get too precious about feeling like you
1:27:40 have to learn everything I like honestly
1:27:43 I I I feel like with single word prompts
1:27:48 and srf random or just picking a style
1:27:51 reference from
1:27:52 Twitter you could probably spend a month
1:27:56 in mid journey and do nothing else but
1:27:58 that and come up with remarkable work
1:28:02 remarkable
1:28:04 work so you know so imagine if you
1:28:07 wanted to dig deep with with any one of
1:28:09 these AI tools you can skim the surface
1:28:11 and get really interesting results or
1:28:13 you can really dive deep in them
1:28:15 question please do you think GPT would
1:28:19 be cryptocurrency and should we invest
1:28:23 in it
1:28:26 um GPT is not
1:28:29 cryptocurrency
1:28:31 worldcoin is Sam alman's cryptocurrency
1:28:36 for Universal basic income and World ID
1:28:39 is a is basically an nft that an nft
1:28:43 based identity system for human
1:28:47 verification
1:28:49 um I don't know if that's going to be
1:28:51 the winner
1:28:52 but they were out there
1:29:03 first did that help with mid Journey
1:29:06 there's mid journey goes
1:29:08 deep goes deep deep
1:29:11 dip is everything on Mid Journey public
1:29:14 yes and
1:29:16 no you can create your own if you go to
1:29:20 Discord if you're a Discord fan you can
1:29:22 you can add mid journey into a private
1:29:24 channel that you've got on your own
1:29:26 Discord server and then no one will see
1:29:28 your stuff but but I
1:29:32 think you have to pay 60 bucks a month
1:29:34 you have it's the third tier
1:29:36 subscription with mid Journey before you
1:29:38 can actually make your ship private but
1:29:41 if you want to make your ship private
1:29:42 you can you just got to pay for
1:29:46 it excellent we love the mid Journey Jam
1:29:52 fantastic i f have to figure out what
1:29:55 platform they're
1:30:00 using purple is the color so that's a
1:30:02 good
1:30:05 idea look at me playing with
1:30:08 my I'm going to have so many hairs
1:30:11 sprouting out of here it's going to be
1:30:12 like a whole another being going be like
1:30:15 hey what's happening
1:30:22 hello my hair was
1:30:25 particularly weird today it's Al it's
1:30:28 fine
1:30:30 tonight all day today I kept seeing
1:30:33 myself on camera
1:30:34 [Laughter]
1:30:42 going um what do you want to do what do
1:30:46 you want to talk
1:30:47 about what time is it is it
1:30:49 time got a few minutes 15 minutes
1:30:52 something like that
1:31:18 oops that's a pretty cool image
1:31:25 LTX contest I don't know anything about
1:31:29 it Brandon I didn't pay I didn't pay
1:31:31 enough attention to it
1:31:34 so it I think it when's the deadline
1:31:36 it's the deadline today data analytics
1:31:39 programs what's new in that World um I
1:31:43 don't know Mel
1:31:47 um on data analytics it's probably
1:31:52 worth playing around with Claude
1:31:58 um but I think I think the data
1:32:01 analytics that's in chat GPT is
1:32:04 still is still your best bet but I don't
1:32:07 know I haven't played around with that
1:32:08 stuff in a
1:32:09 while extended details in Irregulars
1:32:13 okay
1:32:14 so if you're new
1:32:17 here you
1:32:22 should where's my
1:32:28 you should go check
1:32:29 out the
1:32:33 salon so if you go to the
1:32:36 salon. right

1:32:45 little bit there's a button that says
1:32:46 join our community and if you go to the
1:32:49 AI Salon
1:32:52 community and you join that
1:32:55 it's a whole community of AI optimists
1:32:58 people that are trying to figure this
1:33:00 stuff out I just came from a group
1:33:03 called AI Camp how did I not know about
1:33:06 this before I don't know with you with a
1:33:09 name like yours like why you didn't come
1:33:12 up with AI camp with a K you missed it
1:33:16 you missed it Kelly that's just that's
1:33:18 just disappointing what can I say that's
1:33:21 just that was so obvious it was right
1:33:23 there it was right there it was
1:33:26 literally like on a paper plate at a
1:33:28 barbecue all you had to do is pick it up
1:33:31 like a burger and snack on
1:33:33 it very disappointing very disappointing
1:33:40 anyway we pick on her because we love
1:33:43 [Laughter]
1:33:46 her um so if you jump over here to the
1:33:52 salon you you'll notice that there's a
1:33:55 little six-step get started sequence and
1:33:59 the first one is check out about the
1:34:01 salon read about
1:34:03 the journey to AI literacy play first
1:34:06 mindfully create generously lead then
1:34:09 the second step number two most
1:34:12 important thing when you get here
1:34:13 introduce yourself jump into the
1:34:16 introduce yourself Channel introduce
1:34:19 yourself then read about our values then
1:34:22 you can catch up on past meeting see see
1:34:24 what we've been up to what we're about
1:34:27 you can RSV RSVP for the next event and
1:34:31 then you can go check out the water
1:34:32 cooler where you can just talk about
1:34:35 [ __ ] so that's that's getting started
1:34:37 and then there's all sorts of things
1:34:38 there's a community section there's
1:34:40 showand tell area there are guilds for
1:34:43 creativity business technology and
1:34:45 social impact and there are also clubs
1:34:48 so one of the clubs is AI life hacks
1:34:50 with Brandon and Claire who are in here
1:34:53 tonight and then one one of them is AI
1:34:55 learning lab Irregulars this is a little
1:34:57 Club just for us and so you can hop in
1:35:01 here oh that's cool
1:35:03 rediscovered we got an old GPT I made
1:35:07 called
1:35:08 animal gamate
1:35:11 nice oh that's
1:35:15 beautiful
1:35:20 albear mid Journey 6.1 prompt C it Sr
1:35:25 beautiful look at
1:35:33 that I mean you
1:35:36 know here's another thing whenever
1:35:40 anyone tells you that AI can't be
1:35:42 creative because it's just a cold
1:35:43 probability engine and it's just
1:35:45 predicting the next token and there can
1:35:47 be nothing creative about
1:35:49 that horeshit
1:35:54 if I thought about if I thought about
1:35:56 doing a business presentation
1:36:00 right and I thought about what images
1:36:03 could I use for the for the phrase
1:36:05 curiosity thanks for walking us through
1:36:07 that Kyle you're
1:36:10 welcome I would go to all the C cliche
1:36:13 [ __ ] like as a human I would just go
1:36:16 okay curiosity it should be a light bulb
1:36:18 and right you do and then you go to like
1:36:22 Google and you do an image search for
1:36:24 curiosity and then you click on the
1:36:25 images tab and what everyone has done
1:36:28 for all of time when they want to talk
1:36:30 about curiosity or ideas is they do a
1:36:32 light
1:36:34 bulb thanks Thomas
1:36:38 Edison imagine if you took an extra 3
1:36:43 minutes if you knew about this tool
1:36:46 called mid Journey rather than going and
1:36:48 looking for stock
1:36:50 photos you went and you just [ __ ]
1:36:53 around with style refer refences until
1:36:54 until you found a style you
1:36:56 liked and then you end up with an image
1:36:59 like this for the word
1:37:02 curiosity you tell me that's not
1:37:08 creative I think that's pretty
1:37:11 staggering and and imagine having
1:37:14 similarly Creative
1:37:16 Images for all those other words but in
1:37:19 this really cool black and white
1:37:21 style keep scrolling LOL
1:37:26 mid Journey chat was General chaos
1:37:29 that's
1:37:30 beautiful
1:37:36 SpaceX oh
1:37:38 [Laughter]
1:37:42 Lordy yeah there's me my pink
1:37:44 [Laughter]
1:37:49 robe gorgeous gorgeous I tell you
1:37:56 it's beamus it's
1:37:59 beamus I found out another AI image
1:38:02 generator that's pretty good and it's
1:38:04 free right now is that that what's it
1:38:06 called it's called Uh loud
1:38:10 me or lwd me it's supposed to be it's
1:38:14 loud me
1:38:19 [Applause]
1:38:25 how do I get back oh those are my sound
1:38:26 effects how do I get back to my
1:38:29 music we've updated our website please
1:38:32 refresh wen't you
1:38:36 fancy oh they did upate their
1:38:42 website through the shadows of an
1:38:46 endless and
1:38:48 feel searching for The Whispers of what
1:38:53 the heart
1:38:57 so this
1:38:59 is this is a song about AI so I wrote
1:39:02 The Prompt is male singing A Soulful
1:39:05 Americana singer songwriter song in the
1:39:07 style of Martin ston about a man
1:39:09 exploring the latent space and
1:39:12 discovering the collective intelligence
1:39:14 of humanity so it it totally missed on
1:39:17 the man singing part but it's actually a
1:39:20 really good song and it's it's singing
1:39:22 about the Laten space so I'll just I'll
1:39:24 just let it
1:39:25 [Music]
1:39:30 play
1:39:33 conceals in the quiet of the Twilight
1:39:38 where the ancient stor
1:39:41 rest found myself a spark of Light
1:39:45 Within the world's
1:39:50 P found the
1:39:52 [Music]
1:39:54 every mind has
1:39:57 one in the
1:40:01 silent
1:40:03 [Music]
1:40:07 tears voices of the
1:40:11 ages dancing and
1:40:15 moving Every Soul
1:40:18 conting the spaces deep
1:40:22 within the echo
1:40:25 so that's loud me so it sounds sounds
1:40:27 kind of likeo um it also does sound
1:40:30 effects and it's all free right now
1:40:33 so all right absolutely stunning what
1:40:37 was absolutely
1:40:40 stunning I can't stop looking at it what
1:40:43 are you looking at
1:40:46 Mel it's
1:40:49 Curative loud me. a yep
1:40:56 my image oh I know it's it's it's
1:41:06 amazing for
1:41:12 curiosity can I make that
1:41:14 bigger
1:41:16 no how do I original image oh there we
1:41:20 go
1:41:35 yeah I I
1:41:45 mean mid journey is just Bonkers isn't
1:41:48 it mid Journey images are so rich with
1:41:51 layers and layers of texture and color
1:41:53 and character they really
1:41:57 are there's just something about
1:41:59 whatever whatever they did in building
1:42:03 their training sets or whatever they did
1:42:05 in the magic [ __ ] prompting they're
1:42:07 doing on the back
1:42:08 end there's just something different
1:42:11 about how these images hit and let me
1:42:13 tell you something when mid Journey
1:42:16 comes out with video where you can turn
1:42:18 any mid Journey image into a video
1:42:20 natively within mid
1:42:22 Journey they're going to mop the floor
1:42:24 with the
1:42:31 competition I also think they stand the
1:42:33 highest risk of getting their asses sued
1:42:35 from here to
1:42:39 Oblivion but you know that's a whole
1:42:41 different
1:42:45 conversation but yeah that
1:42:47 image representing curiosity is just
1:42:50 [ __ ] brilliant it's so good
1:42:58 is video in the works for Mid Journey
1:42:59 apparently it is yes not Curative but a
1:43:03 cure a live curated
1:43:06 creative you know the other thing that
1:43:09 I'll show you so we we went to Mid
1:43:12 journey and we went through all that um
1:43:15 you know we all that we went through a
1:43:18 handful of interface items a handful of
1:43:20 features like we didn't even begin to
1:43:23 scratch the surface I showed this the
1:43:25 other night but this is this site is
1:43:29 deoh here.
1:43:32 a and if you go
1:43:38 to Deco
1:43:41 here and click on the explore tab at the
1:43:44 top this is another way to explore image
1:43:52 generation after Edition is multitasking
1:43:55 that's a that's a good one Corey let me
1:43:58 add that
1:44:27 I'm also going to put in here horizontal
1:44:29 thinking
1:44:34 which I might do an updated version of
1:44:36 this article once I figure out what what
1:44:39 these aptitudes are what these
1:44:42 components are um anyway back to Deco
1:44:47 here so what you're actually looking at
1:44:50 right here is this is not dissimilar to
1:44:53 what we saw in mid Journey where this is
1:44:56 a site that can make images they're not
1:44:58 as good as mid Journeys you can see
1:45:00 they've got a bit more of a illustration
1:45:02 kind of feel to
1:45:03 them
1:45:07 um but you don't need to do any
1:45:09 prompting on this site so I can say oh I
1:45:12 like this owl with a
1:45:14 saxophone and they've got this feature
1:45:16 called create station and if I click on
1:45:18 create station what it's going to do is
1:45:20 it's going to take that image as the
1:45:22 seed
1:45:23 and then it's going to create this new
1:45:24 channel where all of the images
1:45:27 generated here are based
1:45:29 on that
1:45:34 image and so now I just sit back and I
1:45:38 watch and if I'm generating characters
1:45:41 here's a bunch of characters coming in
1:45:43 oh there's a cool cat oh here's a
1:45:46 witch oh there's a
1:45:51 goddess here's a cool tree with a dude
1:45:55 contemplating life in the Wisdom Tree
1:45:58 hey an
1:46:03 Murphy and I can share this station with
1:46:07 you and you could come see all these
1:46:09 same images and we could like a a way
1:46:13 that you could collaborate with a
1:46:15 creative
1:46:17 team is just to keep jumping into these
1:46:20 images and turning each one into a new
1:46:23 station
1:46:24 and just keep running down creative
1:46:26 rabbit holes without
1:46:29 thinking passive
1:46:34 creativity [ __ ]
1:46:48 Bonkers look at that you're trying to
1:46:51 come up with a concept for
1:46:54 some kids book you're putting together
1:46:56 for
1:47:01 presentation basically what you're doing
1:47:03 when you're tapping into tools like
1:47:05 these
1:47:07 is you know the the the critics to this
1:47:10 AI stuff are like a they thie that's all
1:47:13 that's you know that's someone else's IP
1:47:15 well it's it's an
1:47:17 amalgamation of like all the IP
1:47:24 it's not dissimilar to how our brains
1:47:26 work right you go to school so that you
1:47:29 ingest all these different concepts all
1:47:32 these different ideas if I go to school
1:47:34 and all I study is pop art from the
1:47:37 1980s Keith Herring and Andy Warhol and
1:47:40 lonstein and all those
1:47:42 guys the art that I'm going to make is
1:47:45 going to be inspired by that because
1:47:47 that's what I put into my latent space
1:47:50 into my Cranium cranium
1:47:55 and so these tools have been trained on
1:47:56 like all of
1:48:00 it and so if I want to just pop back out
1:48:04 to the explore tab okay here's a cool
1:48:06 machine Let's create a station for
1:48:15 that now we're getting all sorts of
1:48:17 weird wacky ass machines
1:48:25 but I'm not doing a sci-fi film so screw
1:48:28 that I'll go out and I'll say I want a
1:48:31 shitty car let's create a station out of
1:48:34 the shitty
1:48:37 car the economy
1:48:39 [Laughter]
1:48:42 Mercedes and I have no idea what this
1:48:46 prompt could possibly be that's got
1:48:48 anime girls and cars and monsters it's
1:48:51 bizarre
1:48:53 so go back
1:48:59 out create station out of her
1:49:13 [Music]
1:49:23 raw authenticity yeah collective
1:49:26 intelligence
1:49:28 um yeah it's weird
1:49:36 it's the way I think about all of these
1:49:40 models whether it's chat GPT or the
1:49:42 image models or the video
1:49:46 models think about a
1:49:50 library like if you've ever been to New
1:49:52 York City at the the the main Public
1:49:55 Library on 5th Avenue in 42nd
1:49:59 Street it is a staggeringly powerful
1:50:03 building and the amount of knowledge
1:50:06 that it represents is
1:50:09 insane one of my favorite things to do
1:50:11 when I lived in New York City one of my
1:50:13 favorite things to do was to go into the
1:50:16 the reading room at the New York City
1:50:19 Public Library which was like Cathedral
1:50:22 like
1:50:24 and just sit in that room and do work
1:50:26 work on a screenplay or you know work on
1:50:29 if I was if I was doing a play you know
1:50:32 learn my lines in there cuz you were
1:50:35 surrounded you were immersed in all this
1:50:40 knowledge but
1:50:43 what's what's funny is you were not
1:50:46 immersed in all that knowledge what you
1:50:48 were immersed
1:50:50 in was the potential for
1:50:54 knowledge right if you went to the
1:50:56 library enough and if you read enough of
1:50:58 the books and got them into your gray
1:51:02 matter it would turn from information
1:51:04 into
1:51:07 knowledge what machine learning has done
1:51:11 with these generative AI models based on
1:51:14 the
1:51:15 Transformer is it's actually taken the
1:51:19 knowledge of the world and compressed it
1:51:23 into a thing that lets us access it
1:51:27 instantly whatever we want in the
1:51:33 moment that's [ __ ]
1:51:36 staggering if you think about what a
1:51:38 library is and and over thousands of
1:51:43 years how you got [ __ ] out of the
1:51:46 library and into your head took
1:51:51 decades if you were really committed to
1:51:54 it you could pick one topic and read a
1:51:59 book a week on that topic for the rest
1:52:01 of your life and you get really good at
1:52:03 that one
1:52:07 topic and
1:52:17 now I can hop into chat GPT
1:52:27 I'd like you to educate me on an ancient
1:52:31 civilization that is completely obscure
1:52:33 that I will have never heard of so give
1:52:35 me five
1:52:42 options response one obscure ancient
1:52:46 civilizations date August 28th
1:52:49 2024 here are five obscure ancient
1:52:52 civilizations that are lesser known and
1:52:54 might pique your interest elmite
1:52:56 civilization 2700 to 539 BCE situated in
1:53:01 what is now Southwestern Iran the ele
1:53:05 right so I could pick one of those
1:53:07 obscure civilizations and in the next 15
1:53:10 minutes be completely educated on that I
1:53:14 could visualize it I could probably find
1:53:18 musical genres and Inspirations from
1:53:21 That civilization
1:53:23 probably generate music that's similar
1:53:26 to that
1:53:28 music I could make videos that bring
1:53:30 that Civilization to
1:53:36 life how long would that take in the
1:53:38 library like would you even do
1:53:41 it maybe if you were a
1:53:45 anthropologist and you were really into
1:53:47 it now we can just
1:53:49 casually interact with
1:53:54 stuff that right now is at the level of
1:53:56 like maybe a bachelor you know college
1:53:59 student or a high school student makes a
1:54:01 lot of mistakes but within the next 3
1:54:04 months when when this project Orion the
1:54:07 strawberry reasoning engine from open AI
1:54:10 comes
1:54:12 out we're going to have the equivalent
1:54:15 of PhD level expertise at any [ __ ]
1:54:19 thing we want to learn about or anything
1:54:21 we want to do or interact with
1:54:30 so if if I look at generative AI on that
1:54:34 scale on a Humanity
1:54:38 scale
1:54:40 [Applause]
1:54:44 the the rage and angst of you know they
1:54:48 took my art and didn't pay me for it I
1:54:52 understand it I understand the
1:54:54 frustration but the greater good here is
1:54:57 so
1:54:59 significantly more profound than any of
1:55:01 the individual pieces of it and if you
1:55:04 understand how the technology actually
1:55:05 works the individual pieces cease to
1:55:09 exist you can reconstruct things that
1:55:11 are kind of like
1:55:13 [Applause]
1:55:20 them just bonkers
1:55:32 Bonkers I I say this a lot and I don't
1:55:35 think I say it enough do you
1:55:39 get how [ __ ] astounding it is that
1:55:42 we're alive at this moment in
1:55:48 history this is this is literally like
1:55:51 being alive
1:55:53 when they rolled out the first printing
1:55:56 press and like all of your buddies were
1:56:00 monks that spent
1:56:03 years carefully learning how to draw
1:56:06 letters in perfect alignment so that
1:56:08 they could write out the
1:56:12 Bible then someone rolls out this giant
1:56:17 machine that perfectly prints page after
1:56:21 page after page
1:56:24 of the Bible what took a monk a year to
1:56:28 do could now be
1:56:32 recreated in a
1:56:39 week or imagine seeing the first tractor
1:56:43 when all you know are
1:56:45 horses and you know everything there is
1:56:47 to know about farming with
1:56:50 horses and someone rolls this giant
1:56:53 metal machine loud stinky
1:56:59 machine and you actually look at it and
1:57:02 you actually go holy
1:57:05 [ __ ] we're not going to need horses to
1:57:07 do this anymore and all the horse people
1:57:10 are like how dare you you [ __ ]
1:57:13 [ __ ] you
1:57:14 heretic no horses that's my livelihood
1:57:19 [Applause]
1:57:23 we get to be here when this is
1:57:32 happening
1:57:37 staggering and there's people that are
1:57:40 you know sitting back crossing their
1:57:42 arms well it's not you know it's not
1:57:44 ethical it's not this it's not that
1:57:56 and like I don't disagree but even if
1:57:58 they're
1:58:00 right it's not going away it's not going
1:58:04 away so you might as well jump in the
1:58:08 water's
1:58:21 fine
1:58:32 crazy zero prompting Singularity is near
1:58:35 it
1:58:37 is tonight was great a true learning lab
1:58:41 night thank you
1:58:44 Janu is this that same Deco here Channel
1:58:47 I've I've I've created like four
1:58:49 different stations I see something I
1:58:51 like and I I just
1:58:56 but I mean this
1:59:00 is I mean we're creating original images
1:59:04 right
1:59:05 now
1:59:07 [Laughter]
1:59:17 passively we're going to be the last
1:59:19 pure humans this Century we are Cosmic
1:59:22 Love
1:59:23 ever I appreciated you showing the
1:59:25 station. navigation thanks yeah you're
1:59:27 welcome yeah it's it's Deco here. but
1:59:31 the the feature is called
1:59:33 stations like a radio station it just
1:59:36 it's just playing the you know it's
1:59:38 playing the well in this case it's
1:59:40 actually generating the songs or the the
1:59:48 pictures so imagine the music version of
1:59:51 this you could actually do this right
1:59:53 now if assuming that udio or um sunno
1:59:57 has an
1:59:59 API you could create a radio
2:00:04 station an app that's that's a radio
2:00:08 station that just generates original
2:00:10 music and so all day you're just
2:00:13 listening to
2:00:14 music yeah exactly ULU exactly Mel it's
2:00:19 like given a style of music rap hip-hop
2:00:21 Etc
2:00:23 I want to show Deco here to my neighbor
2:00:24 who manages copyrights for the Dallas
2:00:26 Museum of Art yeah
2:00:31 exactly quite
2:00:33 frankly imagine a room in in the museum
2:00:37 Source camp that is 20
2:00:41 screens of Deco
2:00:44 here so you get you get an
2:00:46 artist or like this channel here's what
2:00:49 you pitch to them Source Camp pitch to
2:00:52 your friend at the Dallas Art
2:00:54 Museum give us a room with 20 monitors
2:00:58 in it 20 big ass
2:01:00 monitors and a and a projection
2:01:04 wall and this community is going to
2:01:06 curate 20
2:01:10 stations
2:01:12 and this exhibit is just going to be
2:01:14 these
2:01:15 rolling original images and by every
2:01:19 monitor is a big QR code and where the
2:01:23 QR code takes you is to that
2:01:25 station and so I as a viewer can now say
2:01:29 oh I love this panel of Art and I can
2:01:33 tap into that station and then I can
2:01:36 start making my own stations based on
2:01:39 the art from the
2:01:42 museum decco here DJs exactly an Murphy
2:01:49 exactly yeah you can change you can
2:01:51 change out the who who the DJs once a
2:01:54 month you change out the DJ and the DJ
2:01:57 comes in and curates a whole new set of
2:01:58 these
2:02:04 things why the [ __ ]
2:02:07 not you know if anything a museum should
2:02:10 be exploring the [ __ ] out of this
2:02:28 turn that into the
2:02:42 station you know you could
2:02:46 also if you go to the create mode in
2:02:49 Deco
2:02:50 here you can just roll the the
2:02:53 dice and it instantly
2:02:56 generates images based on whatever the
2:02:59 prompt
2:03:00 is so you could you can type
2:03:04 prompts but you can also
2:03:07 just roll the
2:03:09 dice and I don't have a paid
2:03:11 subscription right now but if you have a
2:03:12 paid subscription you can turn any of
2:03:15 these images into a station so I could
2:03:18 literally just sit here you could do
2:03:20 this in real time you know what would be
2:03:21 amazing source Camp you do that room you
2:03:24 you could that room could have different
2:03:26 modes one mode could be high art right
2:03:29 where it's you know you bring in a real
2:03:31 artist and this and that you could have
2:03:32 a mode in that you could in that same
2:03:34 room do a children's day where the
2:03:36 children get to come in and they get to
2:03:38 roll the dice on prompts and say oh I
2:03:42 like this let's turn that into so one of
2:03:43 the screens gets you know a station
2:03:46 based on these doggy images and then
2:03:49 they just keep rolling the dice and
2:03:50 there's shrimp Pizza
2:03:52 there's there's that's boring and that's
2:03:55 fine but whatever that's kind of
2:03:57 interesting but next okay that's good I
2:04:00 like
2:04:01 that so let's just go yeah let's let's
2:04:05 create a station based on
2:04:10 that the Museum of AI history in this
2:04:13 Wing is our six finger collection from
2:04:15 the early 223s exactly Brandon exactly
2:04:32 just [ __ ]
2:04:33 experience this AI [ __ ] just experience
2:04:37 it everyone f [ __ ] pontificating
2:04:41 about the validity of it is it art is it
2:04:45 this is it that is it theft is it
2:04:47 plagiarism [ __ ] use
2:04:50 it it's not going
2:05:04 away I'm doing no prompt engineering
2:05:06 here by the way none I'm rolling the
2:05:09 dice I'm literally rolling the dice
2:05:28 imagine if you
2:05:35 tried what this stuff makes possible is
2:05:38 just anyway all right enough blabbing
2:05:41 I've been
2:05:47 blabbing you're welcome look at that
2:05:49 hair good Lord that's gorgeous
2:05:52 Mel you still in here huh your product
2:05:56 is working look at good Lord that's
2:05:59 fantastic [ __ ]
2:06:05 awesome looks looks like something a
2:06:08 climber would be intimidated
2:06:16 by oh my
2:06:20 Lord all right
2:06:22 let's let's let's get a little more
2:06:25 serious here shall
2:06:29 we by the way Mel these these uh these
2:06:32 headbands very
2:06:43 toasty the pink bunny so cut see it's a
2:06:48 winter item it is this is this would be
2:06:52 good for winter right it's it's not good
2:06:54 for right
2:06:55 now you need to put that on every night
2:06:58 for Romper Room all right let's get out
2:06:59 of here all right that's good so if you
2:07:03 enjoyed tonight follow my channel
2:07:05 subscribe to the lives those support me
2:07:08 directly
2:07:10 um what you can do to support
2:07:13 yourself and to support this
2:07:16 community let me get these back on is
2:07:20 join the AI salon
2:07:37 join the
2:07:38 salon the salon.
2:07:42 A and keep coming back here night after
2:07:45 night you're like well why would I do
2:07:48 that you're wearing a [ __ ] pink bow
2:07:49 you goddamn weirdo
2:07:52 [Laughter]
2:07:55 because it's not about
2:07:57 me it's about this
2:08:02 community it's about all of
2:08:05 us trying to figure
2:08:10 out what are we going to
2:08:13 do what are we going to do with our
2:08:15 lives what are we going to
2:08:19 do in the time that this Channel's exist
2:08:22 Ed The Staggering Improvement of just
2:08:27 image generation models like the fact
2:08:29 that we could that Deco here thing where
2:08:32 I'm literally rolling the dice and it's
2:08:34 just spinning up new Concepts or I'm you
2:08:38 know picking an image out of the
2:08:39 cascading images that other people are
2:08:41 creating and I just pick one and I say
2:08:43 turn that into a station for
2:08:46 me a year ago that would have been like
2:08:49 that's not possible creating one image
2:08:52 takes 2 minutes and then it took 30
2:08:56 seconds and now it's like real time as
2:08:59 you're typing the prompt it's generating
2:09:01 the
2:09:03 image and you look at Mid Journey which
2:09:05 went from crazy ass [ __ ] up faces
2:09:08 weird ass hands
2:09:10 to
2:09:20 um that it
2:09:24 image Claire's
2:09:28 curiosity curiosity hippie
2:09:36 chick look like in a
2:09:41 year sometime in the next 3 months open
2:09:45 AI is going to
2:09:47 drop something that
2:09:50 changes everything
2:09:54 where these AI tools go from E they're
2:09:57 kind of janky and they kind of don't
2:09:58 work to it's going to
2:10:05 reason and then I think it'll be quickly
2:10:07 followed by agentic Behavior where it
2:10:10 can not only reason but it can take
2:10:12 action on your behalf what do we do in
2:10:15 that world I don't know like I don't
2:10:17 have a [ __ ] clue I can barely get my
2:10:20 head around me mid
2:10:24 journey I can barely get my head around
2:10:26 chat
2:10:28 gp4 and I [ __ ] think about this [ __ ]
2:10:34 247 I I can barely process it so why you
2:10:38 show up here why you join the AI
2:10:43 Salon is because no one's going to be
2:10:46 able to figure this out on their own
2:10:48 we're all going to have to collaborate
2:10:50 we're all going to have to help each
2:10:52 other we're all going to have to like go
2:10:54 yeah this is important we actually need
2:10:56 this stuff we actually need to look at
2:10:58 it this way and that way and don't be
2:11:00 afraid of it
2:11:01 but respect
2:11:04 it like a table saw have you ever used a
2:11:08 table
2:11:09 saw incredibly powerful tools they're
2:11:12 scary as [ __ ] they will take your finger
2:11:16 off you got to respect
2:11:19 them and then learn how to use them and
2:11:21 it'll change your life in woodworking
2:11:25 well that's these
2:11:27 things
2:11:30 with all of the brainy
2:11:33 [Laughter]
2:11:34 work all of
2:11:37 it and then once these things get into
2:11:40 robots which 20 [ __ ] companies are
2:11:42 working
2:11:45 on and have
2:11:48 reasoning then it's going to start doing
2:11:50 the physical labor
2:11:52 what are we going to do I don't [ __ ]
2:11:54 know but I'll tell you what I would much
2:11:57 rather be in this community trying to
2:11:58 figure it out together than on my own
2:12:00 just going uh this is kind of weird what
2:12:02 a uh I guess I probably should have paid
2:12:05 attention to that a couple of years ago
2:12:07 huh like I don't want to be that guy I
2:12:10 don't want any of you to be that
2:12:18 guy anyway all right
2:12:23 let's get out of
2:12:25 here

2:12:40 just bought an AI exoskeleton technology
2:12:42 is going to help so many people I I'm
2:12:44 telling you man like the the amount of
2:12:48 accessibility that the world is about to
2:12:52 it's just going to be
2:12:54 like I don't want to use the word gifted
2:12:56 but it's effectively being gifted on the
2:12:59 world just accessibility from sight to
2:13:03 speech to Mobility to memories to
2:13:10 loneliness staggering staggering stuff
2:13:12 coming all right see now I got myself
