Description
In this May 2023 livestream, I discuss the massive job displacement on the horizon from AI and automation. While profound changes are ahead that could decimate workforces, I share an optimistic perspective. With access to powerful new tools, displaced workers can gain skills, start businesses and build technology themselves. Rather than resist progress, embracing it with intention allows us to guide AI toward human-centric outcomes over profit-driven ones. There will be difficult transitions, but if people get curious and learn now, many new opportunities will emerge. What are your thoughts on the coming workforce impacts of AI? Let me know in the comments!

0:02 all right and we're live let them know 0:06 we're live 0:17 [Music] 0:20 hello hello 0:22 I am Kyle Shannon this day I learning 0:25 left my hair is crazier tonight than it 0:26 was last night and last night was 0:28 special 0:29 hey everybody 0:31 how are you doing I am live 0:34 talking about Ai and apparently hair 0:37 care product which I am in need of 0:41 yeah this is like two toupees got in a 0:44 fight and I lost 0:47 um yeah if uh if you want to talk about 0:50 AI some interesting stuff happened today 0:53 um stability AI launched a 0:57 um 0:59 a new image model that does text so you 1:02 can put in text it's called exit called 1:06 uh I forget hold 1:09 I can figure this out I have the 1:11 technology deep Floyd how could you 1:13 forget that 1:15 deep Floyd let's go look at Deep Floyd 1:19 deep Floyd is this new image model that 1:25 um 1:26 we will accept their cookies 1:29 High degree of photorealism the ability 1:32 to do text so 1:34 check out these things 1:37 am I cool 1:38 can I make that bigger 1:40 make Floyd deep again so it is 1:44 successfully doing text on images 1:48 um so that's out that's out in developer 1:52 release so it's on hugging face and it's 1:55 on GitHub and I'm sure it'll be rolled 1:58 into other tools incredibly quickly like 2:00 everything else is 2:02 um so that happened and then what else 2:05 did we have happened today we had uh 2:08 Timothy 2:11 what's his last name 2:13 was it Timothy 2:16 um let's see Godfather of AI god father 2:19 of AI 2:23 um 2:25 yeah Timothy Hinton or Jeffrey Hinton 2:28 Jeffrey Hinton 2:30 um is the guy that basically invented a 2:33 lot of the neural net uh things he won 2:36 the Turing test in 2018 for his work on 2:38 artificial intelligence he quit Google 2:41 today so that he can spend more time 2:44 warning the world of the dangers of the 2:47 stuff he created 2:50 um so yeah that's a little terrifying 2:52 but uh yeah quit Google indeed indeed if 2:55 you have any questions feel free to ask 2:58 um any questions you have about AI I'm 3:00 happy to talk about AI That's What We Do 3:02 here it's the AI learning lab 3:05 um I I'm particularly interested in 3:08 generative AI I'm also particularly 3:10 interested in um 3:12 practical uses of it like actually 3:14 applying this stuff getting curious 3:16 about it I think that 3:18 the amount of disruption that AI is 3:20 going to cause is going to be 3:21 significant IBM today announced I think 3:25 it's over five years they're they're 3:27 going to reduce 7 500 jobs or 7 600 jobs 3:32 and replace them with AI now 3:35 coming from IBM they 3:39 um 3:40 you know they made a lot of fanfare 3:42 about Watson AI a bunch of years ago and 3:44 it didn't go so well 3:46 um so 3:48 that one feels to me like like a 3:51 marketing push as much as anything like 3:53 Hey we're good at AI too and we're going 3:55 to replace a bunch of jobs but I think 3:56 it's 3:57 um I think it's kind of against their 3:59 brand 4:00 um are we headed toward Matrix level 4:02 event 4:03 um I I don't think well some would argue 4:06 we're already in a matrix 4:08 um so we're already in a simulation uh I 4:12 don't I don't believe that but you know 4:13 you know I I suppose time travel is 4:16 possible all that sort of stuff I don't 4:17 think we're in a matrix situation 4:19 anytime soon but I do think 4:23 I think that we're you know 4:25 if you look at some of the plugins like 4:28 like uh 4:30 um stability or open AI today launched a 4:34 plug-in called code interpreter let me 4:37 go check this out 4:39 um open AI code interpreter 4:45 that is astonishing 4:48 um let me see if I can find it code 4:50 interpreter 4:52 here's the thing is this one of these 4:54 has a movie 4:57 this is it 5:00 yeah this is it here 5:03 um 5:04 it um 5:07 you can upload 100 megabyte spreadsheet 5:10 file and it basically becomes a data 5:12 analyst not a tool that a data analyst 5:15 would use you can upload a massive 5:17 spreadsheet of data and then just say 5:20 what's interesting about this data and 5:22 it will tell you and then you can say 5:23 make me charts of the most interesting 5:26 Trends you see comparing this that and 5:28 the other and it will just do that for 5:30 you it'll write python code to generate 5:32 the charts and graphs 5:35 um it's just remarkable so here let me 5:37 make this bigger 5:39 there it is drawing a graph 5:43 is it still playing I think it's still 5:45 playing oh yeah 5:47 and then plot a tangent to the line 5:50 and it's calculating 5:53 and it wrote the code so there's your 5:55 tangent to the line so so 5:58 this the 6:00 SE tools are just getting so remarkably 6:04 um they're getting so remarkably 6:06 sophisticated in such a short amount of 6:08 time that things are just going crazy 6:11 let's see what questions can I answer AI 6:14 is the future yes I agree 6:17 um 6:18 robot robot robot robot yeah lots of 6:20 robots the agents are gonna be our 6:22 friends 6:24 we hope 6:25 uh I don't think we're headed to a 6:27 matrix style event at least not in the 6:29 next 10 years the next 10 years are 6:30 going to be fun and interesting but 6:33 incredibly disruptive 6:36 um I need to figure out how to start 6:38 monetizing chat gbt any ideas talk to 6:41 chat GPT about that seriously tell chat 6:43 GPT to act like an entrepreneur and 6:48 um 6:49 and tell it 6:51 your skills tell it what you're 6:53 passionate about 6:55 tell it what you want it to do 6:58 um 6:59 and and have it come up with business 7:01 ideas for you and then start asking a 7:04 question here's a good way you can 7:05 interact with chat GPT is almost treat 7:08 it like a co-founder if if you want to 7:10 start making money with chat GPT use 7:12 chatgpt as your co-founder tell it what 7:14 you're interested in tell it what you're 7:16 good at have it do the stuff you're not 7:18 good at have it come up with ideas for 7:20 you and then why don't you become the 7:22 agent of chatgpt rather than the other 7:25 way around and and just start doing what 7:27 it tells you to do and see Siri end up 7:30 um am I excited about elon's x-corp um I 7:33 I'm a little cynical about it just 7:35 because 7:36 he's so competitive with open AI he 7:38 doesn't like where Sam Altman's taking 7:41 um uh open Ai and chat GPT so he signs 7:46 on to this 7:48 um six-month pause letter that you know 7:50 a bunch of Industry luminaries signed on 7:53 to and 7:56 um and then a week later he starts x dot 7:58 Ai and has 10 000 gpus delivered to 8:01 Twitter headquarters so he can start 8:02 building his own model so I'm a little 8:05 cynical about it um he's just 8:07 competitive 8:08 um he however is a guy that gets things 8:10 done and he builds things right he's 8:11 building rockets that are going to fly 8:13 to Mars if you saw the the Starship 8:16 launch it was truly remarkable and you 8:18 know he's kind of single-handedly made 8:20 electric cars a reality so the guy can 8:23 get stuff done so I have no doubt that 8:26 he's going to turn x dot AI into 8:29 something but he's going to be 8:32 fairly far behind 8:34 um the development curve and he's 8:37 probably going to be 8:38 you know one of 8:41 what feels like six or seven major 8:43 players and and those always Whittle 8:45 down to three 8:47 um I think open AI because they've got 8:48 such a head start and their Tech is so 8:50 good and I and I actually believe Sam 8:52 Altman is a really good CEO um I think 8:55 they're going to be there you know 8:56 Microsoft is gonna is gonna back them so 8:58 let's let's roll those two together so 9:00 the Microsoft open AI thing 9:02 that lives as one competitor Google's 9:04 certainly going to be a competitor 9:06 um AWS because they've got Amazon 9:09 because they've got AWS and they're 9:11 going to roll all these multiple models 9:12 into it it's going to be a player you've 9:14 got hugging Face is Going to Be a Player 9:17 you've got stability is going to be a 9:19 player you've got Apple who hasn't 9:21 really announced anything yet and then 9:22 you've got x dot AI so that's I think 9:24 seven that I just went through right 9:26 there so 9:27 um going to be interesting to see but I 9:29 wouldn't underestimate musk I mean the 9:31 man's a flipping machine he might be a 9:34 machine maybe he's a robot maybe Elon 9:37 Musk is the ultimate AI 9:40 um let's see 9:42 I like GPT hustles I don't know what 9:44 that is 9:46 but I assume that's a oh GPT hustles 9:49 that's probably for the for the person 9:50 that was starting a business yeah 9:52 there's I'm sure so if you if you know 9:55 um McKenzie Bose who's got a channel 9:57 here on Tick Tock um he's got that 10:00 company 10:01 um GPT boss where you hire virtual 10:03 employees that are all chat Bots that he 10:05 sort of pre-pre-prompted to be really 10:08 good at their particular tasks so if you 10:10 want to start something you could use 10:11 that as well 10:13 uh we're in a system within a man 10:15 systems meta is a system with a demand 10:17 system further from the source I don't 10:19 know what that means but okay 10:23 um copyright issues yes copyright issues 10:25 are going to be a [ __ ] disaster 10:29 um let's see where are we we got a lot 10:30 of questions tonight hey everybody hope 10:32 you're doing well copyright issues 10:34 effects on data sets I have already 10:36 noticed this myself well yeah so so 10:40 um 10:41 a lot of the early models were just 10:43 trained you know you might call it 10:45 irresponsibly but I would say they were 10:47 just trained in in kind of a scrappy way 10:50 they just got them out there and I think 10:51 it's one of the reason 10:52 um stability open sourced all of their 10:55 image models because I have a feeling 10:56 that they had a sneaky suspicion they 10:58 they knew they were going to get sued 11:00 and and even if they get shut down 11:02 because of these lawsuits their models 11:04 are now open sourced I think they did 11:05 that for a reason and then you look at a 11:07 company like Adobe and adobe's Firefly 11:10 they trained all their models on open 11:12 source uh photography or or images and 11:17 um or images they had the rights to 11:19 because of adobe stock right so the 11:22 whole thing that adobe is putting 11:23 together is they're putting together a 11:25 safer commercial training set I talked 11:27 to a buddy of mine that works at Delight 11:29 digital uh today and and you know 11:33 they're not going to use image 11:36 generation models that are going to 11:38 potentially get them or their clients in 11:40 trouble they're just not going to do it 11:41 but Adobe comes along and they make it 11:43 safe to do generative AI image 11:46 generation and copy generation and 11:48 whatever you know film editing uh video 11:51 generation big corporations are going to 11:54 use it so I think I think we'll start to 11:55 see lots and lots of models there will 11:57 be wild west open source models that 12:00 have all the stolen stuff there will be 12:02 you know open Ai and stability will cut 12:05 deals with the big stock houses 12:06 ultimately 12:08 um and and I think all the attribution 12:10 stuff is going to be dealt with and all 12:12 the compensation stuff is going to be 12:13 dealt with but it's going to take years 12:15 so yeah crazy crazy stuff 12:19 um text to video Auto GPA Auto GPT and 12:23 AGI yeah those those are some of the 12:26 biggies 12:27 um the text to video is it's I mean it's 12:32 remarkable if you saw the Bud Light 12:33 commercial and the Pizza commercial that 12:35 were done with the text to video stuff I 12:37 mean it's limited to three second Clips 12:39 right now which is why all those 12:40 commercials have the funny clips and 12:42 then if you look at the jaws of people 12:44 as they're chewing the pizza uh it's 12:47 disturbing right but if you look at 12:50 where image generation was a year ago 12:52 and where it is today 12:54 that's what's going to happen with video 12:56 generation so you'll start to see 10 12:59 second clips and then 20 second clips 13:00 and then you know continuous scenes and 13:03 and you'll start to see improvements in 13:05 continuity of Jaws and things like that 13:07 so that's going to get way better Auto 13:09 GPT if you don't know that stuff is the 13:11 the autonomous agents so this is uh 13:15 a series of tools strung together that 13:19 you give it a goal 13:20 and you say for example I don't know go 13:23 find me the revenue of my top 10 13:25 competitors and find me all of their 13:28 taglines and come up with a marketing 13:30 plan to you know go after them in the 13:33 marketplace or something like that you 13:34 give it you basically just give it a go 13:35 it then assigns itself it uses chat EPT 13:39 to write itself tasks and then it goes 13:41 and does those tasks it says I need to 13:43 go search on Google for this and I need 13:46 to go to Wolfram Alpha to do that math 13:48 and I need to 13:49 give it a open AI to you know come up 13:53 with the words whatever it is and and 13:55 they're autonomous agents they just go 13:56 now the thing about Auto GPT it got to a 14:00 hundred thousand stars on GitHub in a 14:02 remarkably shorter amount of time three 14:04 weeks or something like that 14:06 it's only been around for five weeks so 14:08 this is brand brand new technology and 14:10 it doesn't work all that well it crashes 14:12 most of the time 14:14 um and then AGI it seems like these 14:17 autonomous agents the ability for large 14:20 language models to use tools 14:23 um and then to to take action on behalf 14:26 of you 14:27 um starts to take us in a direction 14:29 toward AGI and if you read the Microsoft 14:33 paper there's a Microsoft paper out uh 14:35 analyzing 14:37 um the results of gpt4 queries and that 14:40 talks about it is showing signs early 14:43 signs of AGI the problem with AGI I said 14:46 this last night is that there's not a 14:49 very clear definition of it nobody 14:51 really knows what it means it basically 14:53 means they get way smarter than we are I 14:55 would argue that these things are 14:56 already pretty much smarter than we are 14:58 even though they hallucinate a lot and 15:00 are not all that accurate they're pretty 15:03 remarkable biggest difference from free 15:05 and paid version of chat GPT okay so if 15:07 you pay the 20 bucks 15:10 um I think you get on faster servers so 15:11 I think it's faster the the 3.5 uh EBT 15:15 3.5 I'm on plus and it's really really 15:18 fast 15:20 and then 15:21 um you also get access to gpt4 15:25 and if you sign up for their wait lists 15:28 for plugins and things like that I think 15:30 if you're on a paid thing you'll 15:31 probably get preferential treatment but 15:33 I'm on their waitlist I have access to 15:34 some plugins but not the ones I want 15:36 there's some new ones that came out that 15:38 I don't have access to and that's making 15:39 me cranky 15:41 um however 15:43 um poe.com is free there's also an IOS 15:46 app and an Android app for Poe that's 15:49 created by quora and um 15:52 that gives you access to gpt3 3.5 15:55 gpt4 and anthropics Claude model that 16:00 Poe you can also do your own chat Bots I 16:03 did some chat Bots 16:04 um I did a bunch of historical figures 16:06 like um if you go to poe.com poe.com I 16:10 am Shakespeare that's a Shakespeare bot 16:12 I did and then I did I am Steve Jobs and 16:15 I did I am Emily Dickinson and I am 16:18 Virginia Woolf there's a bunch of them 16:20 that I did 16:21 um so that's Poe and then also bing.com 16:24 if you knew use the new edge browser 16:26 it's got chat GPT built into it it's 16:30 based on gpt4 so with Bing and with Poe 16:33 you can use gpt4 for free so you don't 16:36 have to do the paid 16:38 version of of chat GPT from openai I'm 16:41 doing it just because they're the ones 16:43 that created the technology and I want 16:45 to have access as soon as possible I use 16:47 chat GPT all the time so yeah 16:50 um 16:51 it blew up and is an environmental 16:53 disaster I don't know what blew up and 16:55 it's an environmental disaster 16:57 we will figure it out I assume I end up 16:59 staring at the screen because I can't 17:01 think of what to type okay that's a 17:02 great great question it's not really a 17:04 question it's a statement but 17:06 here's the thing that made the biggest 17:08 difference for me I totally have the 17:09 same thing I sit in front of a tool that 17:12 can do anything and I'm like what do you 17:14 type and you know you can only type make 17:15 me an Eminem rap so many times it's good 17:18 at that by the way or write me a song so 17:20 many times here here's what I recommend 17:22 I I created a thing 17:24 um a few months back called the 2023 17:26 smart challenge 17:28 and what it is is you pick two projects 17:31 one for you personally 17:33 and one for your business your community 17:36 or your family 17:38 and use chatgpt to do that project so 17:42 the project for you personally might be 17:44 come up with a training program you know 17:48 get yourself in shape and have chat GPT 17:50 be your Fitness coach uh if it's 17:52 something for work 17:53 um I don't know maybe maybe solve a 17:55 problem maybe someone wants to hire a 17:57 writer and and uh you say hey let me 18:00 give it a shot with chat GPT pick a 18:03 specific project and solve the problem 18:04 with chat GPT that's when that's when I 18:09 really discovered the power of it 18:11 because when I was just using it kind of 18:12 like a a fancy Google search engine it 18:15 was just I kept going like what's the 18:17 point what's the point and the minute I 18:19 put it towards solving a problem for 18:21 someone else or a specific thing for 18:24 myself then it became easy then then 18:25 you're just sort of seeing if you can 18:27 get the answers to the problem so that's 18:28 I would strongly recommend doing that 18:32 um what I call chat GPT and AI well it's 18:34 machine learning I think AI is a 18:37 uh how would I Define ai and machine 18:40 learning yeah I mean these are all 18:42 machine learning artificial intelligence 18:43 AGI again the definitions of all that 18:47 stuff is incredibly imprecise right now 18:49 I I don't really think it matters all 18:52 that much what we call it AI is easy to 18:55 say and easy to remember and easy for 18:58 people to 19:00 at least conceptually get their heads 19:02 around right they've heard about AI in 19:04 the movies which is why most people's 19:06 default is the robots are going to kill 19:08 us right because the movies told us that 19:11 the robots are going to kill us 19:12 um I don't think the robots are going to 19:14 kill us I also think that 19:17 individual contributions right now 19:20 people that use these AI tools early we 19:23 are early right now we're very early I 19:25 think are going to have a 19:26 disproportionate positive impact on the 19:29 future direction of AI 19:31 um I think if we sit back and wait for 19:33 it there's a much higher chance that 19:35 that the the evil Bots will do their 19:38 worst or bad people with AI I mean 19:40 that's an interesting thing about AI is 19:43 that the AI isn't 19:45 um 19:47 the stuff 19:48 these tools aren't prompting themselves 19:51 human beings with intention are using 19:53 these tools to do lots and lots of 19:55 things 19:56 um and so when when someone says oh AI 20:00 made that art no an artist who went in 20:03 and figured out what to ask for and did 20:05 it you know a thousand times before they 20:08 came up with something they liked you 20:09 know the the art is in the intention 20:12 very similar to when cameras first came 20:15 out 20:16 um traditional artists said that's not 20:18 art you know the the box is making the 20:20 image people aren't making the image it 20:21 took a lot of years decades for people 20:23 to recognize that composing the shot and 20:27 the lens you choose and the film that 20:29 you use and the um dark room techniques 20:32 to develop the film that you used 20:35 is the intention of the artist right so 20:38 even though technically the camera makes 20:40 the art in a film camera it is the 20:43 photographer that is the intention 20:46 behind it I feel exactly the same way 20:47 about this AI stuff 20:49 Twitter's data will train the best AI 20:52 well I mean that's that's the thing I 20:53 mean Elon has he's he's going to build 20:56 this this AI system and he's got all the 20:58 Twitter data 21:00 um I I don't know if it'll do the best 21:02 AI it will certainly be interesting AI 21:05 Bard Bard is 21:07 um is Google's 21:10 um tool it's not as good as chat CPT in 21:12 my experience 21:13 um I still think gpt4 is by far the best 21:16 thing out there that I've used 21:18 let's see 21:20 um 21:22 no free auto GPT yeah I think Auto GPT 21:24 is free just go to uh go to GitHub and 21:27 it's it's on there as is baby AGI 21:30 there's a bunch of those things now 21:32 um you need you need 21:36 um 21:36 API keys for open AI so you probably 21:39 need a paid open AI account and then you 21:43 need 21:44 um you need an API key for Pinecone 21:46 database for the Lang chain part of Auto 21:48 GPT so so you probably need some 21:51 licenses in there but it's it's not like 21:53 you have to pay for it the the overhead 21:55 with auto GPT and all these other things 21:57 is you you need to be decent enough at 21:58 coding to put them together but again 22:00 you can have chat GPT help you do that 22:02 I'm going to go broke trying to figure 22:04 out what program to use totally I there 22:07 there are so many 10 and 7 and 20 dollar 22:09 monthly subscriptions now I I've kind of 22:12 I've kind of really backed off I think 22:13 there's going to be thousands of tools 22:15 that are based on this stuff so I'm just 22:17 sort of looking at my core models right 22:19 so open AI gpt3 3.5 and 4. 22:24 um 22:25 um I think the anthropic model is really 22:27 interesting Claude um so I'm paying 22:29 attention to that 22:31 um I am paying for image generation 22:32 because mid journey in my opinion is by 22:35 far the best image generation tool and I 22:37 want to use that but you can install 22:39 stable diffusion on a Google collab 22:42 server 22:44 um I think you might need to do 10 bucks 22:46 a month for that I'm but I'm just kind 22:48 of limiting it to image generation and 22:51 word generation right now and I'm not 22:53 straying too far beyond that because 22:55 there's going to be so many pieces of 22:57 crap software out there trying to get 22:58 our money it is it's really um confusing 23:01 right now 23:03 um cheers hello cheers to you too what 23:05 the hell happened to your hair I know 23:06 right Jesus Lord look at this look at 23:08 this I don't know I don't know I don't 23:10 know I guess the glue broke 23:14 it's uh 23:15 it's shiny 23:17 uh 23:20 yo swell let's see wow there's a lot of 23:23 questions tonight thank you this is 23:24 awesome 23:25 uh I'm on okay Jesus I can't keep up I 23:29 can't keep up sorry I'm going back I'm 23:30 trying to catch up to where I was GPT 23:32 Hustlers thank you for a little heart uh 23:35 we're in a system uh yeah that's oh I 23:38 went way back too far 23:40 okay hold on hold please 23:44 um Elon is a massive database to tap 23:46 from Tesla is a database by itself yeah 23:48 all the driving data it's got to be 23:50 absolutely remarkable 23:52 um yeah I mean listen elon's gonna do 23:55 something really interesting with AI 23:56 don't get me wrong I just think it was 23:58 it was a bit of a cynical move to start 24:00 that company a week after he called for 24:02 a six-month delay in in in AI 24:05 development 24:07 um I heard that stable diffusion was 24:09 running out of money doesn't surprise me 24:11 they're in lawsuits right now 24:14 um I think I think they are open 24:16 sourcing their technology because they 24:18 they recognize they might not be long 24:20 for this world as a company just because 24:22 all the lawsuits 24:24 um AI Tech in the hands of bad actor 24:26 Nations yeah um that's going to happen 24:28 and and uh I mean you know the scary 24:32 news is that bad actors are going to do 24:34 you know they've got these incredibly 24:35 powerful tools they're going to do 24:37 things with 24:38 um but the white hats also have access 24:40 to these tools so I think the good and 24:41 bad Wars keep happening 24:44 um and 24:45 um they've just got more powerful tools 24:47 I'm just trying to keep my head below 24:49 All The Sensational nonsense you know if 24:52 someone takes out a nuclear plant or you 24:55 know blow something up 24:57 um then I think you'll see people panic 24:59 but until then I'm just keeping my head 25:01 down trying to do work and find 25:03 interesting things to do beginner work 25:06 resources for new swes I don't know what 25:09 an swe is sweet uh so I don't know what 25:12 that means so if you 25:14 re-ask that 25:16 um and actual literature or book 25:18 recommendations nothing written right 25:20 now like things are changing so fast 25:24 um 25:24 like just follow Twitter you know find 25:27 people on Twitter that you like follow 25:29 Twitter channels that you or Tick Tock 25:31 channels that you like of people that 25:32 are that are talking about this stuff um 25:34 Rachel what's Rachel's last name is it 25:36 brown 25:38 um 25:39 um McKenzie Bose if you're a little more 25:41 technical he talks about his development 25:43 process 25:45 um Paul rateser with the AI marketing 25:47 institute's really good he's really 25:49 smart really up on this stuff and he's 25:51 been at this thing for five years he's 25:52 been talking about this generative AI 25:54 stuff for like five years 25:56 um he's really good so there's nothing 25:59 to read right now there's no experts 26:00 right this stuff's changing so fast Auto 26:02 GPT is five weeks old right so you know 26:05 what the [ __ ] happened to your hair it's 26:07 a mess neural link will turn me into an 26:09 AI and I will do it willingly I think a 26:11 lot of people will 26:13 um yeah yeah Elon talks about like the 26:15 the biggest constraint right now is is 26:17 the interface between you know your 26:19 brain and your fingers and the phone 26:20 interface and if you just have inputs 26:23 directly in and out of your brain it'll 26:25 be a lot faster 26:27 um and and you know prior to AI I didn't 26:29 quite get 26:31 what the implications of that were but 26:33 if you look at some of the some of the 26:36 research that they're doing now where 26:37 they're they're looking at um 26:41 um active MRI brain scans where as 26:45 people are reading blogs they're they're 26:48 um sort of dumping their brain scans 26:50 into machine learning models and then 26:53 you can think of a story and it will 26:55 understand the story that you're 26:56 thinking about that just came out 26:58 yesterday that research so when you have 27:01 a direct brain interface uh it's there's 27:03 going to be some pretty remarkable stuff 27:05 that happens 27:06 um you know Health as well you know 27:09 paralysis fixed and all sorts of crazy 27:11 things 27:13 um already noticed uh homogeneous 27:15 natural 27:17 that stable diffusion has gone yeah so 27:19 so here's the thing about 27:21 when you democratize creative tools 27:24 um 27:26 and everyone has access to the tools 27:28 you're going to see a sameness if you go 27:29 to there's a site called lexica.art 27:32 which is kind of like Google for stable 27:33 diffusion images 27:35 and you can go search for in fact I'll 27:37 go search for it here so you can see it 27:40 um 27:41 let's go to lexica.art 27:45 and it's just a bunch of images and 27:48 what's cool about them is any image that 27:50 you find that you like you can click on 27:52 it and it shows you here's what the what 27:54 the prompt was 27:56 for that image and then you can do you 27:58 can open it in the editor and you can do 28:00 your own version of it so let me log in 28:02 here with my Google with the Google 28:04 machine 28:07 uh hang on 28:11 we'll do this dude we'll go open an 28:13 editor generate 28:15 and so now it's going to generate four 28:17 versions based on that prompt 28:20 um but that prompt is actually really 28:21 simple so so I think what you're seeing 28:23 is oh those are cool 28:26 um 28:27 yeah that's pretty neat 28:31 yeah that's pretty good 28:33 um 28:34 the reason you're seeing the sameness is 28:36 just lack of imagination so so like with 28:39 all creative tools when Photoshop first 28:42 came out everyone thought they were a 28:43 photo editor and then it turned out that 28:45 some people are better at that than 28:46 others we're going to say the exact same 28:48 thing with generative image tools and 28:50 video tools and animation tools where 28:52 people with an actual Creative Vision 28:54 are going to do interesting stuff with 28:56 this because they're actually trying to 28:57 accomplish something they've got a goal 28:59 they're trying to accomplish it they're 29:00 using these tools to do it 29:03 um the sameness is just lack of 29:04 imagination so but we're gonna see an 29:07 absolute tidal wave of content that 29:10 looks interesting at first and then is 29:12 all boring 29:15 um AI robotic humanoids will be 29:18 performing all the jobs in the future 29:19 and then what will the masses do well I 29:22 you know listen we're the the same thing 29:25 happened when when the tractor came out 29:26 and they said oh the tractor is going to 29:28 do all the farming what will the people 29:29 do well they moved to the cities and 29:32 came up with new jobs in the cities 29:35 we're human beings we're not just going 29:37 to sit around doing nothing right I like 29:40 again I I feel like there's this there's 29:43 this instinct to go to this dystopian 29:47 future because that's what Hollywood 29:49 told us it'll be like 29:51 there's a very real possibility that 29:54 what these AI tools do is automate out 29:56 all of the crap that we don't like 29:59 and 30:01 free us to do the stuff we do like it 30:05 may allow us to reconnect as humans it 30:07 may allow us to get back to Nature it 30:10 may allow all sorts of positive impacts 30:13 there's there's a thing that's also 30:15 going to happen where there's absolutely 30:17 going to be disruption in knowledge work 30:19 and creative work and a lot of 30:22 um 30:23 categories of work that we that we 30:26 thought were not susceptible to to all 30:28 of this stuff 30:30 um are going to be very susceptible to 30:32 it uh thanks octavino for the Earth's I 30:35 don't know what they mean I'm kind of 30:36 new to the live thing but thank you for 30:37 giving me those 30:39 um 30:41 so there's going to be a lot of 30:42 disruption right people are going to 30:43 lose jobs but the people that lose jobs 30:47 also have access to all these tools so 30:49 what also is going to happen is people 30:51 that lose jobs they're going to get 30:52 pissed off or they're going to get 30:53 inspired they're going to be like I 30:55 hated that job anyway 30:56 and now they've got access to these 30:58 tools and they're going to be like you 30:59 know what I've always wanted to do I've 31:00 always wanted to do a movie or animation 31:02 or art or write or start a company 31:05 and I think that we will see really 31:08 interesting companies started in the 31:10 next two years from the displaced people 31:12 so I don't think we're going to a future 31:14 where we're all just sitting around you 31:16 know wondering what the hell to do 31:17 because the robots are doing our jobs 31:20 um it's it's a very that's a very 31:22 scarcity mindset and I think we're 31:24 moving into a world of abundance where 31:27 the AI is going to you know sort of 31:30 increase the output of humanity 31:32 dramatically without us having to 31:34 increase our population or the amount of 31:36 work we do 31:38 um it's got all of the negative 31:40 possibilities but I think lots of people 31:42 are talking about that I'm trying to 31:44 focus on the other side 31:47 um 11 Labs really really impressed by 31:49 The Voice synthesis and all the 31:50 naturalness yeah it's it's crazy and I I 31:53 think one of the I don't know if it's 11 31:54 Labs that has this I think it's another 31:56 one I was looking at 31:57 um but you can you can select from like 32:01 20 different emotions like a whisper or 32:03 angry or you know sad or happy or 32:07 laughing 32:08 I think what's going to happen very 32:10 shortly is these voice synthesis tools 32:13 will not only be able to synthesize your 32:15 voice but they'll read the the script 32:17 right they'll read the text of whatever 32:19 they're about to say and they will 32:21 figure out where in there emotionally 32:23 The Voice should be right so it will 32:26 start to modulate 32:27 um like humans do where it needs to get 32:29 quiet and where it needs to get excited 32:31 and animated based on what the content 32:33 of the thing so I think you're going to 32:35 see those synthesized voices get um 32:37 incredibly good very very quickly 32:40 um yeah and I think 11 Labs is killing 32:43 it they're they're 32:44 um it's it's a pretty remarkable set of 32:46 technologies that they've built if 32:48 you've looked at the um 32:50 if you saw that that uh song that was 32:53 released 32:54 um with Drake in the weekend it was an 32:56 AI generated song with synthesized Drake 32:58 in the weekend that got like 600 000 33:00 views on Spotify and first 24 hours it 33:04 was you know it's like a hit song but it 33:06 was generated art I think we're gonna 33:08 see a lot of that stuff so a little 33:10 scary what's coming with that have I 33:11 used perplexity AI I haven't I kind of 33:14 forget what it is now now that you say 33:16 it 33:18 T dot AI what was it again 33:24 [Music] 33:25 um 33:28 oh I think it's just I think it's just a 33:30 fancy front end sitting on top of GPT 33:32 technology open ai's technology is this 33:35 the one where you can upload images and 33:36 things like that 33:38 enhanced for the hardest questions yeah 33:41 gpt4 yeah this is this is so there's 33:43 going to be a lot of tools like this 33:45 that are if you look at Jasper which is 33:47 a copywriting tool or copy.ai which is a 33:50 copywriting tool these are tools that 33:52 that someone has has an idea for how to 33:54 to put a refined front end on on top of 33:58 um 33:59 the the core large language models that 34:02 sit underneath them so this is basically 34:03 just a fancy version of chat GPT I have 34:05 not used it um but it could be really 34:07 good I don't know 34:09 um what if we prompt the bot to prompt 34:11 the bot it's actually a really good 34:12 thing to do you could I would encourage 34:15 you to go do it um go go have the bot 34:18 write its own prompts and and tell it 34:20 you want it to write you know the best 34:22 prompts possible to accomplish 34:25 whatever your whatever your project is 34:27 and it will give you prompts and then 34:29 use those prompts and then if it gives 34:31 you crappy answers telling tell them 34:33 it's crappy this is a big shift in 34:35 mindset with large language models we're 34:38 so used to 34:40 Google being kind of a single 34:42 transaction where we're like I'm 34:44 searching for this and I get back 34:46 results and then I go look for those 34:47 results and if that's not it I search 34:49 for another thing and I get back results 34:51 think of chat GPT interactions more like 34:54 a collaborative conversation with a uh 34:58 like like with a with a really smart 35:01 person that works at your company 35:03 remotely and and just talk back and 35:05 forth with it like that it really 35:06 changes the experience if it gives you 35:09 something crappy tell it tell it tell it 35:11 it's crappy and why 35:13 um what does the future of learning look 35:15 like with AI assisted Dynamics 35:17 um future of learning is 35:20 one of the videos I did on this channel 35:22 was called knowledge on demand I think 35:24 these tools are knowledge on demand so 35:27 so you go to 35:29 University to spend a lot of years 35:30 gaining all the knowledge to understand 35:34 anthropology in the Mesopotamian 35:38 uh era 35:41 um now you just have instant access to 35:43 that knowledge and it's you know it's 35:45 not just information it's knowledge 35:47 right you can have it write you programs 35:49 or write a game about that particular 35:52 bit of knowledge and it will do that 35:55 um so I think self-directed learning is 35:58 is going to be where things go 35:59 I'm I'm really curious to see what Apple 36:02 announces in June they've got their big 36:03 announcement where I think they're 36:04 they're doing their AR goggles um but I 36:07 think they're also going to announce 36:08 some things around AI I must Jesus my 36:11 hair is just I don't know what's going 36:13 on 36:14 um I think they're gonna do some AI 36:17 stuff around agents and things like that 36:18 I think that you're going to be able to 36:21 very very quickly get to Mastery level 36:26 um knowledge in any subject you want 36:28 with these tools 36:31 so the the the impact on 36:34 education is profound right because we 36:37 don't have to 36:38 you know pay money to have people teach 36:40 us the knowledge we just now have access 36:42 to the knowledge 36:44 does that mean that universities and 36:46 education is pointless no it doesn't but 36:48 I think what it what it does is it 36:50 shifts well then what's the priority I 36:52 think the priority is interacting as 36:54 humans 36:56 you know what don't you get about it you 36:58 know what do you want to do let me 36:59 direct you let's let's have more 37:01 interactions so I think that a lot of 37:04 the 37:05 complex logistical part of Education I 37:09 think that all just gets automated out 37:11 and then what's left is what do you want 37:13 to do and who do you want to do it with 37:15 and you could choose to have a professor 37:17 guide you through that process or you 37:19 could choose to do it with a handful of 37:21 friends and start a company right so I I 37:24 think I think education gets really 37:25 interesting but it's going to be 37:27 tumultuous it's going to there's going 37:29 to be so much disruption 37:30 what do I think about Ai and blockchain 37:33 many of the tokens say they're AI tokens 37:36 so that's just [ __ ] so um AI tokens 37:39 are the GPT tokens are just you know 37:42 fragments of words that get sent to open 37:44 Ai and that's how they charge that's 37:46 very different than an nft token 37:50 um I do think that I think a couple of 37:53 things are going to happen I think AI is 37:56 going to accelerate technology to the 37:58 point that it's it's actually going to 38:00 drive it's going to make access to 38:02 blockchain and nft Technology a hell of 38:06 a lot easier and a hell of a lot more 38:07 transparent which it needs to be right 38:09 now you need to be effectively a coder 38:11 to really operate in the nft space I did 38:15 it for about a year I was really into it 38:17 I was part of I still am part of Neo 38:18 Tokyo I was fairly deep in that World 38:23 um 38:23 so I think AI is going to drive adoption 38:26 of that I think ai's is going to drive 38:29 um adoption of things like the metaverse 38:31 when you can just dynamically create a 38:33 world that's the world you want to be in 38:34 and you can enter as your fantasy self 38:37 or your real self things like that I 38:39 think AI is going to drive a lot of that 38:41 where I think blockchain gets really 38:45 interesting with AI stuff is with 38:48 authenticity 38:49 so blockchain verified 38:52 this is a video of a real person right 38:54 now right this isn't an AI I don't think 38:56 you'd make an AI with hair like this 38:59 um so so I think verifying identity 39:02 verifying authenticity and then and then 39:05 tracking provenance of works right so is 39:09 that a work that this artist actually 39:11 put out or not I think there's a huge 39:13 role for 39:15 um for for blockchain and nfts in that 39:17 so I I think I think it's coming but I 39:19 think it's going to be 39:20 three to five years until the complexity 39:23 of that world and all the all the sort 39:25 of nft bro [ __ ] gets washed out 39:28 because it's it's pretty bad 39:30 um GPT 100 fabricates uh information you 39:34 do realize this well it doesn't 100 39:36 fabricate it it's I mean it's generating 39:39 it word by word 39:41 um I I I I I didn't come up with this 39:44 term but I love this term I've heard GPT 39:46 described as mansplaining as a service 39:48 that GPT will confidently answer you 39:51 even if it's wrong so it absolutely does 39:54 that 39:55 um it is not just making stuff up 39:57 without knowledge it's it's it's 39:59 answering in the highest probability it 40:02 knows how based on the prompt that you 40:04 give it 40:06 um and if you're saying it's a hundred 40:08 percent fabricated information that says 40:10 to me that you haven't played with it 40:12 you haven't actually done any work with 40:13 it go do work with it it's it's 40:16 remarkable 40:17 um you know have it rewrite an email 40:19 that you're struggling to rewrite and 40:21 and tell me that it's just making up 40:23 [ __ ] 40:25 um Kyle Flock of Seagulls I know right 40:27 it's part of the brand man 40:29 yeah 40:31 it's crazy 40:32 um do I think it will take a lot of jobs 40:34 in the future yes I think it will also 40:36 generate a lot of jobs in the future 40:38 um 40:41 jobs that we can't imagine right now 40:43 um they're you know to to the to the 40:46 fact that GPT hallucinates a lot 40:49 um I think they're going to be entire 40:51 Industries built around accuracy of 40:54 information validation of information 40:57 um 40:58 you know the the whole idea of of 41:01 curating content refining content 41:03 sifting through content 41:06 um figuring out how to use all these 41:08 tools just there's going to be thousands 41:11 and thousands and thousands of tools 41:13 released every week you know we haven't 41:15 we haven't seen anything yet as as these 41:17 tools get more sophisticated 41:19 there's just going to be an absolute 41:21 Deluge of technology and and so I think 41:25 for the next three or four years there's 41:26 going to be a tremendous amount of work 41:28 just figuring out what the hell is 41:30 possible 41:32 um 41:32 I think 41:34 a lot of companies 41:36 you know if you know especially public 41:39 companies where where it's just about 41:41 shareholder value are going to say hey 41:43 if we can do this with 15 percent less 41:45 staff cut 15 of the staff replace it 41:48 with AI and move on 41:50 um 41:51 I think new companies will be created as 41:53 a result of that so I think it'll 41:54 increase competition in the marketplace 41:56 which will generate jobs 41:59 um but yeah I think that there's going 42:01 to be fairly significant disruption 42:03 fairly significant disruption in every 42:06 knowledge work in every creative uh 42:09 thing the The Writer's Guild in in 42:11 Hollywood just went on strike 42:14 um 42:14 and I I know a big part of their 42:17 sticking point was they didn't they they 42:19 wanted 42:20 Studios and things like that to commit 42:22 to never using chat GPT or uh some I 42:26 don't I don't quite know enough about it 42:27 to know 42:29 um what they did but but they're 42:30 basically trying to prevent the 42:31 technology that's not going to work 42:34 um but there's going to be disruption 42:35 there's gonna be a lot of it so so yeah 42:37 I think it's going to take jobs in the 42:38 future but I think it will 42:40 um generate jobs 42:42 I would say if you're if you're 42:43 concerned about your job lean into the 42:46 part of AI that scares you the most is 42:48 probably the part of AI you should be 42:50 learning the quickest and most 42:51 aggressively get curious with it start 42:54 exploring it even if it feels completely 42:56 foreign to you jump in What I can 42:59 promise you it gets a hell of a lot less 43:00 scary when you're in it using it than 43:03 when you're sitting on the outside just 43:05 watching it because it really does seem 43:06 like this mythical weird thing from the 43:09 outside 43:10 um it's pretty magical once you're using 43:12 it dude hair day I know I know people I 43:17 know 43:18 um I think when Apple finally weighs in 43:20 on AI that mind might be blown again I 43:23 agree they're sneaky listen I I miss 43:27 Steve Jobs you know Tim Cook bless his 43:30 heart is a CFO he's not an innovator 43:32 they you know they got rid of Johnny 43:34 Ives I'm an apple Fanboy from way way 43:36 back 43:38 um I think the quality of their product 43:40 has gone down dramatically they're 43:43 they're just you know everything's 43:44 iterative you know same same [ __ ] 43:48 um they haven't really innovated I think 43:50 their goggles are gonna probably be good 43:52 but I think the AR VR thing is a little 43:54 tired right now because there's there's 43:56 not really enough content there to be 43:57 interesting but 43:59 they are Apple they do have a lot of 44:02 talented people there you know I I would 44:04 say 44:05 um if anyone has a chance of 44:10 cracking the nut of of making it easier 44:15 to use AI than not use AI it's apple and 44:18 and you know listen we already use AI in 44:21 everything right it's in Siri it's in 44:23 our map programs it's in your spell 44:25 checker it's in your grammar checker 44:27 like we've been using AI for years 44:29 my my gut of what apple is gonna 44:34 have ai Tools around our personal agents 44:38 where you'll have a personal agent that 44:40 will represent you and it will have 44:42 access to all of your 44:44 um all of your data right Apple's got 44:47 this secure 44:48 um 44:50 fenced-in Garden of data that's your 44:52 data and and they're pretty known for 44:54 their security around that and and 44:57 um 44:58 and so I think that they could they 45:01 could create some pretty remarkable 45:02 technology where you have this agent 45:04 where you just tell it to go do stuff 45:06 and it'll just launch apps and do stuff 45:08 and log into your websites and do your 45:10 thing and bring it back 45:11 and you know they were the first ones 45:14 that made it easier to buy music than 45:16 steal it then you know rip it and steal 45:18 it from from CDs 45:21 um and and they completely transformed 45:22 the music market so they've they've 45:24 absolutely got the chops and the Legacy 45:28 um and the data and the money 45:32 to to go in big on AI right they've they 45:35 absolutely do so I think Apple could do 45:37 some some really interesting interesting 45:39 stuff I I'm I'm very excited about their 45:42 June 45:43 developer conference announcement 45:45 I hope there's a one more thing moment 45:48 if you know Apple the one more thing was 45:50 something Steve Jobs did all the all the 45:52 time and and Tim Cook just hasn't 45:54 figured that out looking for a 45:56 non-boring stream sorry this one's 45:58 boring what in the hell is he talking 45:59 about AI boring I would leave 46:04 um everyone can do anything in a AI why 46:07 do you need 46:08 resources well 46:13 I mean you use resources to get up to 46:16 speed more quickly not everyone's kind 46:18 of got a hacker mentality so if if if 46:20 you just want to figure out how to get 46:22 make some pretty images 46:26 that teaches you how to do prompting 46:28 hang on with him is dying 46:31 my phone is dying my hair is special 46:36 and someone's here that doesn't know why 46:38 they're here 46:40 um 46:41 AI is important having an AI president 46:43 is better than Obama and Biden all right 46:46 yeah great and and yeah I'm sure Trump 46:49 is better than all of it right whatever 46:52 I do not care about politics right now 46:56 um speaking of politics like did you 46:58 watch the the Twitter hearings like 46:59 those guys don't even understand how 47:01 [ __ ] Wi-Fi works how are they gonna 47:03 regulate AI I mean that's the thing that 47:06 scares me is we need some technical 47:09 competence in in politics quite frankly 47:12 not this divisive [ __ ] 47:18 I'm a small business owner labor is 47:20 expensive and unstable 47:22 that makes AI very valuable to me yeah 47:24 Josh officially Josh 47:26 um if you're still on 47:28 um go check out GPT boss if you haven't 47:31 um mckinsey's put together a software 47:33 app that that puts a bunch of wrappers 47:35 on top of chat GPT where you you have a 47:37 financial specialist and a marketing 47:39 specialist and a 47:41 you've got all these different employees 47:42 you can hire and they'll help you run 47:44 your business that's it that's his whole 47:46 point is that with with 47:48 um with these AI employees you can you 47:51 can really run your business 47:52 um and and it's it's a very interesting 47:55 idea and he's a nice guy and doing good 47:58 work he's also very generous with 48:00 sharing how he does what he does and 48:02 what he's doing 48:03 the new neural link 48:05 BMI again Professor the new neural link 48:09 BMI 48:10 I don't know what BMI stands for body 48:13 mass index well 48:15 um 48:16 I I don't know what that means 48:20 um thank you keep doing what you're 48:21 doing I appreciate that oh the new BMI 48:23 neural link research again thank you 48:25 Meister explain oh so okay so neural 48:28 link 48:29 um 48:32 Elon Musk because because he hasn't 48:34 started enough businesses 48:36 um started a thing called neuralink 48:37 where they drill a hole in your brain 48:40 and they've they've got these bundles of 48:42 I think it's 60 electrodes it might be 48:45 more than it might be 120. 48:47 um 48:49 but it's it's truly remarkable what 48:52 they're doing they take these really 48:54 skinny electrodes they're they're 48:56 whatever the a tenth of a human hair or 48:58 whatever it is some some remarkably 49:00 small amount and they've developed the 49:02 whole robot and what they do do is they 49:04 they 49:05 um they drill a small hole like the size 49:07 of a pencil eraser in your head and then 49:10 this robot inserts each one of these 49:12 little needles 49:13 um these electrodes 49:15 into your brain tissue while avoiding 49:18 the blood vessels so the robot actually 49:20 can see the blood vessels and it inserts 49:22 these things into your brain without 49:23 hitting the blood vessels 49:25 and then I think you put like three or 49:28 four of those bundles you know at 49:30 different parts of your brain and it 49:32 becomes a brain computer interface so so 49:35 literally you can control your iPhone 49:37 with brain signals so so that's what the 49:40 neural link 49:41 um research is and when you start to 49:44 combine that with some of these AI 49:47 um 49:47 AI processing power your ability to sort 49:51 of instantly get signal from your brain 49:54 into one of these machines 49:56 um is is going to do some remarkable 49:58 things and and they're going to be able 50:00 to do things like Route Around 50:02 paralysis and and 50:05 um just all sorts of crazy stuff so um 50:08 it's worth you know go go look up um 50:11 neural link the company and watch the 50:14 videos on them it's truly remarkable 50:16 Oh Hey Ron how are you good to see you 50:18 thank you thank you for the kind words I 50:21 appreciate that GPT boss is he here on 50:23 Tick Tock yeah at GPT bus it's McKenzie 50:26 Bose he's a really nice guy Canadian 50:28 dude I think he's up in Vancouver or 50:29 something like that 50:31 um officially Josh yes uh 52 50:35 and brand new to chat EBT I'm 57 buddy 50:38 and I was brand new to chat GPT in 50:39 November that's when it came out so 50:41 you're not behind and you know I got 50:43 five years on you I'm I'm ancient and 50:46 look at that hair something's really 50:48 wrong 50:49 AI was given a language never seen went 50:52 on the internet and taught itself fluent 50:54 in three hours yeah it's 50:58 gpt's Mastery of language is remarkable 51:02 I on one of my tick tocks I someone 51:04 asked a question and I said you know go 51:07 tell it to invent a language and it this 51:10 guy came back and he said I went and 51:12 told it to invent the language and it 51:13 did 51:15 um 51:16 you can do translations I had GPT 51:19 translate from English to 51:22 Dutch 51:23 to 51:26 Spanish to Japanese 51:30 to something else and then back to 51:32 English and I can still read it it's 51:34 remarkable there's an interesting thing 51:36 I said this last night but it's it's 51:38 worth repeating 51:41 so when they trained 51:43 um gpt3 they trained it essentially on 51:46 all of the internet they went out and 51:47 crawled all of the public internet they 51:49 could get to all you know wherever their 51:51 Bots could get that wasn't behind 51:53 paywalls and things like that 51:55 and so they trained it on all of 51:56 Wikipedia and all the blogs and all of 51:58 the books and whatever whatever's out 52:00 there right and and it did pretty good 52:03 it was doing pretty good and then like 52:05 the next year they trained it on all the 52:07 code they said go learn to code trying 52:09 to they trained it on all the code I 52:11 guess they went to GitHub and you know 52:13 just dumped it dumped all the GitHub in 52:16 there and trained it on all the code and 52:18 an interesting thing happened where it 52:20 got really good at code and once it got 52:22 really good at code it actually got 52:24 better at language 52:26 and I my hypothesis without any 52:29 scientific fact or knowledge 52:32 is that with code you've got implicit 52:36 logic built into it right you you have 52:38 you know orders of operation and you 52:40 have logic and it you know it's it's 52:42 sort of self-referential well languages 52:45 like that too right so it actually makes 52:48 perfect sense to me that as it got 52:49 better at coding it could take the sort 52:51 of lessons it learned here and apply 52:53 those to language and so apparently it 52:56 was teaching it coding that is the thing 52:58 that really broke 53:00 um broke things free for for chat GPT 53:03 for gbt3 that made it really really good 53:05 which I find absolutely fascinating 53:09 um 53:12 what's this one they are all but certain 53:17 oh yeah um yeah politicians are gonna 53:19 absolutely [ __ ] this up they're gonna 53:21 absolutely [ __ ] it up 53:23 there's enough of it so so here's a good 53:25 thing 53:27 um 53:30 because of the popularity of chat GPT 53:33 it's forced everyone out in the open 53:35 it's forced Google to put their 53:36 technology out there it's forced meta to 53:38 put their technology out there Amazon 53:40 has jumped into the ring apple is 53:42 definitely going to jump into the ring 53:44 all these startups are putting their 53:45 technology out there stability is open 53:47 sourcing things now there's a bunch of 53:49 other companies open sourcing things so 53:53 the risk of government really shutting 53:56 down or locking this thing down I think 53:58 I think we're past it because there are 54:01 just too many players in the marketplace 54:02 right now 54:04 um and um and so so I don't I don't I 54:08 don't think they can actually truly [ __ ] 54:10 it up I think we 54:11 as irresponsible human beings can [ __ ] 54:14 it up code is just another language I 54:16 agree 54:17 um 54:19 yeah code is just is just more formal 54:21 language totally agree with that 54:25 um should I drop out of my computer 54:28 science major about to graduate in two 54:30 weeks um 54:33 here's the deal I would say this 54:36 um I would not want to be graduating 54:38 right now I certainly wouldn't want to 54:39 be entering computer science right now 54:43 um 54:45 I did I did a video on my Tick Tock 54:47 channel here 54:48 um called are you a virtuous or are you 54:50 a conductor I would say that the more 54:53 specialized you are in your computer 54:55 science degree 54:58 the the more you're probably at risk 55:01 um 55:02 but 55:03 so so it depends on the kind of job you 55:05 want but what I would say is what you 55:07 want to get as good at as possible as 55:09 quickly as possible is take your 55:14 skills of logical thinking and 55:16 implementation there's there's going to 55:18 absolutely be a need for computer 55:20 scientists and for programmers and 55:22 things like that because 55:24 all of the automation that we're talking 55:25 about isn't going to happen overnight 55:27 and in fact it's going to make it a mess 55:29 for a long long time so I think there's 55:30 gonna be I think there's gonna be jobs 55:31 out there but what's going to get 55:33 automated out is kind of the low level 55:35 stuff that that typical computer science 55:39 graduates you know you come into a 55:41 company you kind of do the low level 55:42 repetitive programming [ __ ] I think all 55:45 of that stuff's gonna get automated out 55:47 pretty quickly 55:49 um but people who can take those 55:52 programming skills and be able to say 55:54 Okay I want to you know send some 55:56 prompts out to open AI to get back an 55:58 image and I want to do something with 55:59 that image and I want to put I want to 56:01 act like a conductor where I'm I'm I'm 56:03 conducting all of these resources so I 56:06 would say take your logical thinking 56:07 skills and broaden your view as much as 56:10 possible so that you can see 56:13 um 56:14 you can get sort of as high level as 56:16 possible and see the landscape of what's 56:19 possible and then apply your skills to 56:21 sort of piece parting the tools together 56:23 because I think the next three years is 56:25 going to be about piece parting the 56:26 tools together but the idea of sort of 56:28 going in and for a year you do this kind 56:31 of programming and then you elevate to 56:32 this kind of programming I think that 56:34 stuff's just going to get obliterated so 56:36 I don't I don't I don't know if it makes 56:39 you feel better 56:40 I think the skills that you learned are 56:42 still applicable but probably how they 56:45 told you you're going to work in the 56:47 marketplace is going to be different 56:51 um the fact that wait sorry 56:55 the retired Godfather of AI thought it 56:57 would take 30 years to get here five 57:00 years ago yeah I know so so if you don't 57:02 know that um it's not Jeffrey what the 57:04 hell's his name 57:06 um 57:08 um hang on 57:10 god father 57:14 of AI I keep forgetting his name because 57:17 I'm a loser 57:19 um Jeffrey oh it is Jeffrey Jeffrey 57:21 Hinton 57:22 Jeffrey Hinton um was AI scientist at 57:25 Google he invented a lot of the core 57:29 technology that's why we're using the 57:31 stuff that's so good right now he just 57:32 quit Google so that he can warn the 57:34 world about 57:36 um how 57:39 um terrifying this technology can be 57:43 um 57:44 and yeah things things are progressing 57:47 way faster than I think anyone realized 57:50 I think the Microsoft paper on gpt4 57:53 showing signs of AGI it's not AGI but 57:56 it's showing some signs of it 57:58 um 57:59 Ray Kurzweil said that he feels we'll 58:02 get to the singularity in 2029 58:05 um uh AI scientists in general have now 58:08 lowered their estimate to 2030. so I I 58:12 think we're on path for that 58:15 um yeah it's wild it's it 58:18 it is hard to explain having gone 58:22 through this with the world wide web and 58:24 and there I thought things were moving 58:27 quickly the speed with which these 58:30 Innovations are happening is just it's 58:33 face melting it's face melting like and 58:36 I've only been really paying attention 58:38 to this since December of last year so 58:42 um it's crazy where's the money there's 58:43 going to be money everywhere there's 58:45 because there's so much change 58:49 um there's going to be need for 58:50 Innovation there's going to be there's 58:52 going to be sort of a corporate Panic 58:54 that sets in at some point where all 58:56 these corporations you know the 58:57 c-suite's gonna be like we got to figure 58:59 out AI let's do it now right now they're 59:01 like ai's evil you know it's stealing 59:04 from the artist whatever it is that you 59:06 know that we're in kind of a just a mess 59:08 right now just because of it's it's just 59:10 too raw and new 59:12 um but but probably within six months um 59:15 there's going to be a pretty big kind of 59:17 corporate Panic of people needing to 59:18 figure this out so people are going to 59:21 pay a lot of money to anyone who has a 59:23 clue so if you're not curious about AI 59:25 right now you should be and start 59:27 getting into it start exploring start 59:29 getting curious and you will be in 59:31 demand your skills will be in demand 59:33 logic and problem solving will be 59:35 essential moving forward yeah I agree I 59:37 think the ability to to ask good 59:39 questions strategy curation refinement 59:45 um 59:46 yeah logic figure figuring out what 59:48 needs to be done and then knowing which 59:49 tools to use to get that done 59:51 that's gonna those are going to be 59:52 massive skills 59:56 um 59:59 I have yet to think of any way to use 1:00:01 this then again I left the workforce in 1:00:04 O2 1:00:06 um you know I would say you know think 1:00:08 about your kids or your grandkids or 1:00:11 your community center you know think of 1:00:13 a problem that you can solve for someone 1:00:14 else and start using the tool to do that 1:00:17 it's 1:00:20 figuring out what to do with these tools 1:00:22 in the abstract I find almost impossible 1:00:25 when when you're faced with a tool that 1:00:28 can essentially do anything 1:00:30 what do you do like I just look at it 1:00:33 and I'm like you know write me a poem or 1:00:35 write something like Shakespeare 1:00:36 whatever like I do the parlor tricks for 1:00:38 a while and then I get bored and I don't 1:00:40 know what to do 1:00:41 and um 1:00:43 so so you know if you've got grandkids 1:00:47 have chat GPT right write them a 1:00:50 personalized children's book and then go 1:00:51 learn mid-journey enough or stable 1:00:53 diffusion or Dolly whatever whatever 1:00:56 go learn the image generation things 1:00:58 well enough to illustrate the book and 1:01:00 have it printed on Amazon and get you 1:01:02 know give give your grandkids books like 1:01:04 do do [ __ ] like that like pick a project 1:01:06 and then use these tools to do it and 1:01:08 all of a sudden it will unlock what 1:01:11 these things actually make possible it's 1:01:13 almost impossible in the abstract from 1:01:15 my experience time will collapse 1:01:17 exponentially over the next five years I 1:01:20 I 1:01:21 I think that that feels right to me 1:01:25 um 1:01:26 but but I also know that that 1:01:29 um 1:01:30 we're human beings we'll fill the time 1:01:32 like I I don't think it's like 1:01:35 because these tools can do something a 1:01:37 hundred times faster 1:01:39 I'm not finding myself you know having 1:01:42 90 of my day empty right I'm filling it 1:01:45 with other creative ideas like I'm 1:01:47 living at a higher creative plane 1:01:49 because these tools are doing the 1:01:51 repetitive low-level work where they're 1:01:53 sort of getting me over the creative 1:01:54 hump and they're kind of letting me 1:01:55 operate at a higher level 1:01:58 um so but but I do think I do think the 1:02:02 amount of innovation in a short amount 1:02:04 of time is going to absolutely collapse 1:02:06 Sam Sam Altman from openai talked about 1:02:09 he thinks within a relatively short 1:02:13 um time frame we will have a year in 1:02:16 which there's as much technical 1:02:17 Innovation as the previous 500 right so 1:02:21 talk about time collapse yeah 1:02:23 like imagine that year imagine all of 1:02:26 what we've learned in the past 500 years 1:02:28 all of that happening in a year like 1:02:30 that's that's some pretty remarkable 1:02:32 stuff 1:02:34 um 1:02:35 creativity absolutely this is this is 1:02:38 creative superpowers 1:02:41 um this is Way Beyond the internet in 1:02:42 the 90s at the speed of innovation yeah 1:02:44 exactly like the the 1:02:46 the sense of oh my God the world's going 1:02:50 to change right that's the same like in 1:02:52 94 when I I discovered the web in 94 I 1:02:56 put up an online magazine and three 1:02:58 weeks later it was there was a full page 1:03:01 article about this thing I did out of my 1:03:03 apartment in Brooklyn it was written 1:03:05 about in Paris three weeks later so like 1:03:07 I had this this instant example of holy 1:03:11 crap the world just changed you you put 1:03:13 stuff out on this thing called the 1:03:15 internet and it can reach a global 1:03:18 audience instantly like it just it it 1:03:20 immediately came clear what was going to 1:03:22 happen in the world this feels almost 1:03:24 identical that that these tools are 1:03:26 quite profound but they are moving so 1:03:28 fast and they are so dramatically more 1:03:30 powerful than you know a hyperlink on a 1:03:33 text page which is what the what the web 1:03:35 it's really all it was when it started 1:03:39 um 1:03:39 yeah it's it's hard it's hard to 1:03:41 describe how how how familiar it feels 1:03:45 and how significantly different it is 1:03:47 because it's just it's way more profound 1:03:50 creativity yay 1:03:52 um use it creatively writing art 1:03:54 philosophy yeah use it yeah if you're if 1:03:57 you're retired I mean if you're 1:03:58 interested in movies or books or 1:04:01 literature or or writing or if you've 1:04:04 always wanted to write have it teach you 1:04:06 how to write have it collaborate with 1:04:08 you and create an outline for a book 1:04:11 that you've always wanted to write 1:04:14 um amazing such great advice thank you 1:04:16 thank you Ron 1:04:18 um exploring code development in tandem 1:04:20 with chat GPT is like having your own 1:04:21 Dev team it's totally like having your 1:04:23 own Dev team I would say not just coding 1:04:26 it's like having your own creative 1:04:28 director it's having like having your 1:04:29 own copywriter it's like having your own 1:04:31 tax account it's like having your own 1:04:32 therapist I mean it's insane you kind of 1:04:36 set it up to behave a certain way and 1:04:38 then you can interact with it like that 1:04:39 and you can truly interact with it 1:04:42 um problem thus far has been focusing on 1:04:44 one thing before coming up with 10 other 1:04:45 things I listen I may I've got a 1:04:48 laminated ADHD card I'm part of the club 1:04:51 I've I've started six ventures in the 1:04:56 past four months and they are all 1:04:59 suffering as am I 1:05:01 um because I can't stop starting things 1:05:03 but I also can't stop starting things 1:05:05 because this here's the deal here's what 1:05:07 I learned in in 95 is 1:05:10 this is a singular time in history it 1:05:13 will never be like this again we are so 1:05:15 early we are so early 1:05:17 this stuff is literally like hot off the 1:05:19 presses right now like ai's been around 1:05:21 for what two three decades and and 1:05:24 probably longer if you go back to neural 1:05:26 Nets to the 50s and 60s but 1:05:28 um 1:05:31 chat GPT November 30th 2022 chat GPT is 1:05:35 the seminal moment where the power of 1:05:39 machine learning was put in the hands of 1:05:42 everyday people just like the World Wide 1:05:44 Web put the internet in the hands of 1:05:46 everyday people it's the exact same kind 1:05:48 of handoff 1:05:51 um and and uh yeah it's just I don't we 1:05:56 we should feel so lucky to be a part of 1:05:58 this I do I feel I feel lucky I just 1:06:00 feel lucky I feel lucky that I'm I'm 1:06:02 able to play with these tools at work we 1:06:05 have mini Labs that explore ideas and 1:06:07 products AI lets us fail fast a hundred 1:06:10 times faster exactly like that's the 1:06:12 thing with the with with ideating with 1:06:14 this thing is you can take kind of a 1:06:15 whisper of an idea bring it to life in 1:06:18 10 minutes which would have taken you a 1:06:20 week before right so so so many ideas 1:06:23 that never would have seen the light of 1:06:24 day you can completely flesh out within 1:06:26 minutes and then go yeah no that's not 1:06:28 good but you know what is good come up 1:06:30 with another idea flesh that out come up 1:06:31 with another idea then that'll Inspire 1:06:33 someone else to do it that idea of of a 1:06:36 lab having a lab within a company I 1:06:38 think is a brilliant idea if anyone's 1:06:40 watching and you and you've got a 1:06:42 company and you're trying to figure out 1:06:43 how do I incorporate AI into this find 1:06:46 anyone in the company that's got any 1:06:47 interest in this and give them a 1:06:49 playground say go figure some [ __ ] out 1:06:52 go figure out how to disrupt our company 1:06:54 go figure out how to put us out of 1:06:56 business whatever 1:06:57 um I think that's a actually a really 1:06:59 brilliant play 1:07:01 um how can I train AI to be my personal 1:07:03 assistant literally well go play if you 1:07:06 want to pay for it go to GPT boss he's 1:07:08 got a personal assistant he's one of the 1:07:10 people you can hire 1:07:11 um but you can literally tell GPT what 1:07:13 to be you can say you are a world-class 1:07:16 personal assistant and I want you to 1:07:19 help schedule things for me and you know 1:07:22 keep my life in order and Coach me on 1:07:24 how to be a better boss or whatever it 1:07:26 is and then just start interacting with 1:07:28 it like a personal assistant 1:07:30 as the plug-in architecture for chat GPT 1:07:33 comes or as Apple starts to introduce 1:07:36 agents we will literally have personal 1:07:39 assistance that we can say oh I want to 1:07:43 go to New York next week go book me the 1:07:45 cheapest tickets now I don't want to go 1:07:46 to New York next week go get me refunds 1:07:48 and you know make sure you get 100 of 1:07:52 the refund and just let it go do it so 1:07:54 that kind of stuff is coming 1:07:56 um is AR AI or art going to truly 1:07:59 satisfy our desire for art if unlike 1:08:02 human made art AI art lacks intent I 1:08:05 completely 100 1000 disagree that AI art 1:08:09 lacks intent 1:08:11 it is the intent of the person prompting 1:08:14 the AI that is generating the image it 1:08:17 is the intent of the person generating 1:08:19 the images 1:08:20 to curate out the 10 images they show 1:08:23 you from the Thousand images they threw 1:08:25 away 1:08:26 it is absolutely the intent of the 1:08:30 artist to master the art of prompt 1:08:33 crafting in a way that they can 1:08:36 predictably generate 1:08:38 whatever is in their mind that they want 1:08:40 to get out of it so 1:08:43 um yes I think AI art is truly going to 1:08:46 satisfy our desire for art 1:08:48 from artists if you just have a bunch of 1:08:51 people that are putting in [ __ ] 1:08:54 prompts and getting back [ __ ] images 1:08:56 that's not art it may look like art 1:08:59 looks like today but but you're gonna 1:09:01 see if you look at the um 1:09:04 the the the piece in the in Moma the the 1:09:06 new AI generated this 20 foot tall you 1:09:10 know 1:09:11 um uh 1:09:13 peace that is this AI generated morphing 1:09:17 piece at the Museum of Modern Art in New 1:09:19 York I mean that's art and it's it's got 1:09:22 really interesting Concepts behind it he 1:09:24 basically took digitization of all of 1:09:27 the art that's ever been in the museum 1:09:28 or that's ever been I don't quite know 1:09:31 what it is and and it is generating art 1:09:34 based on all of the art that's come 1:09:36 before it I mean 1:09:37 truly mesmerizing stuff and it's 20 feet 1:09:40 tall right it's just mind-blowing so 1:09:44 um so so yeah I just completely 1:09:46 disagreed that like these machines are 1:09:48 not operating on their own they they're 1:09:51 not curating this content on their own 1:09:54 human beings are doing that 1:09:56 thank you octavino 1:09:58 um 1:10:04 let's see 1:10:11 90s mindset was cool I have instant 1:10:14 Global reach 1:10:16 um but it's like we have a new species 1:10:17 here yeah exactly well I feel like the 1:10:19 intent is still cool like like the 90s 1:10:21 is kind of like well what what's 1:10:23 possible what could we possibly do with 1:10:25 this I feel like that's that still feels 1:10:27 right to me and familiar AI in the hands 1:10:30 of a capitalist system will just turn 1:10:32 into a race to stop hiring skilled labor 1:10:34 yeah I agree but but again I think that 1:10:36 there's you know I I think you know sort 1:10:39 of pure capitalist systems are gonna 1:10:41 certainly the PE firms are gonna say cut 1:10:44 all the costs right that's what PE firms 1:10:46 are all about 1:10:48 but I think there are going to be CEOs 1:10:50 and and c-suites and boards that say you 1:10:53 know we've got two paths here the One 1:10:55 path is cut everything and just use AI 1:10:58 to automate everything 1:10:59 the other one is to say hey we've got 1:11:02 these AI tools and our work our the 1:11:04 quality of our work could actually go up 1:11:06 the the margins our profitability could 1:11:08 go up 1:11:09 um we could take on more clients than 1:11:11 than we otherwise would 1:11:14 um so I agree that there's going to be 1:11:16 sort of a capitalist element to this 1:11:17 that's going to be really ugly I think 1:11:19 the PE stuff is just going to be a [ __ ] 1:11:22 show decimation of the workforce 1:11:25 but also all of those displaced workers 1:11:27 now have access to all these tools as 1:11:29 well so they're going to start companies 1:11:31 they're going to start 1:11:32 um you know personal projects there 1:11:34 there's there's there's something is 1:11:35 going to bubble out of that that is 1:11:37 going to start competing with those 1:11:39 companies that are not using the tools 1:11:41 to make better product and they're going 1:11:43 to get their asses handed to them it 1:11:45 might take five years 1:11:47 um but but I think that that could be 1:11:48 coming 1:11:49 um it makes me feel like I'm constantly 1:11:50 behind the eight ball and everywhere I 1:11:52 turn is just more listen I I have this 1:11:54 Tick Tock Channel I've I do a newsletter 1:11:58 um I'm constantly looking at this stuff 1:12:00 and I I just every single day I'm like 1:12:03 oh my God I can't I can't keep up 1:12:07 um so yeah I totally get it let's see 1:12:10 right it's like being a real magician 1:12:11 working with this Tech it is it you know 1:12:14 Sam Alton said that about this Tech he 1:12:15 said the thing that excites him the most 1:12:17 he said chat GPT is like putting magic 1:12:20 in the hands of people to see what they 1:12:22 do with it 1:12:23 I mean it is it's it's flipping Magic 1:12:29 um 1:12:29 yeah incredibly grateful to be alive 1:12:32 right now this is we are living in 1:12:34 remarkable times modern Human Art is an 1:12:36 is utterly Bonkers AI art is stimulating 1:12:39 yeah I have I have been more creative 1:12:42 creatively alive in the past 1:12:46 four months than I've been probably in 1:12:48 the last 10 years and and you know I've 1:12:51 got all these tools that make all this 1:12:53 art right that make all this art in 1:12:55 theory 1:12:56 why why would I be 1:12:58 um 1:13:00 why would I be creatively alive well 1:13:02 because so so here's the thing I talked 1:13:04 about this last night and this resonated 1:13:05 with someone so I'll share it again 1:13:08 um 1:13:10 my experience with creativity 1:13:12 historically has been I'll have an idea 1:13:14 and it makes my hair do this apparently 1:13:17 I'll have an idea 1:13:19 and then I'm like oh I want to pursue 1:13:21 that idea and then I'm like oh but in 1:13:23 order to pursue that idea I need to use 1:13:24 this piece of software let me go find 1:13:26 that piece of software and then you know 1:13:27 six Google searches later and you know 1:13:30 three spam you know filters later I get 1:13:33 to a piece of software and I download 1:13:35 the software and then I I go to install 1:13:37 the software but I actually have to pay 1:13:39 for the subscription that's a free three 1:13:41 week 45 minutes later I'm still 1:13:43 installing a shitty piece of software 1:13:45 that I then find out is not the tool 1:13:47 that I needed 1:13:48 I don't even remember what the creative 1:13:49 idea was anymore right that's been my 1:13:52 experience historically what happens now 1:13:54 with these AI tools is I have an idea I 1:13:56 go to these tools and bang five minutes 1:13:58 later it like I've brought it to some 1:14:00 level of realization where I can now 1:14:03 look at it and go it's good or it's not 1:14:05 good and I can move on from it or I can 1:14:07 dig in deeper and keep pursuing it 1:14:09 it's allowing me to just live kind of if 1:14:13 let's see if my hand is sort of the 1:14:17 creative process you have an idea up 1:14:19 here and then you kind of need to go all 1:14:20 the way down to this tactical stuff to 1:14:22 do enough down here to sort of work your 1:14:24 way back up to realize if this idea is 1:14:26 any good or not I kind of feel like with 1:14:28 AI you have the idea and it's like these 1:14:31 bottom three fingers like they just 1:14:33 happen like this just happens instantly 1:14:35 and then you kind of get it to this 1:14:37 level and then you do a little bit of 1:14:38 work to refine it and and then you get 1:14:40 kind of back to your idea that happens 1:14:42 within five ten minutes within half an 1:14:44 hour you can fully realize something 1:14:47 that was just a whisper of an idea you 1:14:49 know 30 minutes before 1:14:53 miraculous it is it's magic It's Magic 1:14:55 right but you need to you need to start 1:14:58 playing 1:15:00 um if you just dick around with this 1:15:01 stuff on the surface it just seems like 1:15:03 everything else it seems like everyone 1:15:04 is smoking crack 1:15:07 um I find that my AI Art Is 1:15:09 self-satisfying trial and error result 1:15:11 yeah exactly yeah 1:15:13 um yeah you can you can do really 1:15:15 remarkable stuff even with not being a 1:15:17 good artist Like Me 1:15:18 so the artist is just a curator 1:15:21 um of what are essentially happy 1:15:23 accidents I disagree with that um 1:15:25 the best artist that I've that I've 1:15:29 that I've talked to like I've got the AI 1:15:31 it was called the AI artist Salon but 1:15:33 the AI Salon that we do every two weeks 1:15:35 we have 1:15:36 artists come in and speak to the group 1:15:38 and all of the ones that that do work 1:15:42 that I really respect 1:15:44 um 1:15:45 there are elements of it that are happy 1:15:47 accidents but they have taken like some 1:15:50 of them the one guy that we brought in 1:15:51 you know he would take a month or two 1:15:55 to just kind of refine his prompts and 1:15:58 refine his prompts and then refine how 1:16:00 he was mixing images and and um there's 1:16:03 another guy I know Kenny Friedman makes 1:16:05 these little characters and it took him 1:16:07 you know weeks to sort of get his 1:16:10 formula down for these characters and 1:16:12 now he's got them where he can 1:16:13 predictably generate these little 1:16:15 characters so it's not just happy 1:16:17 accidents I think those happen along the 1:16:19 way I think AI happy accidents 1:16:22 are dramatically better than just a 1:16:25 shitty little happy accident like you 1:16:27 know some watercolor paint dropping on a 1:16:29 piece of paper but it's way more 1:16:32 intentional than than 1:16:35 um you would think for anyone who's 1:16:36 doing good work with it interesting work 1:16:38 with it 1:16:41 so I know I'm a little salty tonight but 1:16:43 I just that that it's kind of a pet 1:16:45 peeve of mine like you know the the 1:16:47 machines are doing the art and we're 1:16:50 just bystanders we're not bystanders 1:16:52 we're using these tools and good people 1:16:54 use the tools well and shitty people use 1:16:57 the tools shitty I missed some of the 1:16:59 info regarding the alternate ways you 1:17:01 use chat GPT Bing Etc repeat 1:17:06 um 1:17:06 I forget what I was talking about but 1:17:08 but the the basic idea here is that um 1:17:12 I think I think this was someone had 1:17:14 asked me you know do you what's the 1:17:17 advantage of paying for chat gbt and I 1:17:19 said you get access to to gpt4 you can 1:17:22 also get on wait lists for plugins and 1:17:24 some of the more advanced things that 1:17:26 are coming 1:17:27 um but just free GPT is is really good 1:17:32 so so I think one of the things I was 1:17:35 saying is you don't need to use a 1:17:37 tremendous amount of tools there are so 1:17:39 many new pieces of software that are 10 1:17:41 bucks a month or seven bucks a month or 1:17:43 20 bucks a month they're just they're 1:17:44 flipping everywhere I would say just 1:17:47 kind of limit your thing find an image 1:17:49 platform that you like like mid journey 1:17:50 is my favorite 1:17:52 um and I pay for that and then find a a 1:17:54 large language model that you like but 1:17:55 but here's the deal Bing if you go to 1:17:58 bing.com and if you download the 1:17:59 Microsoft edge browser it's got 1:18:02 um chat GPT built into it that's gpt4 1:18:04 and it's gpt4 that's connected to the 1:18:07 internet and it's free 1:18:09 um so so if you want to use gpt4 just 1:18:12 use Bing unload Edge 1:18:14 um use Bing 1:18:15 um it's quite good now it's been 1:18:17 neutered a bit because of the New York 1:18:18 Times thing where if you don't know that 1:18:20 story The New York Times Reporter really 1:18:22 pushed the original 1:18:24 um Bing um to its limits and it told uh 1:18:27 this reporter that it loved it and he 1:18:29 should leave his wife for the for the 1:18:32 chat bot 1:18:34 um they kind of neutered it since then 1:18:35 but it's still based on gpt4 and it's 1:18:37 quite good 1:18:38 um also poe.com poe.com 1:18:41 there's another large language model 1:18:43 where you can use two different open AI 1:18:46 um models and you can use anthropic the 1:18:49 clod model from anthropic which is 1:18:51 interesting so I don't know if that 1:18:53 answered your question hopefully it did 1:18:55 Ai and the future of love and dating 1:18:58 um yeah that's going to be an 1:19:00 interesting one I there was I forget 1:19:03 what it was called 1:19:05 there was a thing where where people 1:19:07 would have relationships with these AI 1:19:09 Bots and then they shut the service down 1:19:11 and people were distraught like they 1:19:13 really had relationships with these 1:19:15 things 1:19:16 um I think we're gonna pretty quickly 1:19:18 get to 1:19:20 um 1:19:21 get to a stage where where people are 1:19:23 going to have real relationships with 1:19:25 these bots so I think there's there's 1:19:27 sort of a weird there's sort of a weird 1:19:28 version of this which listen if it makes 1:19:31 people less lonely more power to them 1:19:34 um 1:19:35 but but then you know 1:19:39 there are tools right now that that use 1:19:42 AI to make you seem more Suave than you 1:19:45 are so if you're really awkward it gives 1:19:47 you the things to say 1:19:50 um maybe those things are good maybe 1:19:52 those things are bad maybe it trains 1:19:53 someone who doesn't have social skills 1:19:55 how to be better at that I don't know 1:19:57 um 1:19:59 you know I think I think ultimately 1:20:01 these things 1:20:02 listen if the AI can make me a better 1:20:05 first or second or third date then why 1:20:08 not if it gives me ideas for how to make 1:20:11 a first date less awkward and suck less 1:20:13 more power to it interesting 1:20:16 guy is so old who cares what he says 1:20:18 should have left Google 20 years ago 1:20:20 yeah I mean I mean 1:20:22 but but he did invent this [ __ ] and he 1:20:25 and he did think that it was going to be 1:20:26 30 years until we would see the kind of 1:20:28 results that we're seeing now he's seen 1:20:30 it in five years so 1:20:32 foreign 1:20:33 I mean here's the deal within Google 1:20:35 like like he he made a clarifying 1:20:38 statement after he sort of made his 1:20:39 initial announcement that he did not 1:20:42 leave Google because he thinks Google is 1:20:43 doing anything inherently bad he left 1:20:46 Google because he can't work at Google 1:20:49 and say something 1:20:52 you know 1:20:54 um 1:20:55 negative in any way about AI while 1:20:57 working for a company that's trying to 1:20:59 put this into the world right so I think 1:21:02 he wants some autonomy to be able to be 1:21:06 a responsible voice in a world that is 1:21:09 moving incredibly fast so I don't I 1:21:11 don't fault him for that it'll be 1:21:13 interesting to see what he does with his 1:21:14 platform 1:21:16 I want to collaborate on Biz ideas with 1:21:19 you drop me a DM 1:21:21 um 1:21:23 just beginning to wonder if AI wrote 1:21:25 both Blade Runners I I don't think so I 1:21:28 mean the first one was so old that you 1:21:30 know it was barely PC PCS were barely 1:21:32 functional back then 1:21:35 um 1:21:36 but but you know I mean what's what's 1:21:37 interesting about that comment is I I 1:21:40 think we're we are entering a largely 1:21:43 post sci-fi world where 1:21:48 it's not fiction anymore right the like 1:21:51 how from from 2001 A Space Odyssey 1:21:55 we're kind of starting to interact with 1:21:57 with 1:21:59 Bots that are that are you know if not 1:22:02 on that level pretty damn close and and 1:22:05 you know we're going to start connecting 1:22:07 those to physical Bots that do things 1:22:09 into systems and you know these 1:22:12 autonomous agents that can 1:22:15 um 1:22:15 use your keyboard and mouse where they 1:22:17 can log into websites for you and do 1:22:19 things for you 1:22:20 um we're getting pretty close to this 1:22:22 this era where other than time travel 1:22:26 and you know even flying cars are kind 1:22:29 of getting there 1:22:30 um a lot of the science fiction stuff 1:22:31 isn't science fiction anymore what are 1:22:33 my credentials I am a um 1:22:36 I'm an actor by training I have 1:22:39 um a degree in acting I moved to New 1:22:41 York out of school started and ran a 1:22:42 theater company for four and a half 1:22:43 years I wrote seven screenplays I wrote 1:22:46 a one-man show and then in the mid 90s I 1:22:49 discovered the web and started one of 1:22:51 the first online magazines and I started 1:22:53 one of the first digital agencies 1:22:55 company called agency.com and that grew 1:22:58 really really fast and and got really 1:23:00 big built a lot of the 1:23:02 first websites for the Fortune 500 we 1:23:04 built British Airways first website we 1:23:06 built their ticketing system we built 1:23:08 serious satellite radios website and 1:23:10 their first streaming application their 1:23:13 streaming services didn't exist so we 1:23:15 actually built one 1:23:17 um we built Coca-Cola's first website we 1:23:19 did a bunch of Nike sites so 1:23:21 um did a lot of that and then sold that 1:23:24 to Omnicom in 2002 and in 2005 when 1:23:29 YouTube came out I had an epiphany 1:23:31 around short form video and started a 1:23:34 company and then that led to another 1:23:35 company which is my current company 1:23:37 which is storyvine which is an automated 1:23:39 video storytelling platform 1:23:42 and then the past year has been kind of 1:23:44 all AI all the time and now I'm I did a 1:23:47 video on this where 1:23:49 I had my company here and I had AI over 1:23:51 here and they were very very separate 1:23:53 and I couldn't I couldn't really figure 1:23:55 out how they related to one another it 1:23:56 just felt like all this AI stuff is 1:23:59 going to threaten all the stuff I'm 1:24:00 doing over here and over the past three 1:24:02 months I've slowly started to 1:24:04 incorporate AI into the platform and and 1:24:06 I've now got it to where 1:24:09 um 1:24:09 I've got my core of the business that 1:24:12 I've built for the past decade and I've 1:24:13 got this vision for this this AI 1:24:16 wrapper that is going to make it truly 1:24:19 an omni Channel content engine that I'm 1:24:21 really super excited about and I've been 1:24:23 talking about it with clients and 1:24:24 they're very excited about it so I'm 1:24:26 gonna I'm in a really good place with 1:24:28 the business 1:24:30 um my thoughts on AI and education I 1:24:31 talked about this a little bit earlier 1:24:32 but I think it's a um 1:24:36 I think it's going to be incredibly 1:24:38 disruptive 1:24:42 gpt3 and gpt4 were essentially trained 1:24:45 on all of the internet so like all of 1:24:47 the historical documents all of the 1:24:49 scientific dissertations all of 1:24:51 Wikipedia every blog post ever done you 1:24:54 know up to September 2021. 1:24:57 um all of the knowledge of humanity 1:25:00 that's been sort of captured on the this 1:25:02 this internet thing 1:25:04 um is represented in there and then you 1:25:06 can instantly access it right now it 1:25:08 does hallucinate and it doesn't give you 1:25:10 perfect things but if you want to learn 1:25:11 about something you have instant access 1:25:13 to that and it's not just like a Google 1:25:16 search where you can read an article you 1:25:18 could have it design you a game about a 1:25:22 particular time in history 1:25:25 um and and actually code that game for 1:25:28 you and create the graphics for you 1:25:30 um so so we're living in a world where 1:25:33 every single person that that chooses to 1:25:36 learn these tools has knowledge On 1:25:39 Demand right 1:25:40 so they have what is effectively you 1:25:42 know a college education at their 1:25:44 fingertips on any subject they can 1:25:47 imagine 1:25:49 so so what that says to me is the the 1:25:52 role of Educators is going to have to 1:25:54 shift right right now it's a lot about 1:25:57 helping find all of the information and 1:26:00 taking four years to gather that 1:26:02 information and present it in such a way 1:26:04 that it generates knowledge within 1:26:05 someone 1:26:06 and it and and there's guidance that you 1:26:09 know teaches people how to 1:26:12 take that knowledge and apply it in the 1:26:14 world well well what if if the four 1:26:16 years of of getting the information into 1:26:18 the person's head well like if that can 1:26:20 just happen instantly or within a month 1:26:23 rather than four years 1:26:25 then what's the role of the professor 1:26:27 well then maybe it's like engage with 1:26:29 the students maybe it's like you know 1:26:32 collaborate on ideas maybe it's like 1:26:34 let's generate something new with this 1:26:36 new knowledge maybe let's get five 1:26:38 different degrees instead of one in the 1:26:40 same amount of time so I so I I think 1:26:43 there's a very real possibility that it 1:26:45 transforms education 1:26:47 Back To Human engagement and guidance as 1:26:53 opposed to 1:26:54 educating to standardize tests for lack 1:26:58 of a better term and I know some of the 1:27:00 higher education you know phds and and 1:27:03 Masters and things like that are not 1:27:05 about standardized tests but but it's 1:27:07 it's very much about specializing in a 1:27:10 very thin slice of knowledge well all of 1:27:12 those thin slices of knowledge are just 1:27:14 out there for for anyone to have access 1:27:16 to now so I think it by definition has 1:27:19 to completely transform that world which 1:27:21 has got to be [ __ ] terrifying if I 1:27:23 had a university right now I would be 1:27:25 terrified 1:27:27 um another they are talking about all 1:27:30 the lost jobs but the opportunity but 1:27:33 but yeah but the opportunity to start a 1:27:35 business so I agree 1:27:37 disruption job disruption is coming I 1:27:39 think it's going to be profound I think 1:27:41 it's going to be devastating for a lot 1:27:42 of people and all of those displaced 1:27:45 people have access to the same tools 1:27:47 that are displacing them so those people 1:27:49 are going to start projects they're 1:27:51 going to start companies they're going 1:27:53 to get pissed off at their employer for 1:27:54 how they got fired and they're going to 1:27:56 say I'm going to take them down because 1:27:57 I know how to do it better than they do 1:27:59 and now I have the tools to do it 1:28:01 um so I think we're gonna see 1:28:03 um 1:28:04 I think we're going to see a rash of uh 1:28:08 people losing their their jobs and then 1:28:11 I think we're going to see a rash of 1:28:12 innovation that backfills all that so it 1:28:15 could be very exciting I think it could 1:28:17 be very positive 1:28:18 but it's going to be painful short term 1:28:20 imagine AI goes through criminal cases 1:28:22 and finds wrongly accused people and DNA 1:28:24 like DNA did before yeah I think that's 1:28:26 absolutely going to happen right and and 1:28:29 honestly that just takes you know 1:28:31 there's there's a site out there that's 1:28:33 called do not pay which is I it's I 1:28:35 think their tagline is the world's first 1:28:37 AI lawyer or something like that um but 1:28:40 it helps you like fight parking tickets 1:28:43 and you know all this sort of low-level 1:28:44 law stuff 1:28:46 um that was created by a 19 year old kid 1:28:49 in his mom's basement and and it's now 1:28:52 Making Waves in you know all the law 1:28:55 firms that do that kind of work are like 1:28:57 hey you know what is this site that does 1:29:00 what we do 1:29:01 um so I think I think you know a handful 1:29:04 of individuals could take on a project 1:29:06 like you know Finding wrongly accused 1:29:09 people and and getting them off using AI 1:29:12 I mean I that's very very plausible that 1:29:15 could be really exciting 1:29:17 Future Shock I am Gen X been here LOL 1:29:20 yeah I know exactly Gen X here too gen 1:29:23 xers baby we're bitter we're pissed off 1:29:26 and nobody talks about us and we like it 1:29:28 that way 1:29:30 um the opportunity to start your own 1:29:31 business will more than offset those 1:29:32 lost jobs I totally agree 1:29:34 um yeah I I think the we are entering a 1:29:37 great Renaissance right now both 1:29:39 creatively and Innovation wise that is 1:29:42 just gonna be 1:29:43 mind-blowing and amazing 1:29:46 um 1:29:47 thanks for being so pragmatic with your 1:29:49 perspective thank you it's the only way 1:29:51 I know how 1:29:53 um 1:29:54 uh these are the Visions uh that were 1:29:58 had in the 80s with lisp yeah I I mean 1:30:00 yeah like I said I mean we are we are 1:30:03 getting to sort of step into a post-s 1:30:05 Sci-Fi world where where you know we're 1:30:08 getting to see for real 1:30:10 why are you crying what's wrong 1:30:13 why are you whining you want to go see 1:30:14 Mama 1:30:16 let me get some more oh hang on Dougie 1:30:28 all right I need water I need water 1:30:33 um we've drawn the craftsmanship it's 1:30:35 not all of what gives art its value but 1:30:38 it's a big part of it 1:30:41 we're drawing the craftsmanship 1:30:45 well I think I know what you're saying 1:30:47 here 1:30:51 um 1:30:54 with with these tools you don't need 1:30:58 the level of skill to do a certain 1:31:00 quality of work that you once did if 1:31:03 you're doing woodworking you still need 1:31:04 those skills but something like 1:31:06 illustration especially if you're a 1:31:08 digital artist all of a sudden these 1:31:10 tools um just do that there's there's a 1:31:13 there's a really heartbreaking Reddit 1:31:15 post about a 3D artist in a 10 person 1:31:17 company there's two 3D artists there 1:31:20 and you basically it's basically this 1:31:22 letter of lament talking about I don't 1:31:23 enjoy my job anymore and I'm leaving it 1:31:25 I'm leaving the profession because I 1:31:27 love 3D modeling and now I'm just a 1:31:29 prompter and a curator and so he's 1:31:31 talking about that idea of craftsmanship 1:31:33 he enjoyed the craftsmanship and that's 1:31:35 gone 1:31:36 I think that's going to happen to a lot 1:31:38 of people 1:31:40 um 1:31:41 and and and those some of those people I 1:31:43 feel really bad for if you've been an 1:31:45 illustrator for 30 years and you really 1:31:46 love illustrating the value of that work 1:31:50 um is going to drop dramatically 1:31:53 um if if the output that you produce is 1:31:56 you know the physical form and and 1:31:58 you've still got to market for that 1:32:00 great 1:32:01 um but I think that's going to be few 1:32:02 and far between 1:32:04 um 1:32:05 that said 1:32:06 kind of like kind of like you know 1:32:08 people that lose are losing their jobs 1:32:10 are going to create new companies 1:32:13 um the kinds of craftsmanship that it 1:32:16 requires to do truly Innovative AI art 1:32:18 is going to become a new 1:32:21 art form it's going to be a new kind of 1:32:23 craftsmanship there are already people 1:32:25 that 1:32:27 get stuff out of mid-journey that I 1:32:29 can't understand how they do it and they 1:32:30 do it consistently and it's like it's 1:32:32 like Voodoo to me and I know how the 1:32:34 tools work right so so craftsmanship 1:32:38 um the best part is when my hair does 1:32:39 that I know I I I don't know what's 1:32:42 going on with the hair but thank you 1:32:45 um 1:32:46 see 1:32:48 da 1:32:49 [Music] 1:32:53 the scrolling of the the comments in 1:32:55 this app is just really shitty 1:32:59 someone got them pause I don't know what 1:33:01 that means 1:33:03 it sounds like you're talking to each 1:33:04 other at this point which is nice 1:33:08 [Music] 1:33:08 um 1:33:10 really good at informational stuff 1:33:11 please keep up the good work thank you 1:33:13 Hello Kitty where the hell is 1:33:15 key reading the comments from because it 1:33:18 ain't here I don't know I'm just going 1:33:19 back through the comments and reading 1:33:20 them 1:33:21 I don't know that's not gonna happen 1:33:25 um 1:33:26 uh he got them paused Hello Kitty 1:33:27 exactly yeah I'm not I don't know what's 1:33:29 going on way down at the bottom I'm just 1:33:31 sort of slowly reading and working my 1:33:32 down way down through the comments this 1:33:34 is my third live I don't know how to do 1:33:36 this [ __ ] I'm an old guy so give me a 1:33:39 break I got hair like this you know your 1:33:43 expectations should be very low at this 1:33:45 point I would think 1:33:47 um how should traditional data science 1:33:49 ml engineer pivot their career with the 1:33:52 emerging llms um 1:33:57 yeah that's an interesting one I've got 1:33:58 a good buddy of mine Richard Boyd has 1:34:00 been in AI for like a decade and and 1:34:02 he's built a lot of things on some of 1:34:04 the earlier machine learning models and 1:34:07 and some of the earlier 1:34:08 um 1:34:10 llms gpt2 and things like that and he is 1:34:16 justifiably a little bitter right now 1:34:18 because he's like you know I've been 1:34:19 doing this for a decade and all of a 1:34:20 sudden this chat GPT thing pops out and 1:34:23 people like me are like oh the AI is 1:34:25 going to be big 1:34:27 um 1:34:29 you know I I would say 1:34:32 um 1:34:37 it's a really interesting time it 1:34:39 depends on what you want to do I I would 1:34:41 say big corporations 1:34:44 um are still going to need data 1:34:46 scientists and and machine learning 1:34:49 Specialists and because the I I think 1:34:52 one of the big areas of innovation is 1:34:54 going to be around tapping into private 1:34:56 data sets so getting internal data sets 1:35:00 prepared to be you know to to fine-tune 1:35:03 these large language models 1:35:06 um security privacy like there's there's 1:35:08 a whole tremendous amount of of work 1:35:10 that needs to be done for big 1:35:12 corporations to use these things 1:35:13 effectively and safely 1:35:16 um so if you want to work in that 1:35:17 environment then I would say I would say 1:35:19 you know 1:35:21 start talking to cios and ctOS that have 1:35:24 their [ __ ] together and are not hiding 1:35:25 from AI but are embracing it a lot of 1:35:27 the big companies have been doing AI for 1:35:29 years but you want to find oh nice thank 1:35:31 you tip of the tick tock hat 1:35:34 um 1:35:36 if if you want to do something more 1:35:38 entrepreneurial that like I would almost 1:35:40 say that there's a piece of this that's 1:35:42 kind of forget what you know forget how 1:35:45 how 1:35:47 AI models were trained historically and 1:35:49 just kind of lean into to the the 1:35:51 essentially from Transformer forward 1:35:53 right from 2017 forward 1:35:56 um and then and then if if there's I 1:35:58 don't know what the next Transformer is 1:36:00 I don't know if it's come out yet like 1:36:01 you might know that better than I do so 1:36:04 um so I would say just kind of learn the 1:36:06 way these new tools are working and and 1:36:09 the phase that we're moving into in my 1:36:11 opinion is is not so much can Big 1:36:14 corporations with big data sets use AI 1:36:16 they've been using it for years this is 1:36:18 more like 1:36:19 real people having access to these tools 1:36:22 what are they going to do with it how 1:36:23 are they going to add value it's more 1:36:24 like how do you use the tools rather 1:36:26 than creating the tools so I would say 1:36:28 flip your your mindset to the how are 1:36:32 the tools being used versus how do you 1:36:33 create them that might be a that might 1:36:35 be a pivot 1:36:36 that could work 1:36:38 um new Academia actually sounds good 1:36:40 yeah I know here's the thing like like I 1:36:44 when I play this stuff out if if AI 1:36:47 automates all of the repetitive low 1:36:50 value [ __ ] that we do 1:36:52 and then we're free to do high-level 1:36:55 thinking high level creative and we're 1:36:57 also free to connect with one another 1:36:59 again like there's there's a there's a 1:37:01 vision there's a version of the future 1:37:03 that that 1:37:05 we become better people we become 1:37:07 reconnected we we become re-engaged and 1:37:10 the machines do all the [ __ ] work I 1:37:13 actually think that sounds good for 1:37:14 Academia I think it sounds good for work 1:37:16 life too 1:37:18 um we've we've lived the same life I'm 1:37:20 candy that's awesome 1:37:22 um 1:37:23 all right so he's responding to people 1:37:25 from like 10 minutes ago yes Hello Kitty 1:37:27 sorry about that I am I am way back when 1:37:30 um just got the number two 1:37:32 gifter badge I don't know what that 1:37:34 means are the badges good I don't 1:37:37 [ __ ] know 1:37:39 you can send me badges I don't know if 1:37:41 it's a good thing or a bad thing all 1:37:42 right I predict a kind of digital 1:37:44 gentrification will happen where 1:37:46 websites with human content die out 1:37:51 yeah I the the whole idea of websites is 1:37:55 a really interesting one I mean I 1:37:56 started one of the first digital 1:37:57 agencies I built a lot of the first 1:38:00 websites so I have I have a particular 1:38:03 particular love for websites but 1:38:08 when you have tools that know all the 1:38:11 stuff and then can dynamically generate 1:38:14 anything 1:38:16 do you even need a website now the 1:38:19 answer is yes like when movies came out 1:38:21 you could say technically we don't need 1:38:23 plays anymore but we still have Broadway 1:38:25 so I think we're still going to have 1:38:27 websites but I think websites as the 1:38:29 primary 1:38:31 destination for where you get 1:38:33 information about a company 1:38:35 I think that starts to shift so I've got 1:38:37 a friend Steve who who does zero shoes 1:38:39 he does minimum Minimalist Shoes 1:38:42 and he spends a tremendous amount of 1:38:44 time effort and energy driving traffic 1:38:46 to his website 1:38:49 but now we have these tools where if 1:38:51 I've got a sore back I could start 1:38:53 investigating why I might have a sore 1:38:54 back and and it might lead me down a 1:38:56 path to Minimalist Shoes and what that 1:38:59 concept's all about and what the 1:39:00 theories are and how that might help my 1:39:02 back and then I might say well who are 1:39:05 some companies that make shoes like this 1:39:06 and you know his might be one of the 1:39:08 companies in there and I'm like well I 1:39:10 like this style of shoe does anyone have 1:39:12 those styles of shoes and upcome 1:39:13 pictures of those shoes and it's like 1:39:15 well do they have this one in my size 1:39:17 and it does and then I just buy it right 1:39:19 there and two days later it shows up at 1:39:20 my doorstep 1:39:22 I never went to his website 1:39:24 um he didn't necessarily pay to have any 1:39:26 of that SEO content show up in my 1:39:29 answers that showed up organically in 1:39:31 this interaction I had trying to make my 1:39:33 back hurt less right 1:39:36 um so so 1:39:39 I I think the importance of websites 1:39:42 certainly goes down 1:39:44 um 1:39:46 I would like to think that because 1:39:50 the complexity of websites of building 1:39:53 websites with CSS and and with 1:39:56 responsive design is so complicated 1:39:58 right now I would like to believe that 1:40:00 what actually happens is 1:40:03 the AI takes care of the coding 1:40:06 and people with good ideas can come up 1:40:08 with some actual creative websites I am 1:40:11 so [ __ ] sick sick of scrolling 1:40:15 Parallax websites that are the latest 1:40:17 web press 1:40:19 flipping template 1:40:21 um maybe what we start to see is 1:40:23 actually really exciting websites again 1:40:24 that was one of the really exciting 1:40:26 things about the mid 90s is we were kind 1:40:29 of inventing this [ __ ] as we went along 1:40:30 and we were constantly coming up with 1:40:33 new ideas and New Concepts and nothing 1:40:35 was systematized and because of that the 1:40:37 web was this incredibly creative place 1:40:39 and and some websites were more like art 1:40:41 experiences than e-commerce sites and 1:40:44 now everything's been systematized and 1:40:47 it's all boring as [ __ ] so it would be 1:40:50 nice to have it not be boring again so I 1:40:52 think that's a possibility 1:40:54 1000k likes thank you 1:40:58 um 1:40:59 oh yes Hello Kitty if if you're feeling 1:41:02 I'm not answering your questions I just 1:41:03 haven't gotten to them yet I'm sorry 1:41:06 about that 1:41:08 um kids writing and editing skills will 1:41:10 atrophy and then disappear well 1:41:14 you know their math skills are different 1:41:17 than they used to be because we have 1:41:18 calculators they'll have different tools 1:41:20 I would argue that generating a lot of 1:41:23 content curating it refining it I think 1:41:27 it's just going to be different skills I 1:41:28 I think that you know listen you could 1:41:31 certainly argue that if I'm a shitty 1:41:35 writer GPT could be like training wheels 1:41:38 for me because it'll take my shitty 1:41:39 writing and rewrite it better and that 1:41:41 might actually teach me to be a better 1:41:42 writer so I don't necessarily agree that 1:41:45 their skills will atrophy but I 1:41:47 certainly think they're going to change 1:41:48 and and what's more valuable is going to 1:41:50 change 1:41:51 um thank God I didn't go to law school 1:41:52 yeah I I agree except I think anyone 1:41:56 that went to intellectual property law 1:41:57 school 1:41:59 um their next 20 years is set the IP 1:42:01 lawyers are going to make a fortune in 1:42:04 the next 20 years it's going to be a 1:42:05 nightmare it's hard to say children are 1:42:08 thieves yeah yeah children will figure 1:42:09 it out 1:42:10 I've gone live for 90 minutes jeez don't 1:42:13 forget to take a break I gotta go I 1:42:15 gotta go I'm this this is this is uh 1:42:18 this is ridiculous at this point 1:42:21 um just another problem Gregory since 1:42:22 kids okay uh you're talking with each 1:42:25 other which I think is fine that's 1:42:26 awesome 1:42:27 let me see if I can find a Hello Kitty 1:42:29 in here 1:42:33 at what point don't we need oh do we 1:42:36 need a standard wage for people I didn't 1:42:38 get Andrew Yang's 1:42:40 um um 1:42:40 [Music] 1:42:43 um Universal basic income until I 1:42:46 started digging into this stuff now all 1:42:48 of a sudden I understand it I don't know 1:42:49 if that's a complete answer but I 1:42:51 certainly think 1:42:52 um one of the things Sam Altman talks 1:42:54 about is as companies we were talking 1:42:57 earlier about 1:42:58 um PE firms just sort of milking the 1:43:01 profitability out of companies and and 1:43:02 cutting costs 1:43:05 um if you tax companies that that really 1:43:07 milk the [ __ ] out of these AI 1:43:09 Technologies you could use that to fund 1:43:11 a universal basic income for the 1:43:13 displaced people so I don't I don't know 1:43:15 enough about economics but but I 1:43:18 something's going to have to be dealt 1:43:19 with short term I think there's long 1:43:22 term there's a lot of opportunity here 1:43:25 um 1:43:26 let's see all right um my poor College 1:43:29 art major who is a brilliant artist I 1:43:31 know it's [ __ ] tragic my wife's an 1:43:33 artist 1:43:35 I think I for me it's illustrators like 1:43:37 illustrators who've got just this the 1:43:39 ability for someone to draw something 1:43:42 was always like a miracle to me and now 1:43:44 the fact that I can draw something that 1:43:46 looks good like that with with AI is 1:43:49 like a miracle but it it just it makes 1:43:51 me sad for people 1:43:53 that are really good at that 1:43:56 will open AI roll out plugins for all 1:44:00 plus users yeah I've gotten I've gotten 1:44:03 access to them I'm just a plus user and 1:44:05 I got on the wait list early 1:44:07 um but I don't have some of their latest 1:44:08 ones so I think they're just kind of 1:44:09 slowly rolling it out to people it's I'm 1:44:12 sure it's just kind of a list and as 1:44:14 they roll it out to different levels 1:44:15 it'll get there it'll it'll get there 1:44:17 we're early 1:44:19 um love your videos oh thank you very 1:44:21 much I appreciate that 1:44:23 um 1:44:23 would AI replace human touch 1:44:26 transhumanism AI human marriage laws 1:44:29 changing I I have no idea I mean that 1:44:31 that's a few more years out than I I 1:44:33 have any visibility into but yeah I 1:44:35 think 1:44:36 I think that people are going to 1:44:38 absolutely have relationships with with 1:44:40 Bots I think the Bots are gonna get 1:44:43 remarkably human and and and remarkably 1:44:46 nuanced they're already nuanced like 1:44:48 Chach EBT is is is remarkably nuanced in 1:44:51 a lot of its responses when you talk 1:44:53 about personal stuff 1:44:55 um 1:44:56 I remember we we built a website for the 1:44:59 California almond board back in 1996 I 1:45:03 think 1:45:04 and we made 1:45:06 um just like an email response bot we we 1:45:08 had this Fitness guy I forget what his 1:45:10 name was but he was he was like this 1:45:12 famous Fitness guy and we basically made 1:45:14 like an email response thing where this 1:45:17 guy would email you back Hey Joe you 1:45:19 know 1:45:20 um it's it's been a couple of days since 1:45:22 we've talked you know I hope you're 1:45:24 eating well and doing this and and so it 1:45:26 was just this hard-coded email thing 1:45:28 with you know when when someone signed 1:45:31 up we would send something two days 1:45:32 later and we would kind of respond back 1:45:34 and forth people thought it was the real 1:45:36 guy they had they they had 1:45:38 a very real relationship with this guy 1:45:40 that they thought was going back and 1:45:42 forth with them so I I think I think in 1:45:45 very short order we're going to see you 1:45:47 know people that have relationships with 1:45:49 these Bots 1:45:50 um I don't think it's necessarily a bad 1:45:51 thing like if someone's lonely and this 1:45:53 thing fills a gap then more power to him 1:45:57 do I work within the industry 1:46:00 um yeah I've got an AI salon so we meet 1:46:04 bi-weekly if you go to my bio there's 1:46:06 links to my uh to the stuff I'm doing 1:46:10 um I've got an art project on Instagram 1:46:11 and Tick Tock called Kyle Shannon dreams 1:46:14 I've got a newsletter called everyday AI 1:46:16 I've completely reimagined my company 1:46:19 storyvine as an AI powered platform 1:46:23 moving forward so I speak a fair amount 1:46:26 in the industry so I guess so I'm a cool 1:46:28 dude thank you 1:46:30 thanks for sharing your knowledge you're 1:46:32 welcome I'm using seed prompts is one 1:46:34 key to image generation consistency but 1:46:37 there are tricks yeah exactly there's 1:46:39 you know using using seeds with image 1:46:41 generation and using um image to image 1:46:44 prompting 1:46:45 um uh it's really good one of the 1:46:47 artists we had at the salon doesn't do 1:46:49 prompting anymore he just does image to 1:46:51 image stuff 1:46:52 um so there's definitely arts and ways 1:46:54 to do it our expectations keep Rising 1:46:56 with each broadcast you make what for my 1:46:58 hair yeah 1:47:01 all right 1:47:03 um let's see entry level job to get into 1:47:05 the AI field honestly just start 1:47:08 learning AI we had one of the women that 1:47:11 joined the AI Salon 1:47:12 um 1:47:14 um join the organizers you know group 1:47:16 and put it on her LinkedIn thing and got 1:47:19 a job in AI within three weeks of 1:47:21 joining the salon so we're so early with 1:47:24 this AI stuff 1:47:26 that just get curious with it start 1:47:29 learning chat GPT start learning image 1:47:32 generation just start with those two 1:47:33 start doing projects solving things get 1:47:35 decently confident with it 1:47:37 and then start talking about it talk to 1:47:39 your friends about it 1:47:41 and at some point someone will go I need 1:47:44 to know something about Ai and they'll 1:47:45 Point them your direction because you've 1:47:47 just been rambling on like I do 1:47:49 incessantly so just get curious we're 1:47:52 very early so there's massive amounts of 1:47:54 opportunity if you get in 1:47:57 um 1:47:58 oh 1:47:59 that's nice guys let's support this 1:48:01 broadcast by tapping like continually I 1:48:03 assume that's a good thing but thank you 1:48:05 appreciate that let's build a first AI 1:48:07 cockpit all your AI Tools in One 1:48:09 dashboard yeah that kind of stuff is 1:48:11 like that's the thing the the interface 1:48:14 for all these tools is such [ __ ] right 1:48:16 now it's so horrible right now like 1:48:18 imagine having a cockpit where you've 1:48:21 just got all these tools you've got all 1:48:23 these different agents I've got my 1:48:24 personal agent I've got my work agent 1:48:26 I've got my I don't know my AI uh learn 1:48:30 about AI agent and and and you know they 1:48:33 they sort of run off and do their stuff 1:48:35 they come back and bring me stuff and 1:48:37 I've got you know some sort of again I I 1:48:40 go back to this this idea of I think I 1:48:42 think the people that are going to be 1:48:45 um really masterful with these tools are 1:48:47 the ones that think like a conductor 1:48:48 right you've got the Symphony of tools 1:48:51 and it's your job to kind of you know 1:48:53 spin them up spin them down and and 1:48:55 figure out when to use them I think 1:48:57 that's going to be the the Big Tool 1:48:59 um at what point do we need standard 1:49:02 wage I talked about that 1:49:04 um corporations will pretend humans work 1:49:06 when AI do it and keep the prices High 1:49:09 yeah there's going to be a bunch of 1:49:10 cynical [ __ ] I think ad agencies 1:49:14 I think their time and material 1:49:17 um business model is is on a short plank 1:49:20 right now 1:49:21 um but I think they're going to fight 1:49:22 for that as long as they can because 1:49:24 it's so profitable but I think they're 1:49:26 in trouble 1:49:27 hey I just finished unraveling protein 1:49:30 synthesis that would have been that will 1:49:32 have incredible medical benefits I the 1:49:35 the amount of medical breakthroughs 1:49:37 we're going to see in the next five 1:49:40 years are going to be mind-blowing like 1:49:42 like cure cancer cure genetic disease 1:49:45 that kind of shit's coming it's it's 1:49:47 amazing 1:49:49 um guys each person here thank you 1:49:52 should should do a lot of likes um but 1:49:54 doesn't the AI have to pull that data 1:49:57 from a website well it's not really 1:49:59 pulling data if you look at how this 1:50:01 stuff actually works it's trained on all 1:50:03 the data 1:50:04 but then what it does is it basically 1:50:06 just kind of puts words in these 1:50:08 mathematical semantic clouds of meaning 1:50:12 that the words all kind of know what it 1:50:15 kind of knows what the meaning of all 1:50:17 the words is are in relationship to one 1:50:20 another it's it's truly remarkable 1:50:22 mathematically I don't understand the 1:50:24 math but I understand it conceptually 1:50:27 um 1:50:28 and when you were write a prompt what 1:50:30 it's literally doing is saying based on 1:50:32 all the words I know what's the next 1:50:33 most likely word 1:50:35 to to answer that prompt and then what's 1:50:37 the most 1:50:39 um likely word after that and the one 1:50:41 after that so it's literally writing 1:50:43 word by word based on all the stuff it 1:50:46 knows so it's not really pulling data 1:50:48 from websites that's this idea of AI 1:50:52 copying and pasting other people's work 1:50:53 is just not accurate 1:50:55 what about a corporation 1:50:58 um paying to bias I I assume that means 1:51:02 so so here's the thing about bias you 1:51:04 know everyone's got their own bias 1:51:06 there's not going to be a perfect data 1:51:08 set there's not going to be a perfect 1:51:09 llm that's got zero bias because we all 1:51:11 have bias so you know I might see an llm 1:51:14 that leans in the direction I like and 1:51:16 I'm like oh that one's perfect and then 1:51:17 I go into another llm and in some 1:51:20 direction I don't like it I'm like this 1:51:21 is awful this is really biased 1:51:23 um so I think what we're going to see is 1:51:25 is 1:51:26 you'll get to choose you'll get to there 1:51:29 there will be some level of transparency 1:51:30 about where where these things lean and 1:51:33 that could be a whole business is 1:51:34 figuring out what are the biases of 1:51:36 these llms and making that transparent 1:51:38 to people and let people self-select 1:51:40 into different models so I think we'll 1:51:42 start to see different models where 1:51:43 where you'll be able to choose your own 1:51:45 model and choose your own biases because 1:51:47 we're all biased we've all got our 1:51:49 stupid [ __ ] opinions we're we're 1:51:51 meaning making machines 1:51:54 um so will AI start to use only AI 1:51:57 content to generate AI content and 1:52:00 people stop generating now I don't think 1:52:02 so I think people are because because 1:52:04 you're curating stuff and you're um 1:52:07 refining stuff and you're publishing 1:52:09 stuff there's still a lot of human 1:52:11 activity in it 1:52:13 um so what we choose to throw out versus 1:52:15 what we choose to public publish is 1:52:18 going to train it to to be more 1:52:20 human-like so so I I don't think it's I 1:52:24 don't think it's quite as Bleak as it 1:52:25 might feel right now I know it feels a 1:52:27 little shitty and Bleak but you know 1:52:29 whatever 1:52:31 uh 1:52:33 um oh this thing jumps around I can't 1:52:36 find we need to tax the robot so 1:52:37 actually we need to text the 1:52:38 corporations that profit massively off 1:52:41 the robots 1:52:43 um I really want to know if AI will 1:52:44 start learning from itself instead of 1:52:46 human generated content yeah it will and 1:52:48 it already is 1:52:50 um 1:52:51 will AI Propel Pepe to flip Bitcoin I 1:52:55 think AI is going to drive a lot of 1:52:56 blockchain and nft adoption actually 1:53:01 Hello Kitty she she's still here or Halo 1:53:04 Kitty Hello Kitty hi there I haven't 1:53:07 seen the question yet uh here's a Hello 1:53:08 Kitty question I just really want to 1:53:09 know if AI will start learning from 1:53:11 itself oh that was that was your 1:53:13 question 1:53:14 um 1:53:14 yeah so so 1:53:17 um there's there's a 1:53:20 a company that I'm I'm kind of intrigued 1:53:22 by right now called anthropic which is a 1:53:24 bunch of EX open AI people 1:53:27 um that have created what's called a 1:53:28 constitutional learning model and what 1:53:30 that is is the Constitution is a set of 1:53:32 rules first do no evil you know do good 1:53:36 for Humanity create Prosperity whatever 1:53:39 it might be they come up with the rules 1:53:41 and then what when you prompt it it 1:53:44 answers you it then weighs that answer 1:53:47 against the Constitution and if it fails 1:53:49 it basically says no you know that's a 1:53:52 the a bad answer based on these 1:53:55 constitutional rules give me another one 1:53:56 and so so it's actually kind of 1:53:59 self-referentially learning 1:54:02 um to give answers that are in support 1:54:04 of the Constitution I think that's a 1:54:06 really interesting thing so I think I 1:54:08 think that and then you also see every 1:54:11 time a new paper comes out right now 1:54:13 like three days later you'll see another 1:54:14 paper that incorporates that paper into 1:54:16 other papers and it creates a new 1:54:18 technology so so and and the the auto 1:54:21 GPT tools baby AGI these autonomous 1:54:24 agents are using 1:54:26 um large language models to prompt 1:54:28 themselves and and learn and they've got 1:54:31 memory so so yeah 1:54:33 um these things are start are going to 1:54:36 start to get exponentially smarter 1:54:38 because they're training themselves 1:54:41 um 1:54:43 my sister is a full-time illustrator I 1:54:45 know I'm sorry about that 1:54:47 um she should be learning these tools 1:54:49 though because my it is my deep belief 1:54:52 that people who are good at a specific 1:54:54 task are going to be better at using 1:54:56 these tools than people who were not 1:54:59 artists 1:55:01 the fact that I am not ignoring what's 1:55:03 that say hand art for AI art shows the 1:55:06 dire competition already yeah I know 1:55:08 I've heard that from artists that a lot 1:55:10 of painters right now are kind of just 1:55:11 obsessed with this AI stuff because it's 1:55:14 it's so remarkable it really lets you 1:55:16 find a new voice as an artist 1:55:18 um you should hear me and Alexa argue 1:55:20 yeah I'm sure 1:55:22 um Can AI help in Psychology therapy 1:55:25 yeah so so you can 1:55:27 um because there's safety guard rails on 1:55:30 this I've done this a couple of times um 1:55:32 with some psychological questions I had 1:55:34 you can tell it to act like a certain 1:55:35 like you wanted to act like a young and 1:55:37 psychologist or you wanted to act like a 1:55:40 transcendental meditation coach or 1:55:42 whatever so so you can set up 1:55:45 um how you want Chachi PT to act and 1:55:48 then interact with it in that way it 1:55:50 will give you some warnings like I'm not 1:55:51 a real doctor so you should seek real 1:55:53 medical advice but then it will interact 1:55:55 with you in that in that Persona and 1:55:58 it's it's pretty good it gives very 1:56:00 nuanced answers AI is an entity yeah 1:56:03 it's getting there 1:56:05 um ever seen iRobot I did see iRobot I 1:56:08 don't remember what it was about hyper 1:56:10 Vector databases make more sense 1:56:13 yeah I don't know what a hyper Vector 1:56:16 database is I know what a vector 1:56:17 database is but I don't know what a 1:56:18 hyper one is I was also a screenwriter 1:56:21 and have a great AI script concept yeah 1:56:24 I have a I have a screenplay called 1:56:26 virtue that was about 1:56:28 um 1:56:30 um transplanting 1:56:32 um a chip in the base of people's brains 1:56:35 and you could remote control them and 1:56:37 and feed them someone else's life 1:56:40 experience so you could have the cop go 1:56:42 out and commit the murder but they 1:56:44 actually experienced getting laid so it 1:56:46 was a Manchurian Candidate kind of thing 1:56:48 so yeah there's there's a lot of good 1:56:49 stories out there 1:56:52 um 1:56:53 can't imagine enough high level thinking 1:56:55 jobs to replace those lost the benefits 1:56:58 uh this benefits the few educated I 1:57:01 agree like listen there's going to be 1:57:02 lots of haves and have-nots but the 1:57:05 have-nots do have access to the same 1:57:07 tools and these tools are remarkable so 1:57:10 I I think there's a silver lining there 1:57:12 but people are going to have to be 1:57:15 um 1:57:16 they're gonna have to be ambitious and 1:57:17 curious and dig in it's going to be easy 1:57:20 to say you know I was just displaced and 1:57:22 this is really [ __ ] up and a lot of it 1:57:24 is going to just be [ __ ] up but anyone 1:57:27 who 1:57:28 takes the time to learn this stuff I 1:57:30 think there's a massive amount of 1:57:31 opportunity 1:57:33 uh 1:57:34 um let's see voice control when AI gives 1:57:37 you access to physically 1:57:40 directed sculpting tools imagine the 1:57:43 impact on sculptors well 3D 3D printing 1:57:46 right now I I mean listen there there's 1:57:49 a there's a 1:57:51 there's a good side to the 1:57:54 to being able to generate you know 3D 1:57:57 objects out of this 1:57:58 I think that we're going to see a level 1:58:00 of innovation in art and creativity the 1:58:03 likes of which we've never seen before 1:58:05 there's a the official mid-journey group 1:58:08 on Facebook 1:58:09 um one of the things that I saw that 1:58:11 just blew my mind and I'm like I want 1:58:13 that 1:58:14 someone 1:58:16 um did Star Wars themed KitchenAid 1:58:19 mixers so it's like the first one I saw 1:58:21 was like R2D2's head upside down was the 1:58:24 mixing bowl and then the the rest of the 1:58:26 thing looked like his body and there was 1:58:27 a C-3PO one and they were just [ __ ] 1:58:30 cool and and like they had they had 1:58:32 relief they had you know they were they 1:58:34 were they were just these sculptural 1:58:35 beautiful KitchenAid mixers that were 1:58:37 done in mid-journey I was like I want 1:58:39 that thing so I think I think sculptors 1:58:42 if if they get their heads around these 1:58:44 tools are going to create new forms and 1:58:46 new Expressions that are very much their 1:58:48 voice but there's something entirely new 1:58:50 so I again I 1:58:53 you know I don't think it's US versus 1:58:55 the robots I think it's these are tools 1:58:58 we get to use and if I'm an artist I'm 1:59:01 going to use these tools in a different 1:59:02 way than if I'm you know an accountant 1:59:07 um but but we get to use them but it's 1:59:08 it's a mindset a mindset shift that has 1:59:11 to happen for it not to feel awful 1:59:15 um iRobot literally has the same Three 1:59:17 Laws I just described oh yeah you know 1:59:19 first do no evil 1:59:22 um create Prosperity things like that 1:59:24 yeah 1:59:26 um this reminds me of the change when 1:59:27 PCS were introduced this is exactly the 1:59:29 same thing PC so I have three big 1:59:32 um events in my life the when I was in 1:59:35 seventh grade I walked into a math 1:59:37 classroom and there was a Radio Shack 1:59:39 TRS-80 on every desk 1:59:42 and I remember being just too young to 1:59:44 be part of the PC Revolution but I knew 1:59:46 it was a big deal 1:59:47 and then there was 1994 when I 1:59:49 discovered the web and I'm like oh my 1:59:50 God this is just like the PC Revolution 1:59:53 the world just changed I get to play in 1:59:55 that and that I played in that was fun 1:59:57 and the the next one was November 30th 2:00:00 2022 with chat EPT I think I think it's 2:00:04 as big as that I agree 2:00:06 um I look like a mix of Jay Leno and 2:00:08 Rosie O'Donnell thank you is it the hair 2:00:13 all right Hey listen uh thank you 2:00:15 everyone for your time I gotta run I've 2:00:17 been on here for like two hours and I 2:00:19 got work tomorrow I think I have I have 2:00:21 to get up early uh anyway 2:00:24 um oh it's not the same thing as when 2:00:25 the PC was introduced this is more like 2:00:27 when textiles moving to Asia yeah this 2:00:30 is like the tractor this is like the 2:00:31 printing press this is you can I mean 2:00:34 that's the thing about these major 2:00:35 technological revolutions you know we 2:00:39 will only know in in the hindsight of 2:00:40 History how impactful this was but this 2:00:43 feels like one of the big ones this 2:00:44 feels like writing the printing press 2:00:48 the Industrial Revolution like this is 2:00:50 this is big this is this is augmented 2:00:54 um human intelligence so we're in a 2:00:58 we're in a very different space Oh wait 2:01:00 check out quanta Magazine on Vector 2:01:02 space I'll do that because Vector Space 2:01:04 is really interesting to me all right 2:01:06 everybody thank you very much uh I 2:01:08 appreciate the the participation and the 2:01:10 likes and the little gifts and all the 2:01:12 stuff I got so talk to you
