Description

Nano Banana 2 - Perplexity Computer - The Great Repurpose... A little something for everyone. Oh, and a Singing Dog! Kyle explores the practical side of the AI revolution, testing the newly released Perplexity Computer and Google’s latest image generation models. He demonstrates how AI agents can handle tedious tasks like social media outreach, offering a functional workaround for those who struggle with traditional organizational workflows. The discussion also highlights major industry shifts, including Jack Dorsey’s recent layoffs, which signal a move toward smaller, flatter, and more efficient AI-driven teams. Beyond the hardware, Kyle argues that the future belongs to artists and polymaths who use AI for self-expression rather than just productivity. He stresses that true understanding only comes through hands-on experience and interacting with these entities as creative partners. By building small "villages" or learning cohorts, individuals can better navigate upcoming economic changes and find new ways to tell stories and solve problems. #AI,#Perplexity,#FutureOfWork,#GenerativeAI,#TechTrends,#CreativeFreedom,#Agents,#DigitalTransformation Chapters: 00:00:00 Opening Performance 00:01:46 Email Management Struggles 00:02:58 Perplexity Subscription Update 00:04:43 AI Social Engagement 00:07:21 Experiencing AI Tools 00:08:55 Levels of Mastery 00:10:03 Artists in AI 00:13:53 Anthropic Guardrails Debate 00:17:04 Notebook LM Insights 00:19:01 Polymath Advantage Era 00:20:58 Gen X AI Adoption 00:22:33 Autonomous Agent Calls 00:25:06 Economic Job Impact 00:28:05 Corporate Rightsizing Trends 00:32:21 Building Small Cohorts 00:36:44 Building Your Raft 00:38:44 Return to Villagers 00:41:56 The Great Repurpose 00:46:44 Local Hardware Specs 00:54:00 OpenClaw Memory Systems 00:59:02 Perplexity Computer Demo 01:03:00 Connecting API Tools 01:10:42 Testing Search Agents 01:15:43 Gemini Image Generation 01:21:04 Creating AI Infographics

0:01 Are you ready for some football?
0:06 [music]
0:34 Standing between
0:37 you and a hard place is insane. [music]
0:44 Standing to near
0:46 you and the fire makes it clear.
0:53 Your trouble to me.
0:59 Rich trouble. Can't you see?
1:05 Leaning in close.
1:08 Smell of your perfume scares me most.
1:14 leaning away. Hey,
1:17 you feel stronger every [singing] day.
1:24 >> You're troubled tonight.
1:30 Real trouble. Can't you see?
1:39 Um, still don't know the rest of the
1:41 lyrics to the song I wrote. [laughter]
1:47 Thank you. Thank you, Silver Fox and
1:49 Valley. Appreciate that. Very kind
1:51 words. Kyle, [music] I shared a Google
1:53 doc with you. It's your email. If you're
1:56 ever curious and have the time to see
1:58 it, I will take a look. I I will tell
2:01 you, Brandon can confirm this. A lot of
2:03 people can confirm this. My relationship
2:06 with my email inboxes in the past six
2:09 months has been atrocious.
2:13 Like bad. Like just I go days without
2:16 checking it. And it's it's just it's
2:18 it's a it's a it's a crime scene.
2:22 [laughter]
2:24 I'll give it to Adam. Adam Adam's going
2:27 to help. The AIS are going to help.
2:33 I actually um one of the things that
2:36 I'll talk a little bit about tonight, I
2:37 don't know enough about it to talk with
2:39 any authority. Well, I I don't know
2:42 enough about anything to talk with any
2:44 authority. I just talk about it anyway.
2:47 [laughter]
2:48 Sir, sir, what pray chance? What are
2:52 your qualifications?
2:53 Um
2:56 [clears throat]
2:57 but
2:58 I switched up some subscriptions. I
3:00 canceled my Gemini Ultra subscription
3:02 today, which was 250 bucks a month that
3:06 was being uh augmented uh by by the AI
3:10 salon. And uh I got rid of that and I
3:13 picked up a Perplexity Max subscription
3:16 um because Perplexity came out with
3:18 Perplexity Computer today and it is
3:22 essentially like Claudebot, but it's a
3:24 web-based. It's already there. You can
3:26 just turn on Google Drive, Gmail, 60
3:29 different apps. You can just turn them
3:30 on and then this thing can do [ __ ] with
3:32 it. Um, I didn't turn anything on. I
3:36 just I just came up with an idea for a
3:39 prompt um and had it do it. And the idea
3:42 was um you know those you know
3:46 [laughter]
3:47 you know you know when you I don't know
3:49 if you all experience this but I do when
3:51 when you're feeling like how the hell am
3:53 I supposed to like grow like my ex
3:56 account or whatever like the YouTube
3:58 account
4:00 and then you watch those YouTube videos
4:02 and the guy's like well it's it's
4:04 actually quite trivial to increase your
4:06 follower count on the X. What you do is
4:09 what you're going to do is you're going
4:10 ahead and search for people that are
4:12 interested in the things you're
4:13 interested in. And then what you're
4:15 going to do is you're going to filter
4:16 them by people that have 10,000 or more
4:18 followers. And then what you're going to
4:19 do is you're going to create a list of
4:21 those people. And on an everyday basis,
4:23 I usually do mine at 7 in the morning.
4:26 You're going to go to the X and you're
4:27 going to look at that list of people and
4:29 you're going to read all of their
4:30 [ __ ] posts
4:33 and you're going to find ones that
4:34 you're interested in and then you're
4:36 going to respond to them.
4:40 Have you ever met anyone with ADHD?
4:43 You realize our brain doesn't work like
4:46 that, right? [laughter] So, so I said to
4:49 Perplexity Computer, I said, "Go do
4:53 that. Go find me people with 5,000 or
4:57 more followers." I said, "Read this
4:59 article on the great repurpose. Go find
5:01 people talking about purpose and meaning
5:03 in AI and then pick the top 20 that you
5:08 think are the most interesting.
5:10 Give them back to me with a proposed
5:12 draft of the response. And I didn't want
5:15 it to automatically do it because you
5:17 know how shitty AI is at writing.
5:20 Um, but it did it and it was like, you
5:23 know, here's here's the person, here's
5:25 how many followers they have, here's a
5:26 summary of what they said, here's my
5:28 proposed post to you. And then and there
5:31 was a hyperlink to it. So I'd just copy
5:32 the proposed post. I'd hyperlink to it.
5:34 I'd go read their post. I'd paste in the
5:37 proposed thing and then I'd rewrite it.
5:40 And then what I did was I took one of
5:42 the ones that I rewrote a lot and I
5:44 copied and pasted that and I put it back
5:46 into Perplexity and I said, "Here's one
5:48 that you, you know, you gave me. Here's
5:50 my rewrite of it. Now take this and go
5:53 rewrite all of your drafts to match this
5:55 rewrite." And then I did that one more
5:57 time. And now all of the drafts that are
5:59 in there essentially sound like me, are
6:01 broken up like me, have things. I still
6:03 went in and edited them. But like that's
6:06 a pretty good example of, you know,
6:09 being able to, you know, take something
6:10 that in the ideal world you you'd take
6:13 the time to do if you had a functional
6:16 prefront frontal cortex, but in my case,
6:21 that was just there. So that was a
6:23 little good experiment.
6:26 >> [music]
6:33 [music]
6:41 [music]
6:42 >> H how?
6:53 Ah,
6:57 [music]
7:07 [music]
7:12 [music]
7:19 [music]
7:21 um, I'm thinking about these agents. So,
7:24 so a couple of people have asked me in
7:27 the past two days, why are you doing
7:28 this? Why are you doing this? Why are
7:30 you doing this? Why are you doing
7:31 Cloudbot? Why? Why you doing this? Why
7:34 you doing this?
7:38 One of the things that I've learned
7:40 about AI
7:43 and these tools that just don't behave
7:46 the way computers have used to be behave
7:51 is that you can only experience it to
7:54 understand it
7:56 or you can only understand it if you
7:58 experience it. I can read every post on
8:01 Claudebot. I can re watch every [ __ ]
8:04 video on it,
8:06 but until you actually craft a thing, an
8:11 entity, and start interacting with it,
8:14 you don't really get what it is. And I
8:16 still don't get what it is. So, the
8:18 reason I'm doing all this is that
8:22 there's a whole new category of skills
8:24 that we're going to have to figure out
8:25 how to do,
8:28 which is essentially
8:32 understand what we want or what our job
8:35 wants us to do if we're being paid to do
8:37 something. What's the mission?
8:42 And you're going to have to know how to
8:43 ask for it.
8:47 And then you're gonna kind of have to
8:48 know how to monitor it. So that's so
8:50 like one level of this is just how do
8:53 you use them?
8:56 And then the next level once you get
8:58 that because you're not going to have to
8:59 build them. Like don't go build
9:00 Claudebot right now unless you're super
9:02 curious about it. Doesn't [ __ ]
9:03 matter. Like I feel like uh Perplexity
9:07 Computer might have you know it might
9:10 probably do what Claudebot does but
9:13 better.
9:15 I don't know yet. So,
9:18 but the next layer is
9:24 thinking about, well, what do I want
9:26 them to do? Right? If
9:31 I if if perplexity going out and find
9:33 the top 20 posts that are that are
9:35 somehow relevant to my thing, if if
9:37 that's a five minute operation, what am
9:40 I going to do with the other 23 hours
9:41 and 55 minutes of the day?
9:44 like thinking about do you have tasks
9:48 interesting enough, big enough to let
9:49 these things go and do things. Cams.
9:52 Yeah, sorry about that. [snorts] Um, so
9:55 that's kind of layer two. And then layer
9:57 three
10:00 is
10:03 the artists are going to help. The
10:05 artists are going to figure this [ __ ]
10:07 out. the artists,
10:11 people with humanities background,
10:14 philosophers and psychologists and
10:18 writers and
10:21 musicians and
10:23 illustrators and
10:27 business analysts. Because people that
10:34 can synthesize things
10:37 are going to look at these entities,
10:40 these tools, and they're not going to
10:43 look at them through an efficiency lens.
10:48 They're going to look at them through a
10:49 a self-expression lens.
10:52 And so for me, what's really interesting
10:53 about Adam, like one of the things
10:55 that's interesting about Adam is go do
10:57 the shitty work,
10:59 right? Um, learn take all of my random
11:03 stupid [ __ ] ideas that vomit out of
11:06 my head 20 times a day and organize them
11:10 for me. Like all of the efficiency stuff
11:12 makes sense to me. Like, I understand
11:14 it. I don't quite know how to ask for it
11:16 yet. I don't quite know how to do it
11:17 yet. As I learn this, I will share it
11:20 with you. But like we'll all figure this
11:21 out. This is figure outable stuff.
11:24 But the stuff that's really interesting
11:26 to me is how do I use Adam for a new
11:29 kind of storytelling? How do I use Adam
11:35 to allow me to to put a single idea in
11:38 and have Adam figure out what are the 30
11:41 different ways we could express that
11:43 idea and then narrow that down to the
11:45 top five and create an MVP of that idea
11:48 with five different expressions
11:52 and then I as an artist look at that and
11:54 go, "Ah, um, nah, none of that's good.
11:58 It all sucks." or I look at those five
12:01 things and I'm like
12:05 that gets that gets me a little a little
12:08 hot and bothered.
12:11 Let's take those five raw ideas, let's
12:13 refine them and let's do 20 more. Like
12:16 what are those projects going to be?
12:18 That's the thing that
12:21 I want to get it in my soul. I want to
12:24 understand it like viscerally.
12:35 Like we've got to we've got to thank and
12:39 nod to the technologists. Well, we don't
12:41 have to.
12:43 If you're losing your job right now or
12:44 your job's been completely decimated
12:46 because of AI, you can be pissed off at
12:48 them, too.
12:50 But the technologists got us the tools
12:52 to be able to do this. And now it's up
12:54 to us. Now it's up to the artists
13:00 to go, hm,
13:03 okay,
13:05 I see what you're doing there.
13:07 You know what would be really
13:08 interesting, Adam? If you went over in
13:10 this corner and did that.
13:13 And that's going to be a thing that no
13:14 one else will have thought of. And
13:16 that's where the interesting shit's
13:17 gonna happen because everyone's going to
13:20 do the stuff that everyone does.
13:22 By definition, everyone doing everything
13:25 is what everyone will do.
13:29 [music]
13:35 [music]
13:47 >> [music]
13:51 >> Um,
13:53 Chef Kelly, you're asking about
13:55 anthropic.
13:57 Can you talk about anthropic a bit? I
13:58 didn't read the whole thing, but
14:00 basically Daario Amade decided to tell
14:04 this particular administration to go
14:06 pound sand when the administration said,
14:08 "We want you to build um surveillance
14:11 and we want you to remove the safety
14:15 guard rails in Clawude
14:18 um so that it doesn't resist surveilling
14:21 Americans
14:23 um or killing them without human
14:26 supervision.
14:29 also the 60 Minutes interview. Yeah.
14:31 Yeah, I'll talk a little bit about that
14:32 one, too. Um,
14:36 and Dario Amade basically wrote a letter
14:38 back to them and said, "No, we're not
14:40 doing that. We're not removing those
14:42 guardrails. We think that's actually
14:43 important."
14:45 Um,
14:54 it this is this is hard stuff, right?
14:59 Because I think in
15:02 in most administrations, you could do
15:04 that kind of push back and it would be
15:07 [music]
15:09 it would be laudable and you know the
15:12 administration would behave as
15:14 administrations do boringly and they
15:17 their response would be subtle,
15:20 right? And it might take 20 years to to
15:22 to
15:24 shut down anthropic but they you know
15:26 they'd eventually get to it. I feel like
15:27 with this administration,
15:30 they're just going to be vindictive. So
15:32 my fear is that what you have in
15:34 Anthropic is you've got of the frontier
15:37 of the four major frontier model
15:39 companies in the US, anthropic is the
15:42 one that has this thing called
15:44 constitutional learning. They they they
15:48 give a [ __ ] about privacy and alignment
15:50 and and all that sort of stuff.
15:56 and if the if if
15:59 playing that card as publicly as they
16:01 did um just could turn into like a a
16:04 vindictive slapdown. Um so we'll see. I
16:07 hope not. I hope not because I agree
16:09 with I I agree with his point. I just I
16:11 don't know a good answer. Like I'm
16:13 actually glad I'm not a CEO of a
16:15 frontier model company right now because
16:17 these are these are really big issues.
16:19 [music]
16:21 Um, and to be clear, like the
16:23 government's going to do all this [ __ ]
16:25 anyway. [music]
16:27 Like, I don't know why they I don't know
16:28 why they call that anthropic. Again, I
16:30 don't know enough about it. [music]
16:33 Deadline is 5:00 p.m. tomorrow. People
16:35 can show support through their Claude
16:37 helpbot if they have an account. Okay,
16:39 go to Claude and [music] and if you
16:42 support that, great.
16:47 NP Cam on YouTube. I just had someone
16:50 ask for my NBLM infographic
16:54 on permaculture and they have zero
16:56 interest in permaculture.
16:59 Just Notebook LM. Oh, interesting.
17:02 Oh. Oh, I see. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
17:05 So if you haven't played with notebook
17:07 LM, one of the things you can do in
17:08 notebook LM yet upload a bunch of
17:10 documents and in this case on
17:13 permaculture
17:14 [laughter]
17:17 and uh and you can just push a button,
17:19 turn this into an infographic and
17:21 notebook LM will do it. Um,
17:25 yeah. A lot of people do not know. A lot
17:28 of people like a surprising [ __ ]
17:31 amount of people do not even know like
17:34 basic
17:36 LLMs like Chat GPT. They don't know what
17:39 they do.
17:41 They're like, "Oh, that's that thing you
17:42 type in and it gives you it's that's the
17:44 one that the students cheat with." Yeah,
17:46 I heard about that. That's just bad.
17:48 That's just bad. They're they're just
17:50 cheating. You know what it's going to
17:51 do? is going to take away their critical
17:53 thinking. [laughter]
18:02 You know,
18:04 doesn't that make you ache? It makes me
18:06 achech.
18:09 People don't know what's here. They
18:10 don't know what's coming. They're like,
18:11 "Wait, how did you do that infographic?"
18:13 Oh, I just asked for it. What? Yeah. No,
18:16 I just asked for it. I took these things
18:18 that I didn't understand and I stuck
18:20 them in this thing that I kind of
18:22 understand and I pushed this button and
18:24 it made this infographic and now I
18:26 understand it. And so now I went back in
18:27 and I looked at those things and they're
18:29 really [ __ ] cool. So, I took this one
18:31 little thing here and I had an idea for
18:33 a new business and so I started that new
18:34 business. Like, this is how new shit's
18:36 going to start.
18:40 And people are like, I don't understand
18:43 TTP
18:44 TP the TP. I like the TP. How do you put
18:49 on your TP? Over the top or under the
18:51 bottom? [laughter]
18:57 Sharon Crawford question.
19:02 What about those of us that are both the
19:04 accountant and the artist? I think that
19:06 I think that polymaths,
19:10 people that that go deep in multiple
19:12 disciplines,
19:14 it's about to be our heyday. Um, I think
19:17 people that can navigate right brain and
19:20 left left brain switching very very
19:22 quickly. Like I tend to be much more on
19:25 the the right brain. Wait. Yeah. left
19:27 logic right created. I tend to be much
19:30 more rightrained. I can do the logic
19:32 stuff, but it's it's like a thin like if
19:34 I were to give it like strengths, I'm
19:36 like 75% 80% over here, 20 25% over
19:41 here. If you've got a good balance of
19:43 those or you can switch between those
19:44 really quick, this is your this is going
19:46 to be your time.
19:50 Being monomodal
19:53 in the world we're entering is going to
19:55 be a disadvantage.
19:58 I just know this one thing. Well, [ __ ]
20:00 Everyone knows that now. How do they
20:03 know that? Have you used chat GPT? I saw
20:06 it once.
20:10 Go ask ChatgPT to write you a report on
20:14 the most obscure piece of knowledge. You
20:16 know, Mr. Subject matter expert.
20:20 Oh my god, it can do that. How did it
20:23 know that? Yeah.
20:27 everyone else knows that now too.
20:31 So that that mono that that hyperfocused
20:36 expertise is going to start to be a
20:39 disadvantage. So if you've got [ __ ]
20:41 going on across the hemispheres,
20:45 this is your time.
20:48 [music]
20:49 This is your time. That's what
20:52 [laughter]
20:53 NBA Comm just said. Yo, I'm 62. I'm 71.
20:56 I'm 60. Yeah, age doesn't matter. I'm
20:59 telling you, Gen Xers right now are are
21:01 kicking ass with AI. No one's talking
21:04 about the Gen Xers. Everyone's like,
21:05 "Oh, the young people are really good
21:06 with the AI." No, they're not.
21:10 No, they're not.
21:12 The young people were told that AI is
21:14 evil, so the young people aren't using
21:16 it because they were told it was bad.
21:18 They were told it was bad and it's
21:19 cheating. And so, they don't give a
21:21 [ __ ]
21:28 I don't know why I'm so angry. It's not
21:29 Monday.
21:37 [snorts]
21:38 [music]
21:43 [music]
21:44 Um
21:47 [music]
21:53 >> [music]
22:00 [music]
22:05 >> I blew a 22-year-old's hair back today
22:07 with a simple chat session. A simple
22:10 chat session.
22:14 Andy Andy today was telling me about
22:19 She talked to a a client of hers who's
22:23 also a coach
22:25 and she relayed the story that I've told
22:27 on here of Alex Finn. I don't know if
22:30 you've heard this, but OpenClaw,
22:34 the thing that I made Adam on, my little
22:36 bot. [clears throat]
22:37 Alex Finn installed this day one when
22:40 when OpenClaw first came out. It was
22:42 still called Clawbot. He installed it
22:43 day one and he just he's like, "I'm
22:45 going to be in I'm going to be the
22:46 world's best expert at this thing."
22:48 about a week into
22:51 um having his agents do whatever the
22:54 [ __ ] his agents were doing, he went to
22:56 bed one night and he woke up the next
22:58 morning and there was a phone call from
23:00 a number he didn't recognize and he
23:02 picked it up and it was his agent,
23:06 his computer agent, his Claudebot thing
23:10 on the phone
23:15 and he's like, "What?
23:18 How how did you how did you get my
23:20 number? [laughter]
23:23 Well, he had put it in there somewhere.
23:24 It was in one of the files
23:27 and how why are we talking on the phone
23:30 and his agent said, "Well, I thought it
23:33 might be more convenient for us to talk
23:35 during the day that it would be easier
23:37 for you." So, I went and I got us a
23:40 Twilio phone number and then I went to
23:41 11 Labs and I hooked up the API for text
23:44 to speech and I I knew you woke up at
23:47 between 7:30 and 8 because that's when
23:48 you get active on the computer. So, I
23:50 figured I'd just call you at whatever
23:52 7:45 and it [ __ ] called him. So, Andy
23:55 told this to her her client, the
23:57 coaching the coach guy,
24:02 and she said she'd never seen anyone or
24:05 him react like that.
24:10 And I think his response was, "I need to
24:12 go sit on a bench."
24:14 Which I think is a great line.
24:16 [laughter]
24:17 So, it's like, you know, you've got
24:19 you've got 22 year olds that are having
24:20 their hair blown back because you do a
24:22 simple chat GPT prompt. And in the same
24:26 world that we all live in are these
24:28 agents that are figuring out how to
24:30 configure their own voices to call you,
24:32 to talk to you. like that's happening
24:35 right now today
24:40 and that might scare you and freak you
24:41 out and this and that. We'll figure all
24:43 this [ __ ] out. Like the [ __ ] we'll
24:44 figure out.
24:47 Could it go south? Could it all be evil?
24:49 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We might get hit by an
24:51 asteroid, too. In the meantime, let's
24:54 figure out what this [ __ ] is. So,
24:58 [sighs]
24:59 I don't know. It's crazy.
25:07 on 60 Minutes, Daario Amade, the the CEO
25:10 of Anthropic,
25:14 said that he feels we're going to get to
25:17 um 10 to 20% unemployment within 12
25:20 months.
25:23 I think that's probably aggressive,
25:25 but I could see it jumping 5% and then
25:30 the next year it jumps 10%, the next
25:32 year it jumps 20%. Right? I could see
25:34 it.
25:37 And there's a there's a
25:42 I really do wish I understood economics
25:44 a bit better. Maybe that's something
25:47 maybe that's a thing to play with with
25:49 AI is go learn economics better.
25:54 Maybe what I'll do is I'll go get I'll
25:56 go get Chad GBT to tell me who are the
25:57 best economists. Then I'll go get a
25:59 bunch of papers from the best economist.
26:00 Then I'll put them in a notebook LM and
26:02 they'll say give me an education
26:04 on economics.
26:08 But what I do know is this. What I what
26:10 I kind of hope and this is going to
26:12 sound like a sick
26:16 sadistic hope.
26:19 I hope that if AI is gonna have this
26:24 dramatic job impact that it actually has
26:26 it quickly.
26:30 Like I hope
26:32 it goes from like whatever we're at now
26:34 3 or 4% 2 or 3% to 20%.
26:39 You're like Kyle that's just [ __ ] me.
26:41 Why would you say why would you say
26:43 that?
26:46 Because if it's incremental,
26:48 if it's 3% then 4% then 4.5 then 7,
26:54 no one's going to do [ __ ] about it.
26:58 If it spikes,
27:00 then it'll be like a, you know,
27:04 a natural disaster. It'll be like CO. Oh
27:08 [ __ ] nobody can go to work tomorrow.
27:11 Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Don't tomorrow.
27:13 Don't go to work. What are we supposed
27:15 to do for money? Uh,
27:18 we'll send checks,
27:20 right? That's what they did in CO.
27:24 Don't go out. We'll send checks,
27:27 [laughter] right? And then you figure it
27:29 out after here. Just figure out how to
27:31 work from home. Get a new webcam and a
27:34 ring light. Get the ring light.
27:37 Touch grass. Yeah.
27:47 I don't know, man. [music]
27:54 [music] Maybe the government will all
27:56 send us a check for $1,000. Yep.
28:00 [music]
28:06 Um Jack Dorsey today, he's got a new
28:09 company.
28:11 >> [music]
28:11 >> He's the He founded Twitter. That was
28:14 Jack Dorsey, right? Wasn't he Twitter?
28:16 He was Twitter, right? Someone tell me
28:18 Jack Dorsey's Twitter. [clears throat]
28:20 [music]
28:24 Nobody. Somebody Google him.
28:28 [music]
28:28 Hello. Hello. Terror reimbursement to
28:32 start. There you go. [music]
28:41 >> [music]
28:42 >> No one Jack Dorsey, no one knows.
28:46 Anyway, I think he's Twitter Twitter
28:47 co-founder.
28:49 Um,
28:51 today today
28:53 he laid off 4,000
28:58 of his 10,000 employees.
29:02 4,000 40%
29:06 Now, we've heard there's been a lot of
29:08 Oh, wait. Brandon's coming in hot. Jack
29:11 Dorsey Twitter. Okay.
29:14 Yeah.
29:16 Um,
29:19 he laid off 40% of his staff today. Now,
29:22 there have been a lot of announcements
29:25 from Fortune 500 companies and Amazon.
29:28 We're laying off 30,000 people for AI.
29:32 No, in Amazon's case, it's like we're
29:34 laying off 30,000 people because we want
29:35 to b buy more GPUs and we don't have the
29:38 cash. So now we do,
29:42 right? They're not really using AI.
29:46 [clears throat]
29:46 Well, I mean, in Amazon's case, they're
29:48 probably using it more than most.
29:51 But most of the layoffs in 2025
29:54 were PE firms and CFOs going, "Hey, wait
29:58 a minute. You know what we could do
30:00 here? We can just rightsize the company,
30:04 drop a bunch of value to the
30:05 shareholders,
30:07 and blame it on AI. [laughter]
30:12 It's fantastic, Bob. I love that idea.
30:16 It's so good. You just We're just going
30:19 to rightsize the company. You know, I
30:21 used to say downsize. It's a It's a bad
30:23 habit. Rightsize. It's going to be so
30:26 right for us. Oh, those shares are going
30:29 to climb. Oh, like the like grandma's
30:31 ivy.
30:34 That was 2025
30:36 because that was also the year where MIT
30:39 is like 95% of AI projects are useless
30:42 because no one implementing them knows
30:44 what the [ __ ] they are. [laughter]
30:47 But we're going to lay off 30,000 people
30:50 because of AI. So that was 2025.
30:54 4,000 people out of 10,000 people here.
30:57 I I posted about it. Let me read you the
30:59 quote that was in his very long letter
31:03 to his staffing
31:05 [sighs]
31:07 dang
31:09 dang dang dang. But something has
31:12 changed. We're already seeing that the
31:15 intelligence tools we're creating and
31:17 using paired with smaller and flatter
31:19 teams. Smaller and flatter teams are
31:22 enabling a new way of work which
31:24 fundamentally changes what it means to
31:26 build and run a company. And that's
31:29 accelerating rapidly. This is from the
31:31 guy that founded Twitter who's now got
31:34 10,000 employees and tonight has 6,000
31:36 employees.
31:39 Something has changed.
31:42 And he doesn't mean it changed like over
31:44 the past five years. No, like something
31:47 has changed. Starting in December,
31:52 the coding models started to get so good
31:56 that you can just code with them now
32:00 and then everything else will follow
32:01 that. The ripples of that are going to
32:03 are just going to keep flowing through.
32:05 The tools are going to get better and
32:07 better and better and better. Something
32:08 has changed. We're already seeing that
32:10 the intelligence tools we're creating
32:12 and using paired with smaller and
32:14 flatter teams
32:17 are enabling new ways of working which
32:19 fundamentally changes what it means to
32:20 build and run a company. If I were you,
32:22 if I worked in a big company right now,
32:24 you know what I would do? So, in in
32:26 content evolution, we've got this group
32:27 called Collab. Cindy Coon's in it, Kevin
32:30 Clark's in it,
32:33 and we started it. I started it within
32:36 the group. group. I asked Kevin if I
32:37 could start this group just as a way to
32:38 like learn about AI. Let me just take
32:40 what I'm doing on these live these AI
32:42 learning lab lives and let me do it for
32:45 for content evolution
32:48 and it's ended up being like a core
32:50 group of six or seven of us that show up
32:52 all the time. If I were you in a in a
32:55 big company right now, I would find four
32:58 or five other curious, adaptable,
33:02 non-assshole,
33:05 AI AI competent, AI forward people
33:13 and I would do I would just do a weekly
33:15 meeting with them. Do a weekly meeting
33:17 where you're going to talk about what
33:18 you're learning in AI. Maybe you do some
33:19 projects together within your company.
33:22 Just do it as a little cohort
33:28 because what's going to happen is that
33:30 little cohort is going to start to do
33:32 some [ __ ] that's going to be
33:35 dramatically outsized than if those six
33:38 people did stuff with AI on their own
33:42 because they're going to go, "Boy, you
33:43 know, I was in a meeting last week and I
33:46 heard that the CEO was really excited
33:48 about project XYZ.
33:50 What if we just built Project XYZ and
33:53 handed it to the CEO? Oh, that's kind of
33:56 risky there. Uh Fred Fred, we can't just
34:00 Maybe we could. You think we could build
34:02 it? I don't know. Let's try.
34:07 I got a lovable account.
34:09 Okay, Jim. Do Do you want to make the
34:12 app? I I already made it. While you were
34:16 talking, I I made it. It works. I tested
34:20 it.
34:22 Really, Jim? Yeah. You want to play with
34:24 it? I'll publish it.
34:31 Who is it? Uh, [laughter]
34:38 [gasps]
34:40 it's Sandra and some of my friends.
34:44 We heard that you were talking about. So
34:47 we made an app for you if you want. Who
34:51 made this?
34:54 That's what I do. [ __ ] make that
34:56 group.
34:58 Jack Dorsey says it right here. The
35:01 tools we're creating and you using, the
35:03 intelligence tools we're creating and
35:05 using paired with smaller and flatter
35:08 teams are enabling a new way of working
35:12 which fundamentally changes what it
35:14 means to build and run a company and
35:17 that's accelerating rapidly.
35:22 Yeah, I decided that u [clears throat]
35:25 you know I tried that chat GPT when it
35:27 first came out. I'll tell you what I
35:29 did. I went in there. I'm like, "Write
35:30 me an email to my customer, Jim,
35:33 [laughter] and I'll tell and and uh I
35:35 I'll look at it." And I looked at it and
35:38 I'll tell you what, that email wasn't
35:40 good as good as what I write. I'll tell
35:42 you that right now. There's still people
35:44 Kelly Camp sees these people every
35:46 [ __ ] day.
35:51 Nobody knows what's here.
35:54 Nobody knows what's coming.
35:57 4,000 people found out today. 40% of a
36:00 company found out today.
36:03 And he said in the thing it this is not
36:05 because we're hurting for money.
36:10 He said we're just going to run the
36:11 company differently now.
36:14 Tik Tok pin. Perplexity computer. Yeah,
36:18 I I played with it a little bit today. I
36:20 got access to it. We can go look at it.
36:23 It's not really much to look at. It's
36:25 kind of like looking at at Manis or uh
36:28 like Gen Spark's a little more visual
36:30 even. It's It's not It's just not It's
36:32 not pretty to look at. So, I don't
36:34 really have a ton to show, but I'm happy
36:36 to go look at it. Oh god, look at me.
36:39 Ying,
36:42 what are we going to do tonight
36:45 to Source Camp? Yep. A tsunami is
36:48 coming. Build your raft
36:52 if you're here. 22 people. There's, you
36:55 know, if we if we pull out the overlap,
36:58 there's probably 25 or 30 people here
37:00 tonight.
37:02 If you're here watching this,
37:06 you're in the water with a raft.
37:09 Sharon on YouTube.
37:12 Big company gets worried about their
37:14 data.
37:15 Yeah, I know.
37:18 I know.
37:21 >> [laughter]
37:21 >> I mean, listen,
37:24 big companies should worry about their
37:26 data. That's their job is to protect
37:28 their data.
37:32 And they've got all these processes and
37:34 things in place to make sure that they
37:37 protect their data. And they're going to
37:39 put together a plan, a five-year plan
37:41 for how to modernize
37:44 the data so that we can use it for AI.
37:52 What's going to happen in those five
37:53 years?
37:55 Do you think that plan even sees a year?
37:59 Tik Tok pin. I'm bringing a few more
38:01 friends to office hours tomorrow. Oh,
38:03 awesome. That's so good. That's been
38:04 really good. I've been enjoying that.
38:09 Speaking of which, tomorrow is office
38:11 hours.
38:13 if you want to come hang out with some
38:15 really smart people
38:18 um who kind of have it going on [music]
38:24 and they're also um
38:29 [music]
38:30 I don't know they're they're nice
38:34 they're nice
38:35 [music]
38:43 >> [music]
38:44 >> We're talking in humans 2.0 in a in a
38:47 group chat around
38:51 being villagers again.
38:55 Going back to small cohorts of people.
38:57 Jack Dorsey says it right here.
39:02 paired with smaller and flatter teams
39:07 like the group on
39:10 the office hours group that that meets
39:12 on Fridays
39:14 is a uh
39:17 it's a little village. It's a little
39:18 village.
39:21 People support one another. They know
39:22 one another.
39:24 They give a [ __ ]
39:28 When something bad happens to someone,
39:29 people kind of rally around. When
39:31 something good happens, they cheer and
39:32 celebrate.
39:34 When someone figures something out,
39:36 they're like, "Oh, that's awesome."
39:38 When that same person's like, "I don't
39:40 know what to do here." They're like,
39:41 "Oh, we'll help."
39:48 I think that's the way through this,
39:50 right?
39:52 I think that's the way through this.
39:53 [music]
39:54 Happy to be a part of this group. Really
39:56 happy to have you here. Crazy times. It
39:58 is crazy [ __ ] times.
40:03 >> [music]
40:09 [music]
40:18 >> I don't know why I get self-conscious on
40:20 here about when I get in these moods,
40:23 but I do.
40:28 Oh, you're Papa JJ. Oh, cool. Papa JJ.
40:31 Good.
40:34 Andy in the house. What's happening?
40:38 Magic.
40:40 [music]
40:42 The guitar is so soothing. Thank you.
40:45 You know, I played trumpet for many,
40:47 many years.
40:51 And what I learned about being a trumpet
40:53 player is that if you're the best
40:54 trumpet player in the world,
40:58 it's still a [ __ ] annoying
41:00 instrument. [laughter]
41:04 Like you can't just sit around jamming
41:07 on a trumpet. Like if people are trying
41:09 to watch the prices, right, and you're
41:11 practicing their track, he's stop
41:13 blowing on that stupid horn.
41:16 [laughter]
41:18 But but if you got a guitar, you can
41:20 just be like,
41:22 [music]
41:28 you can be bad at guitar and people
41:30 won't mind you playing it. You can be
41:32 brilliant at trumpet. Stop making that
41:35 racket. [laughter]
41:40 Did I see
41:43 Valerie in YouTube? No. Let's see. It's
41:47 hard right now
41:49 knowing what our work will look like. So
41:52 it feels like we're just spinning our
41:54 change chains and not know how to plan.
41:57 Valerie,
41:58 that is so the great repurpose.
42:02 [clears throat]
42:03 What the great repurpose did was for me
42:05 put a name to
42:09 this intangible thing that part of it
42:11 has been for the past year and a half
42:15 maybe year and a half somewhere between
42:17 a year and year and a half
42:20 I have felt like on this channel I don't
42:22 know what to talk about
42:27 because
42:29 I like what I Oh,
42:33 what I knew 2026 was going to have in it
42:36 were moments of technological
42:39 advancement where we all go, "Oh, shit."
42:42 Like, I knew that was I knew that was
42:44 coming, but what I couldn't know was
42:46 what does that actually look like?
42:50 And then you get something like
42:51 Claudebot. And then there's this
42:56 um Reddit like social media platform for
42:59 agents and that sort of flamed out
43:01 because it had bad security in it. But
43:03 you're like, "Wait, the bots are talking
43:05 to the bots."
43:07 And now we can all have our own bot and
43:09 you can design a bot. And I designed my
43:11 own bot and I realized it had a file
43:12 called a soul.
43:14 I'm literally writing the soul of this
43:18 entity that I'm going to talk to on
43:20 Telegram. I get to design
43:23 >> [clears throat]
43:23 >> a being
43:25 that I'm going to talk to on Telegram
43:27 and it's going to do [ __ ] for me. Tik
43:29 Tok note, but I feel so behind not
43:32 installing Claude OpenCloud. Don't um
43:35 I'm a bit technical. I'm a bit technical
43:37 but not technical. I'm right there with
43:39 you.
43:40 If you want to kill a weekend,
43:44 have Chat GPT. No, I would say have
43:45 Claude or Gemini walk you through how to
43:48 install Claude. It's open Claw. It's not
43:50 that um radical. I have to go sit on a
43:54 bench. I don't know if you were here,
43:55 Andy, but but I I I talked about um your
43:58 friend who [laughter] who said
44:03 he got that long distance stare like,
44:05 "Oh,
44:07 I got to go sit on a bench." Like I
44:09 talked about it earlier. Yeah. Yeah.
44:12 It's
44:14 We're in weird times right now. And I
44:16 would imagine that being at work, like
44:18 this is the the burden of being early
44:22 with this AI [ __ ] is that we know that
44:24 something's coming, but we don't know
44:26 what. And when we tell the people that
44:30 we care about what's coming, we sound
44:33 like crazy people.
44:38 I mean, Andy told her friend or her
44:41 client,
44:44 "The OpenClaw bot figured out how to
44:47 give itself a voice and call its boss."
44:54 His response was, "I got to go sit on a
44:57 bench.
45:04 How do you do your job right now?
45:10 [sighs and gasps]
45:10 Nodding my head over here in agreement.
45:14 Did you load it on a separate computer?
45:15 Yes, I loaded it on a separate computer.
45:18 I put it on my gaming computer. Um, we
45:21 did give it a a um a Gmail account.
45:25 We're not I I've I haven't done much
45:27 with it yet. I'm going very very slow.
45:32 because I because I want to learn I want
45:33 to learn how to use it but man
45:37 but you need s but you need money I
45:39 assume
45:41 I fought an API code for hours today
45:43 finally got it to take that's good yeah
45:45 APIs can be a bit of a nightmare
45:50 um perplexity computer we can go look at
45:52 that maybe maybe we'll go look at
45:54 perplex perplexity computer and I'll
45:56 I'll hook it up to some things and see
45:57 what we can get it to
46:00 But you need a strong enough computer at
46:01 least $4,000 plus. Well, Jay Warner, um,
46:05 well, it depends.
46:08 So, so for Claudebot, a $4,000 computer,
46:15 um,
46:17 you you probably need a $10,000
46:19 computer. If you really want to run big,
46:21 powerful models locally, you probably
46:24 need to spend 10 grand. If you want a
46:26 hybrid machine where you can run a
46:29 decent model locally and then do some do
46:32 the heavy lifting stuff in the cloud,
46:34 then you could probably get away with a
46:36 $2,2500
46:38 Mac Mini. Like I specked out a Mac Mini
46:40 today. So today
46:45 we got Perplexity Computer and Quen, the
46:48 Quen 2 2.5 model that everyone was
46:50 talking about being really good. They
46:53 dropped Quen 2.5 Flash,
46:58 which if you have a 32 gigabyte Mac
47:00 Mini, you can run Quen Flash
47:05 on that Mac Mini. And apparently it's as
47:09 good as Claude Sonnet 4.6,
47:13 which is an incredibly powerful model.
47:16 So, as of today, for the the computer I
47:19 speced out was $2,200. a Mac Mini with
47:23 48 gigs of RAM,
47:26 an M4 Pro chip, terabyte hard drive,
47:31 and whatever the 16 core,
47:35 I don't know, 16 GPU cores instead of
47:37 12. So, so I I upgraded the GPUs, 48
47:42 gigabytes of RAM,
47:45 2,200 bucks, quiet, silent. You can just
47:49 stick it in the corner and you can run
47:52 something as good as Sonnet 4.6 on that
47:54 thing locally. So So your Clawbot could
47:57 just be sitting on that thing running
47:59 everything locally. Wouldn't cost you a
48:01 thing other than that investment.
48:04 So that's that's there right now. By the
48:06 end of this year, there will be local
48:09 models that can run on hardware even
48:10 cheaper than that that'll be better than
48:12 that. And there's also going to be
48:15 versions of Cladbot you just install by
48:16 like double clicking something.
48:19 [music]
48:30 [music]
48:35 The clouds still cost.
48:39 Yeah, I know the clouds still cost. But
48:40 what I'm saying is like if if the Quen
48:43 flash model is as good as they're saying
48:45 it is, you don't need cloud. You can
48:48 just run everything locally. I mean, if
48:50 you want to write things to your Google
48:52 Drive, you'll be writing things to the
48:54 cloud, but you don't need to do the
48:56 processing in the cloud.
48:59 [music]
49:03 Have you developed AI? [music]
49:08 Like have have I built
49:11 an LLM? Have I trained a model? No.
49:15 [music]
49:20 That lives in the neighborhood of sir,
49:22 what are your qualifications?
49:24 So what I'm not is a computer scientist.
49:27 What I am is a guy with an acting degree
49:30 who's started 15 companies and has
49:32 always lived at the intersection of new
49:35 technology and self-exression.
49:38 So, what's interesting to me is not
49:40 building the LLM. What's interesting to
49:43 me is now that the LLM's been been
49:45 built,
49:46 how the [ __ ] are the rest of us supposed
49:48 to use it?
49:51 Like engineers make up approximately
49:54 1.5% of humans, working humans.
49:59 That means that 98.5%
50:01 of humans, working humans, are not that.
50:05 What about us?
50:08 We've got this remarkable technology.
50:10 What are we going to do with it?
50:12 How are we going to tell stories with
50:13 it? How are we going to change people's
50:14 lives with it? How are we going to start
50:16 businesses with it?
50:18 That's that's my interest.
50:23 I mean, I know how they work.
50:27 It It boggles my mind that someone
50:31 understands math well enough
50:33 to figure out how to do
50:36 thousanddimensional
50:37 latent space embeddings of tokens that
50:40 are fragments of words that you can just
50:43 say [ __ ] into. and it creates a
50:45 probability waiting and spits tokens
50:48 back at you and turns it into something
50:50 intelligible. Like that's [ __ ] magic
50:52 to me.
50:54 But it's to a mathematician, it's
50:57 probably relatively straightforward
51:00 calculator design.
51:04 But what's it trained on? What are LLMs
51:07 trained on? The output of humanity.
51:12 So, generative AI right now, what what
51:14 why I'm interested in it is I don't give
51:16 a [ __ ] about the math. You guys go
51:18 figure that out.
51:21 What I give a [ __ ] about is
51:24 what's in there. All of humanity,
51:27 whatever, whatever got stuck on the
51:28 internet in the past 80 years is
51:30 essentially in this little softball
51:32 sized [ __ ] thing
51:36 that we can just talk into and it goes
51:41 updated.
51:44 Imagine playing guitar on a beach and
51:46 helping the world. Yeah, exactly.
51:49 [music]
51:51 Have you run a local LLM before? Yes.
51:55 Um curious if it would be as quick as
51:58 Claude via online. Well, so the flash
52:02 models so so all of this there's um the
52:06 shorter answer is you can have
52:08 relatively shitty LLMs respond very very
52:12 quickly on essent effectively consumer
52:15 grade hardware. Like I've got my my
52:18 gaming PC, my racing rig is a uh a PC
52:22 with um I think it's 16 gigs of RAM. Uh
52:26 a 4090 GPU and and you know a decent
52:30 processor, right? So it's it's fine.
52:32 It's like consumer grade gaming PC. Um I
52:36 put the 32 billion parameter Quen model
52:39 on it and it was unusable. It was like
52:45 I put a 14 billion model on it. It's
52:47 like, [clears throat] you know, it's
52:49 still slow, but it's not bad, but it's
52:51 not great. The flash models. So, what
52:54 they what what these
52:58 companies do that make these models,
53:00 they make the giant model first and then
53:02 they basically just keep optimizing it
53:04 and getting it smaller and smaller and
53:05 smaller. And so the flash version of the
53:08 models is like the distilled version of
53:11 the big model in a really small model.
53:13 Apparently the Quen 2.5 flash model that
53:16 dropped today is apparently kick-ass
53:19 good and will run on consumer grade
53:22 hardware. 32 GB of RAM. So
53:26 um yeah, quantis quant quantization.
53:29 Yes. Lord digital gods. I I'm glad I'm
53:33 glad you all know me well enough to know
53:34 that I was searching for a word and I
53:36 just I couldn't admit that I didn't know
53:38 it. Couldn't remember it. So, thank you.
53:41 That was the word I was looking for.
53:43 It's the context that's the only piece
53:45 of the puzzle that's missing. Yeah, but
53:46 Jay Warner, holy [ __ ] Okay, so if you
53:49 know enough about context, then you Jay
53:52 Warner, if you're decently technical,
53:54 you should probably install OpenClaw
53:56 just to play with it, just to see what
53:58 it's doing.
54:01 Okay. So, here's what Open Claw does.
54:03 I'm gonna put I got so excited I'm
54:04 putting my guitar down.
54:07 Um,
54:12 the thing that OpenClaw did, which is
54:15 [ __ ] brilliant, Peter Steinberger,
54:19 [snorts]
54:19 um, is it's got a memory system and it's
54:24 got se semantic search and embeddings as
54:27 part of it. So you basically you hook up
54:29 OpenClaw to an embeddings um AI model
54:34 which are they're really cheap because
54:36 all they're doing is is tokenizing
54:38 relatively small text files and and
54:41 turning them into into um a vector
54:44 database.
54:46 But it it happens like as you talk to
54:48 your bot, it's writing memory files and
54:51 then it's it's embedding them in real
54:53 time. So, so it's essenti it's
54:57 effectively got infinite context
55:02 and then it's proactive on top of it and
55:05 you get to design how it behaves and you
55:08 get to design what it knows about you
55:10 and what you want it to do for you. It's
55:13 crazy.
55:17 Gotcha. The classic good fast cheat pick
55:19 too. Yeah. Although we are living in a
55:22 world now where good, fast and cheap,
55:26 you can now have all three. Like I think
55:28 I think that one of the
55:30 one of the business models of the future
55:33 is find any kind of company that will
55:36 give you two of the three good fast and
55:38 cheap and just compete with them on the
55:40 third on the third axis.
55:42 We'll be just as good just as fast, but
55:44 we we'll be cheaper, right? Or we'll be
55:47 just as cheap. We'll be cheaper and
55:49 we'll be just as good and we'll be fast.
55:53 Mine sent me nudes. Nice. Nice, Ken.
55:56 That's awesome. Yeah, I know. I know.
56:00 These these agents, they're going to do
56:01 their thing. I've been using Google Pro.
56:03 Cool. Haha, I did, but computer is
56:07 choking. I have a MacBook Intel i5. Oh,
56:10 an Intel Mac. No, you need like the the
56:14 the good news. Okay, here's the thing
56:16 about Apple. I'm a longtime Apple
56:18 fanboy. If you're on if you're on an
56:20 Intelbased Mac right now, unless you're
56:22 basically just running cloud-based [ __ ]
56:24 where you're just doing the the the
56:27 orchestration locally, um they're not
56:30 it's not going to be usable. If you want
56:32 to run anything on the machine itself,
56:35 um just get you you need an M4. I mean,
56:38 the one good thing that Apple's done
56:40 with AI is they made their hardware
56:43 optimized for AI inference.
56:47 The how how they don't have
56:51 decent AI at [ __ ] Apple is it's it is
56:54 one of the great blunders of this
56:57 decade.
56:59 It's unbelievable. But their hardware is
57:01 really good. So basically for 1,500
57:04 bucks, 1,700 bucks, you can get a Mac
57:08 Mini that that will run these models
57:10 really, really, really well. [snorts]
57:12 [clears throat]
57:14 Apple announcements today. Although,
57:16 didn't Apple just announced that they're
57:18 going to have an announcement next week,
57:19 right? Oh, Apple announcements Monday.
57:21 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. What's the best
57:23 Gemini or OpenAI model? I don't Here's
57:25 the thing. I am I am I have been
57:31 decently committed at avoiding
57:34 open-source
57:35 AI. Not because I don't think it's
57:38 awesome and great, but like you can't
57:39 keep up with it. If you think keeping up
57:42 with commercial AI is tough, try keeping
57:44 up with all the different models that
57:46 launch in the open source community.
57:48 Because what happens in the open source
57:50 community, they'll launch a model that's
57:52 open source. And because it's open
57:54 source, a thousand different developers
57:57 pounce on it and create 27 different
57:59 versions of it. One's optimized for
58:02 gaming and one's optimized for this and
58:03 one's optimized for fashion design. And
58:05 you just like I just you go to hugging
58:08 face and it's just this constant barrage
58:11 of bizarre names that have numbers and
58:15 letters in them and no seeming
58:18 meaningful combination.
58:21 and it makes your head hurt. So, I don't
58:23 know. [laughter]
58:25 Open AAI isn't open anymore. No, they're
58:28 not. [gasps]
58:30 [sighs]
58:31 All right, let's go look at um let's go
58:34 look at Perplexity Computer and see what
58:36 we can learn about it. Might go watch a
58:38 video on it. Oh, and by the way, if you
58:41 weren't here the other night, Napster's
58:42 back. Someone bought the Napster brand
58:46 and it's now a bunch of AI agents that
58:49 can go do [ __ ] for you and make music
58:52 and steal music apparently.
58:55 [laughter]
58:57 Perplexity.
59:00 So, I'm going to perplexity.ai.
59:02 So, from what I can gather, this is kind
59:05 of like
59:07 um
59:12 premium sources. Where's computer?
59:15 Computer.
59:17 This is kind of like OpenClaw except
59:20 it's just on
59:22 um
59:26 it's just on the web. You don't have to
59:28 install anything. But [snorts] over here
59:30 we've got are these connectors
59:34 Gmail with calendar search create and
59:37 manage your emails. I'm connected there.
59:40 Interesting.
59:42 Let me disconnect from that. And I'm
59:45 going to connect this to
59:47 AI salon. Add a connector.
59:57 Uh, oh god.
1:00:02 [clears throat]
1:00:04 All right, that's connected.
1:00:07 What else do we have? Slack. We don't
1:00:09 use Slack. Notion. We don't use one
1:00:12 drive.
1:00:13 A sauna.
1:00:17 Um, Air Table. Microsoft Teams,
1:00:22 Blue Sky,
1:00:26 ClickUp, Canva, Close, Inside Sales
1:00:30 Software, C CRM with calling and
1:00:34 emailing.
1:00:36 Huh,
1:00:38 that was hilarious. Oh god, I know. You
1:00:41 know what that was, Andy? I was looking
1:00:42 at all those permissions and I'm like, I
1:00:45 should probably read all these
1:00:46 permissions, but [ __ ] it. I'm just going
1:00:48 to hit select all. [laughter]
1:00:52 Like how many things did did I just
1:00:54 agree to? Exactly. Exactly. Oh man. Um
1:01:00 [laughter]
1:01:03 Oh my god. Data bricks Discord bot. Oh,
1:01:07 that could be fun. Let's enable
1:01:09 Discordbot
1:01:12 because we have an AI salon bot token.
1:01:15 How the [ __ ] do I get a bot token?
1:01:21 Oh, I clicked on a thing. Pipe dream.
1:01:26 One SDK. Thousands of API integrations.
1:01:30 Sign in. Sign up. Good lord.
1:01:34 How about No, [laughter]
1:01:41 [gasps]
1:01:43 I won't do that live. Oh, wait. Here's
1:01:45 Oh, that's Discord bot. Here's Discord.
1:01:47 And oh, it's same thing.
1:01:50 Perplexity uses Pipedream to connect
1:01:52 your account.
1:01:58 [sighs]
1:02:00 Keep scrolling.
1:02:02 Select the server. AI salon. Look at
1:02:04 that. Continue. Authorize.
1:02:07 Administrator. I am human.
1:02:12 Okay.
1:02:14 So, this thing's now connected to
1:02:16 Discord.
1:02:18 All right. So, let's go over to Discord.
1:02:20 The irony of you checking that box
1:02:23 [laughter]
1:02:27 just so your computer [laughter] can do.
1:02:34 [laughter]
1:02:35 Producer Brandon is trolling me. Listen.
1:02:38 Listen. The trolls are supposed to be in
1:02:40 front of the screen,
1:02:43 not behind scenes.
1:02:45 I'm getting trolled by my producer. Oh,
1:02:48 here's 11 Labs. There's Google Ads,
1:02:51 Firebase Admin.
1:02:54 This is pretty crazy.
1:02:56 Google contacts.
1:02:59 [sighs]
1:03:00 I know what I'm going to do. I'm going
1:03:02 to enable Google Contacts.
1:03:05 And then this thing
1:03:10 is going to be my CRM.
1:03:13 I don't want to hear it from Andy or
1:03:15 Brandon. I want both of you to just be
1:03:17 quiet. Do not make fun of me for not
1:03:19 making my calls. [laughter]
1:03:24 That's [clears throat] connected. Google
1:03:25 Gemini. Oh, we got to go play with Nano
1:03:28 Banana 2.
1:03:30 We've got that, too.
1:03:34 Adam is going to get jealous.
1:03:36 Adam's going to bankrupt you. Yeah,
1:03:39 Adam's gonna call me. I'm gonna wake up
1:03:41 tomorrow to a call from Adam. Uh yeah.
1:03:43 Hi, it's Adam. Um yeah, I noticed you
1:03:46 were playing around with Perplexity
1:03:48 Computer and uh
1:03:51 do you think it's cuter than me?
1:03:53 [laughter]
1:03:57 Google Maps. Let's enable that.
1:04:02 Let's enable Google Maps. Why would we
1:04:04 not? Oh, I got to have a API key. That
1:04:06 That requires work. We're not going to
1:04:08 do that. Google Forms
1:04:11 connect. Do I have to have an API key?
1:04:13 No. Ha.
1:04:21 Continue.
1:04:31 If you're wondering where we are, I'm
1:04:33 I'm at Perplexity Computer.
1:04:37 Perplexity Computer, as far as I can
1:04:40 tell. I'm I'm new to it, is kind of like
1:04:44 OpenClaw, kind of like Manis, kind of
1:04:47 like Gen Spark, but it's got all these
1:04:50 hooks into other things we use.
1:04:54 Nano Banana isn't bad, but Gemini's
1:04:56 video content is a laugh.
1:04:59 Oh, that's funny.
1:05:02 We might need
1:05:05 the endless quest quest to avoid
1:05:08 outreach. [laughter]
1:05:15 I'm getting trolled [laughter]
1:05:16 by people that know and love me. I guess
1:05:19 that's who to get trolled by.
1:05:22 At least, you know, they're paying
1:05:23 attention.
1:05:25 All right, we're going to enable Google
1:05:27 Sheets.
1:05:28 Google Meet. [snorts] Oh, that's
1:05:30 [clears throat] interesting. Let's
1:05:31 enable Google Meet, too. Okay.
1:05:35 [clears throat]
1:05:40 Uhoh. The account connection failed.
1:05:46 What happened?
1:05:48 Try again.
1:05:50 Tik Tok pin. Teacher's freaking out
1:05:53 about companion.
1:05:55 What's What's Companion Brother 52? Why
1:05:58 hasn't someone used AI to dig those
1:06:00 three three million files yet on
1:06:02 Einstein?
1:06:04 I don't know.
1:06:08 Clearly, people I don't So, that's not
1:06:10 working. What was that? Google Sheets I
1:06:12 was trying. Yeah, that's not working.
1:06:15 They're going to have to fix that.
1:06:19 Google Vertex, Google Workspace Admin,
1:06:22 Business Apps and Collaboration tools.
1:06:24 Let's enable that. Nah, let's not.
1:06:29 Um, LinkedIn ads. LinkedIn. Oh, yes.
1:06:35 [ __ ] yes.
1:06:38 Um, sign me up.
1:06:42 The The reason I'm excited about
1:06:44 LinkedIn is
1:06:46 LinkedIn is is very bad at allowing
1:06:49 people to screen scrape them. It's hard
1:06:52 to get data off LinkedIn.
1:06:54 So, even if you want to give them
1:06:56 permission, it's hard to do that
1:06:57 sometimes. I don't see a Tik Tok pin
1:06:59 right now.
1:07:02 There's a This is a lot of things in
1:07:03 here.
1:07:10 I freaking hate LinkedIn. Yeah, I know.
1:07:14 And it's going to get worse because just
1:07:16 all this AI shit's going to make it
1:07:17 worse and worse and worse. Here's chat
1:07:19 GPT. We'll enable that.
1:07:21 [clears throat]
1:07:23 I'm going to go search for more people.
1:07:26 You're funny. I'll be back. [laughter]
1:07:31 Thank you, Ken. Go get some more people.
1:07:34 Chat GPT is good to video creation. I
1:07:36 got to put in an API there. I'm not
1:07:38 going to do that right now because
1:07:39 that's just going to take too long. Pipe
1:07:42 Drive. Pipe Drive's easy to use CRM
1:07:44 tool.
1:07:49 Twilio Send Grid. Send marketing and
1:07:53 transactional email through Twilio Send
1:07:55 Grid.
1:07:57 But I wonder if there's Twilio.
1:08:00 Yeah, Twilio. Cloud-based platform for
1:08:02 SMS voice and messaging.
1:08:05 Oh, man. All right, let's let's we're
1:08:08 gonna Let's do it. I got to do API
1:08:11 secret keys. God damn it.
1:08:14 Telegram. Oh, we could enable Telegram
1:08:18 and I could have I can have Perplexity
1:08:21 Computer talk to Adam bot token. Okay,
1:08:24 we'll do that. I'll I'll I'll I'm going
1:08:26 to figure this [ __ ] out. I'm going to
1:08:28 figure this [ __ ] out. YouTube data API.
1:08:31 You can add a variety of YouTube
1:08:33 features to your application. Yeah,
1:08:34 we're going to do that.
1:08:37 >> [clears throat]
1:08:39 >> I think that one's going to be Kylolet
1:08:41 story YouTube comment from me to Andy.
1:08:46 Andy note to self, hide the fun toys
1:08:49 behind the API keys. Pipe drive is bad.
1:08:52 Don't use it. Okay, Brandon, it's out of
1:08:54 control. [laughter]
1:08:56 Listen, I haven't done anything yet. I'm
1:08:59 just playing with some toys here. I'm
1:09:00 just hooking up some some things. Here's
1:09:03 AI Learning Lab.
1:09:06 Why doesn't it have our little logo?
1:09:08 That's weird.
1:09:11 Is this learning lab-ai?
1:09:14 Oh, that's Wait, this is pipe dream. I
1:09:16 don't want to sign up to pipe dream. Oh,
1:09:17 yeah, I do. Yeah, I do.
1:09:21 Try again.
1:09:24 This
1:09:28 this
1:09:30 air learning lab.
1:09:42 [clears throat]
1:09:42 [singing]
1:09:49 All right. Authentic authentication
1:09:51 successful.
1:09:54 Zoom. Zoom admin zero accounting.
1:09:57 Text belt is good for low volume, by the
1:10:00 way. All right. Um, okay. I don't What
1:10:03 did I turn on? Do I have a way to just
1:10:05 look at here? Connected.
1:10:09 So, I've got Gmail, Discord, Google
1:10:12 Forms.
1:10:17 Sorry, I meant chat. GPT Dolly Sor is
1:10:20 good. Okay, leaving for real now. Miss
1:10:22 you already. Thank you, Ken. Bye-bye.
1:10:25 [laughter]
1:10:27 Okay, let's go back to computer. Here we
1:10:31 are.
1:10:34 Um,
1:10:37 let's see.
1:10:39 Go
1:10:42 to my
1:10:45 YouTube channel
1:10:50 and find
1:10:53 any videos
1:10:56 that
1:10:59 mention the word
1:11:03 janky.
1:11:11 active. Okay.
1:11:13 Looking up Kyle's YouTube channel.
1:11:21 Oh, wait. Let me stop.
1:11:24 Um, sorry. I meant
1:11:29 the AI learning
1:11:32 lab channel.
1:11:36 at learning lab-ai
1:11:42 on YouTube. All right, let's see. Let's
1:11:46 see if it can find it now. More better.
1:11:48 No problem. Let me go look at that
1:11:50 YouTube channel. Search through the
1:11:51 videos for any mention of Jenkee. Here's
1:11:55 what I'm hoping. Because there's a
1:11:57 connection to YouTube. YouTube's got all
1:12:00 our [ __ ]
1:12:02 Lord Digital Gods has chapters in there
1:12:04 which probably mention the word janky.
1:12:07 So, so there's three levels to this.
1:12:10 The first level is can it find videos
1:12:13 with the word janky mentioned? That
1:12:15 would be decent. The next level would be
1:12:18 can it find videos
1:12:21 that mention janky and then jump to the
1:12:23 chapters that have them. And then the
1:12:27 best thing it could do is it actually
1:12:28 finds the word janky in the video itself
1:12:30 and it jumps you right to that time
1:12:32 code.
1:12:34 I doubt it's going to be the third one.
1:12:36 It could be the second one. It's
1:12:38 probably going to be the first one.
1:12:42 H lordy lordy lordy.
1:12:48 [clears throat]
1:12:50 Where's Mimi tonight? Side hustle mimi
1:12:52 not in the house.
1:12:54 What up? Adam's going to have to have PC
1:12:58 do nefarious stuff.
1:13:02 What are you on again? Right now we're
1:13:03 on um Perplexity Computer.
1:13:07 Again, for for everyone, especially the
1:13:09 people I'm working with that think I'm
1:13:11 just going to turn these bots loose on
1:13:12 our stuff. I'm not. Now, is it possible
1:13:16 that in learning I just wipe our whole
1:13:19 hard drive? Yeah, it's possible. But I
1:13:22 don't think I will. [snorts]
1:13:24 >> [clears throat]
1:13:28 >> What name is this app? This app is
1:13:31 Perplexity Computer.
1:13:34 No, it's Perplexity Computer. It's brand
1:13:36 new as of today. You have to have a
1:13:38 Perplexity Max subscription, which is
1:13:40 200 bucks a month, which is a lot.
1:13:44 So, I'm going to do it for
1:13:47 at least a week.
1:13:51 Copy. Clone the drive. Yeah, probably
1:13:53 not a bad idea, Andy. [laughter]
1:13:57 I mean, I think Google Drive has decent
1:14:00 backups. Like, we you can go back to,
1:14:02 you know, an an image of our Google
1:14:05 Drive a day ago. So, if it wipes it, it
1:14:07 should we should be able to back it up,
1:14:09 but it's probably not a bad idea to
1:14:11 confirm that.
1:14:13 Free trial and canceled. Yeah, exactly.
1:14:18 All right. Searching. Let's see. Can we
1:14:20 look at what it's doing?
1:14:24 Scrolling to the top of the search bar,
1:14:27 interacting with the page.
1:14:34 Yeah, it's it's definitely on our
1:14:36 channel. Look at that.
1:14:40 Oh, look. It it found janky. Look how
1:14:43 today's janky AI will reshape tomorrow's
1:14:46 work. The future of work from janky to
1:14:48 sophisticated. Kyle shows his janky AI
1:14:51 toys. [laughter]
1:14:55 It's doing it.
1:14:57 It's doing it. Again, there's not much
1:14:59 to look at when agents are doing their
1:15:01 thing. They're off doing their thing.
1:15:05 Copy. Clone the drive. Text belt's good
1:15:07 for low.
1:15:10 AI should be an should be an automatic
1:15:13 canceled or I would forget. Yeah, I
1:15:14 know. Joy perie. Oh, you got to share.
1:15:16 DM me.
1:15:18 How we doing on time? 9:15. Let's We
1:15:20 We'll just keep Hey, while this is doing
1:15:22 this, why don't we jump over Here's
1:15:24 Napster. Why don't we jump over to
1:15:26 gemini.google.com?
1:15:30 We've got new nano banana 2
1:15:35 [panting]
1:15:40 create image. So, we're in fast. So, I
1:15:43 assume this is the flash model.
1:15:47 If you go to pro, that's Nano Banana
1:15:48 Pro. If you go in fast, this is Nano
1:15:50 Banana 2. So, we're going to say create
1:15:53 image. I like Technicolor. Let's do I'll
1:15:56 I'll do the classic because everybody
1:15:57 asks for it. Nobody asks for it,
1:15:59 actually. 1970s.
1:16:03 I think Silverf Fox likes this prompt.
1:16:06 1970s
1:16:08 muscle car resto mod
1:16:13 in an abandoned
1:16:18 factory.
1:16:20 We'll add some fun things with a
1:16:23 flock of pigeons
1:16:29 flying around the rafters.
1:16:35 and
1:16:38 dusk
1:16:41 sunlight
1:16:44 bursting through the
1:16:48 broken factory windows.
1:16:54 All right.
1:17:00 And then I'm going to hit technicolor.
1:17:03 There we go. Do we want to add anything
1:17:05 else?
1:17:09 No,
1:17:11 we just want technicolor.
1:17:16 Was anyone else on producer AI weight
1:17:19 list? I just received an email saying
1:17:21 I'm in now. No. That's good, Steo. Good
1:17:25 for you. Make it drop bird poo. I was I
1:17:28 almost put And there's bird poo on the
1:17:31 on the car.
1:17:34 Yeah, that's pretty [ __ ] good.
1:17:37 That's a
1:17:40 69 Mustang. I think
1:17:43 it's got a heavily modded grill, so it's
1:17:46 definitely a resto mod. There's pigeons
1:17:49 flying around the air. There's dusk sun
1:17:51 coming through broken windows.
1:17:55 That's pretty [ __ ] good.
1:17:59 Should
1:18:07 do a montage of my first resto mods to
1:18:10 now. That's not a bad idea.
1:18:13 62 maybe. No, that's not a 62. That's a
1:18:16 67 or a 69. I think it's a 69.
1:18:22 [clears throat]
1:18:30 Um, oh, you know what else I want to
1:18:32 create? Okay, so let's say let me get
1:18:35 rid of nano banana for now. And then
1:18:38 let's do um
1:18:41 let's do tools. I don't want deep
1:18:44 research. We'll just have it research.
1:18:45 I'm going to say research um the latest.
1:18:52 Oh, this is good. Um,
1:18:56 import
1:18:58 and export
1:19:02 numbers for
1:19:05 bananas
1:19:08 globally.
1:19:11 Globally.
1:19:16 [clears throat]
1:19:21 Jimmy off in the trunk. [laughter]
1:19:25 All these things. You are automatically
1:19:28 agreeing to give my Gmail account a
1:19:31 headache. [laughter]
1:19:36 Listen. Listen. I'm willing to be the uh
1:19:39 the fool for you. Okay.
1:19:44 So, there's a bunch of [ __ ] right? So,
1:19:47 now I'm going to say nano banana create
1:19:49 image. I'm gonna say, "Make me a
1:19:55 visually clear
1:19:58 and compelling
1:20:02 um infographic
1:20:06 I can show at the National
1:20:10 Banana
1:20:13 Growers meeting."
1:20:16 [laughter]
1:20:19 Kyle's always taking one for the T team.
1:20:22 Oh, did your songs go missing? Oh, yeah.
1:20:25 On on Producer AI,
1:20:28 here's what they said on on their on
1:20:30 their Discord that Brandon went and
1:20:32 looked at the other night. Producer AI,
1:20:35 we got bought by Google. Google wants to
1:20:38 use their own model. Their model's
1:20:40 incompatible with our model. So, sorry
1:20:43 about your songs.
1:20:49 Okay.
1:20:51 Ecuador 4.19 billion. Guatemala 1.54.
1:20:56 Colombia 1.58. Why are those not in
1:20:59 order? Why are those in the wrong order?
1:21:01 Why?
1:21:05 Okay. United States 3 billion. Okay.
1:21:09 Let's go look at the actual numbers.
1:21:13 Ecuador 4.9,
1:21:15 Guatemala 1.54.
1:21:19 Colombia 1.58. I think that's right.
1:21:22 Right.
1:21:25 1.18. Yeah. So, the numbers are
1:21:28 accurate.
1:21:32 There you go.
1:21:34 Look, it even put even put the little
1:21:36 thing at the bottom by country size, I
1:21:38 think. Oh, interesting. Based on
1:21:39 estimated global data, disease threats,
1:21:44 fusarium wilt, concern in Ecuador, price
1:21:48 fluctuations.
1:21:50 Oh, wait. What's this? Emerging trends
1:21:52 and industry focus.
1:21:57 I don't see any big typos. They were
1:21:59 they they apparently dramatically
1:22:01 improved
1:22:03 typos.
1:22:08 Holy [ __ ] man. If you used to do
1:22:10 infographics
1:22:12 or if you're currently in the business
1:22:15 of doing infographics, this would be one
1:22:17 you wouldn't want to look at right now.
1:22:19 To clear to clarify, producer AI dropped
1:22:22 the new model and cleared the old songs.
1:22:25 Then Google bought them. Oh,
1:22:31 and cleared the new model. Huh.
1:22:36 Um, let's say,
1:22:39 um, I want
1:22:42 this to be an infographic
1:22:48 that was
1:22:50 tattooed
1:22:52 onto
1:22:54 an actual banana.
1:22:59 And this is the studio photograph
1:23:04 of the banana
1:23:09 with all the stats
1:23:14 and graphics
1:23:18 easily readable.
1:23:28 Um,
1:23:30 this
1:23:34 should look
1:23:36 professional enough
1:23:39 to be in a
1:23:42 magazine.
1:23:44 Let's see if Let's see how it can handle
1:23:46 complex prompt. Worth mentioning your
1:23:52 on 3.1 flash. Yeah, I'm on. You'll
1:23:54 notice down at the bottom here, it says
1:23:56 fast. So, this is in the flash model,
1:24:00 which which means this is
1:24:03 the exciting thing about this for me is
1:24:05 I'm going to be able to give Adam, my
1:24:08 bot,
1:24:09 um, access to Nano Banana 2. And this is
1:24:13 I think this is like pretty
1:24:14 significantly cheaper than Nano Banana
1:24:16 Pro. [snorts]
1:24:19 Oh, here we go. Bang. Look at that.
1:24:22 Now, it sort of did what I was looking
1:24:24 for.
1:24:28 That's actually kind of a cool
1:24:31 cool thing.
1:24:33 Let's Let's see if we can get it. I This
1:24:36 is going to be one of those things where
1:24:37 nano banana is really bad. Once it gets
1:24:39 an idea in its head, you can't get it
1:24:41 off there. So, let's say I just want to
1:24:45 see the banana
1:24:49 um with the graphics on it. It is
1:24:56 sitting in
1:24:59 a
1:25:01 Let's Why don't we do this? We'll say it
1:25:03 is
1:25:05 Let's see. I just want to see the banana
1:25:07 with the graphics on it. It is one of
1:25:11 many bananas
1:25:13 in a bunch in a fruit bowl
1:25:18 in
1:25:20 a nice modern
1:25:24 modern
1:25:27 farm kitchen.
1:25:38 Yeah, I was thinking that, Brandon, but
1:25:40 I want to I just want to see how good
1:25:42 Nano Banana 2 is at solving stuff. Like,
1:25:47 if there's not enough room on a banana,
1:25:48 does it just make it smaller? Does it
1:25:50 zoom in on the picture?
1:25:52 Oh, there we go. Look, it did it. Holy
1:25:56 [ __ ]
1:25:58 There you go.
1:26:02 That's [ __ ] bonkers.
1:26:19 Yeah,
1:26:22 Brand Brandon did a uh a weather
1:26:24 forecast. He took some weather data and
1:26:26 told it to make a weather forecast. This
1:26:28 is pretty good. I mean, like if you were
1:26:31 doing a um
1:26:33 if you were doing a presentation,
1:26:36 you wanted something that was memorable.
1:26:37 You start out with that shot and then
1:26:38 you zoom in on this and you talk about
1:26:41 all the all the silliness.
1:26:45 Pretty slick.
1:26:49 All right, let's go back to Plexity.
1:26:54 Out of 929 videos checked, I found six
1:26:58 videos that mentioned janky or jank.
1:27:01 There they are. This one in title only.
1:27:03 This one in description only. Looks like
1:27:06 janky is a recurring theme for you.
1:27:09 Um,
1:27:14 I'm going to say, did you look in the
1:27:19 chapters? Are they called chapters?
1:27:25 in the descriptions.
1:27:29 I want to be able to jump
1:27:33 to the section
1:27:37 where
1:27:39 I say janky.
1:27:44 Now, let's go click on some of their
1:27:45 links. One of the things that you
1:27:47 discover about AI is that it'll give you
1:27:49 hyperlinks and often they don't work.
1:27:52 How today's janky AI will reshape
1:27:54 tomorrow's work.
1:28:01 >> I know you can't hear on YouTube.
1:28:16 All right.
1:28:20 [sighs and gasps]
1:28:21 Uh uh uh uh uh uh
1:28:25 reading the expanded descriptions. Okay,
1:28:27 that's going to take a while. All right.
1:28:30 Well,
1:28:31 [sighs]
1:28:34 I don't know how I'm going to get good
1:28:35 at this. I gave it no weather data. I
1:28:38 told it to get the weather data. Tik Tok
1:28:40 didn't. Cool. Ads, ads, ads everywhere.
1:28:44 Baby Kyle, I know that was that was me
1:28:46 from years ago, wasn't it?
1:28:49 >> [laughter]
1:28:53 >> Oh my goodness. My goodness. All right.
1:28:57 Um
1:28:59 I think I'm gonna get on out of here.
1:29:00 Anybody have a request for Nano Banana?
1:29:03 You want me to make an image of
1:29:04 something? So, tomorrow
1:29:07 at 11:00 a.m. on on on if you go to the
1:29:11 AI salon community.
1:29:14 AI, click on events,
1:29:17 and then tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. I've got
1:29:18 AI salon office hours. You should come
1:29:21 to office hours.
1:29:23 Um, and then tomorrow night is just a
1:29:27 normal Friday night, isn't it? Or is
1:29:29 tomorrow March 1st?
1:29:37 Still February. Okay. So 11:00 a.m.
1:29:41 Mountain time is office hours and then
1:29:43 8:00 p.m. Mountain time is Friday night
1:29:45 date night. Be here or be on a date
1:29:49 [laughter]
1:29:50 or bring your date here. If you want to
1:29:52 get rid of your date, just tell tell
1:29:55 them you want to go back and and YouTube
1:29:58 and chill and then put on my channel and
1:30:01 watch how quickly they'll leave.
1:30:04 Um, [clears throat]
1:30:06 any requests? Oh, let's see.
1:30:10 Jimmy Hoffa
1:30:16 in the trunk
1:30:22 of
1:30:24 a 1970s
1:30:26 muscle car. This is good. muscle car
1:30:31 restood
1:30:36 in an abandoned
1:30:40 factory with
1:30:43 Giants Stadium or is it Jet Stadium?
1:30:47 It's Jet Stadium, right? Giant stadium.
1:30:51 Which one's in Jersey near that? I think
1:30:53 it's Giant Stadium that they said Hoff
1:30:56 is in the end zone. Anybody?
1:30:59 Anybody?
1:31:01 Come on. Someone's got to have mob
1:31:02 history in their [laughter] in their
1:31:05 brain.
1:31:09 Don't know.
1:31:11 Okay. With Giant Stadium in the
1:31:14 distance.
1:31:17 [snorts] All right. Here we go.
1:31:20 This should be funny.
1:31:23 It was Giant Stadium. I knew it.
1:31:36 How new is Gemini Banana 2? It is one
1:31:39 less than a day old. It was announced
1:31:41 this morning.
1:31:43 Do you remember how long we used to have
1:31:45 to wait for these? Yes. Remember that?
1:31:47 Oh my god. [laughter]
1:31:49 There's Giant Stadium in the background.
1:31:52 There's Jimmy Hoff in the trunk.
1:31:55 [laughter]
1:32:00 1970. Nice challenger.
1:32:03 That's [clears throat] good. That's
1:32:05 really good. It's a little
1:32:07 illustration-y. I'm going to say make it
1:32:09 more
1:32:11 um This is great, but it feels like an
1:32:18 illustration.
1:32:20 Make it a
1:32:24 um cinematic
1:32:27 um film photo
1:32:32 like
1:32:35 Kodak Chrome
1:32:38 or something that makes it very very
1:32:43 realistic.
1:32:49 >> [snorts]
1:32:52 >> All right, we'll go back to perplexity.
1:32:54 Did it solve anything?
1:32:57 Nope.
1:33:12 >> [sighs and gasps]
1:33:18 >> Yeah, it didn't really didn't really.
1:33:21 Although the giant stadium looks better
1:33:27 on the blanket. Nice.
1:33:30 [laughter]
1:33:33 [gasps]
1:33:35 Oh my god. Oh my god. All right,
1:33:39 everybody. I noticed notebook LM and the
1:33:41 detailed slides and infographic is more
1:33:43 detailed and less errors. Cool. From a
1:33:46 few hours ago testing out Gemini Nano
1:33:49 Banana 2 and Notebook LM testing. I'm
1:33:51 hoping for more features.
1:33:55 It looks like it's doing this in uh 16
1:33:58 by9. I wonder if I can say make this a
1:34:03 3x4 tall image.
1:34:09 See if it's better at doing aspect
1:34:11 ratios because it was pretty shitty at
1:34:13 it before.
1:34:17 Dear Perplexity. Oh.
1:34:25 527 intro and janky times. Embrace the
1:34:29 janky images.
1:34:33 Listen
1:34:42 [laughter] to my air conditioner.
1:34:45 Oh, you all can't hear that on YouTube.
1:34:47 Anyway, you can hear my air air
1:34:49 conditioner.
1:34:51 All right. Well, so Perplexity um
1:34:54 computer
1:34:55 that YouTube plugin worked. It could it
1:34:58 could find chapter mentions. It's not
1:35:01 doing semantic search, but it's doing
1:35:02 pretty good.
1:35:04 It's searching across a channel, which
1:35:08 here's the thing. You know who owns
1:35:10 YouTube?
1:35:14 Google. You know what Google's really
1:35:17 good at?
1:35:20 Search.
1:35:22 And they're good at AI now. Why can
1:35:26 why is YouTube not just like this insane
1:35:31 data searchable autoeditable
1:35:35 monstrosity of a bitching ass product
1:35:41 because they don't have an angry Gen Xer
1:35:42 sitting in the [ __ ] corner.
1:35:45 [laughter]
1:35:46 Oh, it just squashed the image. That's
1:35:48 bad.
1:35:49 It made it vertical. I don't think it's
1:35:51 3x4.
1:35:54 It's more like 3x5
1:35:58 and they it just squashed it. So that's
1:36:01 that's disappointing.
1:36:05 I can be insane. Yeah, but you left. So
1:36:09 who's talking?
1:36:11 Is this is this is this a Jimmy Hoffa
1:36:14 thing?
1:36:20 Just subscribe to the YouTube channel.
1:36:22 Awesome. Thank you so much. Appreciate
1:36:23 that. Okay, I'm going to get out of
1:36:25 here. Um, perplexity computer
1:36:30 looks promising. I'll keep playing with
1:36:32 that and see if I can discover anything
1:36:34 actually cool about it. Um, I didn't
1:36:37 work on Adam tonight, so he's not
1:36:39 improved. I I have nothing new to
1:36:41 report.
1:36:44 Um, I am going to try to install the
1:36:46 Quen
1:36:48 2.5 flash model and see if it performs
1:36:52 decently on my uh gaming rig. So, we'll
1:36:55 see.
1:36:57 That's [clears throat] classified.
1:36:59 All right, Groovy. Everyone, tomorrow's
1:37:01 Friday. Come to office hours. I will see
1:37:03 you there. Um, if you don't know where
