Description
This lively discussion explores the evolving landscape of narrative and storytelling in the age of AI. Kyle Shannon delves into the potential of large language models like ChatGPT, highlighting their ability not just to generate text and images, but to maintain context and continuity across different creative outputs. This capability, as demonstrated through examples like designing a house from blueprint to photorealistic image, suggests a shift from AI as a simple tool to a collaborative partner in the creative process. The conversation also touches on Anthropic's research into the "thinking" processes of AI, raising intriguing questions about the nature of artificial intelligence and its potential for true creative thought. Kyle marvels at the ability of these models to plan ahead, as evidenced by their approach to poetry generation, challenging the notion of AI as merely a "stochastic parrot."
Building on these observations, Kyler introduces a compelling vision for the future of narrative: the "emotional architecture" within co-creative universes. This concept envisions authors creating frameworks or worlds where others can contribute and participate, generating diverse expressions within defined aesthetic and thematic boundaries. This model, exemplified by the AI Salon's shared mood board for image generation, proposes a new ecosystem for storytelling where authorship becomes decentralized and collaborative.

I don't know words. Some 4:24 people have a way with words. Other 4:26 people not have way. I guess you'd 4:34 say. All 4:37 right. Something's different. Can you 4:39 feel it? Did you 4:41 notice? Did you notice something has 4:44 [Music] 4:47 changed? There's more energy. People are 4:50 excited again. 4:53 [Music] 5:24 Let us be lovers. Well, marry our 5:27 fortunes 5:30 together. I've got some real estate here 5:33 in my bag. 5:36 So we bought a pack of 5:38 cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's 5:41 pass and we've all come to look for 5:45 America. 5:47 [Music] 5:58 [Applause] 6:01 [Music] 6:06 [Applause] 6:07 [Music] 6:15 It's like I have precision with 6:17 fingerpicking minus the precision. 6:23 [Laughter] 6:30 Happy Friday night everybody. I hope 6:32 you're 6:32 [Music] 6:36 well. We're going to continue playing 6:38 with 6:39 uh Chat GBT. Tonight 6:46 [Music] 7:14 Oh, Champ, you're such a good singing 7:16 dog. 7:22 [Music] 7:32 [Music] 7:35 Woohoo! Woo! 7:38 [Music] 8:06 Um, what's happening? What's happening? 8:09 What's happening? What's happening? 8:10 What's happening? 8:15 I had a bunch of good meetings today. We 8:18 had a really nice AI office hours. Saw 8:20 some old friends. That was really nice. 8:22 It was small. It was a smaller group 8:24 today, which was kind of cool. It was It 8:26 was a small intense 8:29 group. Very well talked. It was a very 8:32 well It was a very very smart group of 8:34 people that showed up today. And then I 8:37 was there too. 8:41 [Music] 8:43 [Applause] 8:47 Um, but yeah, we were talking about 8:50 this. 8:51 Uh, something is shifting. I think we've 8:54 crossed a threshold. I think we've 8:56 crossed a 8:57 Rubicon. I don't know what a Rubicon is, 9:00 but I think we've crossed 9:01 it because I know you cross them in 9:04 movies. Thank you, Spin B3. I missed it 9:07 again. Oh, dang it. chemical 9:10 farmer. I always forget until like 2 PM. 9:13 Yeah, it's at 11:00 a.m. Mountain, so 9:16 it's a little early if you're on the 9:17 West Coast. Purple Rain. That was Purple 9:21 [Music] 9:26 Rain. Wait. 9:31 [Music] 9:46 Only want one time to see you 9:51 laughing. Only want to see you laughing 9:54 in that purple rain. Purple rain. Purple 10:01 rain. Purple rain. Purple 10:07 rain. Purple rain. Purple 10:12 [Music] 10:15 rain. I only want to see you laughing in 10:20 that purple. 10:24 Yeah. And then from that point forward, 10:26 Martin Ston like sings really good. 10:30 That's where I stop. 10:36 You got to know your limitations, 10:37 people. Just go right up to the edge of 10:39 them and then sneak over occasionally 10:41 and just go, "Yeah, that's not 10:43 [Laughter] 10:47 me." Although, you know, with this AI 10:51 [ __ ] I think we should all be a bit 10:54 more bold in what we think we can do. 11:01 [Music] 11:13 Um, let's let's go look at some 11:15 stuff. Let's go look at some 11:19 stuff. What's going on? How is 11:21 everybody? I got no comments going on on 11:24 YouTube. What the hell's going on on 11:25 YouTube? No thumbs up, no likes, no 11:27 comments. the hell you people doing over 11:30 there? Probably just a bunch of people 11:32 on X going, "Who? Why is there an old 11:34 man on X? What's happening? What's 11:38 happening? I thought all the old men 11:40 were on TikTok. I don't understand it. 11:43 What's 11:44 happening?" Um, sounds good, but Champy 11:48 always helps. He He howls good. Yeah, 11:50 exactly. I mean, that's the thing. When 11:52 you have when you have a lead singer as 11:55 a 11:55 dog, you can fill in the gaps. Just let 11:59 him take the 12:04 lead. Uh, there are comments on YouTube. 12:09 Really? I ain't seeing 12:13 them, 12:14 huh? Oh, there they are. I had a I had a 12:19 screen redraw issue. 12:22 Well, let me see what we got 12:25 here. I watched the Bob Dylan tonight. I 12:28 prefer watching Kyle. Thank you. Well, 12:30 you know, it's so funny you say that, 12:32 Vicki. A lot of times people are like, 12:35 you know, do you like Timothy Shalomé? 12:38 And and people like, he's no Kyle 12:41 Shannon. Like, I hear that all the time. 12:44 They're like, yeah, it's not the AI 12:46 learning lab. I mean, sure, he took five 12:48 years of his life and transformed 12:50 himself into Dylan, but you know, is is 12:53 there a singing dog? I don't think so. 12:56 Yeah, I hear it all the time. Shalom or 12:59 Shannon? Which way you going? And I 13:01 listen, I can't help it if people lean 13:05 my direction. Right. It's just it's a 13:07 magnetism I've got. It's a natural 13:10 genetic gift that I have been sprinkled 13:13 on by the gods. So anyway, thank you for 13:16 the for the kind words. 13:21 Uh ah the chat servers must be working 13:26 overtime. Oh, it took several tries 13:28 until I got my message. Another thing 13:30 that could be happening, Sharon, um one 13:33 of the things that they have started to 13:34 do is they have started to censor the 13:37 images. 13:39 What's fascinating is that they censor 13:41 them about threequarters of the way 13:43 through building an image and then they 13:45 realize, oh, this isn't going good. 13:46 Let's just delete it. So, that's a 13:48 possibility, 13:54 too. I'm not the biggest Adam Lavine 13:56 fan. If you hear his purple rain live 13:58 from the Stern party. Oh, cool. Nice. 14:01 We're here. Okay, good. Everybody's 14:03 here. I couldn't see anyone. Chef's 14:05 kiss. Very nice. 14:06 Um, I did not enjoy the music. I agree. 14:09 AI learning lab much better matter. 14:10 Shannon all the 14:12 way. You guys are [ __ ] weird. We're 14:14 not weird. We're irregular. I thought we 14:18 established that 14:19 yesterday. Good 14:24 lord. 14:25 Okay, let's get going. Um, yes, that 14:29 happened to me today. My chat art. I was 14:32 very disappointed. Yeah. Where where it 14:33 deleted it after it generated it. Yeah, 14:36 they're they're doing that 14:37 now. They have an algorithm in there 14:40 that says, "Did this make an image that 14:43 we might get sued by a big company for?" 14:46 And if the answer is yes, they delete 14:47 it. It 14:52 sucks. AI Learning Lab is the favorite 14:55 hangout in Shellington. If you weren't 14:57 here last night, we invented a 14:59 city. We've got the the Irregular Turtle 15:02 Society. If you're not part of 15:05 that, you weren't here last night. And I 15:08 got no sympathy for you. Here's the 15:11 deal. You people, you people, you you're 15:13 like, "Yeah, I want to learn AI." And 15:16 and then you're like, "Well, I'll come a 15:18 night a week or once or twice a 15:21 month." You miss 15:24 out. And I mean, listen, I think there's 15:27 a legitimate argument to be said 15:30 that a solid 90% of the hours of of 15:35 entertainment that I procure here are 15:38 useless, wasted time, you'll never get 15:40 back in your life. But it's that 10%, 15:43 it's the [ __ ] magic. It 15:47 happens. It's like a baseball game. 15:50 Occasionally, something happens, you 15:53 know, then you drink beer in between. 15:59 Oh 16:01 man. Um, Chef Kelly, I was embarrassed 16:04 after my botched virtual webinar today 16:07 and then I remembered you do this every 16:09 day. Yeah. Listen, botched. I assume it 16:13 was not massively botched. Maybe it 16:15 didn't quite go as planned. But this is, 16:18 think of this as inspiration for Well, 16:21 it couldn't be that bad. 16:25 Now 16:26 listen, to be fair, you don't have a $20 16:30 million production studio like I do, 16:33 right? Like it's not going to look this 16:35 good, right? But just, you 16:39 know, and sure, this is fully scripted, 16:43 right? I spend most of my days learning 16:45 the lines for the performance of the 16:47 night. This show is very much like the 16:50 uh that Netflix series 16:51 Adolescence, right? where I memorized 16:54 the script. It's a single camera 16:56 take, you know, dramatic action happens. 17:00 We produce this in such a way that it 17:03 looks 17:04 like I'm just 17:10 insane. 17:15 [Music] 17:17 See? All right, let's go look at some 17:19 [ __ ] source camp in 17:27 house. Did I not share? What's going on 17:30 here? Okay, there is just weird ass 17:34 stuff going on with my 17:36 StreamYard. 17:38 Um, okay. So, here I am. I'm at I'm at 17:41 the chat GPT. I don't know if you all 17:43 know chat GPT. If you go to 17:46 chatgpt.com or even just chat.com, 17:49 uh you might have heard you can make 17:51 money with chat. This is the place you 17:54 go. You just go there and and when you 17:57 type in a prompt, you can make money 18:00 from 18:01 that. And you're like, "Well, how do I 18:03 make money from that?" Well, you pay me 18:05 the 18:07 $49.95 a week for the secret lesson. 18:13 That's how you make money from it. Well, 18:15 no. That's how I make money from it. It 18:18 And then but then what you do is you 18:22 take what I did and then you do 18:25 that. But it's not easy. Like you have 18:28 to be able to go you can make money with 18:30 chat. You you can't just say you can 18:33 make money on chat 18:35 GBT. It's like it doesn't it just 18:38 doesn't work unless you're like 18:42 at right. And that's what I'll teach 18:45 you. I'll teach you the secrets to 18:47 artificial intelligence are making a Tik 18:49 Tok channel to sell methylene blue and 18:53 and Madagascar vanilla beans and 18:55 cardboard cutters. That's how you make 18:58 money with chat GPT. The Tik Tok 19:01 shop. You see it? Like is it all 19:03 starting to come together? Because it 19:05 should it should be really 19:08 clear. No. 19:13 I I I I don't know what to say. Like if 19:15 you're thick in the 19:17 head, it's that's not on me. You're 19:20 like, "But Kyle, you told us we didn't 19:22 have to be technical." You don't have to 19:24 be technical, but you have to learn how 19:25 to say words. Words like 19:30 cha, you 19:32 see? Anyway, um, chat 19:40 GPT. Oh, good 19:43 lord. All the regulars are like, "All 19:45 right, I got 15 minutes here. I got to 19:47 run to the 19:48 [Laughter] 19:53 bathroom." Ah, yes. Words. I I am saying 19:57 words, Tom. I words. Words, words, 20:01 words, words, 20:05 words. Um, I did start watching Sing 20:09 Sing tonight, the the uh the movie about 20:12 the uh the prison theater troop. It's 20:15 pretty good. It's pretty good. I'm like 20:16 halfway through it. 20:18 Um, I wanted to like one of the things I 20:21 wanted to explore 20:24 tonight 20:26 is you know how when you're using chat 20:29 GPT one of the secrets of it is is how 20:32 you say it and the other secret 20:36 is it's not so much that you get good at 20:39 prompting but it's more like you get 20:41 good at conversation with chat GPT right 20:44 you start to understand its personality 20:46 and you start to understand how you and 20:48 give it 20:49 feedback and if you do the conversations 20:51 right you can 20:53 maintain a thread of understanding 20:56 through a long conversation right and 20:59 that's like I feel like when you get 21:01 good with chat GPT it's kind of like 21:03 this ongoing conversation that you just 21:05 keep improving it and improving it 21:07 improving it and where it gets 21:08 frustrating is you improve it improve it 21:10 and then it falls apart 21:12 right and so now that image generation 21:16 is native within in the platform. I was 21:19 like, can you maintain that same kind of 21:23 um context and continuity across images? 21:27 And so, so I just put this prompt up. I 21:31 said, "Make me a blueprint of a radical 21:33 design for a new kind of house." And I 21:36 was expecting it to draw a picture. 21:39 And and what it did, which I thought was 21:43 kind of interesting, is it described the 21:46 house. So what did it say? A living, 21:50 learning, breathing structure that 21:51 adapts the spiral nest that adapts to 21:54 its occupants and environment. It's part 21:57 bioarchchitecture, part digital habitat, 22:00 part sensory cocoon. A house that feels 22:04 you thinking and responds in kind. Um 22:07 and then they describe the different 22:09 areas. Its shape is a spiral shell 22:12 inspired by the Fibonacci sequence. The 22:15 level one is called the root zone. Level 22:17 two is called the mind deck. Level three 22:20 is called the green loop. Level four is 22:22 the dream 22:23 nest bonus the morph room. So that was 22:27 kind of cool. And then I said, well, you 22:31 know, make me a blueprint of the floor 22:33 plan. But I said floor plan, but 22:35 whatever. And then it wrote 22:39 code and it wrote like a Fibonacci 22:42 spiral and then it and then it did like 22:45 Python drawing which is not at all what 22:48 I wanted but it's kind of 22:52 interesting and it it's kind of an 22:55 interesting floor. It's like it's 22:57 interesting that it that it it thought 23:00 about the math of the house, right? So 23:04 then I said, "No, no, make me a like a 23:06 blueprint as if an architect drew 23:09 it." And it did it. And it essentially 23:15 maintained the same thing, right? It's 23:17 got the 23:19 spirals. It's got a It's got an area 23:21 called the digestion zone. I don't know 23:24 if that's a bathroom or if that's if if 23:28 you just walk in circles here after you 23:32 eat. And then I said, "Now, let me see a 23:34 watercolor visualization of it." And it 23:38 did 23:39 that. It's pretty [ __ ] good. Like 23:42 it's in the neighborhood of what an 23:44 architect would 23:46 do. It's got a floating bridge and the 23:49 entrance and the entry garden. Now, it's 23:52 not complete. Like, this was all very 23:54 fast and it's got plants inside the 23:57 house and there there's no actual 23:59 kitchen where you can cook [ __ ] There's 24:01 just a table, but still pretty cool. 24:04 Then I said, 24:07 um, now make it a photograph as if it 24:10 were taken for Architectural 24:12 Digest. And then there's there's the 24:15 thing. And it maintains the foot bridge. 24:18 It maintains the pond. It maintains the 24:20 table, the central spiral staircase, the 24:23 spiral shape of the 24:27 house. And then one of the things I 24:29 heard is you can ask it to give you the 24:32 prompt of an image. And so I said, "Hey, 24:34 can you give me the prompt of the 24:36 image?" And what it wrote was, "This 24:38 this stunning highresolution photo 24:41 captures a con contemporary 24:43 spiral-shaped home with curved glass 24:46 walls set against a vibrant green 24:48 landscape. Sleek concrete roof spirals 24:51 upward, and the floating bridge leads to 24:53 the entrance." But it like didn't feel 24:55 like it had enough detail to 24:58 generate all that. And so then I asked 25:02 it. I said, 25:05 um, it seems like there would be more to 25:07 the prompt than that. Did it incorporate 25:10 incorporate the previous watercolor 25:13 image to get the shape of the house? And 25:15 it said, "Great question. You're totally 25:18 on 25:18 point." The photo style image did draw 25:21 on the previous watercolor image 25:24 indirectly by carrying forward the 25:27 visual memory of the design. Now, here's 25:30 what I don't know. This is chat GPT. So 25:33 it's possible that it absolutely 25:35 hallucinated this. But if it's true, 25:38 what this is saying is it's it 25:43 understands this code. It understands 25:46 this drawing. It understands this 25:48 drawing. It took that drawing to make 25:51 that image. It took that image to make 25:53 that 25:54 image. And then it said, "Do you want to 25:56 see the interior?" And I'm like, "Sure, 25:58 show me the interior." here. And there's 25:59 like there's the interior, I guess, out 26:01 the back of the 26:02 house. I mean, that's pretty [ __ ] 26:05 cool, 26:07 right? It's a tur It has a turtle ramp. 26:09 It totally has a turtle 26:16 ramp. But, you know, I thought that was 26:20 pretty [ __ ] swell. 26:25 I saw Kelly Camp did a uh a magazine 26:28 piece today here. Let me see if I can go 26:30 find 26:33 [Music] 26:39 it. So 26:43 good. There's Kelly's little 26:49 magazine. The new MVP, The Quiet 26:52 Revolution. 26:53 Beyond the buzzwords or buzz whirls as 26:56 chat GBT made it. AI isn't coming. It's 27:00 here. That's good. The human interface 27:02 to AI architect. That 27:05 cool. So if you don't know how she made 27:08 that, you can just go to chat GPT right 27:11 now. 27:13 Uh you can do three of these on the free 27:15 plan. I don't know if they've rolled it 27:17 out to the free plan yet, but for 20 27:19 bucks a month, you can upload a picture 27:21 of yourself and just tell it to put you 27:23 on the cover of a magazine and then 27:25 describe the magazine and let it write 27:27 the headlines or give it the 27:32 headlines and it does everything. It 27:34 does the 27:41 typography. So, that's pretty [ __ ] 27:43 swell. So, we'll we'll come back to chat 27:46 GBT because I I want to keep I want to 27:49 keep digging 27:51 into what's now 27:54 possible. I also want to see if we can 27:58 discover more about the upgrade of 4.0 28:00 and why it's good and how it's good and 28:02 what's different about it. Um, if anyone 28:05 has any thoughts, feel free to put them 28:06 in the comments. 28:09 Careful with thought. You'll invoke the 28:11 wrath of 28:16 Pate. I'm waiting for the day when it 28:19 says, "Great point, but you're totally 28:20 wrong, human." I, you know, I'm actually 28:23 waiting for that day, 28:25 too, 28:29 because I appreciate the fact that they 28:31 made Chat GPT a helpful 28:34 assistant, but sometimes it would be 28:36 nice to have it be a helpful critic, 28:39 right? It'd be nice if it could be 28:41 intelligent enough to navigate those two 28:44 roles. What's this 28:46 say? It carries things forward. Just try 28:50 creating a normal person and then 28:51 creating a Gibbli person. That's true. 28:53 Yeah, it's doing character consistency 28:55 that way. Um what I wanted to um watch 29:00 together. I only watched a little bit of 29:02 this. I'm going to I'm going to switch 29:04 my my tabs for a second here. 29:08 Um, Anthropic put out a big paper today, 29:13 um, and a blog post about how large 29:16 language models work, how they 29:19 think. Um, and I saw a couple of people 29:22 mention it as being a really profound 29:24 piece with a lot of jaw jaw-dropping 29:26 moments. Um, and I haven't I haven't 29:29 read it, so like I just saw it late in 29:31 the afternoon, but it's got this video 29:34 with it that that explains some of how 29:37 large language models work and how they 29:39 think. Um, and I thought it'd be fun for 29:41 us to watch it together. So, we'll do a 29:43 little movie night tonight. So, get your 29:46 popcorn. Go make your Jiffy Pop. Well, 29:50 Jiffy Pop, boy, that's that's old and 29:53 timey. What What What is the popcorn? Is 29:56 it all Is it Newman's own or is that 29:58 still old? What's the What's the popcorn 30:00 you're making in the microwave these 30:02 days? Or did we give up on microwave 30:05 popcorn and we're back to the stove? Are 30:07 we all bespoke 30:09 artisal 30:11 Oregon-based 30:13 handpicked every kernel massaged before 30:16 it's placed in the bag? It Where are 30:18 Where are we with popcorn? Or do you 30:20 just buy the bags of [ __ ] now? Done. 30:24 pre-done. Orville Red and Bucker. Okay. 30:32 Waffles. Waffles. Waffles are good, too. 30:35 I say we go waffles or 30:37 [Laughter] 30:42 popcorn. Oh, man. All right. Let me 30:45 change my let me change my tab 30:49 sharing and then we will watch a we'll 30:52 do a little movie 30:55 [Music] 31:08 watching. You often hear that AI is like 31:11 a black box. Words go in and words come 31:15 out, but we don't know why it's said 31:17 what it said. That's because AIs aren't 31:20 programmed, but trained. And during 31:23 training, they learn their own 31:24 strategies to solve problems. If we want 31:27 AIs to be as useful, reliable, and 31:30 secure as possible, we want to open up 31:33 the black box and understand why they do 31:35 things. But even opening the black box 31:39 isn't very helpful because we don't know 31:41 how to interpret what we see. Think of 31:44 it like a neuroscientist investigating 31:46 the brain. We need tools to work out 31:48 what's going on inside. We want to know 31:51 how the model connects all the concepts 31:53 in its mind and uses them to answer our 31:56 questions. Now, we've developed ways to 31:59 observe some of an AI model's internal 32:02 thought processes. We can actually see 32:04 how these concepts are connected to form 32:06 logical 32:07 circuits. Let's take a simple example 32:10 where we ask Claude to write the second 32:12 line of a poem. The poem starts, he saw 32:16 a carrot and had to grab it. In our 32:19 study, we found that Claude is planning 32:21 a rhyme even before writing the 32:23 beginning of the line. Claude sees a 32:26 carrot and grab it and thinks of rabbit 32:30 as a word that would make sense with 32:32 carrot and rhyme with rabbit. Then it 32:34 writes the rest of the line. His hunger 32:37 was like a starving rabbit. That's kind 32:39 of fascinating. I mean, it's like the in 32:43 in that first line, the valuable things 32:46 are carrot and grab it. He saw and had 32:50 to are not as important. So, I picked 32:52 the more important stuff. Kind of 32:55 cool. It's also when you write poems, 32:58 this actually makes sense. Now, it's 33:00 very hard to get it to write an 33:03 abab rhyming couplet. It always goes a 33:07 bb. So, it does them two lines at a 33:10 time. Be interesting to experiment and 33:11 see if you could prompt it out of 33:14 behaving like this. 33:16 We look at the place that the model was 33:20 thinking about the word rabbit and we 33:21 see other ideas it had for places to 33:25 take the poem. We also see the word 33:28 habit is present there. Our new methods 33:31 allow us to go in and intervene on this 33:33 circuit. In this case, we dampen down 33:36 rabbit as the model is planning the 33:38 second line of the poem and then ask 33:40 Claude to complete the line again. His 33:42 hunger was a powerful habit. We see that 33:45 the model is capable of taking the 33:47 beginning of a new poem and thinking of 33:49 different ways it could complete it and 33:51 then writing it towards those 33:53 completions. The fact we can cause these 33:56 changes to occur well before the final 33:58 line is written is strong evidence that 34:00 the model is planning ahead of time. 34:02 This poetry planning result along with 34:05 the many other examples in our paper 34:07 only makes sense in a world where the 34:09 models are really thinking in their own 34:11 way about what they say. 34:14 Just as neuroscience helps us treat 34:16 diseases and make people healthier, our 34:18 longerterm plan is to use this deeper 34:21 understanding of AI to help make the 34:23 model safer and more reliable. If we can 34:26 learn to read the model's mind, we can 34:28 be much more confident it is doing what 34:30 we intended. You can find many more 34:32 examples of Claude's internal thoughts 34:34 in our new paper at 34:36 anthropic.com/ressearch. 34:41 Um, yeah, that's fascinating. I mean, 34:44 this kind of blows the doors off 34:47 of, you know, it's just predicting the 34:50 next token. It's just a stochastic 34:53 parrot, right? You know, if it's 34:55 thinking ahead and like I don't know how 34:58 long it's thinking ahead, but that's 35:01 pretty interesting. And and don't forget 35:05 anthropic, their core imperative. So, 35:09 OpenAI's core imperative is to create 35:11 AGI, AGI, artificial general 35:14 intelligence, right? They want to make 35:15 it accessible to the world. Enthropic 35:18 was a spin-off of Open AI from some of 35:22 the main scientists from Open AI that 35:24 said, "We don't like the way you're 35:25 thinking about safety of these models. 35:27 We want to create an enthropic where our 35:29 prime imperative is safety, AI safety, 35:33 and and AI alignment." Um, and so that's 35:36 that's why this research makes really 35:40 good sense that they're doing it. Um, 35:42 but I find it fascinating that basically 35:45 what they're discovering is these things 35:47 actually think. Now, I don't think you 35:51 can go as far as, you know, they're 35:53 conscious, but, you know, this is this 35:56 is a different thing. And I'm sure if 35:58 Pate's in here, he's probably screaming 35:59 at the top of his lungs right 36:01 now. Um, let's see. Where's the paper 36:04 here? 36:06 [Music] 36:07 Um, probably at the bottom. Is there any 36:10 Yeah, there's lots of charts and graphs 36:12 that I I that won't make good won't make 36:15 good for tick 36:16 tocking. Um, but the the blog post is 36:21 pretty comprehensive and then I I assume 36:23 the paper's really good. Let's see. 36:31 revealing the computational graphs in 36:34 language 36:36 models. Many more details of the above 36:38 use cases in our second paper on the 36:41 biology of large language model. Wow, 36:46 that's a pretty bold that's pretty bold 36:49 statement. 36:50 We investigate the internal mechanism 36:53 used by claude 3.5 haiku enthropics 36:56 lightweight production model in various 36:59 contexts using our circuit tracing 37:02 technology. That's 37:06 amazing, huh? So anyway, go check that 37:09 out. It's at uh it's at uh 37:14 anthropic.comressearch. I would imagine 37:15 you can probably just get there by that. 37:18 Anthropic.comressearch. Hang on. 37:23 Yeah. Uh maybe not. Uh let's see. Our 37:33 mission research principles tracing the 37:36 thoughts. So here it is. So it's you 37:38 scroll down. Go to 37:41 enthropic.comressearch and scroll down 37:42 till you see the rustcoled box. Tracing 37:46 the thoughts of a large language model. 37:47 That'll take you back to that where I 37:49 just 37:51 was. Crazy. It's crazy, I tell you. 37:55 Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. All right. Um, 37:59 let's see. Did I do anything 38:05 in in chat GBT today? That was 38:08 interesting. Oh, that was an interesting 38:11 one. 38:13 Yeah. Um, this was kind of fun. So, I 38:18 took a screen sh Oh, wait. I got to I 38:20 got to change my sharing. Hang 38:25 [Music] 38:32 on. So, today I was on a uh conference 38:37 call. Can you all see that? Hey, Andy, 38:41 what's happening? Um, today I was on a 38:44 conference call. I took a screenshot of 38:46 some of the crazy people there and then 38:50 uploaded those pictures and said, "Make 38:51 me a cartoon." And one of the cool 38:54 things that it did was it took the names 38:58 off the screenshots and turned it into 39:01 like the names of the people. So there's 39:03 Cindy [ __ ] there's Rick Lacroy, who's 39:05 not really that angry. There's me with a 39:08 guitar. It picked the guitar up out of 39:09 my background, which is interesting. 39:20 Um, then I tried to add someone to it 39:22 and it sort of screwed that up. And then 39:24 I did something and it sort of screwed 39:26 that 39:27 up. But then I I said, you 39:31 know, here's more people. Have the 39:33 people with their cameras on, make fun 39:35 of the people with their cameras off. So 39:37 that sort of did it well. I said, make 39:39 it like a Pixar thing. So, it kind of 39:42 did a funny little 39:44 cartoon. Let's do image gen projects. 39:47 Yeah, we're going to sitting here with 39:49 my computer machine making stuff. Yeah. 39:52 So, so yeah, let's go play with this. 39:54 So, so upload a picture of yourself or 39:57 your friends. Oh, then I said this was 39:59 kind of cool. I said take Eric who I put 40:03 here based on a screenshot here. Let's 40:06 see. Where's 40:07 Eric? Right here in the top. Let me see. 40:10 Can I zoom in on 40:12 that? There's Eric. So that's that's the 40:14 only picture it had of Eric, 40:18 right? And then from 40:24 that it 40:26 made this version of 40:29 Eric right 40:37 here. And then I said, 40:45 um, create a dramatic art photo of Eric 40:48 where the photographer used lighting and 40:51 a low millimeter lens and open aperture 40:53 to capture a personality that is 40:56 thoughtful and generous. Make it a 2x3 40:58 portrait. And so it made this 41:00 photograph. It sort of invented this 41:03 guy. And then I said, make it black and 41:06 white. And it did. 41:08 And then I said, "Make it grittier." 41:10 Made it really 41:13 gritty. So, it's pretty 41:16 crazy. Um, what else do we do 41:22 today? The studio Gibbly thing. Oh, 41:25 yeah. This was pretty cool. So, this was 41:29 I wanted to do I wanted to do take my my 41:33 stupid 41:35 uh profile photo and turn that into a 41:38 character. It made me too fat. So, I 41:39 said, "Make me skinnier because I'm 41:43 vain." And then I said, "Make me a 41:45 Macintosh computer, the original 41:48 Macintosh, and convert my portrait into 41:50 Mac Paint, the original version of Mac 41:53 Paint." And it did it quite well. So, 41:55 that's a good 41:57 one. Um, I did some I did a New Yorker 42:00 cartoon today. I had it write New Yorker 42:03 cartoons. It came up with 10 different 42:05 cartoon 42:06 concepts and then it created this this 42:09 one that is a bunch of goats sitting 42:12 around a boardroom and the the quote is, 42:15 "Let's circle back after we've eaten the 42:20 agenda." That's pretty good. That's 42:22 pretty good New Yorker humor. Come on. 42:24 [Laughter] 42:29 Oh man. Um, one thing that I did notice, 42:32 let's go to Sin City Sipper. I don't 42:35 think this has changed, but let's say 42:37 make me a margarita with unexpected 42:41 sass. 42:49 And now it's making an image, but it is 42:51 not 42:53 using the new image gen tool. So your um 42:57 custom GPTs have shitty old dolly in 43:02 them. You know, it's still pretty good. 43:05 Not for nothing, 43:08 but but it's not the new image model. So 43:11 that I 43:12 learned. 43:15 Um, last night we were playing 43:22 with turtle meme character ideas. Was 43:25 this 43:27 it? 43:28 Yeah. So, last night we created the the 43:33 Irregular Turtle 43:39 Society and we were taking pictures of 43:42 people and making versions of them. And 43:44 then people went to the AI salon, 43:47 started making their own pictures of 43:50 themselves. So, there's Silver Fox with 43:53 a chrome shell, which I love. I think 43:55 it's genius. S Fox, the founder of 43:59 Shellington, Silverf Fox, 44:01 congratulation. I didn't realize you 44:02 were the founder of the town. That's 44:07 funny. Oh, you got that same drink pick 44:10 about three months ago. Oh, that's 44:12 funny. Um, here's Sharon 44:15 Crawford. Very nice. So, everyone's 44:18 making their own little Oh, that's nice. 44:20 Who's that from? Steo. I can't make it 44:23 tonight lunch date with this one. Oh, 44:25 that's the one he uses to tap all the 44:27 hearts on the Tik Tok. Very 44:29 nice. Marlene 44:31 Paul, love it. Oh, that one's cool from 44:36 W. Very 44:39 formal. Ocean. 44:43 Nice. Corin Mueller. Do we all represent 44:47 ourselves with turtles? 44:50 Apparently, you are in Shellington, but 44:53 in Shellington. Now, Dr. Jay decided to 44:56 go with the the Blue Jay, and I think 44:58 Cindy [ __ ] would obviously go with the 45:01 raccoon. Um, there's Vicki. Vicki went 45:04 ahead and made a collectible that you 45:07 can you can buy at Toys R Us. 45:15 Oh my 45:17 god, 45:18 there's 45:23 Greg. Oh, good lord. Oh, this is a good 45:26 one from 45:27 Jackie. Still 45:29 working. Still work shopping my 45:31 Shellington peron persona, but I had a 45:33 bit of issue in the 45:35 [Laughter] 45:38 lab. So anyway, so that's kind of fun. 45:44 Um, I think what might be kind of cool 45:47 tonight, we'll we'll come back to the 45:48 Shellington stuff, but I wanna I want to 45:51 try something new. 45:57 Um, let's turn on web search and let's 46:00 say 46:05 um research 46:11 um 46:14 papers and 46:17 books on 46:21 modern narrative theory. 46:25 and what 46:27 resonates with today's 46:33 um 46:37 audiences. So, I'm going to have it go 46:39 do some research. Now, you could do this 46:40 with some deep research, but one of the 46:43 groups that I'm working with were 46:44 playing around with deep research, and 46:46 Cindy [ __ ] kind of inspired this 46:49 today where Cindy went and did a bunch 46:51 of research and then she's she's digging 46:53 deeper and 46:54 and doing research from different points 46:58 of view and using personas and things 47:01 like that. And one of the things that we 47:03 talked about was 47:06 um could you take research and bring it 47:10 to life 47:12 uh using the image generation tool? We 47:14 might be able to do that. So there's 47:16 some books and things. So now I'm going 47:17 to say 47:21 um what 47:23 are the 47:30 main narrative ideas 47:34 across these 47:38 works. Searching the 47:42 web. Oh, she's here. Cindy [ __ ] is here. 47:46 So, I figured I'm going to try to do 47:47 some some crazy ass image generation 47:50 like like like bringing research to 47:52 life, but I I don't want to do deep 47:54 research. I'm just going to do like, you 47:56 know, sort of faker deep research. All 47:59 right. So, there's that. So, I'm going 48:00 to say um now look at these ideas from 48:07 four 48:08 [Music] 48:10 different points of view. 48:16 um 48:18 each from a different 48:21 decade. I'm just I'm just kind of 48:24 randomly trying to put enough context in 48:28 here that we've got something to work 48:30 with. So, I don't really care what the 48:31 answer is here. If you were doing actual 48:34 research, you 48:39 might would you like me to explore how 48:41 these perspectives might apply to a 48:44 particular format? 48:49 Um, I 48:51 want 48:53 strong POV pieces from each of 48:58 them about the 49:01 research you have 49:10 found. All 49:13 right. 49:22 Uh, now I 49:25 want 49:27 a new 49:32 novel 49:35 hypothesis 49:39 that 49:42 incorporates everything we've talked 49:54 about 49:56 that could 50:02 reolutionize 50:05 narrative in the future. All 50:09 right. Absolutely. Here's a novel 50:12 hypothesis. the narrative as emerging 50:14 emotional architecture and multi- aent 50:16 space. You know, Cindy, it's funny. I 50:19 think you and I the other day, we've 50:21 we've been talking about narrative as an 50:23 emerging emotional architectural in a 50:26 multi- aent space. We talk about that a 50:28 lot. Like it's a fairly obvious I don't 50:30 know how novel that is. Seems pretty 50:32 obvious to 50:33 me. Narrative as a collab collaborative 50:36 ecosystem, emotion as an organizing 50:38 principle. Okay, so it's got some points 50:40 example. All right. Whatever. So, we got 50:43 that there. So, now we're gonna go 50:46 um 50:49 uh now I want you to 50:56 um play 50:58 out the 51:02 transer mason to this 51:06 new narrative reality. and write a 51:12 report 51:14 on the 51:17 impact of the current 51:21 media 51:25 ecosystem. All right, that's kind of 51:28 cool. So, like let's pretend this was 51:30 actual all real real research, right? 51:33 This is the kind of thing where you 51:35 might go look at some [ __ ] then you 51:37 might look at it through some different 51:38 lenses, then you might come up with new 51:41 ideas. Then if you're a future caster 51:43 like Cindy 51:46 [ __ ] you might say, "Well, what's this 51:49 going to do to the 51:51 world?" So, let's see what did it 51:55 do. Executive summary. Between 2025 and 51:59 2032, the global media ecosystem 52:02 underwent a profound shift from static 52:05 author ccentric content to participatory 52:08 emotionally responsive narrative 52:10 systems. This transition sparked by 52:13 advancements in AI, biometric feedback 52:15 and immers and immersive environments 52:18 has catalyzed a new narrative paradigm 52:20 from content to 52:24 experience. New formats and fluid story 52:27 worlds. The death of the singular 52:31 author. The author is a conductor, not a 52:34 god. 52:36 The 2032 Emmywinning story story world 52:42 ashfall has over two million 52:44 acknowledged co-authors. This is kind of 52:46 cool. Okay, 52:49 great. Now, I want 52:52 [Music] 52:54 you to give 52:57 me three concepts for how we 53:02 might visualize 53:10 The new world of 53:16 narrative that 53:21 includes the 53:24 impact on 53:26 current 53:28 media into a 53:31 single infographic. 53:37 that will 53:38 make 53:40 it 53:43 instantly 53:46 understandable and bring the 53:49 research to 53:51 life. 53:53 Okay, so let's see. Okay, the story 53:57 wheel from broadcast to biometrics. I 54:00 don't like it as a wheel because I don't 54:01 think this is going to be linear. 54:03 A radial infographic showing the 54:05 evolution of narrative as a timeline, 54:07 but instead of progressing linearly, it 54:10 radiates outward from a central point. 54:13 Narrative 1.0 linear broadcast toward 54:16 the new emergent narrative 4.0. Okay, 54:19 that's not bad. So, it's not in a cycle. 54:22 It's radiating 54:24 out visual structure. The center is the 54:27 20th century linear 54:29 narrative. Maybe we do all of these. 54:32 We'll we'll we'll see which one we like. 54:35 The living narrative web, an artwork 54:37 visualization like a neural map that 54:39 shows how different media nodes are now 54:44 interconnected. And then the narrative 54:46 machine, how a story is made. 54:49 Now, this is kind of cool. All right. 54:56 Um why 54:59 don't Oops. 55:05 Why 55:07 don't 55:08 [Music] 55:10 you take a stab at number one? 55:25 [Music] 55:31 Is this making sense? Am I Am I 55:35 totally off my rocker? Is this making 55:41 sense? I'm here slow to find the chat. 55:51 day. So, one of the things Cindy was 55:54 saying today, which I thought was really 55:55 or no, it was actually M Turner, but 55:58 then Cindy commented on it. M. Turner 56:00 was talking about 56:04 um you do all this research and a lot of 56:08 times it doesn't have an impact because 56:11 people can't 56:13 instantly get it. 56:20 And like and like could this 56:23 new visualization tool be a way to take 56:27 research and and turn it into things 56:29 that people get 56:36 easier. Co-authorship spatial 56:40 worlds narrative 4.0 know linear 56:43 co-creation, co-authorship, spatial 56:46 worlds, dynamic cannon, AI agents, 56:49 emotional intelligence. So that I don't 56:50 quite get. So I'm going to say I think 56:54 it is flat and 56:58 boring and lacks clarity. 57:03 Wait. Flat and boring and boring and 57:08 lacks 57:12 clarity of 57:14 the 57:19 evolution. Make it have 57:22 a dark 57:25 background and a much 57:28 more 57:31 sophisticated color. 57:36 pallet and info 57:43 design. Don't be 57:48 lazy like me, you poopy head. 57:54 And again, it's always good to swear at 57:56 your large language 57:58 model and put them down and judge 58:02 [Laughter] 58:11 them. Oh, maybe convert it to a kids 58:14 book. Oh, that's pretty cool. Like that 58:19 idea. Nice thought process, chat. 58:24 Yeah. Well, that's 58:30 like like I kind of feel 58:36 like the the transition if if you think 58:39 about what Manis does where it goes off 58:42 and does these incredibly complicated 58:44 multi-step research things and then 58:46 writes a report and generates code and 58:49 does whatever it does and then comes 58:50 back and reports to you. 58:55 I feel like we at the center of these 59:00 workflows are going to increasingly have 59:03 to think about the chain of 59:05 events rather than just the here's a 59:09 prompt, here's an answer, and then 59:11 repeat, rinse and repeat that. Or we're 59:13 going to have to think like, oh, okay, 59:15 I'm going to go do research in these 59:17 three tools, then I'm going to take that 59:18 and I'm going to visualize stuff over 59:20 here. Then I'm going to take that and 59:22 I'm going to go over here and I'm going 59:23 to do 59:24 that. Actually, the the uh the idea that 59:28 this thing's putting out that the idea 59:30 of central authorship goes away 59:32 completely is actually kind of 59:36 fascinating. Emotional 59:38 co-creation. Yeah, th this is it's 59:41 really not good at this. So, we're say 59:44 um I'm going to go back up and one of 59:47 the things I noticed is it doesn't seem 59:48 to remember the [ __ ] it wrote once it 59:50 makes an 59:52 image. So, let's go copy 59:57 this and 59:59 say I don't like 1:00:05 it. Let's try this one. 1:00:13 See how it 1:00:19 does. Now it's a dark background and 1:00:21 foreground. I know it it it didn't I was 1:00:24 not happy with that aesthetic at 1:00:28 all. Can you tell me a super cool Manis 1:00:32 use case? I'm obsessed, but I'm stuck in 1:00:34 business use cases. Um I Oh, we can go 1:00:39 look at it. And I had it um I I told 1:00:43 Manis I wanted it to 1:00:46 um go analyze the plot of Shaw Shank 1:00:50 Redemption and Snakes on a 1:00:52 Plane and come up with a new um 1:00:56 screenplay outline that combined the 1:00:58 best plot elements of both. And it came 1:01:01 up with some prisoners on a on a flight 1:01:04 that has plane that has snakes on it 1:01:07 kind of 1:01:11 concept. So I think you could do 1:01:13 creative stuff with it. 1:01:19 Um I don't know you Oh, you know what 1:01:21 could be fun, Ann? is is have it go find 1:01:26 um like what are stories that are being 1:01:29 told in other parts of the world that 1:01:31 aren't told in the US and like have it 1:01:34 be a 1:01:35 translator. The living narrative web. 1:01:38 Let's look at this. This looks kind of 1:01:40 interesting 1:01:43 actually. So there's an emotional 1:01:45 architecture in the middle. 1:01:52 There's books, films, collective 1:01:54 authorship, biometrics, AI, dynamic 1:01:58 story thread, Tik Tok. This actually is 1:02:01 is not this actually kind of a cool 1:02:03 idea. 1:02:09 like if if 1:02:13 you're so one of the things that's been 1:02:15 striking 1:02:18 me is that when I have when I have a 1:02:21 story idea that I shouldn't just be 1:02:25 thinking of a single output. I should be 1:02:28 thinking of multiple 1:02:30 outputs. Right? the book, the 1:02:33 screenplay, the stage play, the poem, 1:02:36 the song, the kids book, the the album, 1:02:40 right? Thi think like that. But I'm 1:02:43 still very much thinking in single 1:02:46 authorship 1:02:48 mentality. What this is saying is you 1:02:51 take that same 1:02:57 basic story 1:03:01 intention and you throw it into a 1:03:03 framework, an emotional architecture 1:03:07 that you 1:03:09 design and then other people can 1:03:12 participate. Let me show you an example 1:03:14 of it. Actually, this is kind of cool. 1:03:16 Okay, I'm gonna hop over to midjourney 1:03:18 for a 1:03:27 second and I'm going to go down. Well, 1:03:30 you can kind of see it here. You see all 1:03:32 those images have a sameness to them, 1:03:34 but I'm going to go 1:03:39 find. So, we can actually play with this 1:03:41 right now. 1:03:46 So see all these 1:03:51 images. These are all 1:03:56 images that I was just playing around 1:03:59 with 1:04:01 creating that use the mood board. That 1:04:05 is the official brand mood board for the 1:04:08 AI salon. 1:04:10 So, what I can do is I can copy this 1:04:14 mood board and I'm going to pop it into 1:04:21 um I'm going to pop it into YouTube and 1:04:24 then I'm going to put it up on screen 1:04:26 here. Wait, why did 1:04:28 that There we go. I'm going to pop it up 1:04:31 on screen here. So you see that 1:04:34 profile where 1:04:37 it's 1:04:39 S3 P as in Paul YM 2F as in Frank. I'll 1:04:44 also put this profile over at the AI 1:04:48 salon in the irregulars channel. All 1:04:50 right. So I'm going to say um go make 1:04:55 some 1:04:57 midjourney 1:04:59 images about 1:05:03 Uh, let's see. 1:05:06 Phrases that are in your 1:05:10 head right now 1:05:13 about generative AI. The state about the 1:05:17 state of generative AI about the 1:05:21 state of generative AI. This is really 1:05:25 cool actually. 1:05:29 Um, here is the 1:05:33 official AI salon mood 1:05:41 board. And then I'm going to 1:05:44 put 1:05:45 note use style weight 1:05:51 of 50 to 1,000. 1:05:56 If you use a style weight of zero, it 1:05:58 won't give you anything. And I'm going 1:06:00 to show you how we do this in a second 1:06:02 here. But oh, let me let me put an 1:06:04 example in here. Let me go grab one of 1:06:06 these midjourney images. That's a cool 1:06:09 one. Curiosity. So, I'm going to 1:06:11 download that and I'm going to throw it 1:06:13 up 1:06:14 in 1:06:17 here. Wait, there was a problem. Oh, of 1:06:20 course it was too big. Of course it was. 1:06:22 Of course it was. Of course it 1:06:26 was. You're [ __ ] kidding me, 1:06:31 right? 1:06:38 Seriously, 1:06:48 I Why is he doing that? That's very 1:06:50 disturbing. Why does he make that sound? 1:06:53 Oh, you see Kyle, he's got he's got he's 1:06:58 a Gen Xer. See, they're a little angry. 1:07:02 Why? Why is it not letting me upload a 1:07:06 thing? You can't get there from 1:07:09 here. What the [ __ ] is going on here? 1:07:22 I have a feeling I've got some weird 1:07:24 [ __ ] with my 1:07:27 Wi-Fi. All right, there it is. Fine. 1:07:30 Whatever. Okay, so that post is there. 1:07:34 Okay, so you can go grab that profile if 1:07:37 and here's how you use it. 1:07:40 So, see up in 1:07:43 um in the little prompt box there in the 1:07:46 prompt hole. Isn't that what we call it? 1:07:48 The prompt 1:07:51 hole. You put in a prompt like if if uh 1:07:54 like like I feel like 1:07:57 um 1:07:58 Rubicon. We've crossed a 1:08:01 Rubicon. I don't know what that means, 1:08:02 but we've crossed a Rubicon. So, I'm 1:08:04 going to just put the word Rubicon. And 1:08:07 then I'm going to go pick my style 1:08:09 waiting. It's at 50 right now. And I'm 1:08:10 at 16 by9 aspect ratio. That's fine. And 1:08:14 then I'm going to do 1:08:17 d-r space 4. And that's going to make 1:08:20 four sets of four. So I'm just going to 1:08:22 say go. And so this is now going to go 1:08:25 generate a bunch of images. So here's 1:08:27 here's why I'm showing you this. Going 1:08:30 back to this idea of this 1:08:34 um the future of narrative, I I know we 1:08:37 were just trying to visualize kind of a 1:08:39 a silly idea, but like this actually 1:08:41 came up with an idea that I'm really 1:08:44 excited about right 1:08:45 now that as 1:08:52 authors, our job is essentially going to 1:08:55 be to create the world, the emotional 1:08:59 arch 1:09:01 architecture that we can 1:09:04 cocreate stories within with our 1:09:08 audience. In a lot of ways, that's what 1:09:10 this channel is, right? Cindy [ __ ] was 1:09:12 the one that pointed it out to me. She 1:09:14 goes, "Kyle, this channel isn't about 1:09:16 you. It's about the collaboration that 1:09:19 happens while the show is going on. 1:09:21 Like, it it really doesn't matter what 1:09:24 you say." Now, I know she didn't mean to 1:09:26 hurt me, but but I cry myself to sleep 1:09:29 every night. Nobody left 1:09:32 me. I don't I but I think it's a I think 1:09:35 it's a really good a really good point. 1:09:39 And and the the shared branded mood 1:09:44 board for AI Salon means that all of us 1:09:49 can collaborate. You all can go make 1:09:51 your own images, but you can, if you 1:09:54 want to, you can come into the AI salon 1:09:56 and go, "Here, I made some really cool 1:09:58 images and here's the words and here's 1:10:00 the ones I think are cool and 1:10:02 why, right? 1:10:18 See, these all have kind of a brandness 1:10:20 about them. And you can all be making 1:10:23 your own your 1:10:26 own fully realized 1:10:29 self-expressions that are curated 1:10:31 through the lens of this brand look and 1:10:33 feel. And so imagine not just having a 1:10:37 midjourney mood board, but you've got an 1:10:40 animation style over in this animation 1:10:42 program. And you've got a a kind of 1:10:44 music over here. And you've got kinds of 1:10:48 storylines and kinds of comedic 1:10:52 situations and kinds of dramatic 1:10:54 situations. And I, as the author, am 1:10:56 creating that world that we all get to 1:10:59 play 1:11:01 in. That's what this thing is saying. I 1:11:03 didn't get that. I because I wasn't 1:11:05 talking to you, Siri. I think that was 1:11:07 clear. I think we've established that 1:11:08 about two years 1:11:10 ago. And by the way, Siri, you haven't 1:11:13 gotten any 1:11:15 better. Like, everyone else is changing 1:11:18 the world. And Apple's like, you know, 1:11:20 you can talk to it, right? You just what 1:11:23 you do is you go, "Hey, Siri." And then 1:11:26 Siri will pop up and you talk to it. And 1:11:29 then what she'll do is give you a really 1:11:31 disappointing response or just say she 1:11:34 doesn't understand. And that's the 1:11:36 intelligent part that sometimes she can 1:11:39 answer it and many times she's smart 1:11:41 enough to know that she isn't smart 1:11:44 enough. That's kind of the genius. 1:11:46 That's we call it Apple intelligence 1:11:49 because it's smarter than what your 1:11:52 expectations are. You see you see how we 1:11:54 work in a circle. We circle it back 1:11:57 around to the starting point, right? You 1:12:01 thought there was a destination and 1:12:02 you're like, "Wait, how am I back here?" 1:12:05 That's the genius of 1:12:11 Siri. I mean, I used to be an Apple 1:12:14 fanboy. Like, like I I would go to 1:12:16 battle for them. It's so [ __ ] sad. 1:12:19 All right, let's let's have ChatGpt make 1:12:22 us a new a new drawing here. 1:12:29 [Music] 1:12:32 All right. Uh, let's go grab the third 1:12:36 concept. The narrative machine. How 1:12:39 stories are made. This was the one that 1:12:42 seemed most interesting to 1:12:44 me. Um, I like 1:12:48 that. Let's try this. 1:12:52 You know, I'm almost feeling Cindy, if 1:12:54 you're still here, like the the the 1:12:56 value of these isn't even so much is it 1:13:00 going to generate 1:13:02 an a visualization that is usable 1:13:05 wholesale, although at some point it 1:13:08 might, but it's almost more like, oh 1:13:11 yeah, that's kind of the right, you 1:13:12 know, instead of bar charts, it's a 1:13:14 spider graph, and instead of, you know, 1:13:16 linear, it's radial. And that those kind 1:13:18 of ideas are actually kind of 1:13:19 interesting. Did Kyle's screen blur? Oh, 1:13:22 it blurred just because I moved the 1:13:23 camera too close. Sorry about 1:13:28 that. Lol. So, we're out of focus now. 1:13:32 Shut 1:13:36 up. You're so funny. I could loop that 1:13:39 and laugh for a while. I don't know what 1:13:40 I said. Where can I find the emot 1:13:43 emotional architecture image? I will go 1:13:47 um put it into Let me do save image as. 1:13:49 I'll go throw it into 1:13:51 uh 1:13:53 emotional 1:13:55 architecture. I mean, it's it's a very 1:13:57 incomplete uh infographic, but 1:14:00 conceptually, if it like reminds you of 1:14:02 something, I'll go throw it in a 1:14:03 regulars right 1:14:04 now. Um here's the 1:14:09 emotional 1:14:12 architecture and then I'll say future of 1:14:15 storytelling. 1:14:21 um motion architecture future of 1:14:23 storytelling 1:14:25 diagram from the live 1:14:28 tonight and then I will go bang and then 1:14:31 I will throw 1:14:34 this where did I put that here 1:14:39 no where did I see screen where where 1:14:44 did I save it where I save 1:14:52 Hang on. Was it in 1:14:55 downloads? No. 1:14:58 No. What? What? Why is it not Why is my 1:15:02 life so 1:15:06 hard? Oh, file wasn't available on the 1:15:09 site. Okay, fine. That's why it wasn't 1:15:12 my 1:15:13 fault. Shut up. 1:15:20 It's It's still not there. The [ __ ] All 1:15:23 right, we'll go screenshot 1:15:28 it. Oh, it's not there. Well, it's here. 1:15:32 So, we're going to go grab it. 1:15:46 Dtop. Bang. 1:15:50 Screenshot. There we go. We'll come back 1:15:53 here. We'll look up 1:15:56 screenshot because I have two different 1:15:58 desktop folders on this machine and I 1:16:00 don't know 1:16:01 how to get I don't know how to 1:16:04 consolidate them because I'm a loser, 1:16:07 baby. 1:16:12 Okay. So, there you go. The emotional 1:16:14 intelligence or the emotional 1:16:16 architecture or narrative architecture, 1:16:19 but I think it is. It's emotional 1:16:20 architecture. Well, that's going to make 1:16:23 people think it's [ __ ] 1:16:26 psychology. Maybe it's the emotional 1:16:29 world. It's 1:16:32 the I don't know. This is something 1:16:36 worth the living narrative web. 1:16:41 As an author, you design a world that 1:16:44 your fans and readers and watchers and 1:16:50 listeners generate within. And then, you 1:16:53 know what's so funny? It's just it is 1:16:55 it's just like this channel. We come 1:16:58 here five nights a week. We're doing 1:17:01 [ __ ] on our own. I'll occasionally say, 1:17:03 "Go do a thing over here." We kind of 1:17:06 travel over. we collaborate on 1:17:08 something. Some people go off and take 1:17:10 that and really run with it. Other 1:17:11 people like, "Yeah, that was boring. 1:17:14 Whatever." But this is like that on 1:17:17 steroids. This is like 1:17:20 saying we're going to have all these 1:17:22 different outputs and I as the 1:17:26 aur going to create the framework that 1:17:28 all of us can play inside and anything 1:17:32 that's generated in there is going to 1:17:34 have 1:17:35 a AI learning lab an irregularness about 1:17:39 it in this case 1:17:41 right but imagine Wes Anderson making a 1:17:45 world like this is so [ __ ] 1:17:47 Cool. Because this is so if you think of 1:17:50 Wes Anderson films right now, Wes 1:17:52 Anderson as the single 1:17:54 author makes his films like he makes his 1:17:57 films. But we can right 1:18:00 now just go into chat GPT and say I want 1:18:05 um let's see, let's upload something 1:18:07 here. 1:18:12 um 1:18:15 desktop. Uh uh uh uh 1:18:19 uh. All right, that's that's good. So, 1:18:22 let's open that up. So, we got this 1:18:24 crazy ass car. say, um, I want you to 1:18:30 re-imagine this car in a 1:18:34 Wes Anderson 1:18:37 film 1:18:39 where it is 1:18:43 parked near the 1:18:46 yachts of 1:18:53 Monaco during the 1:18:59 1965 Grand 1:19:04 Prix. All 1:19:07 right, this is this is where we're going 1:19:10 to get Okay. 1:19:12 Okay. For all the AI haters out there, 1:19:15 no, sorry, I'm not chatting with anyone 1:19:17 right now. Um, for all the AI haters out 1:19:20 there that are going, "Ah, this is 1:19:22 intellectual property theft, all that 1:19:25 [ __ ] Not not that it's [ __ ] 1:19:27 Intellectual property shift stuff is not 1:19:30 bullshit." But all of the tropes about 1:19:33 people saying AI is evil because of 1:19:35 that. I wasn't able to generate that. 1:19:37 Oh, because it resists our Oh. Uh, so 1:19:40 can you 1:19:42 describe what it might look like? 1:19:55 Uh, make that 1:20:07 [Music] 1:20:09 image. It's now a visual assistant, too, 1:20:12 that we just have to tweak. I'm here. 1:20:14 Okay. So, we're going to do this thing. 1:20:17 Okay. So, so this is going to make an 1:20:21 image. Oh, come on. Um, let's see. Don't 1:20:25 use his 1:20:27 name. Just make the image based on the 1:20:32 style you 1:20:36 described. You're smart. 1:20:41 make 1:20:42 the 1:20:44 image 1:20:46 and don't get 1:20:54 sued. This is why I have a Wes Anderson 1:20:57 mood board in midJourney. Oh yeah, this 1:20:59 exact nightmare, right? Um, okay. 1:21:02 So, so right now Twitter is nothing but 1:21:06 Studio Gibbli images, right? And Studio 1:21:09 Gibbli is 1:21:11 notoriously copyright frenzied. I still 1:21:15 wasn't able. Come 1:21:22 on. Yes. Adjust the 1:21:27 prompt. Yeah, good idea. Not that I 1:21:30 described it three prompts ago, but but 1:21:33 go ahead. 1:21:38 Yes. Yes. And don't forget to include 1:21:44 the car I 1:21:49 uploaded. So, right 1:21:52 now, however it gets done, someone wants 1:21:54 something that looks like Wes Anderson. 1:21:57 They use his name. They generate an 1:21:59 image. He looks at that. He's like, "God 1:22:01 damn it, they're stealing my shit." 1:22:03 Studio Gibbli looks at all of Twitter 1:22:04 and it's like, "God damn it, they're 1:22:06 stealing my shit." All of the art haters 1:22:08 look at this stuff. Oh my god, this is 1:22:11 this is [ __ ] painful. All right, we 1:22:14 had two good days. We had two good days 1:22:17 with um um let's just make it a light 1:22:25 color 1:22:28 palette with 1:22:31 pastel 1:22:33 colors, 1:22:35 [Laughter] 1:22:40 please. I'm trying to make my point 1:22:43 here. And Sam Alman put his little 1:22:45 [ __ ] safety guard rails back up so he 1:22:47 can't [ __ ] use the [ __ ] thing 1:22:51 anymore. 1:22:53 Um, imagine now if Wes Anderson makes it 1:22:57 makes this transition. Wes Anderson 1:22:59 realizes Okay, I'm I'm [ __ ] done with 1:23:02 this. 1:23:05 Um, upload 1:23:07 [Music] 1:23:21 I don't know where that picture was 1:23:23 anymore. That's our 1:23:26 [Music] 1:23:29 bug. I kind of want that picture 1:23:33 of the the thing. God damn it. 1:23:37 I'm I'm cranky. This is [ __ ] 1:23:42 shitty. 1:23:43 [Music] 1:23:44 Um, save image 1:23:49 as Let me try a new thing. 1:23:52 Um, upload. 1:24:00 Reimagine this 1:24:02 car sitting next to the 1:24:09 yachts with 1:24:14 uh sitting next to the 1:24:15 yachts 1:24:18 in Monaco. I'll get back to the point in 1:24:21 a second. in 1:24:23 1965 at the Grand 1:24:27 Prix. 1:24:29 Um, the colors should be muted 1:24:34 with pinks and orange 1:24:39 hues, 1:24:41 making 1:24:43 making it all a bit 1:24:48 surreal. The fashion 1:24:53 should feel 1:24:56 um 1:25:01 familiar yet off. Okay, that should make 1:25:07 us an 1:25:09 image. Let's see. We didn't say we're in 1:25:12 a new chat. We didn't say the word Wes 1:25:16 Anderson. Yeah, this really seems like a 1:25:19 pro workflow. You wouldn't get your head 1:25:20 bitten, chewed off, and swallowed in for 1:25:23 trying in a studio. Yeah. Okay. So, 1:25:25 here's the thing. So, now imagine Wes 1:25:28 Anderson gets religion around this AI 1:25:31 thing and 1:25:35 realizes the 1:25:39 solo is going to be a thing of the past 1:25:43 because everyone can now make anything. 1:25:49 But 1:25:52 people people are 1:25:55 lazy. People like to be directed. They 1:25:58 like to be told what to do. They like to 1:26:01 be part of a 1:26:03 tribe. So now imagine Wes Anderson 1:26:06 saying, "I'm going to create a 1:26:08 co-creative world that within it you can 1:26:13 buy things, you can sell things, you can 1:26:15 make things. 1:26:18 I'm going to create a universe that you 1:26:22 can create video games 1:26:25 inside and you can have your own 1:26:27 creative expression just like the the AI 1:26:30 salon mood 1:26:32 board. You're going to make anything you 1:26:35 want within this, but it's going to 1:26:36 follow these certain 1:26:38 constraints, which isn't a bad 1:26:41 thing. And then it creates this 1:26:44 infinitely complex 1:26:47 world where there might be millions of 1:26:50 co-creators. And within that, some of 1:26:53 those 1:26:54 stories are going to take off and become 1:26:57 hits. Wes Anderson is going to get 1:27:00 compensated for anything created in this 1:27:02 world and is going to get a cut of any 1:27:05 of the transactions that happen in this 1:27:07 world. But also within this world, there 1:27:10 are going to be filmmakers and game 1:27:12 producers and image generators and 3D 1:27:15 printers that print little Wes Anderson 1:27:19 world kind of 1:27:21 things that are going to get compensated 1:27:24 for that. That you're going to be able 1:27:25 to make a 1:27:28 living within a world that someone like 1:27:31 Wes Anderson creates. 1:27:34 There's going to be entire economies 1:27:36 existing inside what are they called? 1:27:38 Emotional 1:27:40 architectures. This is [ __ ] 1:27:45 cool, right? So that's not quite Wes 1:27:47 Anderson, but still like imagine, you 1:27:51 know, that was the aesthetic. So anytime 1:27:53 you made a car, it was kind of in this 1:27:56 neighborhood. Whenever you created 1:27:58 characters, they kind of were dressed 1:28:00 like this. 1:28:07 Right. Isn't that cool? I think that's 1:28:10 [ __ ] cool. My ear 1:28:13 [Laughter] 1:28:16 itches. That was really annoying that it 1:28:18 would just would not make that image. 1:28:20 Really 1:28:23 annoying. Good 1:28:26 lord. What made your studio? Hang on. 1:28:29 Let's see. What 1:28:32 major 1:28:35 corporation is Wes 1:28:38 Anderson associated 1:28:40 [Laughter] 1:28:46 with product? No, no, no. 1:28:49 Um, let's 1:28:51 see. No. who 1:28:55 distributes his 1:28:58 movies like 1:29:00 is it Disney or Paramount 1:29:10 etc. Bottle Rocket 1:29:13 Rushmore Disney Fox Search 1:29:20 Light. It's noteworthy that with 1:29:22 Disney's acquisition of 20th Century 1:29:24 Fox, films previously defi dist 1:29:27 distributed under Fox labels are now 1:29:30 part of Disney. Okay, so here's the 1:29:33 logic. Here's the logic that that Open 1:29:36 AI put into their image generation tool. 1:29:41 If 1:29:42 image is tied to Disney, do not make 1:29:48 it because did Disney is a 1:29:52 notorious lawsuit 1:29:57 machine. Oh, [ __ ] All right. 1:30:00 Wasn't aimed at you, but 1:30:03 more the obstacles that are the default 1:30:06 safeguards. Oh, yeah. No, I get that. 1:30:09 um still going to be demand for someone 1:30:11 who shows up with a functionally 1:30:15 functional proprietary workflow. Oh, I 1:30:17 agree. I listen what what I'm talking 1:30:19 about 1:30:21 is right now there's not 1:30:25 infrastructure for Wes Anderson to do 1:30:27 that. if he wanted to do that or if I 1:30:29 wanted to do that. 1:30:31 Right. The the only thing that I've done 1:30:34 that is remotely in this neighborhood is 1:30:36 this new 1:30:39 um mood board for the AI 1:30:41 salon that you can create images for the 1:30:44 AI salon. But like now I'm thinking like 1:30:46 what is the equivalent of that for for 1:30:50 music and for I don't know other [ __ ] 1:30:53 like like I 1:30:58 right now it's all ad 1:31:02 hoc. This is a this is a 1:31:06 major major opportunity. 1:31:10 It's a major opportunity to create an 1:31:13 infrastructure where an author can go in 1:31:16 and set the emotional boundaries of a 1:31:19 world of a creative of a co-creation 1:31:26 space that everyone gets to participate 1:31:29 in. 1:31:35 the person that generates the world gets 1:31:37 compensated for that activity and then 1:31:39 the people within that world can benefit 1:31:42 from it either through you know access 1:31:45 to content for free like like it could 1:31:48 be a kind of thing you come into that 1:31:50 Wes Anderson world or let's just call it 1:31:52 the AI salon world you come into the AI 1:31:54 salon world you can make [ __ ] you can 1:31:56 sell [ __ ] um if you just want to come in 1:32:00 and consume stuff you pay for that if 1:32:03 you want to come in and contribute ute 1:32:05 stuff then you don't have to pay for 1:32:07 that. You get access to content because 1:32:09 now you're a 1:32:10 contributor. And then if you contribute 1:32:12 something that starts to make money over 1:32:14 a certain threshold, you get that or you 1:32:18 know some piece of that and then the the 1:32:20 entity gets the 1:32:23 whole and this is the kind of thing you 1:32:29 know all anyone's talking about right 1:32:31 now is the AI is going to take our jobs. 1:32:34 The AI is going to take our jobs. The 1:32:37 movie industry is dead. The music 1:32:39 industry is dead. Well, what if it's 1:32:42 just changing? What if our 1:32:45 jobs are participating in 1:32:50 these 1:32:54 ecosystems and you could be someone that 1:32:57 just lives in Wes Anderson world or you 1:32:59 could be someone that bounces around 1:33:00 between 20 of them and your specialty 1:33:04 is rave music in virtual stages and you 1:33:09 go to all these different worlds and you 1:33:11 you create raves within the different 1:33:13 worlds and you get really good at that 1:33:15 and you get known for that or someone 1:33:18 else is just in this one world and 1:33:20 they're kind of the master of all of 1:33:22 this world. That's [ __ ] cool. 1:33:31 [Music] 1:33:37 [Music] 1:33:42 All 1:33:42 right, that was a 1:33:45 rant, but that's pretty 1:33:48 cool. All 1:33:50 right. Yeah, the Wes Anderson 1:33:53 metaverse massively disruptive to design 1:33:56 of all types. Well, but it's, you know, 1:33:59 it's funny is it's a metaverse, but but 1:34:01 it's not just a metaverse, right? It's 1:34:08 a it's a cocreation 1:34:12 universe because if everything's going 1:34:14 to be 1:34:18 hyperpersonalized, then no one get gets 1:34:20 compensated anywhere, right? If if I can 1:34:23 just say I want a movie that's like 1:34:25 snakes on a plane, but instead of 1:34:26 snakes, it's rabid bunnies, and instead 1:34:29 of Samuel L. Jackson, it's it's William 1:34:33 Defoe. And that starts playing for me. 1:34:35 Yeah, you could, you know, find 1:34:41 individual copyright holders that are 1:34:44 drawing and figure out a percentage. Or 1:34:47 you could just say, "No, let's put that 1:34:50 movie 1:34:51 creation thing inside of a world that is 1:34:54 an economy. 1:34:56 It's an ecosystem of storytelling and of 1:34:59 entertainment and and 1:35:02 business. I think there's something 1:35:06 there. I think there's something now 1:35:11 people. I'll tell you 1:35:14 what. 1:35:15 Thoughts, questions? Am I full of [ __ ] 1:35:18 Is this Is this making any sense? 1:35:34 Everyone's 1:35:42 asleep. All right, I took him out. I 1:35:46 took him out. 1:35:50 Let's go see if anyone 1:35:51 [Music] 1:35:57 uh if anyone made anything over here in 1:36:03 AI. Look at that future of AI from 1:36:06 Valerie Cox. That's beautiful. And look, 1:36:08 it's it's it's like it's got an AI 1:36:11 saloness about it, right? This is the 1:36:13 idea. 1:36:17 a developing ecosystems. We're making 1:36:19 pics. Oh, that's that's true. I told 1:36:21 everyone to go make pics. You're off 1:36:22 making 1:36:23 pics. Just listening to me ramble in the 1:36:31 background. Ah, Cindy [ __ ] A salon. 1:36:38 Nice. Oh, man. 1:36:47 Very 1:36:48 cool. I like that. That's nice. It's 1:36:54 nice. Oh, lordy lordy lordy lordy 1:37:04 lordy. Who wants to talk about 1:37:07 anything? Bedtime story with Kyle. I 1:37:10 know. 1:37:15 people making pics. That's very 1:37:19 cool. So, it's like a write a novel, 1:37:23 invite people into that world. Yeah, 1:37:25 Kak, it's it like it's it's exactly 1:37:28 that. It's like so right right now in 1:37:32 today's 1:37:35 media world, if you go back to the 1:37:37 before time, right? If you go back to 1:37:40 2022, the before 1:37:43 time when to write a novel, you actually 1:37:46 had to write a 1:37:49 novel. And it took you anywhere from 3 1:37:53 months to 30 years to write that 1:37:56 novel. And then you would get it written 1:37:58 and then you would try to get it 1:38:00 published and they would print it on 1:38:01 paper and they would stick it in a book. 1:38:04 And in the 2022s, they would stick it on 1:38:07 a 1:38:11 Kindle. And then in the after time, it 1:38:14 now becomes really easy to make a book. 1:38:17 And so, not only can you make a book, 1:38:18 you could make it a kids book with 1:38:20 illustrations and you could make it an 1:38:21 album and you could make it a this and 1:38:23 you could make it a that, but it's still 1:38:25 this idea of you're the author of that 1:38:30 book and all those individual 1:38:34 pieces. And the hypothesis that this 1:38:37 thing came up with tonight 1:38:42 is you think of that story and that's 1:38:46 just your story in that world in that 1:38:49 emotional 1:38:51 architecture. So you then we as authors 1:38:55 get to elevate ourselves up above the 1:38:58 the the tactical 1:39:01 outputs and just say what would this 1:39:04 world look like? What would it sound 1:39:06 like? Who would be the characters in it? 1:39:08 What would they be dressed like? What 1:39:10 era is it? What are the technologies 1:39:13 that are there? Right? So, just like you 1:39:15 would if you were writing a book, you're 1:39:17 going to design the world of that 1:39:20 book or the framework of the thinking in 1:39:23 a business 1:39:26 book. And now we elevate ourselves above 1:39:29 that tactical output and just say, I'm 1:39:32 going to create this 1:39:34 dome that anyone that comes inside this 1:39:36 dome is free to create 1:39:39 anything, you know, that we have the 1:39:41 capacity to make within this domed 1:39:43 world. But it's all going to be within 1:39:45 that 1:39:50 world. And then the creators and 1:39:52 managers of the world get 1:39:55 paid. There's an economy that allows 1:39:58 creators to get 1:40:00 paid. There's a world in which you just 1:40:02 go in there and consume content, right? 1:40:04 You don't have to co-create. 1:40:08 You can just go listen to Beyonce's 1:40:10 music or anyone else of Beyonce's fans 1:40:14 that made music that sound like this 1:40:18 world. 1:40:20 Imagine John Mayer taking all of his 1:40:23 music and creating a sonic emotional 1:40:26 architecture where you could enter that 1:40:29 world and you could listen to all of his 1:40:30 music, but you could also take a 1:40:34 custom-designed a a customtrained 1:40:37 version of 1:40:39 Suno that was trained on John Mayer's 1:40:42 sound and you could go in there and you 1:40:44 could write your own songs and when you 1:40:46 use the tools to make the lyrics, 1:40:49 they'll have a John Marness about them. 1:40:52 And when you make songs, they'll sound 1:40:54 John 1:40:55 Marike. And some of those songs might be 1:40:57 so good that they become hits. And some 1:40:59 of them might be so good that they 1:41:01 become hits that John Mayer goes and 1:41:02 plays on 1:41:04 tour. And because this thing will be all 1:41:08 blockchain 1:41:09 tracked, we'll know who made what this 1:41:12 world, and they'll get compensated, and 1:41:15 so will John. 1:41:19 That's [ __ ] 1:41:21 cool. That's a way to end a [ __ ] 1:41:24 weekend or to end the 1:41:29 week. You know what I'm 1:41:36 saying? Jeff Flanigan, I had 4.0 remake 1:41:40 a very old snapshot of me and my mom as 1:41:42 a professional painting. It turned out 1:41:44 really good. That's very cool. 1:41:46 That's very 1:41:52 cool. You should get some research from 1:41:55 Gettysburg to feed GPT and have it 1:41:58 create photos of the battle. I created a 1:42:00 whole music video of uh 1:42:04 Gettysburg battle scenes that I brought 1:42:06 to life in video that all look like dger 1:42:09 types. It's pretty cool. 1:42:13 First and last frame interpolation will 1:42:15 be 1:42:16 huge. Yep, I agree with 1:42:21 that. It's just crazy. We're just such 1:42:24 in such [ __ ] wild times, man. 1:42:28 Anyway, I dig it. Chat GPT in this 1:42:33 modern narrative theory. Here's the 1:42:35 other thing that it came up with. 1:42:36 sensory 1:42:37 environments, personalization, emotional 1:42:41 story, archetype, 1:42:44 dialogue. So, you have a narrative 1:42:46 generator at the 1:42:48 center. Yeah, I could see I could see 1:42:51 creating a whole architecture where 1:42:52 you've got a narrative generator that 1:42:54 that develops voice and characters. You 1:42:57 could have look and feel. You could have 1:42:59 audio. Like, what do the sounds sound 1:43:02 like? Is it is it is there like birds 1:43:05 chirping and it's this really peaceful 1:43:08 place or is it like [ __ ] terrifying 1:43:10 and everything's like like imagine a GMO 1:43:13 del 1:43:15 Toro 1:43:18 world. You know what this is? This is 1:43:21 theme 1:43:23 parks that are 1:43:26 dynamic. So it's not just a metaverse. 1:43:29 There will be metaverse areas within 1:43:33 it. But this is a theme park 1:43:37 where the crowd at the theme park gets 1:43:40 to make new rides, gets to make new 1:43:42 stories, gets to make new storylines. 1:43:45 [ __ ] 1:43:46 insane. It's cool. All right, that's 1:43:49 where we're going. There's your 1:43:51 five-year vision of of 1:43:54 AI dynamic Roblox. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. 1:43:57 This is to a to a degree this exists in 1:44:00 Minecraft and Roblox, 1:44:03 right? Those are kind of worlds like 1:44:05 that, but but I think that they're very 1:44:07 limited to it's got a specific kind of 1:44:09 gameplay and it's got a specific kind of 1:44:12 mechanic and a specific kind of 1:44:15 aesthetic. And this would be a much more 1:44:18 broad 1:44:19 open kind of thing where some of it 1:44:22 might just be making music. 1:44:26 It's not making music inside a virtual 1:44:29 reality world. It's just making music in 1:44:32 this intellectual property 1:44:36 dome. That's 1:44:39 cool. That is cool. All right, I'm going 1:44:43 to get on out of here. So, um yeah, your 1:44:46 homework for the weekend is explore the 1:44:49 [ __ ] out of Chat GPT image generator. 1:44:53 Um, if you want to geek out on that 1:44:55 anthropic paper, I'm going to probably 1:44:56 read that this weekend. Um, and now 1:45:01 start thinking about the kind of world 1:45:02 you would create that would allow other 1:45:05 people to create within your 1:45:08 world. What would you want that to be? 1:45:11 That's that's a fun thought exercise for 1:45:13 the 1:45:14 weekend. All right, everybody. All 1:45:17 right, everyone. Listen, you have 1:45:19 yourselves a fantastic weekend. Next 1:45:21 week there's a AI salon uh presents on 1:45:26 um on Tuesday night with Brian Moahan 1:45:30 and Adnan talking about their book 1:45:32 Culture Shift about AI and how it's 1:45:35 shifting culture. We talked a lot about 1:45:37 that 1:45:38 tonight. Um and uh yeah, have yourselves 1:45:42 a fantastic weekend. Hope you had fun 1:45:44 tonight. All right, peace out everybody. 1:45:47 Salom. 1:45:48 So long.
